Saturday Night Live: Christoph Waltz/Alabama Shakes (2013)
Great show
There were some really funny skits in this show and Christoph Waltz was a great host. The writing at times was a little flat and some sketches did drag on for a little too long (Tippy...) but overall it was a great show and the Tarantino spoof and the Pope commercial were pretty funny. I did like the musical guests Alabama Shakes as well although the singer/2nd guitar player looked kinda angry and unhappy. ;-)
Certainly the most solid show of this season and it's a pity that some of the skits from the dress rehearsal didn't make it into the show. If you are a SNL/Waltz fan this is definitely a must see for you. I've been contemplating what kind of a show they could come up with if they had more time for the preparation of the show (writing and rehearsing) but still think they used Christoph Waltz pretty well and gave him enough room to showcase his talents given their time constraints.
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
The Matrix Rebloated! Hurray.
Mmh, what is there to be said about this one? Laurence Fishburne needs to lose some weight. Period. Interestingly enough this movie looks like it was made before the original Matrix film. Blade and Bladerunner had a child and they called it Matrix Reloaded. While some of the visual stuff is pretty well done other shots are simply poor.
Every time they do the shot overlooking Zion I can't help but wonder if they actually still use mate paintings? Some other scenes don't look too good either.
Seeing this at a pre-screening I might have guessed that they were still working on the film. I paid 7.50 for this one so that doesn't seem to be an option.
Won't say anything about the story, things are being moved forward plotwise, but until Revolutions there is really no way of making final conclusions on all of this. Anyone saying otherwise is imagining things.
In short, too many fight scenes that do get boring, too much of most things, too little atmosphere, too many side characters..., the horrible Zion Megarave featuring Stomp and the sweaty Cavepeople...
The worst moments had me seeing Jerry Bruckheimers Name written on them.
There is lot of effort in this flick, no doubt, but I'm hoping for a better third act.
