Why, Dave? Too many crazy cuts from Baz? |

That - and.... I thought Hanks was horrible - cringe worthy - how in the fok did he land on that voice!? And I like Hanks Austin was great Choppy choppy choppy - chaotic Would it be that hard to give me at least one complete song scene? Started to rewatch The Searcher instead - a great Elvis documentary. |

Interesting. I was looking forward to it at first but then saw the run-time and thought hmm, it can wait. Dave, try Thirteen Lives - Ron Howard. Could have been boring considering the repetitive nature of pulling twelve kids and their coach from a flooded cave but solid performances and... Well, I shouldn't say too much more. Go in with low expectations and you should enjoy it. |

Agree with Libby about 13 Lives, excellent and very tense even though we know what happened.
I really liked Elvis though, agree Hanks performance was a little polarising, but I've seen it twice now and think Butler is fantastic and it manages to cover a lot of groud. If you find Lurmann an issue normally though then this won't be your thing (imho). I expect an Oscar nom or two in due course.

Saw 13 lives last night - Excellent1 Howard pulled off what he did with Apollo 13 - had me totally invested even though I knew the outcome. A+ from me |

Dave, I'm so glad I stopped and didn't yammer on about Thirteen Lives too much. A while ago I watched Ron Howard's Masterclass in Directing (thanks again, Pia) and was really impressed. He also seems like an all round nice guy on top of his skills as a Director. I should probably migrate all this Thirteen Lives stuff to another thread. Maybe I'll just make a new one. |

It was a goodie. Howard does all the little things so well - like that chart he used for the cave. |

Thanks, Ant! I also found a link yesterday on how many hours Howard shot, and more... Great reading! Seeing as this continues to be all NOT about Elvis I'll definitely make a new thread shortly. |
