Emmerdale Live and Organized - October 5, 2017

Ah. The preshow. I’m keeping a lot of feelings inward right now because I don’t want to fight with anyone. So, I’ll talk about this week. This week has been spectacular so far. The writing is top notch. The acting is top notch. The cinematography has been top notch. TOP NOTCH is the ten-dollar word of the day by the way. Either way, it has been great. Everything is coming together beautifully, and I’ve been enjoying my time in Emmerdale this week. With Maxine at the helm for Thursday and Friday? We are headed into one hell of a finale. I’m confident that this week will reverberate for the rest of October and maybe even November.  

Alright,…let us start the show!

The Bartons/Cain/Harriet

We get a bigger view of where Emma is laying. I assume she is talking to James? Finn? Any other dead people want to join in?

Finn is gone.

Oh, Ross. My heart. OH MY GOD MY HEART.

Oh god. Emma is talking to James. Will James finally talk back? Please? Let me be right?

Oh god. SOMEONE SAVE THE BABY!

Victoria. SHUT UP. Let them figure out their feelings. THANK YOU ROSS. Oh god. I just thanked Ross. The world is ending now.

A lot of attention on Ross while they are talking kids and babies. Just saying. JUST SAYING.

FINALLY, HE TALKS! HEY JAMES! WHATS UP? YOUR WIFE IS A NUTTER.

Oh, Harriet. It's not your fault. You didn’t know. Seriously. Its ok. *Bubble wrap*

Cain is pissed. Watch out, Emma!

Moira didn’t know guys. It happens. There is a whole show about it. Oh wow. A medical reason. Nice!

I don’t know why Victoria is bugging me. She isn’t doing anything wrong with Moira, but I guess its personal. Sorry. *Bubble wraps my mouth*

I love how in the wide shots he isn’t there, but in the close-ups he is. WELL DONE. LOVE THAT.

Oh. James is her conscience. Love that idea. I thought he would say what she wanted to hear.

Well, that is out now. She also killed Finn, but the village idiot will say something stupid and get put in jail.

Emma almost crashed the damn car over hearing about Finn. BABY IN CAR EMMA.

I’m seriously into how they are using James right now. So well done. Gets me feeling all creative. Good television always does that.

I’m seriously going to miss Emma and the actress. Great acting here. She always delivers.

Moiras out! Cain is out! THOSE TWO WILL END HER.

I think Harriet will find Emma and try to talk her out of doing whatever she is about to do.

That baby is big! Like, that kid ate well while hanging in with Moira. (Cutest little chubby cheeks ever!)

UM. MOIRA? I FEEL LIKE THIS ISN’T A GOOD IDEA. Put the gun down. OH GOD NO.

I love that song so hearing Emma say the words is surreal.

Make sure to tip Victoria for her plot narration. That’s all she is good for today.

The Pub Crew

Oh boy. Here we go. Tracy is about to find out.

OH hey. Leyla is going to freak out. WOW. I would too.

I like how everyone involved in the story is in the pub. Makes this easier to spread.

Eric’s face! Wow. I’d have the same face too. WOW. Good scene. Good acting by everyone.

Is the whole village going to feel guilty over this? Interesting. Very interesting.

‘It’s Just Speculation!’

As per usual: Stay off the message boards, respect each other’s opinions, breathe, reboot and eat a Snickers. If you want to talk theory or the show come on over to my twitter and Tumblr @AmandaJ718

Until next time, see you around in Emmerdale!

Jordan Peele’s latest movie ‘Us’ is nothing like his breakout hit ‘Get Out’ — and that’s a good thing, Defence Online

“Us” is Jordan Peele’s second film he’s prepared and directed.

resource

Common

Jordan Peele’s “Us” is the stick to-up to his hit 2017 movie, “Get Out.”

It’s an additional creepy tale, but it is extremely diverse than his initially film.

Along with Peele showing off his remarkable composing skills, the movie’s star Lupita Nyong’o offers a highly effective overall performance, although the cinematography and rating are top notch.

Jordan Peele is in a difficult spot.

His directorial debut, “Get Out,” was not just a box-office hit that gained him a most effective initial screenplay Oscar. It was also a film that grabbed the cultural zeitgeist in the region. How the heck do you stick to that up?

The answer: You go in a different route, which is just what Peele does with his sophomore effort, “Us” (in theaters Friday).

On the floor, it doesn’t glimpse like that’s what Peele is performing. Trailers for “Us” search as creepy and socially conscious as “Get Out.” But I see “Us” as a straight-up horror movie, nevertheless some may obtain subtext of Peele commenting on civility and respecting your fellow guy.

The motion picture focuses on the Wilson family – Adelaide (Lupita Nyong’o), Gabe (Winston Duke), Zora (Shahadi Wright Joseph), and Jason (Evan Alex) – as they vacation out to their beach residence close to Santa Cruz, California. Nevertheless all would seem suitable, going to Santa Cruz provides back a great deal of unpleasant reminiscences of Adelaide’s youth, especially an night on the boardwalk when she came encounter-to-confront with a woman who looked precisely like her. The traumatic celebration led to her currently being temporarily not able to discuss and she invested several a long time hoping to get above it by dance and other sorts of expression.

Back again in the movie’s current day, the Wilsons go to the beach front in Santa Cruz to satisfy up with a further family (the mom and dad are performed by Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker) and apart from Jason coming throughout a person dressed in pink with blood dripping from his hand, all would seem … ok?

But that night the Wilsons are again at their beach front dwelling and factors get seriously peculiar. 4 figures dressed in red all keeping hands are standing at the major of their driveway and it turns out they all seem just like the Wilsons. Practically nothing is alright any more.

“Us” is rapid-paced, gory, and when a lot more shows the composing abilities of Peele. The motion picture is also loaded with a lot additional laughs than “Get Out,” with Duke’s Gabe character receiving lots of of the finest a single-liners. Don’t get baffled: You are not strolling into a comedy, but often the only way to love a horror film is to giggle after in a though.

Go through additional: The very first trailer of Quentin Tarantino’s new motion picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt is out, and we simply cannot wait to see far more

The coronary heart and soul of the movie is Nyong’o, who in participating in two pushed women (Adelaide and her double “Red,” who the actress provides a creepy raspy voice) exhibits an outstanding quantity of array.

And topping it all off are the cinematography and rating. Michael Abels, who also scored “Get Out,” takes advantage of an orchestral audio to freak the heck out of you. And DP Mike Gioulakis (‘Glass,” “Split,” “It Follows”) presents some lush images, and his use of mild in some of the shots is so spot-on. It could be his most effective operate to date.

With “Us,” Peele displays he is perfectly mindful that he has to maintain the audience off harmony. It is the only way to counter their preconceived notions likely into his films. And it is the only way he can remain real to his art.

WEEKEND TV HOT FILM PICKS!

Check out my guide to the top films on TV this weekend and the best of the rest. Enjoy!

LATE FRIDAY 10th MARCH

HOT PICKS!

BBC2 @ 0005       The Borderlands (2013) ***

Here's a nifty little Found Footage Horror for your Friday night in. Don't let "Found Footage" immediately put you off. Yes - there is an absolute ton of garbage in this Sub-Genre - that is true - but this scrapes through as one to give a chance to. What we have here is a Vatican sponsored Paranormal Investigation in a rural West Country church. Our team are there to debunk the claims as a hoax. Admittedly its scares are minimal but that doesn't take away from a great tension build in the final act. Some will say it is too little too late - but for this film that had no real release to speak of getting just the Video on Demand release - it certainly holds its own. Fans of found footage films will see its merit. Horror fans may get some enjoyment - for everyone else.... well - give it a try.

C4 @ 0040     Oldboy (2003) *****

The finest film to ever come out of Korea is Park Chan-Wook’s amazing: Oldboy. There is so much to say about this film but I will let it speak for itself. You all should have seen it already and is one of the best films of its kind. If you haven’t seen it then you’re in for a cinematic treat. It is the story of a man who is kidnapped and imprisoned for 15 years and then suddenly and without reason is released. He has money, a phone and is dressed in a smart suit. Here begins his journey to establish who his kidnappers were and why they did it. It is a truly brilliant story full of reveals and it spirals deeper and deeper into his past. It’s jaw dropping. It’s an elaborate story of revenge and torment, completely gripping and beautifully put together. This is a film not to be missed. The “hammer” scene is one of my favourite single takes in film. Watch this!

Best of the rest:

Dave @ 2100       Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) *****

BBC1 @ 2235      Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) ****

E4 @ 2305           The Grey (2011) ****

SATURDAY 11th MARCH

HOT PICKS!

TCM @ 1915      Beetlejuice (1988) *****

I’ve always been a big fan of Michael Keaton and here he pulls out an astounding performance as the green haired, un-dead and thoroughly unpleasant Beetlejuice. A young couple are in a fatal accident and find themselves as poltergeists in their home. As the fail to scare away the new owners of their family home they call upon the crazy striped suited scare monger to help them out. But all is not as it seems. The pace of this horror comedy is relentless and always a delight to watch. Creative, crazy and full of carnage - this is a Tim Burton film we all can enjoy before we got fed up with his insistence of churning out the same old formula. When’s the last time you saw Beetlejuice? No doubt too long ago. Get this on your watch list.  

BBC2 @ 2245       L.A. Confidential (1997) *****

This film perfectly immerses the viewer in both the 1950s setting and the gritty story played out.  It really gets your attention. It’s a thriller oozing with police corruption and who knows what lurks around the dark Noir-ish corners.  It’s a real showcase for quality cinematography, micro second perfect editing and direction to die for.  Its success lies in a combination of all these things, a cast of amazing merit and a story that creeps up on you allowing the viewer to be in the control seat having to work everything out for themselves.  It’s one of those films that withstands the test of time and multiple viewings are not only a pleasure but also add more and more. Highly Recommended.

C4 @ 2100      Room (2015) ****

This unsettling and powerful drama treads carefully with its subject matter and reveals a heart filled story of a 5 year old boy and his mother who have been locked in a room for his whole life. His world is the room and has no understanding of the reasons he is there or the real world outside. Brie Larson plays an amazing role as the mother who makes the decision to reveal certain truths to her son and hatches a scheme to enable her son to escape. This emotion filled drama caught me completely by surprise. I somehow avoided it on release due to the serious subject matter - but when I eventually sat down and gave it my time I was thoroughly rewarded.

Best of the rest:

BBC1 @ 1445       Kung Fu Panda (2008) ***

Dave @ 1530        Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) *****

5* @ 1640              A Knight's Tale (2001) ***

Sky1 @ 2000        Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) ***

Spike @ 2200       Timecop (1994) ***

C4 @ 2320            The Adjustment Bureau (2011) ****

Film4 @ 0030       The Crazies (2010) ****

SUNDAY 12th MARCH

HOT PICKS!

Syfy @ 2000       Weird Science (1985) ****

This is quite possible my favourite John Hughes film.  He’s done plenty of brilliant 80’s teen comedies that have all withstood the test of time, but this one really hits the spot. Get out your neon socks, kick back and prepare to enjoy this 80’s saturated comedy. It’s pure 80’s indulgence.  Gary and Wyatt are two rather unpopular teenagers. Failing to be accepted by their peers and the girls at school they attempt to create the perfect woman using their computer. They get a hell of a lot more than they bargain for, as their creation, Lisa, is quite a handful indeed. Lisa continuously puts the boys in uncomfortable and challenging situations in an attempt to make them act like men to boost their confidence. Hilarious, a perfect cast, Bill Paxton as Chet, a childhood crush on Kelly LeBrock… all these things and so much more all come together making this a top notch comedy. No amount of backcombing could ruin this 80’s comedy classic. I dare you not to enjoy it.

Horror @ 2100      Triangle (2009) ****

I’ve always been surprised this film didn’t get more attention. Written and Directed by Christopher Smith we see him really pull out all the stops with this far superior and more complicated story compared to his previous outing Severance. It really shows how he has grown as a film maker. This is a film very difficult to describe without giving too much away. What I can say is it’s a story of a group of 6 passengers on a yacht which capsizes when caught in a freak storm. They come across a large ocean liner and get on board. The Liner is deserted apart from a lone masked gunman… Here the story takes some very interesting turns.

What I will say is Triangle is full to the brim with twists and turns and an excellent performance from Melissa George, Triangle is really fascinating to watch and watch again. It pulls on good qualities from films like “Time Crimes” & “Memento” also with a couple of nods to “The Shining”. Overall this is a very satisfying film you will want to watch over and over and over again.

Syfy @ 2200      Strange Days (1995) *****

Strange Days is a seriously underrated Sci-Fi film. Written by James Cameron and Directed by Kathryn Bigelow this film certainly has the right credentials. It’s packed full of some really stunning action sequences, the story has great depth and an intelligent entry into the Sci-Fi genre. Although made in 1995 and with a story set 2 days before the millennium, it still has a very fresh feel. For fans of Sci-Fi this is a serious must see… For everyone else, the same applies, it really is that good. Ralph Fiennes is brilliant as the morally questionable ex-cop turned hustler, Lenny Nero. The POV shots in this film are masterfully put together. Engaging, action packed and full of thrills. Don’t miss this.

Best of the rest:

Film4 @ 1920         Chronicle (2012) ***

C5 @ 2100              The Equalizer (2014) ***

Film4 @ 2100         Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) ****

E4 @ 2200              Sleepy Hollow (1999) ****

C5 @ 2315              Harry Brown (2009) ***

TCM @ 2315           Beetlejuice (1988) *****

Horror @ 0045        Re-Animator (1985) ****

Film4 @ 0150          Magic Magic (2013) ***
