Last Film You Saw

Kurzel’s version is available to see on All4 at the moment. Am planning to give it a go.

Quite liked Polanski’s adaptation.

Am also intrigued by Welles’s Macbeth. It’s on YouTube but I need subtitles as I am a bit deaf so may have to try getting it on dvd or something. His version of Othello is first rate.

Finished watching the Coen today. Still reckon Denzel wasn’t quite up to snuff but was still impressed on the whole.

I am left with a question: watching Shakespeare plays inevitably - for me at least - entails getting a bit overwhelmed by all the lyricism, so much so that I can’t process adequately what’s being said in real time, and so I often end up rewinding scenes in order to take more in. Not sure whether this is the best approach or whether you should just let everything wash over you to avoid stopping and starting.

Just wondering how others deal with this issue.

I agree with you on taking in the heavy dialogue! I find myself having to 'acclimatise' if I've not watched any Shakespeare for a long time! I haven't tried rewinding as I used to think it was 'cheating' as if I'm supposed to remember every line of conversation from years ago!

No idea why, but that is something I will do from now on!
 
Hunter in the blue side of Manchester, an Indonesian film on Netflix based on journalist working for city. Not a great film but as it has city in it had to watch. 2/10

Pretty good actually, watched it with my Grandson, he lost interest half way through, but he is only 4. I carried on watching, Blunt played an excellent Mary :) Well made and well acted but bit too much CGI for me.
6/10
 
The unforgivable With Sandra Bullock, Viola Davis, Vincent D'Onofrio, Jon Bernthal. A woman is released from prison after serving a sentence for a violent crime and re-enters a society that refuses to forgive her past.
A good film with a twist. A good watch and is recommended

7.5/10

I quite enjoyed it. Definitely not as bad as its reputation suggest. Loved the way they used flashbacks in the movie, franing the characters, it did a very good job of giving each character a perspective and Richard Madden wras a fine villain. The final battle was really good especially the speedster scenes. Kingo had some very funny scenes
