scottsdad Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I disagree. Jolie always had that quality where, at a moment's notice, she could go mental. Like Suranne Jones in doctor Foster, you wid but with extreme trepidation. I'd put her top. I, Tonya was much better than I expected and Allison Janney was superb. 8/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's much of a contest. I'd happily plug away at Alicia Vikander until the cows come home. She's the robot lassie from Ex Machina and (I'm sure I don't have to tell you this) she does a Gregory's Girl in that one (TBF, the lot). Don't recall many folk complaining at that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Jolie is clearly the correct answer. Jolie in her Tomb Raider days obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieKTID Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Lucky: Harry Dean Stanton stars as Lucky a 90 year old coming to terms with his own mortality, set in small town Arizona, beautifully shot with some great dialogue and a few laughs along the way, I really liked it 9/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Transfomers: The Last Knight. I've found something to enjoy in all the previous films. Yes the quality varies and they're all pretty shite, but watchable. This one is the first that I've actively disliked. Baddie Optimus is a good idea, dropped almost instantly. He's also in it for about 10 minutes. Unicron! except it's mentioned, then forgotten about until a tacked on bit at the end setting up a sequel that's unlikely to come. There's also an overly sexualised 14 year old lassie in it that makes for very uncomfortable viewing. Anthony Hopkins reads his lines like he's waiting for the cheque to clear and has no idea what is going on. Which is funny, because neither did I. It's like they cut half an hour of vital plot points and didn't bother filling in the gaps. Awful. 2/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I thought Anthony Hopkins was great in it tbh. The one bright spot in a fucking awful movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Black Swan (2010): After seeing this and a couple of his other films ('Requiem for a Dream' and 'mother!'), I feel that Darren Aronofsky is rather repetitive in his structure: the main character is introduced to something peculiar, s/he begins to slowly lose his/her mind before a bat-shit crazy final act. However, I do very much respect how much he manages to keep a handle on said final act. It all feels very deliberate, structured and, ultimately, very well directed. In the case of 'Black Swan', a lot of it feels very much like a ballet, not just because of the music, but the way that Natalie Portman glides across the set, the way that the lighting is bearing down on her face and it is frequently framed in a way that she is always the forefront and so much goes on in the background. There was a lot made of how much of 'mother!' had the camera clinging onto Jennifer Lawrence's face or over her shoulder, but it is very much the same here for Natalie Portman. I'm not sure how much of it is her in real-time or her face CG-ed onto a double, but if it's the former she does fantastically well in portraying her inner turmoil while performing arduous routines. I think it's weaved cleverly with its foreshadowing (mostly with the use of parallels with others) and symbolism, but that sadly comes to a head in a very on the nose way. Speaking of which, the ending does follow a similar path to 'mother!' in that it can get a bit too ridiculous, but I respect how Aronofsky ultimately manages to keep a handle on it, although 'Black Swan' makes more dramatic and thematic sense and is actually saying something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
++Ammo - Airdrie++ Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 The Greatest Showman (2017):Absolutely loved it, big Hugh Jackman delivering a light hearted musical performance as PT Barnam. A couple of cracking songs in there too.7.5/10 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
