    Don't Miss This

    The Guardian described this new director as a 'cokehead Mike Leigh' and they're not wrong. It's a provocative film, and some scenes are hard to watch, but it's also subtle, thoughtful and often very funny. Some of the dialogue between amateur drug dealers is hilarious, bringing relief to the violence. The main actor delivers a brilliantly understated performance. I can't remember when a main character ever had less lines of dialogue or less desire to express himself, and the result is quite mesmeric. I think this director is one to watch. Looking forward to seeing what he's going to do next. See this film x.

    A taste of film nights of old.

    Protein 2024

    Plot is fairly straight forward. I'm Not giving any plots away so don't worry. Ex squaddie suffering from PTSD has now developed a taste for human flesh, which helps bulk up his frail & previously bullied body.

    Throw in a gangland turf war and embittered cops and a lot and I mean a lot of tasty nibbles.

    It's a revenge movie, without an obvious direction other than don't cross the sullen silent guy.

    That's about it, it was viewed by one of our gang rating it highly on the strength of a poor man's "Dead Man's Shoes". It is a bit, but it's not a patch on the aforementioned Shane Meadows classic.

    Entertaining but very very silly 5/10

    Highlight of the night was the resurrection of Berkeley Towers Film Night, except in a different venue 20 years later.

    The premise of the film night was the 3 or 4 of a group of friends (acquaintances lol)who lived together, not in the biblical sense. They would democratically vote for a number of films and take aways on the night to entertain us. This was pre marriage and children.

    Films tonight were chosen by Mike, democracy out of the window "it's Mike's Way or No Way".

    Lozz was happy either way. Tonight was at his gaff so he wins with a night of stupidity and drunken banter and me, I was too tired to care.

    Tonight starting at 5pm was the film Inside, an Australian prisoner, a bit like Porridge on steroids, that fizzled out due to the sound of me eating crisps , and poor enunciation from the actors (probably our collective deafness didn't help) 20 minutes in we binned it. What followed was the above mentioned "Protein" and the copious eating of pizza protein and the consuming of alcohol. It got to 9.30 and I was dead on my feet. So I was the first to bail out and off I went home to cycle to my comfy bed.

    Leaving the guys to watch "Bring Her Back" which looked a far better option of our two early damn squibs.

    Night guys hope you enjoyed the film. 9/10 for the film night, losing a point for the lateness of the hour (9.30 isn't late!)

    Must do this again...
