still gives me all the feels 
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
Nope
Konnan
Undisputed Jack in the Box Parking Lot Champion
Im about to watch that now
I just finished the Amy Winehouse documentary named Amy
Senseless and sad ending for her
Never really ever paid attention to her while she was alive but she was sexy af before she just totally became a junkie
It was a pretty well made documentary
It reminded me of the Kurt Cobain documentary Montage of Heck the way they used her home footage

They actually put this up on Amazon Prime video if anyone has that :
3/5
All Hail Macbeth....?
So....I really loved the visuals and direction, but I'll be honest with y'all...I couldn't tell what the fukk they were saying for most of the movie. I'm talking like...entire monologues where I pick up a sentence or a word here or there. The cinematographer (And, I'm assuming, the colorist) was the star here.
The funny thing is...I actually have a friend who allegedly downloaded a version with subtiles but didn't get around to watching it until it showed up on amazon....might need to rewatch it with those....
In SOME respects...it kind of made it more interesting. That sounds bizarre but figure this : They are using that old, Shakespearean dialect...even with subtiles one would still have trouble understanding everything. Not understanding everything made me focus more on visuals, expressions, gestures, how characters are related to and act towards one another, etc. Macbeth acting like a paranoid nut at a dinner party and throwing everyone out like he's fukking Bruce Wayne is easy to understand. Some may have more trouble with say, the witches though.
Kind of expected more from Fassbender and Collitard..they kind of rush Macbeth's insanity angle. There was NO subtlety there. Fassbender goes from a battle general...to a sociopath, almost instantly. Collitard as Lady Macbeth....she doesn't capture that wicked ambition that this character is typically associated with. She's supposed to be Eve giving the apple to Adam. You're supposed to feel that Macbeth doesn't do anything without her driving him. Didn't get that here.
The witches....hmmm. I understand that they were going for a more down to earth, realistic portrayal or whatever. But they mostly just came off as bland...nothing magical about them. Maybe that would have been kitschy to many, but I would have liked for them to have raised the camp in regards to those particular characters.
Having said that, as I noted, the visuals are quite nice. They make good use of the Scottish countryside (Or, wherever it was that they filmed this). Fire seems to be used as a common motif throughout the movie to spell out impending doom and it's used well.
I'd recommend just reading about Macbeth before you watch the movie, so that you have a basic understanding of what's going on beforehand. This helps with any language issues. It's a classic, yet simple, story, many have probably read it before in middle-school or high-school, and those that haven't likely picked up on much of it through osmosis. I'm not talking about extensive research, I'm talking, maybe read the plot outline on wikipedia : Macbeth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
