    It's a very strange movie.

    I'm sure the mirror scene is on You tube.

    @Rancid-Schnitzel awesome, just looked it up on IMDB...synopsis:
    A mysterious young woman seduces lonely men in the evening hours in Scotland. However, events lead her to begin a process of self-discovery.

    Under the cast list we have actors names with who they played in the film:
    Scarlett Johansson...
    The Female
    Jeremy McWilliams ...
    The Bad Man
    Lynsey Taylor Mackay...
    The Dead Woman
    Dougie McConnell ...
    Pick-Up Man

    you get the picture....

    There was also some dude with the elephant man disease.

    In other words, a load of bizarre, arty bollocks saved only by the delightful Ms Johanssen stripping.

    Uhmm... Of course I only ask in terms of the artistic merit of the film, but just how much did she strip and reveal?

    A perfectly legitimate and non-perv related question.

    I don't recall the scene too well, as I was more engrossed in the other aspects of this masterpiece, but if memory serves me correctly she appears bare-arse farking naked in front of a mirror.

    I saw Fences the other day. I thought the story and acting were excellent but it very much appeared like a play which had been turned into a film. I don't think it worked very well as a piece of cinema. Story and acting are important though so 3.5 stars from me

    Self/less

    I really liked this. As someone else said: probably the best acting performance of Ryan Reynolds's career (outside Deadpool).

    A tale of the struggle with mortality, and the consequences it can have, is pretty interesting in a society where science promises to conquer aging and decay. But like in this case, maybe only for the wealthy!

    Automata

    Looked interesting - I'm a bit of a sucker for dystopia movies. Pace was a little slow, and Banderas obviously got pussy-whipped into putting then-wife Meg Ryan Melanie Griffiths into it. Probably why they're split up, as trying to make her old plastic head sound like a robotics engineer was always going to fail.

    Anyway, I thought it could have used a bit more zing, but it was quite well shot and scored. Very interesting concepts around AI and whatnot.

    @canefan With plastic surgery it's an easy mistake to confuse the two nowadays. 😉

    She was pretty tidy in Cherry 2000 which was one of the more amusing early 80s post apocalyptic films that came after mad max

    John Wick 2. Incredible. Maybe even better than the first.

    @jegga The only actor to be killed by an alien, the terminator and the predator.

    I'm a big fan of Tombstone but also like Aliens and True Lies.
