The Drop . A slightly sad watch for any Sopranos fan obviously but I disagreed with the critics and thought it an excellent film, Tom Hardy reminds me of a young brooding De Niro, great performance.

Unbroken and Big Eyes - both recommend

The Babadook, found it claustrophobic and the tension built with the lack of sleep but when it all went bonkers it lost me and ultimately I think the idea was interesting but the film pretty shit.

Heat . To be clear I watched this in the cinema when it was first released, I just read that the coffee scene between De Niro and Pacino was filmed separately,they were never together during filming, even though there are pics of Mann, De Niro and Pacino together, they both have pro full time over the shoulder stand ins, ( I've worked in film and witnessed this) it's hard to believe and I was gutted but it's in a BFI book written about the film, i.e. no internet gossip.
I personally love that scene and don't wish to believe it but its credible, but very disappointing, if you watch the coffee scene its all over the shoulder and I've been on set and know it can take hours to relight the second guy so high end actors take no offence if pro stand ins are used.
Apart from that amazing film, in my top ten of all time, and if anyone can get me Ashley Judds number then please pm me.

Tom Hardy's done such a number on people.

Most over the top actor working today. Even when he's trying to be "still" he's effing around with his face or his beard or something he's wearing. His awful, faux tough guy overacting was on full display in the equally awful Peaky Blinders. Bloke's a posh public school boy ffs (went to the same school as Jack Whitehall) desperately trying not to be and isn't very good at it.

The new De Niro/Newman/Brando? Yeah right.

Nightcrawler….good trailer, very average film. Gyllenhaal is great though.

Its surprising just how many of the drama luvvies that go on to Hollywood are all given a leg up, come from a the family, doors open for them straight out of school. Others slog on forever.

is peaky blinders worth a watch? the concept felt like a british version of boardwalk empire (but prob crapper with less budget)

He's an actor..faux tough guy?? He was great in lawless as a tough guy and convincing! Haven't seen pesky blinders as I've though it would be shit boardwalk empire too!!! I don't think he's ever tried to deny he's posh..being posh doesn't automatically equal wimp or sensitive type

It's no surprise that posh types (and cockney types to a lesser extent) do well in Hollywood as that is what Americans like to think that Brits are like. Those two stereotypes go down very well with American audiences.
