Clue 1. "Political Hangover" - Presumably reference to the three flavours cornetto trilogy... cornetto being used as a hangover cure in each movie.

judeboy101 · 19-06-2017 03:16PM

So tempted to go tonight

Mr E · 19-06-2017 04:21PM

Looks like Baby Driver alright. After just reading Empire's 5 star review, I'm really tempted too...

Mr E · 19-06-2017 10:38PM

It was Baby Driver and it was cool as f**k. Absolutely loved it.

MilesMorales1 · 19-06-2017 10:56PM

Well I'm a prize dummy/ Awesome it was good though.

spurious · 19-06-2017 11:08PM

Enjoyed it very much. The coolest film this summer for sure. Loved the soundtrack.

Telecaster58 · 20-06-2017 09:36AM

The next one is July 17th

MilesMorales1 · 23-06-2017 03:31PM

Just been emailed with notification of the next Odeon Cinema Screen Unseen.

Monday 17th July - 20:15

Clue 1: 0.6 in a million

Mr E · 23-06-2017 04:55PM

Number related movies out in the few weeks after that are:

Valerian and the City of a Thousands Planets
6 Days

Both out early August.

Atomic Blonde is the kind of movie that they'd show too (due August 11th)

judeboy101 · 23-06-2017 05:38PM

Dunkirk? Or valerian

Mr E · 08-07-2017 11:09AM

Screen Unseen for Monday week looks like it will be American Made. Never heard of it, but it looks good. It's a biopic of Barry Seal (infamous drug smuggler and gun runner), stars Tom Cruise and was directed by Doug Liman.

Clues nicked from Reddit.

Clue 1: 0.6 in a million - This is the chance of someone dying in a plane crash flying out of America and Canada. Barry Seal, the main character in the biopic was employed as a drug smuggling pilot who regularly flew shipments of cocaine in/out of the US.

Clue 2: From 39 to 86 - This is a reference to Barry Seal, who was born in 1939 and died in 1986. Barry Seal is the the main character in the biopic American Made

Clue 3: Neo in another life - Tom Cruise, the star of American Made was considered for the role of Neo in The Matrix.

Looks like fun.

spurious · 12-07-2017 03:27PM

Looking forward to switching off the brain for a bit. Trailer is certainly enjoyable.

Mr E · 17-07-2017 09:39PM

Sh*te. The movie was The Big Sick.

Would love to have seen that. I hope someone explains those obscure clues.

spurious · 17-07-2017 10:22PM

Thought that was a dead cert for 'American made' but 'The big sick' was hugely enjoyable. Biggest crowd I've seen in Coolock so far for a Screen Unseen. Didn't see anyone leave.

Telecaster58 · 10-08-2017 10:31AM

Next one is 21st August. Wind River looks like getting the nod

Mr E · 21-08-2017 04:27PM

Reminder - this is on tonight. General consensus seems to be Wind River, with Patti Cake$ as an outside bet (mainly because Cineworld's early screenings and Screen Unseen have overlapped with the same movies a few times, and Patti Cake$ is showing early in Cineworld).

Clues fit Wind River better though. Looks like a great movie.

Any reason movies on at 8? They used to be on later i can never make the early ones

Mr E · 21-08-2017 04:50PM

8:15 in my local Odeon. Yeah not ideal (9 would suit better).

MilesMorales1 · 21-08-2017 10:52PM

What was it?

Mr E · 21-08-2017 10:52PM

It was Wind River.

I see 1 or 2 movies in the cinema every week and this was the best I've seen this year so far.

It was like a movie length episode of Longmire with Renner as a younger Walt (and I mean that as a compliment).

I never really rated Elizabeth Olsen up to now, but she was fantastic in this.

Brilliant brilliant brilliant.

spurious · 21-08-2017 11:22PM

+1 on everything Mr E said. Loved it.

Telecaster58 · 22-08-2017 04:54PM

Have to agree with the above

Mr E · 14-09-2017 08:30PM

Scream Unseen is next Monday night and the 4 clues are all out.

Clue 1: Snake-like skipper
Clue 2: Modulated magpie mockery
Clue 3: Same recent guise as the Freedom Fellow
Clue 4: Oversaw all of Jagger's favourite things

There is a good theory that it's The Ritual over on Reddit, but it's not certain.

Trailer Link, out on Friday 13th of October so the timing fits. It actually looks like a good movie too.

Mr E · 18-09-2017 09:06PM

So it was The Ritual. Didn't bother going.

Nor did I. Seems we may have dodged a bullet there judging by early reviews.

spurious · 09-10-2017 10:36PM

Tonight it was 'The Death of Stalin', a black comedy.
I knew nothing about it in advance, which I suppose is the point.
Kind of madcap and clever at the same time. I enjoyed it.

Mr E · 09-10-2017 10:41PM

Yeah didn't get home in time after work to get out to it. After the last clue, I was expecting Ingrid Goes West (and I'm glad it wasn't)

That's out on November 17th and the next Screen Unseen is on October 23rd, so there is a good chance.

Telecaster58 · 10-10-2017 08:48AM

Sorry to say but The Death of Stalin, despite its pedigree of writer and stars, just wasn't funny enough. A few walkouts at the screening I attended. I was quite disappointed.

Mr E · 21-10-2017 06:42PM

Looks like Monday's Screen Unseen is Battle of the Sexes.
