I am one of the biggest fans of The Scottish Play eversince childhood. I must have watched every version, every movie and tv adaptation of it; I even made a list dedicated to those adaptations here on primewire. But this small budget movie with minimal sets remains to be the best version of the Shakespeares masterpiece imho. It is gothic, expressionistic and even dreamlike atmosphere is unmatched by any other. And Welles is the perfect Macbeth. Neither classical masters like Sir Ian McKellen or Sir Patrick Stweart, nor immensely talented young actors like Michael Fassbender come even close. Welles was born to play this part. It might be controversial opinion but I believe this is his best movie both as an actor and as a director, not Citizen Kane, not A Touch of Evil, not the Third Man… For me, this is the true masterpiece of Orson Welles.

It was a fun yet forgetable movie to watch. But nowadays every movie must either a genre-defining masterpiece or absolute trash. :/
From the premise, I expected an enjoyable yet formulaic movie. But I was pleseanty surprised that it is so much more. The script and acting really elevates this movie to a much more nuanced and smart storytelling. This movie does not make the obvious easier choices; but always goes for the more realistic option.
The level of writing dropped significantly these last two seasons. I am literally forcing myself to keep watching. Such a shame. :(
This small indie movie has more imagination and creativity than those hundreds of hollywood movies the studios push out everyday.
Controversial opinion: this show was better than all the Dragonball Z shows that followed.
It is 4 hours long, and it feels much much longer. It is slow af; and I am not kidding, literally half of this 4 hour movie is in super-slow motion. But the good news is, if you manage to stay awake for the first 3.5 hours, it picks up the pace a little for the last 30 minutes or so. Overall, boring af.
At this point, I am only watching this show because I am a completionist.
Wanna see Sir Laurence Olivier being deliciously evil for more than two and a half hours? Well, this is your lucky day!
It is very hard to make a DC animation boring; but somehow they still managed to do it. :/
Please read the big print above:
Use the “report link” button to report issues with the links so the content mod on duty can address the issue properly.
I already did. I just let other viewers know so that they dont have to check every link as I did.
Every one of the links above are for the episode Various Forms of Transportation.
Reminded me Xena The Warrior Princess tv series, and The Savage Sword of Conan comic books in the best possible way. The style of fantasy is neither high fantasy Tolkien style,nor grimdark low magic depressive GRRM style; and I appreciated it. It is down and dirty, dark when it needs to be, but also fun and has a sense of humour about it. Not everything hs to be epic after all. There is an over-arching story, but honestly, the stand-alone adventures are much more enjoyable.
Very interesting neo-noir. It gets really dark towards the third act. Solid performance by Adam Brody.
I cant see jetload, clipwatching and vidlox links, but other than those all the other links are the previous episode Superhero Feud. This had become a common situation in Teen Titans Go page. And it is really frustrating.
Edit: I just used a VPN to be able to look at the remaining vidlox, clipwatching and jetload links and low and behold they are all Superhero Feud episode as well. I came to the conclusion that whoever is uploading these wrong episodes in every links of every episode of Teen Titans Go must be really hating this animation, and wants anyone who tries to watch it rage uit.
Hearing how amazing this tv shows from everyone, I had very high expectiations. But it even exceeded that. I am in awe of Anya Taylor-Joy. Her acting is a force to be reckoned with.
This script clearly needed some serious rewrites. Pine, Wiig and Pascal give phenomenal performances with the little character developement given to them, which makes Gal Gadots wooden acting even more obvious. Overall, a pretty weak follow-up the great first movie.
Possibly one of the best and most original werewolf movies. It has a unique dreamlike quality to it. A chilling fairy tale with a folk horror twist.
That is a really solid film noir. It exceeded all my expectations. Brosnahan gives performance of a lifetime.
It is a brilliant movie; but it is also seriously soul crushing. And I mean really really soul crushing, depressive, dark, miserable, sufficating, psychological torture movie. Acting is brilliant; the script is one of the most creative I have watched in a long while. And it is a deceptive movie: starts very light and happy, slowly sucks you in with its very original high sci-fi concept, plays with your expectations as a viewer. By the time you realize how dark it turns it is too late. If you can not handle watching Funny Games by Michael Haneke, dont watch this movie.
Fun fact: this movie is loosely based on Henry Hill(of Goodfellas)s life after he joined the witness protection and got relocated to smalltown America.
I think this was the best season of Fargo yet; but unfortunately I am afraid it did not create much buzz; which makes me afraid about the future of this phenomenal TV series.
Very good movie; but not good enough to risk your life over just to watch on bigscreen.
I was supposed to watch Tenet, but I binged the whole first season of Nora instead. Totally worthed.
Why the hell everything has to be about Burnham and her emotional journey? Why does every episode have to be a prolonged therapy session for Burnham, even a sensitive diplomatic mission must turn into one? I cant take it anymore. I am a completionist by nature but I am really struggling to finish this season.
Discovery is not a bad show; but it is not Star Trek. Do you wanna know how I know? I just realized we are in the third season and I still dont know almost any of the bridge crews names. Any character other than Michael, Saru, Tilly and Stamets might as well be extras; they are a little more than window dressing. A ST show lives and dies by the uality of its crew. Viewers fall in love with the vastly different and well written characters, their overall dynamic, little moments between them, and the feeling of family. Just think of TNG, DS9, or even ST:Enterprise… Such a great difference from Discovery. Discovery on the other hand is the story of Michael Burnham, anyone else is just supporting characters that are as important to the story as their relative distance to Michael. Her universe hopping pseudo-mom, her foster brother, her Vulcan dad, her Klingon boyfriend, her funny roommate etc… They are not characters on themselves, they are just story elements to support Michaels journey. And that is why Discovery is not a Star Trek show.
I was crazy for these Fantoma movies when I was in elementery school. Our one and only state-run tv channel used to show these over and over again every Sunday morning.
If Sacha Baron Cohen has a hatred of Russian people and want to ridicule them by using Russian stereotypes, he should at least have enough balls to actually make the movie about Russian people. He should not use the country of Kazakhstan, which is not Slavic but Asian Turkic people, as a convinient proxy just because he knows Kazakhstan is a country unknown in West and he will not get backlash. This is racism; and it is disgusting.
This movie devistated me. I am a grown ass man and I could not stop crying whole day after watching this movie.
Why is the title of this movie in this weird script? It is neither the original Turkish title (Masumiyet), nor the English translation(Innocence). Why is it in a third language that has nothing to do with this movie?
After two seasons of mediocre writing and terrible characters and overexcessive use of lens flares, I am really conflicted if I should give this series a one last chance or not.
Believe it or not, this 1996 movie is the first time Othello was ever played by a black actor in a movie, instead of a white actor with blackface.
Possibly one of the best pirate movies ever made. Walter Matthau as one of the greatest pirate captain performances in Hollywood. Real full sized galleons and brigs on open sea (not water tanks). The pacing, the thrills, the humour it is all top notch. I wish Polanski had made a Treasure İsland movie with the same cast and crew.
Possibly one of the best historical dramas ever filmed. An absolute classic.
A fine example of Welless uniue style of gothic horror and also his wicked sense of humour.
