Benichou effectively portrays a man who has been through a wringer in life and he portrays so well a man just controlled by this intense bitterness and despair. When that moment happens it is brutal partially because Benichou's performance suggested it almost as though only place for the man to go.)<br /><br />3.5 for all of them, and I'd say unlikely.

As someone...Finally caught "Logan Lucky". As someone who wasn't over the moon about the Oceans trilogy, i'm not over the moon of this movie. Still, I found it to be a more than decent heist thriller; reasonably fun and endearing to its setting.<br /><br />Tatum - 3.5 (Tatum has really proven himself more confident and more likable with his recent performances, and this is more of the same. I bought the accent, the father-daughter bond and his balance of comedy and emotion.)<br /><br />Driver - 3.5 (Goes for straight comedy here but his deadpan delivery is a nice counterpoint to his co-stars. Definitely inspired by Tim Blake Nelson.)<br /><br />Craig - 4 (Clear MVP. Accent is a tad wonky towards the end but Craig is absolutely spirited and enthusiastic in his performance here. Its a really different role for him and he is hysterical in every scene.)<br /><br />Keough/Waterson/Holmes - 3 (All fine, nothing of note though)<br /><br />MacFarlane - 3 (Honestly didn't annoy me as much as I thought. Far from the worst actor they could have chosen for the part.)<br /><br />Swank - 2 (Yah she just doesn't work here. Tries to hard to be that tough, scowling type and it comes off as laughable. Wasted opportunity not just because of the limited screen time but also because her performance sticks out like a sore thumb.)Mitchell Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06054562644509043086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-68237019763345425862017-08-22T21:37:29.929-04:002017-08-22T21:37:29.929-04:00So with Venice beginning in just a short week, for...So with Venice beginning in just a short week, for shits and giggles, what are your predictions?<br /><br />Here's the jury:<br /><br />Annette Bening, American actress (President of Jury)<br />Ildikó Enyedi, Hungarian film director and screenwriter<br />Michel Franco, Mexican film director, producer and screenwriter<br />Rebecca Hall, English actress<br />Anna Mouglalis, French actress<br />David Stratton, Anglo-Australian film critic<br />Jasmine Trinca, Italian actress<br />Edgar Wright, English film director and screenwriter<br />Yonfan, Taiwanese-Hong Kong film director, producer and screenwriter<br /><br />Here are the films in competition:<br /><br />Ammore e malavita (Antonio Manetti, Marco Manetti)<br />Angels Wear White (Vivian Qu)<br />Custody (Xavier Legrand)<br />Downsizing (Alexander Payne)<br />Ex Libris – The New York Public Library (Frederick Wiseman)<br />Una Famiglia (Sebastiano Riso)<br />First Reformed (Paul Schrader)<br />Foxtrot (Samuel Maoz)<br />Hannah (Andrea Pallaoro)<br />The House by the Sea (Robert Guédiguian)<br />Human Flow (Ai Weiwei)<br />The Insult (Ziad Doueiri)<br />Lean on Pete (Andrew Haigh)<br />The Leisure Seeker (Paolo Virzì)<br />Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno (Abdellatif Kechiche)<br />mother!

It tries so hard to make this very dramatic moment yet fails miserably because of how little you've become invested in Superman's story, since he's been such a sourpuss the whole time. The relationship with Lois is not there, nor is the idea of Superman finally being Superman since it never made sense why he hated saving people so much. Not to mention it comes from stopping such a ridiculous villain, then its diminished even further by its instant retcon at the end of the film.<br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Shigeta - 3(It's a good performance as he at least makes Takagi feel like a real person in just a matter of a few minutes. It's a good performance as he manages to be at least a minor cut above just being cannon fodder to show that Hans Gruber means business, he humanizes his victim fairly well.)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />Phone call performance only played by Mark Hamill.<br /><br />Seriously though it is a pointless endeavor twice over. First being that Ledger really can't be topped, and second being that everything around Leto's Joker in terms of conception is as bad as his performance is. Besides Batman has such a good rogues gallery there is no reason to go back to the Joker again at this point, I'm still waiting for Toby Jones as the penguin.
