Succession (2018)
One of the best TV shows I have seen
When I had finished watching Breaking Bad it was hard to imagine i would come across something better.
After watching all seasons for me this one is better. The First Season is slightly slow but once it really picks on starting from the Second Season this show is unstopable.
It's Epic in terms of acting and casting. Perfection in terms of character development and writing.
I cant remember the last time i enjoyed the show so much and which I can watch again and again that deals simply with interaction and dialogues between different characters.
HBO delivers again. This one will remain in the memories for a long time.
Mother! (2017)
Courageous and Brilliant.
I don't know what to say. Just finished watching this masterpiece. One of the most innovative films I have ever seen. The performance are absolutely top notch especially from Lawrence and Bardem.
I understand that many won't like this film and fair enough.. it's not a light watch and very cryptic.
But for me I just can't help but admire how unique and courageous this film is.
In my opinion this film elevates an already amazing Aronofsky in the category of greatest filmmakers of all time.
Noah (2014)
Excellent Film
This movie has probably the most undeserved rating on IMDB.
I mean 5.8 really???? That kind of rating is reserved for films like Scrapy movie have a higher rating!
Okay Normally i would have rated the film about 8/10. This is not a perfect film but it is quite excellent.
The positives:
1) Russell Crowe is brilliant.
2) Some of the imagery in the film is truly breath-taking especially one scene about creation.
3) Anthony Hopkins is brilliant as ever, Emma Watson gives one of her best acting performances.
4) For me the best part of the film was Jennifer Conelly. The fact that she was not even nominated for an Oscar is a travesty. It's her best performance since Requiem for a Dream. (yes better than in A Beautiful Mind) she absolutely steals every scene she as a torn apart Mother / Wife.
5) The Ending: The Film pushes it's Lead to make a tough decision, something that a love. There is no escape for him as in so many different Films. The Character has to make a difficult decision and he makes it.
Bad:
1) Special Affects is the most obvious one. Especially with the animals, they look very clearly unreal.
2) The Film suffers from pacing from time to time, at first in the very beginning when things take time to roll off. Later the scenes in the Arc are a bit slow.
Overall: Excellent film as expected from it's director. Had there been better special effects without certain pacing issues this film could have been even greater. Honest Rating (8/10)
*I am giving it a 10/10 for the gross injustice of the rating here.
