Review: Steve Jobs
Danny Boyle’s intriguing biopic wisely mimics its subject in avoiding industry convention.

Underrated#1: Val Kilmer in Tombstone
Val Kilmer’s turn in a random early 90s western was fucking fantastic, yet it received no Academy recognition and enjoys an unjustly low level of the modern day hype usually lavished unreservedly upon such a cult performance.
Tombstone
Dir: George P. Cosmatos
Original Release Date: 24 December 1993

Ep.10 – ‘The Martian’
No fancy title for The Punch Up podcast this week, as the chaps take a full episode to review The Martian, starring Matt Damon; a more than welcome return to form for director Ridley Scott, and probably his best film for fifteen years.

Review: Sicario
Master of misdirection Denis Villeneuve’s drug war commentary is an intense, edge of your seat assault on the senses.

Review: Black Mass
Scott Cooper and Johnny Depp’s examination of Boston crime kingpin/FBI informant James “Whitey” Bulger is intriguing in subject matter and entertaining enough in execution, but by no means a classic.

Ep. 8 – ‘It’s Such a Beautiful…Life?!’
The Punch Up returns after a couple o’ weeks in development hell (Nick went on vacation) with plenty of chat from across the world of the reel. Stevan Riley’s fantastic doc Listen to Me Marlon takes top billing following a first look at Disney’s new The Jungle Book trailer, while recent flicks discussed include Cameron Crowe’s latest ‘meh’ effort, Aloha, and deep doc, Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine. Small screen chat focuses on Netflix’s addictive, binge worthy Pablo Escobar fest, Narcos, as well as Forte/Lord/Miller’s latest comedy creation, The Last Man on Earth. We rave about The Rock (the film, not the dude, although we’d happily do both) off the back of Nick’s new PerfAction series, Joaquin Phoenix’s under the radar role, The Immigrant, pops up, and finally there’s a welcome return for Don Hertzfeld’s quite brilliant, but oh-so-depressing It’s Such a Beautiful Day.
