throw an eye on this FOX baby: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnW09t6wTZ0
I watch this whenever it comes on. BHD also never fails as a standby when I can't find anything else I feel like watching.
I might be a little blinded by it's presentation but Kaiba is creatively told sci-fi story with an unique visual flair and a good soundtrack. The direction should have been even more playful though (just like the first episode) and the finale wasn't the show's highlight but it's still good to see shows like this being made despite not being destinied to become popular.
Great movie. Gyllenhaal's portrayal of a sleazy news vulture is simply amazing. His disregard for the suffering of his "subjects" is acted out so real, you really dislike the guy and of course what he does for a living (although that should go without saying).
A truly vivid portrayal of a real-world psychopath.
I actually surprisingly enough really enjoyed this. I'm kind of conflicted with Captain America. On the one hand, I think he's a dreadfully boring character, but for some reason I really liked both of his movies and they're probably two of the best Marvel films. Oh well~
Speechless.
I love how Marvel is connecting all their recent films and TV shows
Well that was nice, RDJ, NICE.
After a long time, finally we can see the great Robert Downey Jr. do something different than the superhero Iron Man, or even the very intelligent but insane Sherlock Holmes. Nothing against, as the success of these two blockbusters owes much to his talent and what he gives to his characters. In The Judge we can see him doing a deeper and more serious role, never losing his ironic side and that funny that always makes us laugh whenever it is necessary. Here plays a character that can be perfectly adapted to real life and I confess that I've been missing to see him again in a different register.
The Judge is divided between the courtrooms and the family drama of a family marked by problems from the past that are still unresolved. Attorney Hank Palmer (Robert Downey Jr.) is forced to return to his hometwon in Indiana, 20 years later, for the funeral of his mother. Hank always had problems with his father (Robert Duvall), a very well respected judge in the city, and during his short stay his father is considered the main suspect of an homicide. Hank is forced to help his father to find out the truth and eventually re-connects with his brothers and even with some old acquaintances of the small town.
The film is not simply a story about courts, laws or criminal justice, but a family drama where the characters are going to rediscover themselves, learn how to forgive and respect each other. The emotional side of the story is more important than everything else, and despite the numerous clichés that the film may have, they result in a perfect way to what the film is supposed to give us and it never disappoints.
It is certainly a film of great performances! The chemistry between Downey Jr. and Duvall is really great and all their scenes together are very intense. The entire supporting cast does a very good work, but is mostly Downey Jr. and Duvall what make The Judge to be not just a drama of conflict between father and son, but a real portrait of many families, sincere and honest that has a slightly different ending than we are expecting.
One man and his car. The man's name is Ivan Locke and his life is going to change completely during an hour and a half trip in his car while he talks on the phone via bluetooth with several people. Soon we discover the destiny of the road trip and throughout the film we understand and follow this man's issues.
Tom Hardy is an actor of excellence so even before I saw the film I already knew that he would give all of him as he always does. This film is not quite a monologue but is close to it since the only character we see is Hardy's. He always shows the right emotions no matter the difficulty of the role, and this was hard work. He has the capacity of keeping us interested and using the right tension and despair he is able to carry the film. We really feel connected with Ivan Locke. This guy needs more praise than he gets, so underrated and so great!
This film is definitely good but we do not see what it sells. For me it was a solid drama and not an exciting thriller. We watch a man trying to do the right thing. Against what is heart wants in his head he believes that he needs to assume a mistake not to be haunted by ghosts of the past that lead to the less happy memories of his childhood and adolescence. Another thing that bothered me in the story was the writer's (which is also the director of this film, Steve Knight) insistence on what I am going to call the "concrete talk". I understand that he wanted to prove that Ivan Locke is very passionate about his work but I felt that I do not needed so much of that.
The best thing about it (Tom Hardy's performance apart) is the fact that besides caring about the main and only character we see on screen it made me also cared about all of the other characters and we never see them! We feel their emotions and that was really cool.
Locke is definitely a different film with an interesting cinematography and editing. Doing a film only set in a car on a highway is not an easy thing to do and not even because of that we feel less power but the misleading plot might be your major disappointment.
Basically the best movie the MCU has so far.
Seeing Rick in his sheriffs uniform again gave me chills!
I will miss this show. It was really good. Maybe it will be another season.... I hope.
That was such a good, well-written ending. Fingers crossed for S2.
Finn goes crazy, now the beauty, but also the darkness of this show is, that Clarke gets there too late, Finn already killed some of the Grounders. I really like how it isn't the typical Hollywood story, where the good guy never does anything bad, but in this series, there is no go or bad.
S'all good man... how did I not catch this until now?!
This was simply brilliant! Hawkeye got way better. Scarlet, Vision and Quicksilver were beautiful! And the whole thing is just what my geeky heart craved for!
Love how the story goes smooth in this episode, and plays with your emotion. One of my favorite episode in season 3.
Unexpectedly best episode from the whole series.
Definitely the creepiest episode so far. The scene with Norman and the therapist sent shivers down my spine.
Dang it! I kinda liked Mark. But am I the only one that saw the whole sibling thing coming? Seemed kind of obvious. I love Donnie and Allison's new relationship.
Wow I had too many emotions in this episode. That ALMOST kiss, and I stress almost.... Frick that was such a hot scene between Normero! And Dylemma are just so cute I can't even. Like there's so much sexual tension between them and they have to get together before the season ends. Plus everybody has to stop saying that Dylan or Emma or Romero are going to die, like no they're too important and completely loved by all
The cinematography & lighting in the last scene is exquisite.
holy.......................... this was me for 60 minutes: "wtf? WTF!"
OMG,yes.
Ruby Rose has to be one of the prettiest human beings ever.
I don't like this version of Piper either.
WTF is she doing???
LEAVE SOPHIA ALONE!!
LEAVE SOSO IN PEACE!!
EVERYTHING IS SO WRONG!!!
