a good start. some scenes were excellent but some were amateurish. overall like i said above, not bad and worth a watch
 
Fury_2014_poster.jpg

I loved it, so an A+ for me and I can see now why a bunch of people I know said I should see it
and after seeing it, someone I served with long ago sought me out via FB :eek: and through him I am now in contact with another one of our old crew mates :)
however, I can see how its not a film for everyone, I suppose that if you have never felt that kind of comradeship, then a lot of it might be lost to you :confused::o
making it like a B- or something :straightface:
 
TWO DAYS,ONE NIGHT

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2737050/

Very touching,realistic,simplistic no thrills movie that could be the personal story of the person next door.
I 'm living and surviving in Greece so it clicked me inside from the start.

Good People

Kate Hudson as american wife in London with husband running into economic problems due to restoration of a house. Quite ok with some action along the way but far from a classic.

The Equaliser

Denzel Washington in a heavy action film about doing the right thing for a young girl. Bit too long for my taste as films that are 2 hours or longer require a lot to keep you interested along the way. Ending with Moby's version of "New Dawn Fades" by Joy Division was pure magic however and the second time that version is used in a film as it was also used for the 1995 film Heat starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

The Calling

Susan Sarandon stars as a police chief in a sleepy town disturbed by a number of murders. This film manages to create characters that feel authentic and that interest you and the criminal story is very well written. One of the better criminal films this year.

White Reindeer

This is the ultimate xmas film for adults no matter if you love or hate xmas. Loved it from start to finish and it is about a married woman coping with a sudden tragedy during the time leading up to xmas. The film asks us if we wanna be the ghost of xmas past or of future ones. Anna Margaret Hollyman is amazing is this film and new to me so I better check her other films out as well.

The Playroom

For a massive fan of the film "The Ice Storm" like me I happened to read that people compared "The Playroom" with it and they were not wrong. 70's american family seen from the view of the children watching their parents marriage crumble as they party away to forget their sorrows. A pleasure to watch this and great actors all through it.

A funny xmas related film with Robin Williams that made me laugh a lot during this silly season. Robin singing "Silent Night" is touching to say the least. After this one he only made one more where he acted and in the final one he did the voice in what was his last contribution during his amazing career.

Automata

Futuristic drama starring Antonio Banderas where robots grow a mind of their own. This film combined with the music in it reminded me of several other films in the same environment which is dirty and bleak. It never manages to leave any sort of impact and in the end it feels like both the actors and the director lost interest.

Electric Slide

About the "New York Yankees Bandit" Eddie Dodson and his many bank robberies in the 80's. I found this one to be quite pathetic in many ways and cannot even share many other peoples excitement at the soundtrack which contained some Psychedelic Furs from when they were really crap. Chloe Sevigny is in it only to show she lost the little good looks some claim she once had that I never could see myself.
 
"About Time"

Made me :tears: a couple of times. I'd give it 7/10. Bonus for having Rachel McAdams in it.

The Black Heart

This sci-fi is about a man having a heart op and the donor turns out to have been murdered. The new heart makes the transplant patient able to see the donors murder and a hunt for the killers begin. Not too exciting overall but at least it was quite well written.

The Drop

Any film about the NY mob sort of needs James Gandolfini for it to work but in this one he is not the big star because Tom Hardy does a great job as his bar colleague. The film was made from a short story about the mob using various bars to drop off their cash. I happened to see an interview with swedish actress Noomi Rapace ahead of this release and in the interview she said that she never auditions for her roles as she is unable to perform then. I guess we can take that as a sign that she can pick and choose the roles she wanna play.
This film is really heavy in a good way without a lot of blood and violence and was a pleasure to watch.
