Man of Tai Chi (2013)
Very stylish and strong Martial Arts Movie !
I was really impressed with Keanu Reeves Directional Debut.
Yeah the story is not really deep but has a nice moral.
Its story is mainly there to drive the movie forward to the AWESOME fights and action.
The fights and ideas are incredible (f.e. the Shadow Scene on the Boat).
Mr. Reeves surrounded himself with the best in the business it seems (Action / Fight Choreographer and Camera Man).
The style and quality of the whole movie is Asian with Western Eyes :). Very modern , high quality pictures with stylistic items. The Movie feels like it has much more budget than it really had.
So if you like Martial Arts this a must see. Tiger Chens athletic ability is great too watch. The only downside of the film and why i didn't gave it 9 / 10 is that Keanu is a Top Director for this film but i don't like his overacting and one liners in his role . And Sadly Iko Uwais appearance is very short and without much fighting.
But overall one of the most impressive films i have seen this year from a directional and action standpoint. You can clearly see a certain style the director wants to translate through the camera lenses and thats a huge accomplishment for a Debut.
Breaking Bad: Confessions (2013)
Oh my freaking god !
This was absolutely the best episode EVER , i mean ever not Breaking Bad Wise , S05E11 is simply the best acting, scripting, camera work, drama ever filmed for TV !!! And it tops Season 4 , which was absolutely brilliant.
I cried 1 time simply because of the outstanding acting and chemistry of Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. Aaron Paul is absolutely amazing, he will have a huge career after Breaking Bad, you can count on that.
The Scripting is so perfect i cannot put it to words. You feel like "Wow this is awesome" only to be wowed again 5min after that and so one.
I was nearly jumping into my TV in the last 5 min of the episode. This is such a thrill.
Whoever hasn't watched Breaking Bad, you simply miss the best drama series ever made. Breaking Bad plays in another league.
And i watched all great drama series, Lost, Sopranos, The Wire.... etc etc. totally different league. The Acting would be Oscar worthy...
