Big Eyes (2014)
A Beautiful Movie!
The movie is beautiful and Amy Adams is brilliant in her portrayal of Margaret Keane. She should get an Oscars for this.
I was entertained, holding off going to the bathroom because each scene in the movie is important part so I'd understand the next one on why behaviors are like that. No boring scene for me.
The movie is funny and light it makes you feel good after leaving the theater. Almost a feel-good movie only it's drama in category and a little on human psychology.
The story is interesting, the conflict is more of a moral one. If you're a person with no integrity and honesty is not a cup of your tea, you might find this lame and you won't find the conflict enough for the pay off at the end.
Enjoyable, definitely one for renting or blue-ray collection.
Amy Adams is the best part here though. I think.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
Exodus - the Atheist Version
If you plan to watch this film because you're excited to re-experience the same way you did while watching 1956's Ten Commandments, only with the better graphics and cinematography (the trailer will fool you), then you're in for a massive disappointment. Don't waste money.
Total miscast, Rameses looks like half-Korean. Moses and Rameses wives' look Indian. I think Rameses' wife is really an Indian actress. Moses and Zipporah's wedding look like a Bollywood wedding, I was waiting for them to dance Jai-Ho, because seriously, with so much ridiculous things in the movie, this won't surprise me. The Hebrews look like barbaric, drug addicts who have no respect for themselves and don't want to check themselves in rehab... I didn't see a legit middle eastern in the movie. Man, they've got nothing on Yul Brynner, Charleton Heston and the ladies in the 1956 movies.
Emotionless - And it affected me... I don't really know how I would feel watching the movie. Not sure if i would leave or sleep or stay or what. I didn't know the right answer. Maybe that emotion is not invented yet.
God here is a bratty little boy. This is an insult to the true God and to the audience...
The burning bush looks like a bonfire in some lame camping ground..
Don't ever wait for parting of the Red Sea, the water just receded like it was low tide and the Hebrews swam/crawl in the flood .. it was corny Moses had no staff. He had a sword.
Moses never wore a Levite dress, He wore a gladiator outfit.
Moses hairstyle keeps on changing inconsistently thru the movie.
The Hebrew faces' look sad while marching leaving Egypt... after 400 years of slavery, they probably miss building bricks.
I'm not sure if the movie wanted me to believe whether or not there is God. It is not the real story folks. You'd be extremely disappointed if you would like to see the actual Bible Story in the Book of Exodus.
