MACBETH
Cant believe that I finally finished this movie. Tried it earlier with a WEBRip copy. Got lost as the accent is so thick (supposed to be Scottish) and they spoke in Classical English. I suppose the dialogue is straight from Shakespeare's play and they were supposed to be acting on stage and the audience are all those who liked or are taking Macbeth as their exam paper. But its not, as I am just a movie fan who wanted to enjoy watching a film and learn about Macbeth's character the easy way. But i dont have the privilege to do that it seem. Thanks for the blue ray's subtitles, yet it still got me lost most of the time.
Thanks to the short sypnosis from "Uncle Eddie" on Macbeth in "Criminal Activities". He explained it short and simple why Macbeth was bold and fearless cause he cannot die if to be killed by a man from a woman's womb. Yup stumbled upon the lines that mentioned about Woman's womb. But if without that useful spoiler I could have taken Macbeth as bold, stupid and fearless King who finally got killed by McDuff played by Solomon Kane of MI6.
The acting by Fassbender, Coulthard and Harris were all good. But who want to care less when you have some much problem in watching a movie.
It is unnecessary to do this movie to the way it did. You dont have to use Shakespears' English if it is not for exam students. You see, there are plenty of movies which use simple and maybe American English and it attract a lot of people to see and appreciate the movie. A close example was Braveheart. Many of Ridley Scotts film are also in this category example Robin Hood and Kingdom of Heaven. Alas, some films are even talked in English where else you know they should be speaking in other language. But its ok for audience.
The scenes of the Scotland's mountain is breath taking thou. Not much action thou I was hoping it to be more to comprimise the other things.
See this if you are taking "Macbeth" as your exam paper.

REVIEWED
Just saw the movie and what a mess it was !
Quite hopeful when It started off. Nice scenery aerial view of a snowy landscape. Then when the fight with the witch started and with music in the background, it started to give me the headache. Its those fighting scenes which have too much editing and taken from too many angles when it ended you asked what happened ? Who killed who ?
Then Michael Caine appeared with the hope that he can save the movie. But it did not. The background music keep on playing and playing like it never going to stop. If done good and adequately it would have blend well and work for the movie. I guess here is where a musical director works is important. If you give the task only to the composer this would happened. He'll keep on putting his scores in. Good movies dont need to have background music all the time. It should know where to stop and where to start.
One thing is that you need to be a die hard witchcraft fan to understand what they are saying technically. Like me, I got lost with the too many times of going to the past but in a trance thing. But one concept stolen from Inception, when you die in the dream you die in real life. That i hope i got it right.
So in the end after the job is finished, do Coldon (VD's character) got any more job to do ? Or was it the end of hunting witches ? That I am not really sure - a result of poor story telling ? After watching this I still am not sure how do you really kill a witch and which witches are the good ones and should you let them live ?
Well thats my review. Some may agree and some may not.

THE BUTLER - Reviewed
There are many notable actors in this movie. Of the 8 presidents the one I think didnt cut it in terms of appearance is Nixon's John Cussack. I read that Pres Obama nearly appear as himself in this movie if not for his busy schedule. Even Obama's character did not made it through even with an actor. Oprah Winfrey played a major role as the butler's wife. She is a good actor when you see how fragile she became in her old age. Would you believe that Mariah Carey is this one too with no dialogue just a rape cry at the beginning of the movie. Worth mentioning is David Oyowelo as Butler's son. He acted his character from childhood till an old man. He did this convincingly with this boyish face. BTW he acted as M Luther K in Selma in a movie.
This is good film making. More than 2 hours and a drama with no action, one enjoyed the story telling in this movie. Never feel bore at all.
MAGGIE - Reviewed
The wife played by Joely Richardson is a double ringer to Judy Greer. JR is a British well known for serious English drama. So she could have done this with her eyes closed. Not literally of course.
I considered this movie OK. Its not horror for it seem like one and quite close to Zombie movie. No doubt this is one of those movie which try to explain Zombie 101. Nice in some aspects like - eyes become whitish, bones brittle, appetite for flesh, smell flesh like food being cooked, veins bulging etc. Symptoms of Zombie.
I cant understand why Vogel (AS Character) is allowed to take her daughter Maggie home. Although his own daughter, didnt he think that it will exposed to the other members of the family ? Plus there is no cure yet and situation will get worser until they cant speak but like to eat people.
Her step mother (playe by JR) is also very accommodating. Like any disease, especially when it is unknown, making contacts should be a no no. Also the doctor. sheriff all allowed Maggie to be at her home.
So that is my problem with the movie. The acting is all right. How the story is told and captured on film is also good but I dont buy the concept and that spoils the movie as a whole.
