Downloaded and watched the movie "Citizen Kane" as I had never seen it and I'd heard so much about it being the "best film ever made".

 

Well I watched it and couldn't see anything in it which would relate to the "best film" accolade, and in fact what I did see was the poor prosthetics around Orson Welles face which was meant to portray him growing older, and his use of built-up shoes to give him more height in some scenes, both of which were fairly obvious.

 

The story was okay as was the acting, and it wasn't until I researched the movie after I had watched it that I realised the "best movie" accolade was bestowed upon it because of the filming techniques used, many for the first time ever, and pioneered by Orson Welles.

 

Pleased that I watched it, but now that my curiosity has been satisfied, no need to consider it again.

Yeah.. bearing in mind indi cinema didnt really exist then  pretty amazing  that he even got it made given that he went against the hollywood studios vice like grip on everything 'cinema'   in that  he wrote directed  produced AND starred in it.

I watched Bohemian Rhapsody last night, and although it didn't get a brilliant write-up by critics, it did win an Oscar and I thought it was a very good film.

 

What made it very enjoyable for me was the fact that Rami Malek was able to portray Freddie Mercury with all of the complicated aspects that went to make up the man – – from a shy and lonely young man, through to someone finding his way, and eventually producing a storming on stage persona which defied all that he actually was.

 

A lot of this was in the nuances which Malek brought to the role and I thought he was excellent in it.

 

I do remember seeing Freddie Mercury in an interview with Parkinson (I think it was) and I could not believe what I was seeing, because I had only heard the powerful singing of this guy, yet when he minced down the stairs towards Parkinson and sat down, he was so effeminate as to be almost sickening, almost like he was playing up for effect (which he may well have been).

 

Anyway, I can thoroughly recommend the film.

The current season of "Gotham" seems to be the best by far!

Dark, brutal, well acted- this thing has come a long way, since it's beginnings!

 

Also: Holmes & Watson gets such bad reviews, I might actually wanna watch that!

I also watched Mortal Engines last night and for a bit of mindless entertainment, it was okay, and drew on elements of other movies such as, Wild Wild West, Terminator, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Avatar to name but a few.

 

I also watched Polar the other evening and found it to be okay, if a little Tarantino-esque.

 

Dug up a few from the archives to watch and a particular favourite is, Law Abiding Citizen, which led me onto watching Gerard Butler's latest, Hunter Killer, which was okay with a few nailbiting underwater scenes.

 

Also decided to watch Lawless again as I thought that Tom Hardy was excellent in that.

 

Looking for a few more to watch, as not going out much at the moment due to a plethora of tablets I'm taking to try and get rid of this bloody skin rash/dermatitis/whatever, as they make me so tired in the evenings, sitting down watching a movie is the most I can muster!

My favourite Tom Hardy appearance of late was Taboo. Be happy to see S2 of that.

Quite enjoyed Dogs of Berlin (German with English subs), Frozen Dead also enjoyable (French with English subs) will take a look at Polar. Currently got 12 Monkeys (S3), IO and Deadwind queued and decided to give Sex Education a run. Actually not bad, quite funny and not overly crude, Timeless isn't bad also, kinda like an updated version of The Time Tunnel, well shot and pretty good acting. Can't help thinking why the bloody great time capsule they pilot back and forth never gets discovered though, especially when they pilot it to Nazi Germany in WWII and park it near to a V2 rocket site! Still, can't have their ride getting bagged 5555
