Watched Dallas Buyers Club a couple of days ago. I thought it surprisingly good.
Great film. Matthew McConaughey played the part AND looked the part. Was very surprised how long he lived (Ron Woodroof). The horrible condition got him in the end though.
In Cornwall, around 1800, a young woman discovers that she's living near a gang of criminals who arrange shipwrecks for profit.
Charles Laughton: Sir Humphrey Pengallan
Maureen O'Hara: Mary - Joss Merlyn's Niece
Robert Newton: Trehearne
What a film . Some 'legends' in this un. The start nearly lost me as the acting was very suspect at first from the nonentities but once the 'big guns' appeared on the screen all was well.
I particularly wanted to see Charles Laughton as I haven't long watched Hobson's Choice which is a masterpiece in my opinion.
Thoroughly enjoyed the film but mainly because of my observations of Charles Laughton.
I've always liked watching movies with Seann William Scott in them. Wasn't too sure about spending time watching this movie though as it looked overly sentimental to me. Anyway I gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised. A film that isn't hard on the old brain-box, that has plenty of humour and leaves you feeling quite good - well OK-ish.
