The Defeated by The Swamp, is just a great...94dk1:<br /><br />The Defeated by The Swamp, is just a great scene mainly for Ogagta, though Garfield's reaction of acceptance of his particular sort of cross carrying is also key. Ogata though is the focus and is great in realizing the way the inquisitor who speaks as though he is comforting the beaten priest though in his own way it is him gloating over yet another victory. <br /><br />Kichijiro's final confession though is an incredibly poignant scene from Garfield and Kubozuka's performances that suggest the two men who have found this strange connection of sort through their mutual experience, but the real power is again in Scorsese's tilt of the hand in the use of the voice of God that suggests Rodrigues has been given his own path.<br /><br />Luke:<br /><br />3/3.5 <br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Robertson - (Again like Goaz she's pretty limited, even more limited than he technically speaking, but that's the whole point. She delivers on that point and manages to make the complete ditz of her character actually work in her bizarre yet somehow endearing chemistry with Goaz. A personal favorite scene for me though is when Cooper tries to get involved in the situation, and the unbending nature of Robertson's performance is particularly hilarious against MacLachlan in that moment showing it to be one situation that Cooper can't quite wrap his head around.)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />As review no, but I'd be more than willing to do if asked. <br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Glad to hear it, though it sounds like the praise is closer to Steve Jobs than The Social Network.

Lieberher - (The most naturalistic performa...Luke:<br /><br />Lieberher - (The most naturalistic performance I've seen from him, which is particularly important given his character has a stutter which he pulls off quite effectively. Bill, I think if misplayed, could be a little bland yet Lieberher finds the right approach in realizing this sort of grief driven passion that defines the character. He portrays that right direct enthusiasm to find out the truth yet does so in this very vulnerable way that is rather affecting in how it alludes to that loss that is almost always on his mind.)<br /><br />Taylor - (He's quite good in realizing sort of a shyness within even the main group showing how he is really the new kid. I love his few little moments with Lillis as they make them lightly humorous yet so genuinely sweet at the same time. Taylor finds the right partially disconnected chemistry in portraying sort of the correct type of random eagerness of showing him trying to jump in to the group, though perhaps not always at the right time.)<br /><br />Lillis - (She's altogether great in the role and I think importantly as well shows so well the exact way Beverly works within the group. As it is not the same exact type of friendship as it is with the rest of them for obvious reasons. She's terrific in her individual moments in portraying the intensity of her particular distress apart from the losers. Then she makes it particularly heartwarming in her scenes of genuine connection, sometimes technically with a more straight forward friendship or in creating those differing types of chemistry with Lieberher and Taylor.) <br /><br />Wolfhard - 3.5(Hmmm I'd say if everything he said was suppose to be hilarious this is not a total success however that's not the point, I do believe. Wolfhard instead does successfully capture instead that sort of energy of the kid who constantly is trying to be funny no matter what, no matter how problematic it is, and with only some minor success. He's given less emotional material to work with but he does very well in making a natural depiction of this type of kid.)<br /><br />Oleff - 3.5(He gets by far the least to do, but I think this plays into the achievement by all of the actors together. At the very least like the rest of them he's great at making the fear of Pennywise absolutely real, making the camaraderie, humor, and conflict between the group absolutely natural.)<br /><br />Jacobs - 3.5(Also gets less to do, as he even sort of comes in late so he gets less moments with the group. He however absolutely knocks his major scene out of the park, really delivering in bringing the sheer emotional devastation of the story he must tell.)<br /><br />Hamilton - 3(Obviously the purpose of Henry Bowers is pretty blunt. There is just a touch of nuance, not much, but Hamilton finds that at least. He's really there just to be a pure evil sociopath though and he delivers on that.)<br /><br />Scott - 3(Appropriately heartbreaking in just being a curious child in his tragic opening scene then is rather chilling in his eerie portrayal of the false Georgie.)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-68885288182580117342017-09-08T19:43:26.604-04:002017-09-08T19:43:26.604-04:00Louis: Your casting for It: Chapter Two.Louis: Your casting for It: Chapter Two.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-89709489941773455292017-09-08T19:40:02.731-04:002017-09-08T19:40:02.731-04:00I must say, Supporting's turning out to be rea...I must say, Supporting's turning out to be really great this year.<br /><br />13 performances saved so far and should all get a 4.5 or higher.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-26761139192367107702017-09-08T19:29:02.627-04:002017-09-08T19:29:02.627-04:00Michael McCarthy: Your thoughts on Jennings.

Foy: A terrific performance that perfectly...Luke: <br /><br />Foy: A terrific performance that perfectly encapsulates the statement made by the series about the monarchy. It's almost entirely internalized, as it must be, in a way that captures the constant inner turmoil of a woman who is prohibited from being an individual in any regard. She finds the perfect balance between reverence for her family and the monarchy and her hidden desires of progressively.)<br /><br />Smith: (This took me a while to warm up to as I wasn't sure for a while how I was meant to feel about the character. Once I got a proper sense of his role however I thought it was a very strong performance that realized Philip as a royal douchebag in a proper fashion, but still allowed him to go deeper than that in finding the emasculated man hidden underneath.)<br /><br />Lithgow: (Another one that took me a while to warm up to, as it took me a while to get used to his mannerisms. Fortunately, they ended up being more of a vessel for his characterization than the characterization itself. Lithgow obviously has the most awards-friendly character in the series, but he makes the most of every juicy moment he has. He delivers Churchill's jabs with incredible force and wit, but he also does very well to reveal the side of Churchill that acknowledges his own self-absorption.)<br /><br />Harris: (It really took me until watching this series to realize the faults in Firth's portrayal of the character, in that Harris succeeds in all of the ways that Firth fails. He brings a genuine emotion to the part, which is crucial as his George is a dying man, but he makes it the underlying emotion of someone who was born and raised to be a royal. In addition, the few times he does the stutter are made wholly natural by Harris.)<br /><br />And I know you didn't ask, but my MVP for the show is actually Alex Jennings.<br /><br />In regards to The Current War, knowing who's directing it my hopes are pretty much at zero.<br /><br />And I saw IT today. Really really liked it, and didn't mind the pacing. If I have a nitpick, honestly...the production value is too "good." The sets, cinematography and score are all so tailor-made for a great horror film that it ends up telegraphing a lot of the scares well in advance.Michael McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683805466760495934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-41017905454578324922017-09-08T19:01:19.799-04:002017-09-08T19:01:19.799-04:00My MVP is Lillis.My MVP is Lillis.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-51920878452206073742017-09-08T18:59:37.103-04:002017-09-08T18:59:37.103-04:00I still need to think about Skarsgärd as Pennywise...I still need to think about Skarsgärd as Pennywise.
