Macbeth, 2015 one with Herr Fassbender.
Good adaptation. It's a straight up, archaic and visceral version, no contemporary crowd pleaser. Moody and grim with a highland setting, the few dark humour scenes from the play are cut completely as Kurzel goes for the core, although there is an additional scene added at the start that makes a subtle plot point more explicit.
Fassbender is t'riffic, with excellent support from Paddy Considine as Banquo and a superb turn from Sean Harris as Macduff. Marion Cotillard is a top notch Lady Mac, playing the transition from ambitious schemer to haunted accomplice very nicely.
We went to see the RSC version in Stratford a few weeks ago with Chris Eccleston, which was more 'chummy' in the early stages, and Niamh Cusack a much more frenzied lead. This version is paranoid and suspicious from the off. Never ceases to amaze me how malleable and open to interpretation ol' Shakespoke is. Had some talent the lad.

MOSHIRI OUT
Watched Milk for the first time and absolutely loved it. Was so engrossed by the entire thing, the legacy and work that happened there is incredible.
Sean Penn utterly sensational too.

Watched this at the cinema when it came out. Really enjoyed. Very dramatic cinematography as well.
Nice. Bet it was epic on the jumbo-tron.

Adam at Six A.M. (1970)
A 25 year old Michael Douglas in his only second film. It's a film of it's time with a great soundtrack. Adam finds himself an assistant professor in a Californian University and missing something in his life. He treks to the country for his great Aunts funeral, and begins a Summer learning about love, life and the land. I enjoyed it. It's a realistic look at how things were, and how they still are in many regards, told with the simplicity of a summers day in a warm, distant memory.

You`re in a very small minority there.

I know mate. Everybody I know raves about it, personally I thought it was terrible. Like they'd filmed it by strapping a GoPro onto the back of a whippet.

Shane measure is brilliant. Watch the Romeo brass one.
Tried watching Anon, Clive Owen film produced by Sky Movies. Borderline unwatchable, switched over to Top Gun. Best decision of the evening
