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 wink).

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?

+2, and thanks

He can play the scumbag and the nice guy in one person like very few. 

I agree with you that he completely nailed that in Crash, @gano .  He always comes off to me as real--often as someone who I think it would be fun to know.  Or maybe it is that he comes off as someone who I think would be fun to know in real life because of the way he comes off in movies.  It’s the little things and scenes he does, things and scenes that can go almost unnoticed that are part of why I appreciate him to the extent I do.  For example, after the intense interaction/confrontation at the beginning of shift he had with his ex-rookie partner after they were split up, the jovial interaction that immediately followed with his new Hispanic partner he was going to be riding with that day.  He is a master at delivering his lines.

As a matter of fact, although I thought that some of the vignettes or sub-stories were stronger than others, I felt that the whole cast did a fine job. 

William Fichtner is another actor  who I have really come to appreciate after watching him over the years, and although his role wasn’t really that big, I thought that he also was one who nailed it when interacting with Don Cheadle.  I am also generally a fan of Sandra Bullock.  

The film was fraught with irony.   

yes what I like about him is his range, that you wouldn't assume from his smug charm, from Something About Mary to Singles. Fitchner is cool, The Company You Keep was a great show. I suspected they wouldn't renew it, it was too good!

Watched "Transsiberian" yesterday. I was very impressed. Had some plot twists that were kind of unexpected. Emily Mortimer was excellent and Ben Kingsley usually is.
