Some movies to See....chatchienNovember 8 2015, 23:06:07 UTC
I know Vikander and Gleeson from Ex Machina. Vikander was also good in A Royal Affair, she might be the one of the new-go-to Hollywood actresses.
Gleeson's dad was great in Calvary which is a movie that I can recommend. In the course of his priestly duties, an Irish priest begins to receive death threats from one of his parishioners. Who has got a grudge against him?
I guess that I will put Brooklyn and Suffragette on my To-See List. I was a little shy of seeing Suffragette because there is a really old BBC mini-series on the Pankhurst Crusaders, Shoulder to Shoulder with Sian Phillips in the role of Emmeline Pankhurst and she killed that part. I have always been proud to be a feminist after seeing that mini-series.
REUNITED!!!!!
Did you see The Hollow Crown? Whishaw or Spellmacher did a very good Richard II, I have always found that character as written to be too nebulous and undefined for an actor to really do well with it. And Kinnear was the young Henry Bolingbrook. Jeremy Irons was very good as the old Henry B, but Kinnear had a frantic, I-am-already-regretting-this air about him, rather like Jeb! Bush today.
I have got to see The Ides of March now.
Because I had nothing better to do, I watched Dream House. Rachel Weisz is a beauty, a young Bellucci. It was a throw away thriller but Daniel Craig was rather good in it. I kept wondering if he was ever going to commit to his American accent and then decided that he couldn't. But then I remembered that In Cold Blood movie that he did with a very good accent. Craig was uneven but he was always commanding on the screen. I've never seen him in a Bond movie, I don't care about them. I wish that he would make some other movies, he is an interesting actor to watch even when he is not at his best.
My new TV craze is The Last Kingdom on BBC America. I have got the hots for Alexander Dreymon. He has got the hair and the furs and the sword of my beloved King Robb, the Cutest King in Westeros. And the Dane Vikings are much more fun than any Boltons. And King Alfred is prickly like Joffery but Alfred has brains and intelligence which no one ever accused King Joffery of having, not even his adoring Mum.

Like with "Calvary" it took me a moment to like the film because I was so wrapped up in the protagonists that the endings left me upset to say the least.
Vikander was also good in A Royal Affair, she might be the one of the new-go-to Hollywood actresses.
She's also good in the not-so-great "Testament of Youth". She's forging a great path of roles of herself.

"Suffragette" used many composite characters and wove it with real people (Pankhurst, Emily Davison) so it stands on it's on--it has the spirit of the real movement behind it.
Did you see The Hollow Crown?
Not yet. I hear he's great IIRC he won a BAFTA for the role.

Other than Jennifer Lawrence when actors get franchises it's as if they cease doing other roles. Prior to Bond Craig was working steadily. I don't know if he's just waiting for the right role or if roles stopped coming to him but he really fell off credits wise once he got Bond. It's a shame. He's such a dangerous actor. He was so dangerous and scandalous in the film "The Mother".
My new TV craze is The Last Kingdom on BBC America. I have got the hots for Alexander Dreymon.
I've heard it's good. My friend watches it. I'm glad Dreymon is working him. He was woefully underused on "American Horror Story: Coven".

It sounds like Game of Thrones but with characters who make better decisions.
