Skyfall Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Mud is the best movie I've seen in 2013 and one of the best movies I can recall in recent years. It was a limited release movie but with fairly A list cast. Rotten Tomatoes has it at a positive 98%. Mud is an adventure about two boys, Ellis and his friend Neckbone, who find a man named Mud hiding out on an island in the Mississippi. Mud describes fantastic scenarios-he killed a man in Texas and vengeful bounty hunters are coming to get him. He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper, who is waiting for him in town. Skeptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him. It isn't long until Mud's visions come true and their small town is besieged by abeautiful girl with a line of bounty hunters in tow. Matthew McConaughey is fantastic in this film. http://youtu.be/Pv30J05U2nI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfall Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes not perfect but the best of the year. Keep an eye on Michael Shannon I said that about Shannon going into The Iceman, but I was very disappointed. He was pretty good in Premium Rush and excellent in Take Shelter!

Skyfall Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I thought Matt's performance in this was fantastic, but after seeing the trailer for Dallas Buyers Club, I think he may top it. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=108219 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty good in Premium Rush and excellent in Take Shelter! I think The Iceman script was the problem. Superman was bad and he nearly saved it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
