Movie/film suggestions.

 

While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies wink).

I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:

The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

Speaking of George Clooney, I thought that The Ides Of March had a pretty quick moving and tight plot with some good acting by Clooney, Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marissa Tomei, Evan Rachel Wood. . . .

I don't blame Clooney for being a forgettable actor for acting, his boyish sad smile is sufficient. But I would pick Ocean's 11 and the Descendants as his best

Up In The Air was very good. And Out of Sight with JLo was enjoyable fluff, as was Intolerable Cruelty (another Coen Bros movie) with Catherine Zeta- Jones.

These were all enjoyable movies. But Clooney's acting to me was vanilla, maybe the role was vanilla. I think he is cast as good guy with a problem, good guy who solves the problem, conflicted, mostly bad guy, charming criminal we tend to support for sad cute puppy face. Maybe he is not relatable because of his good looks for most of us. Not his fault :) But think of Paul Rudd, who is also charming but has 10 times more angles complexity, dimensions to a role. Clooney has maybe 4, his characters become him, whereas Rudd becomes the character. Well, what do I know. I could be totally wrong....
