Cold In July. Here's a blurb I didn't write earlier:

 

 

How can a split-second decision change your life? While investigating noises in his house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane puts a bullet in the brain of a low-life burglar, Freddy Russell. Although he's hailed as a small-town hero, Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family's safety when Freddy's ex-con father, Ben, rolls into town; hell-bent on revenge. However, not all is as it seems. Shortly after Dane kills the home intruder, his life begins to unravel into a dark underworld of corruption and violence. Twists and turns continue to pile up as the film reaches its inevitable destination: a gore-soaked dead end. Michael C. Hall brings a shell-shocked vulnerability to his portrayal of Dane that contrasts perfectly with the grizzled "badasses" portrayed by Sam Shepard and Don Johnson. Directed with an excellent eye for the visual poetry of noir, this pulpy, southern-fried mystery is a throwback to an older breed of action films; one where every punch and shotgun blast opens up both physical and spiritual wounds. Cold in July is hard to shake as an east Texas summer.

 

It's ace.

 

1) Boss performances from the cast; Michael C.Hall ( Dexter ), Don Johnson and Sam Shepard.

 

2) It's based on the Joe R.Lansdale book of the same name. Need I say more?

 

8/10.

Michael C Hall is followed by Six Feet Under, always.

Michael C.Hall ( Dexter ) would agree with me.

Michael C.Hall, known for roles such as Dexter, Paycheck, Peep world and Bereft, implores you to watch Cold In July.

[Boss]

Agreed.

 

 

Go ed Allsopp you fat fucking wench. Down you go.

 

Now you Whitehall, yep you skinny little cunt sub-zero is after some of that arse then he is going to kill you. and eat you. you fuck.

 

No point fighting Spence, in you go shit-pipe. Go on.

 

What's that Osbourne? I cant hear you all I can hear is the chainsaw. Taraa

 

Right then you will all have to breath in, you too fat cunt, in yous go. go on, see ya cast of TOWIE yer friggin cunts

 

Spence would end up becoming one of professionals, we'd be called "Gaydar" and would carry electrically charged dildo's and have an advanced infrared radar so he can sneak up behind anyone and insert his weapon into the victims orifice's. Think about how scary that would be for a minute, you just feel the presence of this face behind you before it's all over.

 

 

And as your dying he'll just let go a quick quip like - "Your a real pain in the ass" before scurrying off.

I'll watch it if you give him his proper title.

[Sugar Ape]

Jeez. Ok.

 

Michael C.Hall, perhaps best known as the narrator of an episode of Vietnam in HD, asks you to kindly watch Cold In July.

 

Happy now?

Went to see Home Alone 2 in Cafe Tabac on Monday night - a mate of the new girlfriend was screening it to raise some money for a cancer hospice.

The film: 6/10.

People staring stone faced at the screen, not reacting at all to anything that they saw and then announcing it was much funnier than the first (which begs the question what they're like watching that - howling with rage at the screen?): 11.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Actually, Cheek and thong, up in stroke. 6/10. Boring.

 

I actually really like it, but given its place in folklore, I was a little disappointed. 7/10.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Nightcrawler - 7/10.

 

I wouldn't say I liked it. It was made well enough but the story was lacking, in my view.

[Archimede]

Paddington. Brought the kids. Thought it was ace. Kidman brilliant as baddie. 9/10

[cochyn]

Mr Turner.

 

Long. Very long and at times it feels likes more of a showcase of amazing talent than a cogwent film at times. Tim Spall is brilliant, as is everyone in it to be fair.

Das boot. 10/10

 

Very atmospheric /claustrophobic. On film 4 yesterday

 

Was lucky enough to have known a german u boat crewman in the late 70s. He was a young 17 yr old when he joined up.,I used to work on Garston docks in a shipping office for a few years, and he was the captain of a container ship,he was a great fella,would tell us about his experiences if you asked him,he said being depth charged for hours on endwas a fucking nightmare ,and he always stressed how lucky he was to survive.I think the statistics were something like of 40,000 submariners,who served in WW2,30,000 were killed.

It's my all time favourite film ( German dialogue English subs ) and I'm more than happy to stump up and say so. It's a difficult thing, to choose a favourite, but this movie is it, for me.

 

I had the great fortune to watch Das Boot in a small intimate theatre, after it was restored, with sound remastered into 5.1 surround. Three and a half hours. No intermission. Genius.

Das Boot is die Hunde Hoden.

Nightcrawler - 7/10.

It was good for the first two thirds then falls apart with a clunky premise in the last third. Can't fault Gyllenhall's performance though.

Awesome. I think the average age of a U Boat captain was 25, mindblowing.

[Furmedge]

Nightcrawler - 8/10.  Wouldn't have scored it so highly but for Gyllenhall's performance.  Predictable in parts, excellently written and acted in others.  Gyllenhall nailed the character, just a shame it wasn't as dark as it could have been.

[Mook]

Inbetweeners 2, 6/10 but some very funny bits.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Yeah, he was good. Good performance, no doubt.
