Outlaw King (2018)
Choppy editing; zombie like main actor
This was a waste if a great storyline. The actors, apart from our main actor were pretty decent. What this movie suffered was a little choppy editing. They could have strung together the story with a good narration. You have a sense that things just happened. There was a lack in focussing on the strategy that Robert used. It was all over the place, and not one single aspect of it became excellent. And what was that obligatory nude shot of a naked Chris Pine got to do with the story other than to exploit his Hollywood leading man status? The supporting actors were great though. Aaron Taylor-Johnson managed to immerse himself in his role, you don't even recognise it's him until you read the screen credits. Florence Pugh was excellent as Robert's wife. Why oh why Chris Pine do you not have more facial expressions? Not even in the movement of your eyes? Did the cold weather in Scotland just froze them?
When the Starlight Ends (2016)
Bittersweet
In the end, Jacob fails to grasp real life. He goes back to his introverted alternate universe. Like most of us I guess. Choppy editing. Could do with a little more introspection with Cassandra. Really intentionally funny in parts. Overall bittersweet. I like.
