I saw Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri tonight. Mrs JC wanted to see it after Frances McDormand won the Golden Globe for it. I was in two minds as a movie about a mother whose daughter was raped and murdered had all the makings of a very depressing night out.
Wrong.
What a fucking brilliant movie. McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell are just outstanding, and the rest of the cast are spot on. Some proper laughs (some of which are just wrong), unexpected twists, much more violence than I expected and a few bits that were difficult to watch.
Go and see it.

Just watched it. You're not overselling it: It's excellent.

Free Fire. I think someone mentioned it a few pages ago. Holy shit it's goddam perfect. Funny, stupid, violent, and short. Devoid of plot and character development, it's just watching stupid people react to a situation.

@mariner4life plus Brie Larsen!
-
@taniwharugby Yep, Brie Larsen is definitely a plus.
Free Fire is great, one of my favourite films of last year. I haven't watched any of the other films by the same director (High Rise, Kill List etc), but definitely have them on my to watch list now.

You had me at funny stupid and violent, is it Strikeback levels of all three? I need something to tide me over till the new series starts.

I've only watched three series of Strikeback but I wouldn't say they're similar ... no boobs for one. After that, if you're still reading, it's just a funny shoot out movie with some annoying characters you want to see get shot. M4L summed it up perfectly actually, although his review missed Brie Larsen so he might be a wrong-un.

Hahahaha. Yeah I’m a bit worried about the lack of Larson in his review too. That would be the first thing I mentioned.

she's pretty average without cleavage, and there is zero cleavage. Also i was too busy laughing at Hammer and Copley. Holy shit Copley being over the top is funny.

Actually, I think you're the one going all MN5 with this - Brie Larson is the The Last Jedi.
But, anyway, back to the movie that stars the hot Brie Larson, Hammer was great, hugely underrated actor. I thought the Irish actor was a crack up too. The one who is in the feud who is not the guy who played Ian Curtis in Control.

@mariner4life is correct about her looks.
-
Hammer is great, he's pretty fucking funny. The Lone Ranger is going to haunt him for ages (but who wouldn't have taken that part?).
He's really good in The Man from U.N.C.L.E as well. And had a funny part playing himself in Entourage.

I don't think The Lone Ranger has really affected him TBH. I also think that it's probably due a reevaluation, wasn't as bad as made out, although it needs a reverse of the usual directors cut where someone needs to edit it down.

I love the dig at Justice League and Henry Cavill's moustache.
May can't come soon enough.

An old uni mate is a movie buff and has a blog. His latest effort has some good stuff coming in 2018
Looking forward to Black Panther - not so much for all the political stuff, but as it's looking badass imo. I am pretty confident Deadpool 2 will be epic, but there's always that niggling doubt when the first movie is soooooo good.
