Sorry, been a bit busy but I'll try and watch St Vincent either tonight or tomorrow

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

fifth film: megan is missing

[Niamh.]

Aw I had a film I wanted to choose, I don't want to pick a Christmas movie

[MTVN]

7.5/10 for St Vincent

Didn't think it was that laugh out loud funny but pretty humorous throughout the whole thing, good feel good film with a nice story though fairly predictable and didn't feel that original. Naomi Watt's character must have been the best female character I've seen in a comedy for ages

[Niamh.]

Yay I choose Calvary

[MTVN]

My old man saw that a few weeks ago and said it was bloody stupid

[Black Dagger]

It has him out of Queer as Folk in it, you're onto a winner Niamh.

[Shaun]

[Niamh.]

Just trying to keep you cultured Shaun

[Ammi]

..Brendon Gleeson and Chris O'Dowd again.....this really is just like Christmas...

[LukeB]

St Vincent - 6.5 I will do a review when i'm not tired, work was a killer

[Niamh.]

Calvary

Spoiler:

It was a very strange film, the whole way through I kept thinking it was like reading one of the religion threads in Serious debates. It was an ok film, the performances were very good I thought but the story itself was a bit flimsy. I'll give it 6.5/10

[Ammi]

..Calvary...

Spoiler:

..wow, I don't know what to say about this movie/definitely not a feel good movie...it was so bleak with Father James as the only 'light' really in a town where there was no faith, not specifically in the church/religion but more there didn't seem to be any faith in anything/each other/the community/humanity...his daughter who (I think) had obviously tried to commit suicide or had suicidal thoughts, obviously the 'mystery' character who had been sexually abused through his childhood by a priest and his wife who seemed to have no self worth/the local landowner who had everything but cared for nothing, not even himself..the old guy whose priority was to ensure that he could end his life when the time was right and the guy who owned the bar who seemed to have a huge resentment and hate toward the church...oh and the lady whose husband was killed...and Father James seemed to be losing himself in the lack of hope in others and yet still his only focus in his 'last week' was to try to 'heal his flock'..to do the best he could to help with their hollow lives...just a 'good priest' and a good man...even though the ending was predicted in the first few minutes, I still found it quite shocking and I didn't quite get when his daughter went to visit him in prison..was that a 'forgiveness thing'...anyway, even though it was such a bleak movie/the characters were so 'real' and so absorbing that I was totally spellbound by it and Brendan Gleeson was superb as always so I'm going to give it an 8/10...

Calvary - 5/10

[MTVN]

Looks like Niamh has killed the film club with her penchant for Irish cinema

[Niamh.]

[Shaun]

I'll watch it tomorrow if I find the time I have downloaded it

[Niamh.]

anyone who doesn't watch it is getting perma banned for being racist

[Tom4784]

It was an excellent film, I thought the casting and writing was very strong and it was very atypical. It's depressing and grim but I think the subject matter is handled well. I don't really want to go into plot details otherwise I'd spoil it but I think it's well worth a watch.

8/10

[Black Dagger]

omg i forgot, i will watch this tomorrow and bulk up the reviews a bit so it doesn't yet die a painful death </3

[LukeB]

soo.. who is next to chose

[Shaun]

Right, now Christmas is over I'll get around to watching this tonight

[LukeB]

[Black Dagger]
