    Anyone seen Birdman yet? Just saw it today and I... dont know what to think of it. Its mad altogether. Technically brilliant too. Almost the entire movie is basically "one shot".

    Yep..thought it was great, and this is coming from a man who struggles with plot lines any more technical than "Die Hard".

    Yeah I thought it was interesting, still don't really know what to make of the very end of it. Also love the way the world's most pretentious movie attacks the world's least pretentious theatre for being pretentious.

    My expectations were too high. The film has divided opinion to a degree. I thought it wasn't as good as everyone was saying

    Though Birdman was excellent, almost like being at a piece of theatre in the cinema. Every scene is like a different play.

    I thought the camera style was nauseating and disorientating. It did make it feel very real though, it really highlighted the acting as if it was right in front of my face. The percussion as a soundtrack felt wrong to me, it kept taking me out of the film. I didn't know where the whole thing was going throughout it. It felt somewhat aimless. Edward Norton was absolutely brilliant though.

    I dunno, I was expecting a lot, but I was expecting something totally different. As with all cinema, go with an open mind and you should be pleasantly surprised. But yeah, I thought it was brilliant. The direction is challenging and engaging, I felt like I was having a panic attack for the whole thing, along with the main character.

    Yeah the percussion thing seems to be a divider for people. I loved it, it just added to the tension and pace of the movie. The biggest thing for me was how they portrayed New York, it felt like a character in itself, it's society, the artist snobbery and the youthful generation being repulsed by it. NYC is my favourite place on the planet, and a lot of the time it's hard to describe why - all movies try to capture it in OTT cliches but few actually manage to do so successfully.

    Funnily enough the percussion soundtrack and the cinematography were my two favourite parts of the film. Overall I thought the film was excellent and would recommend it to anyone. It and Whiplash were my 2 favourite films of the past year, with Birdman just edging it

    Loved Birdman. Been meaning to watch Whiplash. Must go see it next week.
    Is Foxcatcher worth seeing?

    Ya I'd def watch Foxcatcher, and if you don't know anything about the story don't Google it as it would probably take away a bit from the movie.

    Steve Carell is excellent in it

    I never watch day time tv!

    Jeremy Kyle is bound to be on though, might be more entertaining. "My father impregnated my wife and my dog before stealing my DLA."
