The Big Short, about the 2007 financial meltdown, starring Steve Carrell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt in quite a small role. Absolutely brilliant, loved it.
Freebie and the Bean, classic 70s tough guy cop shit with James Caan and Alan Arkin, brilliant, crazy stunts.

Seems a little early for a trailer.[/reply]
Ha ha ha! Great one liner.
I watched a great Norwegian thriller last night called Headhunters. It’s about a high-end recruitment specialist who steals art on the side to keep his relationship alive with his hot, tall wife - she likes the finer things in life. He steals from the wrong person, a guy who used to be in the special forces and specialised in tracking his prey. Basically a very tense, but also very funny, game of cat and mouse. Great film, really enjoyed it.
I’ll second that that is a terrific one, there was never a second in that film where my mind wandered. Also a great showpiece for Coster-Waldau, it was actually this that was my intro to him rather than ‘Game of Thrones’.

Should I check Westwood to see if nerds are already in line?

I enjoyed the acting in “The Big Short,” but for the life of me, I had NO IDEA what was going on, other than that a bunch of individuals forecasted the market crash and made beaucoup ducats off of it. At one point, I turned to my mother (I was visiting her in FL and we went to the movies - suck it up and get over it) and whispered, “WTF is going on?!”
I saw Silence yesterday. I knew it wasn’t going to be an easy watch from the trailer and it wasn’t. The first scene shows Japanese Christians being tied to crosses and sprinkled with hot spring water to get them to recant their beliefs and it only gets worse from there.
And unlike say, Passion of the Christ, it doesn’t offer any easy answers about morality, apostasy, martyrdom, or theodicy. All the cast was excellent, but Tadanobu Asano was exceptional as Kichijiro.

So this is a Hollywood type production (not “documentary”)? Is it based on some actual cases or something?
Your little snippet was interesting. I’m curious.
It’s a fictional film directed by Martin Scorsese. In (some) theaters now.

It’s historical fiction set in the 17th century and based the book by Shūsaku Endō of the same name.
Two of the characters, Cristóvão Ferreira and Inoue Masashige, were both real people, but most of the others are fictional. Christianity first took hold in Japan in the 16th century in the midst of a civil war and was at first mostly tolerated. But the Tokugawa shogunate later cracked down because they feared that the spread of Christianity was threatening the unification of the nation.

All the banks were bust (Think back the to black jack cut scene with selena Gomez) but nobody knew the banks were bust (well, people knew but nobody was saying anything), so all of the people were still placing side bets (investing) on a hand of black jack (stocks and investments) that nobody knew was over. And not only was the hand over but “odds makers” were still giving odds (made up odds) on a dead hand as if it were live. The main guys knew the hand was over and “bet” accordingly. Steve Carrels character knew it was over and was trying to tell people as much but he was dismissed as a crank until the bust actually happened during the speech his opponent was giving.
Thanks for sharing
Wow, this guy really picked the wrong place to spam. Not going to squeeze any blood out of this turnip.
I went to their website out of curiosity - wanted to see the homepage of the kind of “essay company” that would throw out such poor writing in their spam.
Malwarebytes blocked me from going there. That’s some serious shit.

Good to know.
I just watched this as well. Fucking amazing. It flows like a Scorcese film and Carrell is phenomenal. I highly recommend
