In addition though it is one of the most hopeful scenes with one of my favorite individual shots in the series being Sam's sudden appearance to rescue Frodo.)<br /><br />The Crack Of Doom/Don't Let Go - (Again a testament to the relationship that this scene is so effectively moving, and it is a nice extra touch rather than Frodo just not getting up like in the book, though I do kind of prefer Gollum dancing to his demise.)<br /><br />The Grey Havens - (Heartwrenching in the right way and for me every ending beat does hit just as intended. It is one emotional release after another that feels absolutely earned and this is one of the most powerful so well found through the performances of each.)<br /><br />Anonymous:<br /><br />That bathtub scene truly is something, something terrible. Everything about it really is horrible, and feels so odd within the film itself. Fan service at its very worst.<br /><br />The confrontation scene actually isn't terrible and with a better performance in Luthor could have been genuinely menacing. I will say though part of it is problematic still with the swiftness that Superman goes to seemingly kill Luthor. <br /><br />Will do. <br /><br />Calvin:<br /><br />Kim - 4(Song gets the stronger arc to be sure as Kim for much of the film is the good hearted detective. Kim does well though to convey a genuine passion to find the killer yet there is just enough of almost an unintentional sense of superiority in his manner towards the other detective. He does have his switch though which he realizes well as a heat of the moment, and he absolutely delivers in bringing the power to the tunnel scene.)<br /><br />the other Song - 3(He's good in just bringing that sense of a greater maturity and offers the right calm with his performance that matches what his character needs to be.)<br /><br />the other Kim - 3(His performance works at being effectively simplistic for the most part in being basically just a blunt object that goes for the path of least resistance. He does go further in his later scenes though in portraying not really a guilt, yet a somberness over having been called out for his actions.)<br /><br />Such a modest yet chilling scene as the film so effectively set up the song's nature and what it is attached to. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />RIP George Romero, and Martin Landau.

It's everything ...I saw Spider-Man: Homecoming. It's everything I've ever wanted a Spider-Man movie to be. It feels like it's ripped straight from the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man, and fittingly, they included a "special thanks" to Brian Michael Bendis in the credits. I adored this movie. <br /><br />Holland-4.5(What else can I say other than he's the Spider-Man I've always wanted to see on the big screen. His performance actually reminded me a lot of Josh Keaton's portrayal in The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series, which is high praise indeed. Any way, yeah, absolutely perfect.) <br /><br />Keaton-4.5(I have to give him a great deal of credit here because I've always thought The Vulture was one of the lamer villains, and even here the writing is good, but kind of standard, although one element was done very well. Keaton though manages to make him very interesting and carries a considerable menace. He gives you just enough of a taste early on that this is a guy you don't want to mess with, which makes the big moment of his performance have the impact it needs. Said moment is almost unbearably intense due to Keatons' astounding performance in the scene.) <br /><br />Batalon-3.5(Could have been annoying, but I found him surprisingly endearing and pretty funny.) <br /><br />Downey-3.5(Classic Stark.) <br /><br />Zendaya-3(Not much to do, but she delivered her sarcastic comments well.) <br /><br />Tomei-3(Also doesn't have much to do, but she's always good and that's the case here. She's got a great chemistry with Holland and shows, in the brief time the film gives her, that she very much cares for him. Also, I have to give special mention to her absolutely hilarious final delivery.) <br /><br />Favreu-3(One note, but enjoyably so.) <br /><br />Harrier-3(Once again, not much to do, but she has good chemistry with Holland, which is really all that's required of her.) <br /><br />Starr-3 (Again, not much to do, but I thought most of his lines were pretty hilarious.) <br /><br />Marshall-Green-2.5(He's the standard thug, and he's OK at it, but it's been done better, even in this movie.) <br /><br />Woodbine-3(Also kind of a standard thug, but he brings something to it.) <br /><br />Revolori-3(He's amusing.) <br /><br />Glover-3(Always nice seeing him, and made the absolute most out of his part.) <br /><br />Burress-3(Even less to do than Starr, but I thought his line about Captain America being a war criminal was pretty damn funny.) <br /><br />Connelly-3.5(I actually kind of loved how much personality she brought to Karen/"Suit Lady".) <br /><br /><br /><br />And it hurts me to add this to this post, but R.I.P. George A. Romero and Martin Landau. <br /><br />Matt Mustinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03310037237651825936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-22951220736047165032017-07-16T22:03:27.732-04:002017-07-16T22:03:27.732-04:00Rest in Peace, Martin Landau Rest in Peace, Martin Landau ruthiehenshallfan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17883466887090605114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-20365138761381372202017-07-16T22:01:41.343-04:002017-07-16T22:01:41.343-04:00I think it's safe to say that Ed Sheeran is go...I think it's safe to say that Ed Sheeran is going to be this season's MVP.Michael McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683805466760495934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-43104051542714400352017-07-16T21:26:19.465-04:002017-07-16T21:26:19.465-04:00Louis: Could you save your thoughts on the GOT Pre...Louis: Could you save your thoughts on the GOT Premiere until tomorrow morning/afternoon, because I'd like to get around to it before you do so.Luke Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075392435078135757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-77558291256057135102017-07-16T21:04:28.752-04:002017-07-16T21:04:28.752-04:00RIP Martin LandauRIP Martin LandauBryan L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11734763991830926605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-15149181683165260062017-07-16T21:02:18.439-04:002017-07-16T21:02:18.439-04:00RIP George A.
