Quintus is probably forced too. If I take the kids to the cinema I have to selfishly make sure it is quality and something I don't mind seeing myself. I simply refuse to sit through Minions movies and merchandise minded trash like that with them, their mum can go instead. The last movie she took them to was Angry Birds. Sod that lark.

Both were way better than John Wick American Ultra was terrible. To even compare John Wick to it is just not fair. Ultra is a comedy with some action written by Max Landis (terrible writer btw) while Wick was a nice old school action film with tremendous action scenes. John Wicks' story was stupid and simple, but that's not the important stuff. Its an action movie through and through and delivers immensely with a nice world with the assassins built in but not in your face. American Ultra couldn't decide what it wanted to be and didn't do comedy or action well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Martin Scorsese’s ‘Silence’ Lands Oscar-Season Release Date New Scorsese coming out 12/23. Weird to me that this movie is coming out in 3 months and no composer is announced. For a movie like Wolf of Wall Street, it makes sense to use licensed music for the soundtrack, but a movie like Silence is begging for a wonderful Howard Shore score. I hope it doesn't mean that Scorsese is going to use classical music recordings or something (not that that would be bad necessarily, I'd just prefer an original score).

I looked on IMDb and the only music credit so far is Alejandro de la Llosa as music supervisor. Who knows if that's legit or outdated or whatever, but if it stays that way then it could mean classical pieces, or maybe even just Japanese source music.
