I recently sat down and watched Sing Street, a comedy/drama about a young Dublin-based band forming in the 80s which, for fairly obvious reasons, I bet a lot of U2 fans would naturally enjoy. One of the best feelgood films I've seen in years with genuinely compelling original songs.
I want to elaborate on Logan by saying I think it's the best movie I've seen because of how it portrays human relationships. There are plenty of other movies with interesting plotlines and interesting premises, but I can say with confidence that almost all of those have completely unrealistic portrayal of human relationships. Also, the movie is incredibly clever. It takes place in 2029, but doesn't overreach in its portrayal of a futuristic world. The most futuristic element in the movie are self-driving cargo trucks, completely reasonable considering the current proliferation of self-driving cars. Given the current political atmosphere in America regarding immigration and how there is dialogue about revoking citizenship and deporting those born in the US from immigrant parents, the portrayal of militaristic organizations hunting down children seems a bit closer to reality than people want to admit.
Anyone watch The Belko Experiment yet? It's James Gunn's passion project that he wrote the script for ages ago but finally got the confidence to produce after his massive success with Guardians.
Saw “Leap Year“ on tv this morning. Irish movie. Was like coming home, been to all those places the film was happening. And Declan The Irishman...yummy
