Yup; I've always maintained he's a character actor unfortunately trapped in a leading man's body. Obviously Brad's not hurting, but Colin Ferrel is having the career he should've imo.

12 Monkeys was my turnaround with the Brad. I didn't think much of him other than being a prettyboy before that. Se7en sealed the deal when I watched it a short time later. 12 Monkeys remains one of my favourite bits of his entire filmography.

Just watched Moneyball the other day again. Forgot how much I like that movie. He plays unhinged first guy.

I think part of my love of that movie is that back then I thought Chad Bradford was the coolest and it was just cool to see him repped in the movie lol.

I reaaaaaally wanna see this and I’m struggling with my lack of desire to go to a theater.
Seeing it at my local on Monday at a special screening run by medieval scholars. Gonna rip.

Been rolling The Green Knight around in my head since seeing it last night. On the fence whether it's a full five stars or simply a near-perfect four-and-a-half. As a kid I was super into King Arthur; I remember devouring The Once and Future King, then trying the epic poem of Gawain and the Green Knight and being completely baffled. So I'd consider this a highly successful adaptation, as I found myself both enthralled and confused as hell. Great flick.
But I was a little thrown by one thing in the story, really a minor confusion more than a quibble. When Barry Keoghan takes the horse and the axe, when does Gawain get the axe back? I don't remember a part where he explicitly retrieves it, but it was a late screening and the movie got me in my head a bit so I may have missed it.

I watched 'Devil' last night (the 2010 M. Night Shyamalan film) and actually really enjoyed it.
As much as anything I really enjoyed how it was pretty much all contained within the elevator car, and the thriller aspect of 'who done it'. Does anyone have any recommendations of films like this? I'm not really bothered about the horror aspect, but certainly the thriller side of it. Films like 'Phonebooth', etc.
Cheers

Does the action need to be confined to an elevator or phone booth? If not, Knives Out was a great whodunnit movie.

Not at all!
Knives Out is one that I have seen but have meaning to watch again, thanks for the reminder. I believe there is going to be a second one at some point!

If you enjoyed that you may also like Brick. It’s a fun whodunnit by the same director, Rian Johnson. Some are annoyed by the hardboiled noir dialogue but if you can get past that it’s a nice twisty movie.

Right here with you! I’m a bit conflicted, it was very good, maybe a bit slow compared to what I expected going in. I feel like the ending fumbled it and kept it from being absolutely stellar, there was overall a punch to the movie that I kept expecting but never received. Perhaps I was just craving some visceral combat/revenge sequences or an epic duel between him and the Green Knight.
As for the axe, he received it when he left Lady Gwenifer’s. He turned around after completing his quest there and it was propped up against a pillar of the house. I believe this was implying that the man that beheaded Lady Gwenifer was the same man who stole the axe but he left it behind when he fled.
I really had a harsh dislike for the Green Knight and I loved A Ghost Story. I’ll say this, if you do go to this and you’re like me and, to be frank, never cared or read any of the Arthurian lore, do yourself a favor and read/watch before going in. There seems to be a correlation between people who knew the base going in and could take Lowery’s interpretation in that vein as opposed to a stand-alone product.
I spent so much energy trying to parse what the hell was happening or waiting for the slow burn to…well…burn that it was hard to get into the deeper themes others seemed to love.
