We all had true LOL moments throughout the flick. Yet plenty of shocking times, too. Like you, we're all fans of dark humor, so appreciated McDonagh's ability to skillfully navigate through it in the film. As a character actor, Gleeson is a movie treasure. He's great in everything. And I'd put Colin Farrell's performance in In Bruges as some of his finest work ever. Bruges really does look like a beautiful/historic city with lots of places and things to explore. Awesome that you actually toured it. McDonagh was nominated for best Original Screenplay--he really is a gifted writer. His plays are similarly darkly hilarious--The Lieutenant of Inishmore is lol. He did 7 Psychopaths and won for Three Billboards (but I think In Bruges was much better than both of them). His brother John also writes and directs--if you like Gleeson (and we love him) he was in two good ones--Calvary and the stupid funny The Guard. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What a great/complex story. I think Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell are the best American actors today by a mile. Started 7 Psychopaths a while back, but could not get through it. After watching In Bruges, family said we need to revisit the film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

munchmemory 12,728 Posted Monday at 09:19 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:19 PM Caught News of the World starring Tom Hanks this weekend. Not a bad movie. Just one which was missing some sort of spark that could have made it a much better film. A bit dull and meandering. 6/10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JetPotato 4,041 Posted Tuesday at 04:22 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:22 PM I don't know why I let it happen, but watched the new Melissa McCarthy thing in Netflix with the wife last weekend (Thunder Force). Same silly humor as all her other stuff, but Jason Bateman absolutely stole the movie. There's 2 or 3 scenes he had that had me dying. Just fast forward to those.

I gotta say, we’ve actually loved some of her recent movies-they kill me- but we couldn’t get through it. Typically her sidekick plays off on her really well. This one, not so much. And we like stupid movies. Spy. The Heat. Bridesmaids. Identify Thief. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
