After being left destroyed by the chaos that had followed Jim and his alcoholic alter ego Jack Devlin (Tim Roth) from the UK, TIN STAR SEASON 2 picks up where we left our unlikely hero, cut off in the remote Rockies wilderness with his grieving and shell-shocked family struggling to come to terms with their ordeal.
No word of a lie, in this pandemic I have cleaned out the entire house and in the cleaning I found TIN STAR Season 2 DVD’s. I would also like to apologise for the complete lack of Salty Popcorn action but i’ve got good excuse – I had a stroke on a mountain in the snow in Japan haha. I am about 95% healed and ready to kick if off again!
Season 1 of Tin Star was amazing and I will be starting Season 2 tonight. We’re giving away 9x copies on DVD. I binged the entire Season 1 over two days. TIN STAR runs for a total of 438mins and is rated MA15+. I am hoping for more of the Tim Roth goodness!!
TIN STAR SYNOPSIS:
Seeking refuge from her own parents, Anna is taken in by the God-fearing Nickel family, headed up by Pastor Johan (John Lynch) his wife Sarah (Anamaria Marinca) and daughter Rosa (Jenessa Grant), and hidden with the Ammonites – a religious community close to Little Big Bear.
However the peaceful prairie family are harbouring secrets of their own and it’s not long before Anna is forced to seek her father’s help, as an altogether more hellish threat emerges. If Jim is to find a way to save his family, atone for his sins he must form an uneasy alliance in the battle for forgiveness…

I have chosen Made in Britain, I saw it when I visiting the UK back in 1983 and have never forgotten it. It was one of those films where he was always challenging authority, may a seen a tiny bit of myself in him!!!
I love lie to me…. Hard to pick one moment. But the first season was so good to watch. Him breaking someone down for the way they looked away or changed their tone when talking.
Oh my goodness, I hope you’re feeling better. I totally agree with you Season 1 of Tin Star was amazing and I still haven’t seen season 2. Tim Roth was fantastic in Tin Star Season 1 but my first memory of him will always be Reservoir Dogs, I remember being mesmerised, dazzled, fascinated and appalled in equal measures with the explosive dialogue, action and violence and Tim Roth was outstanding
In the Hateful Eight when Oswaldo Mobray ( Tim Roth ) introduces himself to John Ruth (Kurt Russell) – a brilliant piece of banter and top introduction as the Hangman
It nay not have been the best movie ever but I really liked his portrayal of the Abomination in the early MCU film The Incredible Hulk
Rob Roy. Very good film overall, and Tim Roth’s performance is one of my all time favorites. He’s so completely detestable and unnerving, I want him to die in the slowest and most painful way imagineable. There aren’t many villains who can evoke such a strong reaction from me.
Meantime is a 1983 TV movie it is one of Tim Roth best performances, he’s role as Colin part of an unemployed family in the recession in London’s east end is and how they cope with day to day struggles is highly entertaining, wicked, and thought provoking.
That sounds horribly scary, I hope you’re recovering well with lots of TV binge watching?
Tim Roth’s performance as Oliver Cromwell in To Till A King is amazing, it’s the kind of performance you’d expect would have been showered with awards but was almost completely ignored other than a BAFTA for the screenwriting . I wondered if Oliver Cromwell just wasn’t a popular historical figure as those sort of films usually get loads of attention. Roth is utterly convincing as it’s really in keeping with his somewhat sinister acting persona.
Gosh, Jason I think you went on the big house cleanup a bit early, I’m putting that off until July to give myself to look forward to. And hope you’re recovering well, that sounds serious ! About the only good thing about this pandemic is it’s given me time to catch up on all the TV shows I’ve been missing. I’ve only just watched Tin Star season 1 which is great, the only problem is all that amazing scenery leaves me wanting to visit Canada which doesn’t seem likely for a long time or at the very least get out into the countryside. My favourite Tim Roth performance is a really old one from one of my favourite directors – Robert Altman, Vincent & Theo almost seems conventional for a Robert Altman film but it’s no ordinary biopic and is full of Altman’s trademarks such as overlapping conversations and it’s brimming with emotions and ideas. Altman’s status as an art aficionado really comes across in giving you an appreciation for his subject but it’s Tim Roth’s amazing warts and all performance as Vincent Van Gogh that has really stuck with me, I was lucky to see it on a 35mm print and a Robert Altman retrospective just a couple of years ago
Bloody hell. A stroke on a mountain in the snow in Japan! That sounds like a plot to. a movie starring Liam Neeson, or perhaps Tim Roth given his role in the above Tin Star. Anyway glad you’re feeling better and are on the mend.
As for a Tim Roth favourite performance, it’s hard to go past Pumpkin in Pulp Fiction or Mr. Orange in Reservoir Dogs. There are other great ones too such as in Selma. I think I’m going with Mr. Orange. Reservoir Dogs had a fantastic cast and quite groundbreaking at the time. The dialogue is fantastic, the violence scary, the timeline back and forth. It’s brutal and brash, but a film worth watching especially for acting from the main 4.
