Locke


Another Saturday, and again another great film. Tom Hardy I had never heard of until today, I do know.
This is a brave film, could have made a gripping radio drama but with the camera fixed directly onto Ivan Locke, this became a real life drama unfolding in front of your eyes.
A must see film (two weeks in a row!)

Calvary


There are two biblical themed films to be seen this easter. One, which I have not seen, and have no intention of seeing is Noah, even though one of its stars has stayed with us. The other Calvary, is one of those brave films that every film lover should see.
Brenden Gleeson as always is tremendous, Oscar nomination possibility, but then this is a film that he was a natural for. Supporting staff, even Chris O'Dowd totally believable, the Irish landscape with the over powering presence of Benbulbin always in the background, another star.
A must see film.
