I loved it tbh and have seen it three times haha.
actual somewhat spoilers
the whole movie being based on childbirth and the womb theory makes it even more enjoyable to rewatch

I can't believe Atlas Shrugged actually got a third movie. Haven't the other two been huge financial failures?
Expendable.

I was mixed on Skeleton Twins, and Eleanor Rigby: Them was decent, but not great. Waiting to see Her & Him to include next month if it's good.

Just watched the trailer for Skeleton Twins. I really want to watch that now.
edit: Month looks bleak though. Hoping for October to be better.

Hadn't heard of either A Walk Among the Tombstones or The Guest before this thread, but now I really really want to see both of them.
Expendable.

Not yet, screens soon at TIFF. Good cast, but not expecting much due to Shawn Levy at the helm.

I just saw what he's done. Yikes, here's hoping this can be his breakout lol

Looking for something to see this weekend, likely between Wetlands and Starred Up. Anyone have thoughts?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
What a strange month...a self-aware Nick Cave movie, a movie by the Belle and Sebastian guy, and Kevin Smith's walrus movie (which I guess didn't make this list).
I feel like I have to see Two Sides of January in that cast alone. Anyone seen it?

Starred Up is fantastic. Reminiscent of Un prophète, if you've seen that. Jack O'Connell is having the year of his life.
I loved it. I fully understand if someone doesn't like it, or even hate it, but Viggo Mortensen always pulls through in my eyes. Has a very Hitchockian vibe to it, which I really liked, and plays very well on the tensions between its main characters. Also builds great atmosphere akin to The Ghost Writer though not as dark. I'd recommend it anyhow.
The Congress was awful IMO. Cheesy, sappy, overly convoluted, and melodramatic.
Saw The Guest on Saturday. It was a great movie. The director and writer were describing it as a cross between Terminator and Halloween in terms of concept.
It's a really fun movie that I'm sure most here would enjoy.
I can't find Stray Dogs playing anywhere in Toronto! This is driving me mad, since I've been wanting to see it for over a year now.

Starred Up is goddamn amazing. Probably my #3 film of this year. The acting is some of the best this year, and it's brutal heartfelt stuff. I felt like crying at points. You really feel like you're in the prison as another character.
This is a good mood trailer that hopefully sells it to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgpbuMgRdMk

I ended up seeing Wetlands due to proximity / time convenience and it was... something else. Gross, crass, kind of sweet, really well-acted, fun, insane, weird. Just. I don't know, it's a really tough movie to pigeonhole! Or describe! Starred Up didn't stick around IFC very long, sadly, but I will definitely rectify once it comes to blu-ray.

Seconded. Fucking amazing film. Jack O'Connell should win awards for that performance. I knew he was a good actor from watching him in Skins but man what a performance. It's soul crushing, heartbreaking, touching cinema. Such an amazing film. I highly recommend it to anyone who's thinking of seeing it. Sometimes you just have to take a chance on films and sometime you're deeply rewarded. One of the best films of the year.
Also out of the films listed in the OP does anyone know which ones are out on VOD yet? I've looked and could only find The Two Faces Of January. Just asking because I'd love to see the Liam Neeson film and am not sure when it's going to be out.
