GLASSJAW Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) macbeth (2015): 8/10 difficult to rate this as the story itself is so mind-bogglingly brilliant -- as in literally one of the best pieces of drama ever told -- so i guess the only critique you can really apply is to the style or the interpretation and performances. the acting was, of course, wonderful as Fassbender is without a doubt, for my money, the best leading man out there right now. Marion Cotillard was great as well. but the movie loses points for its excess in style. i didn't care for some of the slow motion or still frame-type shots, and the excess in colour towards the end was a bit much, even if it was a welcome change from extremely dour lead up. also loses a point for cutting out one of the best scenes in all of literature ('double, double, toil and trouble') scotland sure does look pretty Edited March 1, 2016 by GLASSJAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen a single episode of Madmen, Sopranos, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Deadwood, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, or some other big ones I've stored in my memory bank. I think I should probably just grab a drink and get on board the Ian McShane Train to Painsville. Very rare for me to start a new tv series bla bla but I saw him in google images and it sort of sold me. (also I was curious about MacBender, good to know, and Scotland is one of my favourite places on Earth so yay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grohl was just terribly flat on the "Blaaaack" part of McCartney's Blackbird. It was painful and he did it in front of "900 million" people (so I guess 90 million people). And it was prerecorded which means the guy was actually satisfied with it ... sat there in rehearsals not knowing how badly he's singing such a famous tune. I now sort of think of him as the Adam Sandler of the music industry, he hams it up and doesn't care about the quality of his work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralus91 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Boyhood 9/10 Best coming of age film I have seen Dallas Buyers Club 8.5/10 McConaughey and Leto are absolutely fantastic in this. Story is fascinating. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 6.5/10 Lord of the Rings light version with a bunchload of (very good) CGI. Whiplash 8/10 Relationship between teacher and student might be exaggerated, but it makes for a pretty decent movie with a great performance by JK Simmons 12 Years a Slave 10/10 Touchy subject, brilliantly executed. No flaws in this movie. Ruthless in its execution of the topic. This is a film that has the potential to make a lasting cultural impact in my opinion.

Svengali Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Ended up checking out Deadwood, Ian McShane is truly amazing but Calamity Jane is almost unbearable. Also, just watched Foxcatcher and loved how using cocaine gave Channing Tatum frosted tips. And that was just about the only remarkable thing in this movie. Would have preferred a documentary on the subject. (The art of heartless filming). 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what I gave it, but probably in the 1-4 range. Some stories just don't translate well to film. This is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Watched the first episode of Mr. Robot, and holy hell, is it all this terrible? ..."Evil Corp."? Really? ...With the Enron E? Really?

It's pretty good though, I've always heard about the trial but never really knew what actually went on. Comes on f/x for those interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
