Movie Reviews: All Eyez On Me + Julius Caesar (1953) + Blood Simple
All Eyez On Me (2017)
A Tupac biopic. No contentment and purpose. A very troubled production. Terrible. Danai Gurira, Kat Graham and Hill Harper feature.
Best Line:
“You a scrub!”

Julius Caesar (1953)
Marlon Brando recites Shakespeare like he is chatgpt. Brutus (James Mason) makes calamitous errors. Julius Caesar is like a 70s greengrocer. Mason is an intense presence. It is 44BC and Greer Garson and Deborah Kerr and John Gielgud wander around sets. It all looks vaguely sinister. Julius Caesar is assassinated and Brando whips the citizens into a frenzy of rage. Cue war and death. Ok.
Best lines:
“Loves thee not.”
“States unborn.”

Blood Simple (1984)
A neo noir full of mumbling. No.
