This being a rather successful sort continuation within his styling of the swashbuckler themes he developed within the original film. This being sort of the most overtly heroic rendition within that styling. That with the almost toy sounding sides, built around the grandiose orchestrations here. This doing it well as this properly old school climatic piece.) <br /><br />Marry Me - (Same goes here, though in more traditional Zimmer I'd say and less Pirates oriented, though a fine romantic theme. Definitely within his repertoire in hitting familiar beats, although hitting them well to be sure.)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-89488209534761329952020-08-21T09:25:06.704-04:002020-08-21T09:25:06.704-04:00Louis: your thoughts on the Hans Zimmer themes &qu...Louis: your thoughts on the Hans Zimmer themes "Marry Me" and "Up is Down"?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213159754200778138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-72484676681054944632020-08-21T07:05:53.471-04:002020-08-21T07:05:53.471-04:00Alex: I think Louis mentioned in Rock Hudson and J...Alex: I think Louis mentioned in Rock Hudson and John Randolph's review for Seconds that he hasn't seen Boardwalk Empire yet.Tahmeed Chowdhuryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946081425647648210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-31353122504856314472020-08-21T06:11:36.073-04:002020-08-21T06:11:36.073-04:00Louis: where did you leave your thoughts on Boardw...Louis: where did you leave your thoughts on Boardwalk Empire's cast?Álex Marquéshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05821212990738471676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-82615179072046975582020-08-21T03:29:33.086-04:002020-08-21T03:29:33.086-04:00Aidan further thoughts on Basinger?Aidan further thoughts on Basinger?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213159754200778138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-31753243663221756172020-08-20T22:55:03.264-04:002020-08-20T22:55:03.264-04:00Anonymous:

It offers a capably acted and semi-interesting depiction of its subject, but for myself, was still a few notches below a good film. The movie’s biggest problem was that it too often deviated from Jane Seberg’s perspective, and I feel there was a way to avoid that without undermining the rest of the cast. The non distinct, “copy and paste” scenes of the script also don’t help, nor does the film’s choice of omitting English subtitles whenever Seberg speaks french, which was a weird choice in retrospect.<br /><br />All that being said, Kristen Stewart is very effective in the titular role, and I might even say it’s my favourite performance of hers. It also raises my hopes for her upcoming biopic, even though I’m still not sold on her being Princess Diana.

Manville - (It is interesting how Manville ...Luke:<br /><br />Manville - (It is interesting how Manville seems entirely different here than when she's wearing finery. Excelling though within a working class role just as she does with a patrician. Manville here creating that just similar sense of desperation as Spall's though in her delivery a more active quality of lashing out against the problems that create that depression. Like Spall she is particularly effective in realizing the transition of the character at the very end, that feels in an authentic moving way, not a rushed change in the character.)<br /><br />Sheen - (Her performance is kind of why I am so quick to support a Leigh and can have far less patience for a Ken Loach, at times. This is as her performance offers a degree of optimism even within hardship that removes the sort of patronizing solely downtrodden quality sometimes seen in the work of other filmmakers. Her performance is wonderful in giving a sense of the reality still, but within a person who does the right thing and will attempt to look at the right side. She finds a natural grace in her part that creates a real sense of honesty within her character's brighter outlook.)<br /><br />Corden - 3(As much as I'll freely admit to my mean spiritedness above came from being slightly grumpy, it may have been cemented by thinking about that Oscar bit, where he and Wilson decried the effects of Cats. Thinking about more, the effects team did what they could given Hooper's terrible vision and the absurdly rushed schedule, furthermore both of their performances would have been dreadful no matter what they looked like. Digressions aside, Corden is more than fine here in just portraying basically a ball of anger over nothing, and just a sense of nothing within his plate at all times.)<br /><br />Bailey - 3(For me might've gone just a little too far in portraying the complete train-wreck that is her character. Still effective to a degree, but I don't know felt a little much.)<br /><br />Hawkins - 3(Certainly a fine debut from her, not a major role but she brings an honest quality within her work, particularly the heart attack scene.)Louis Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933180959140340196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-20726582321323656502020-08-20T08:25:30.895-04:002020-08-20T08:25:30.895-04:001.
