Shadow of the Bat - (In terms of the s...Anonymous:<br /><br />Shadow of the Bat - (In terms of the set up it is quite intriguing to get into the idea of corruption. It doesn't quite go to anywhere all that special with that though since it is mostly forgotten to introduce Batgirl. It's not a bad episode, but even with that introduction there isn't anything that stands out about it other than the setup which a feels a little wasted by the ending.)<br /><br />Heart of Steel - (The two parter is not an overly memorable pair. The villain is very derivative and there is nothing about the action or set pieces that are all that compelling. There is something to be had in the depiction of Barbara Gordon, but I'm holding onto that mostly since the rest of the episode is rather disposable.)<br /><br />I am the Night - (This episode is not particularly good. The villain of the jazzman seems like an afterthought, and not a very good after thought. There's a reason he never appeared again. The whole depiction of Batman's guilt though comes off as a bit silly since he's so overt about it. A similair idea was much better handled in "Two-Face". The idea behind the episode is a good one but the execution is very weak.)<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />I watched the episodes of Wolf Hall in fairly quick succession of three episodes bursts, so they aren't quite so distinct in my mind. <br /><br />Detroit - (An amazing looking trailer in terms of capturing the atmosphere and intensity of such a situation which really is to be expected from Bigelow at this point. I will say, this isn't an an actual negative, my brain rejects the concept of Will Poulter in an adult role though both he and John Boyega look promising from the trailer.)<br /><br />American Assassin - (Didn't really like the editing style of the trailer itself, and it struggled a bit in terms of what type of spy movie it's going to be. It seemed to waver between different realities within the trailer, hopefully its tone is more exact in the movie itself. I pretty much always like Keaton, not sure about O'Brien in the lead yet though. The trailer gave me The Accountant vibes, hopefully it will turn out better than that film did.)<br /><br />Murphy - 3.5<br />Gunton - 4<br />Crystal - 3.5<br /><br />Last of the Mohicans is never great piece work by Edelman. I ponder if James Horner got a little inspiration from the music for Braveheart. Edelman's music captures that similair style in that it has the greatness, the splendor if you will of a proper score for a film epic. It however has that pseudo-traditionalist styling in that gives an unmistakable life that also makes it so fitting to the story.Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-43887466351487223712017-04-18T18:48:00.340-04:002017-04-18T18:48:00.340-04:00Giuseppe:

She's playing Hedda Hopper in the mode not far off from Helen Mirren's take quite honestly, though with just a bit more humanity. She's somewhat entertaining in those bigger moments, but for me her best moments are when she gets to show a slightly different side to her such as when she's talking about her heart condition. She's really used mainly to be a caricature, but Davis does manage to transcend that just a bit.)<br /><br />Hoffman - (She's purposefully very restricted in her performance in that character itself is suppose to be somewhat ridiculous to begin with. I actually do like Hoffman's performance though as she does the deadpan comedy quite well even if what she's working with isn't always great. Hoffman though does go just a tad further and she has strong moments in the margins where she suggests that her character really does care for Crawford's mental health.)<br /><br />Wright - (Her subplot she got I do feel didn't quite work since it felt thrown in, and indeed it had no connection to reality. Wright though is pretty good in her part though in bringing properly not mannered performance that works well as a straight forward contrast presenting a character with just a less ludicrous mindset.)<br /><br />Omar:<br /><br />Ashcroft - (Kind of an Oscar winning may stay of the wise older woman though I've never felt that she stole the film as the reception of some suggests. She's brings sort of the right warmth and sense of history in her words. In addition she's more bluntly effective in her freak out scene without going over the top. It's a good performance though I don't feel that it stands out too much.)<br /><br />Davis - (Davis's performance is a little curious in the way her character loses all perspective after the attack making it so we are never given a proper sense of what she's even going through. She's good though in her early scenes in just offering a quietly charming presence then later is quite good in depicting the immediate trauma of the event. Again though she's never given the chance to really explore what her character is going through even though she continues to appear in the film.)<br /><br />Phoenix's performance is one I feel I need to re-watch to give a proper evaluation to.

Randy Edelman must be the most underrated film composer of all time, mostly because his work tends to be in films where the score is the strongest aspect. His score here is such beautiful work fitting a truly grand fantastic epic, frankly better Drangonheart. The score is grandeur itself with its sweeping style through its blend of strings, and horns but with just the right touch of woodwinds to create such a masterful combination.
