Movie/film suggestions.
While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies 
).
I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:
The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

I thought that the movie Everest was intense and the recreation it attempted of an ill fated Mount Everest Expedition came off as realistic to me. It featured a strong cast: Jake Glyllenthaal, Jason Clarke, Josh Brolin, John Hawkes, Sam Worthington. Binge watching The Office turned me into a Steve Carell fan. I particularly enjoyed his role portraying John Du Pont in Foxcatcher where he played the eccentric heir to the Du Pont empire who became increasingly divorced from reality and unhinged. I felt that Tatum Channing and Mark Ruffalo had good chemistry in their portrayal (which came off as realistic to me) of the Olympic wrestlers Mark and David Schultz. I just did a google to see who played David Schultz’s wife (it was Sienna Miller) and evidently (unbeknownst to me when I watched it) the real Mark Schultz (the surviving brother) had a small part as a weigh in official. (Vanessa Redgrave played the role of John Du Point’s aging mother.) I could watch either of these movies more than once. On the lighter side, and speaking of good chemistry, I loved and found hilarious what Tatum Channing and Jonah Hill did in 21 Jump Street. I never once watched the original series, but evidently that is why Johnny Depp had a role in the movie, and I loved the part in the movie that they stole (if that’s the right word) from a scene with Johnny Depp in another movie he starred in, Donnie Brasco.

I think that the reason that I am usually not crazy about him is due to the roles that he usually seems to be cast in. |
