Hamlet (2018)
Brilliant Production
Was lucky enough to see this production at the National Theatre in 2018... four rows back from the stage. Scott was amazing as Hamlet. Then I saw him in Present Laughter at The Old Vic just last summer. Another brilliant, but very different performance. I guess I am a fan!
Jack Ryan (2018)
What a disappointment
Couldn't make it all of the way through Episode 1. Next!
Can't wait for Season 2 of Condor.
Whiplash (2014)
Very Disappointed
In fairness, I probably shouldn't write a review or give a rating as I walked out after an hour. After all of the many positive reviews of this film I couldn't wait to see it. This movie is like a twilight version of Glee. The teacher throws a chair at the main character, the drummer... thank God the drummer ducked otherwise he'd be dead. The teacher both physically and mentally abuses Andrew. This teacher would never be allowed to teach in the best music school in the country and he has no passion for the music, he's a robot.
It seems to me that a lot of viewers are equating yelling, swearing and violence with intensity and great movie making.
