'Under The Skin' starring Scarlett Johnansson
This looks really good, somewhat hard to tell what it's about from the trailer but it's based on a book and has been getting really good reviews.
Seems there isn't much buzz about this film for whatever reason. Anyone planning to see this next week?

Sex aliens in Scotland.
Sounds like a great premis for a movie. I'm in.
That and The Zero Theorem, Transendence, Interstellar, it's shaping up to be an intersting year of Sci Fi.
Hell, even the new Tom Cruise flick looks interesting.
Just don't get me started on Jupiter Ascending...I want to like the trailer but Tatum looking like a goat? Nope.
I really do appreciate Glazer and know that he's been committed to this adaptation for a long while. Sexy Beast was a great film, and Birth, although not as good, still had something interesting about it, so I'm more confident than not that this film will not disappoint, despite any variance it has with the book it's based on.
Tbf to her she's probably more qualified than you are go posting your opinions on here so. Plus she hardly reviews film on the show she merely acts as the presenter who gives her very brief opinions on the films, the show does have two respectable film critics on each week for reviews so I think people need to lay off Claudia a bit.
Claudia, get off the internet. What have I told you.
As you say, she acts as the "everyman", while more credible critics have their say. I respect Danny Leigh's opinion as a critic, so was encouraged that he was "creaming" himself about this film. Personally, I have no problem with Winkleman presenting Film 2014, as long as her opinion is drowned out by a credible critic or two. It could be worse: Simon Mayo takes over as the "everyman"...
I think she's worth a bit more than that tbh.
Setting aside your appalling grammar, qualified in what sense? To giggle like a tween and peek through her fringe, eyelids drooping under the weight of eyeliner and mascara? Yep, she`s more than qualified to do that and **** all else as far as I can tell.
Discuss this in the TV forum, there's a thread for Film 2014 somewhere.
Why do some feel the need to bring up grammar and/or spelling on here?
Other than a need to feel superior, of course.
(Not that I agree with the sentiment of Claudia Winkleman being more qualified than anyone here to share an opinion on a film. You don't need to be qualified to do so, an opinion is just that. Her simply hosting a show about film doesn't equate to being more "qualified".)
The thing about the book, was that I'd read no spoilers and so was surprised at the tangent it went off at. I thought it was going to be one genre and it turned into another. It's a shame that can't be done with film - but trailers and spoilers kind of ruin that. Plus, I think it's going to be more obvious from the start.
I shall have to wait till the DVD comes out and see how true to the book it is. I'm still looking forward to it; I'll just have different expectations.
haha, always a sign someones losing an argument when they bring up this one. Hardly appalling is it?
Thank you, always very telling when someone brings that one up.
Anyway back to the film. I don't seem to know much about this film which is unusual and exciting as it seemed to have pass me by up until a few weeks ago. I've seen on some other message boards people comparing it to something David Lynch would do but didn't know how true this actually was? I'm a massive Lynch fan but either way I'm very excited and intrigued by this film, seems to have really split opinions across the board from what I have read.
No, it`s a sign you don`t put enough care or consideration into what you`re typing. Do you care to re-type the following so it makes sense?
Movie reviewer is a job anyone can do. I say "anyone" but of course a decent grasp of the English language would be an essential so I guess that rules some people out.....
Winkleman`s stupid bloody fringe is one of her trademark features (speaks volumes that this, more than her journalistic skills or lack therof, gets more attention) so as a movie reviewer ie someone who needs to SEE the films she is commenting on it`s a perfectly fair aspect to pick up on.
Well the book is quite dark and descriptive in terms of location so I think you may be right
No, no I don't. It has an abbreviation and a typo, hardly a big deal. If you cannot understand what that sentence says than maybe the issue is closer to home. Please stop trying to personally attack me because the only person that's looking like the fool is you, trust me.
I am more than qualified in the English Language thank you so why don't you get off your high horse and stop trying to belittle me for your own personal satisfaction as you seem to have no other way to present yourself in an argument. Which is more of a reflection upon yourself not me.
Oops. Seems I'm not the only one who doesn't have 'a decent grasp of the English language' ;-) Dismounted that high horse yet?
Also, who ever said Claudia is a film reviewer? From what I can see she is a presenter who present a film show (that has respectable film critics on ) whilst also taking an interest every now and then in the films. Tess Daly presents Strictly Come Dancing but does that mean she is or has to be a ballroom dancer? I think not.
