Hours of people just talking utter pish. Lots of close up shots of women's manky feet. Then one big bout of ultra violence at the end. Garbage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A few of my favourite films are from Tarantino, but also think some of his movies are pure garbage. Sadly this fell into the latter. A bit of a lottery with his films.

Cruyff Posted Saturday at 22:25 Share Posted Saturday at 22:25 Nobody - Starring Bob Odenkirk. It's basically the Equaliser crossed with John Wick and it does hold a candle to both to be fair. Unoriginal but it's entertaining, for that I'll give it 7.5/10. rudi will give it 10/10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tazio Posted Sunday at 21:23 Share Posted Sunday at 21:23 Schumacher on Netflix. Excellent documentary about Michael Schumacher’s life and career. Very balanced writing and I’m glad that they included lots of stuff about his life outside racing and his family. Very emotional last few minutes talking about his accident and how it changed his family. I always knew of that side of him and was pleased it was confirmed to more people when he made a massive donation to the charity set up for relief from the tsunami in south east Asia. Despite the British press always portraying him as a robotic ruthless racing machine he seemed to have had a much better life/racing balance than a lot of other driver then, and especially now.

I am not an F1 fan but thought this was an excellent documentary. As you say, it showed a lot of his life away from the circuit and he seems to be loved and valued by everyone who knows him. Heart breaking at times - especially the part with Senna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesM48 Posted Monday at 10:06 Share Posted Monday at 10:06 (edited) “ Callas by Maria “ documentary about the great opera singer Maria Callas in her own words , from interviews and letters . Fascinating insight in her life and art . She died of a heart attack at only 53. She had a life long affair with Aristotle Onassis who then dumped her for Jackie Kennedy but then when back to her before his death . I always thought she was a great beauty too . 9/10 for this film as it also has many of her great arias in it . It was on BBC 2 so may be on iPlayer Edited Monday at 10:08 by JamesM48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spotting them becomes a game. The editors did a great job on that. Any time something passes in front of the camera and obscures the main action, that'll be a cut. Or when someone walks into darkness then back out again, the cut is hidden in the dark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the beginning I was torn between watching the movie for the story and trying to see if I could see the cuts. Thinking about it. It would've been some effort for that guy to do all that in one or two takes. Though the guys who were there probably had times like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah there were lots of clever cuts. The only film I've seen that was truly recorded in one continuous take without cuts is a German film called "Victoria", which is well worth a watch. Slow start but fair explodes into life in the second half and is well worth a watch. Very impressive by both the actors and the film crew to pull it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
