Happy to hear I could provide you with a chuckle, :). The film definitely isn’t as bad as critics are making it appear. Still, would have been nice for the film to live up to its trailer. Cumberbatch is incredible as always. I will be sure to let you all know about 12 Years a Slave when I see it tomorrow. As for August: Osage County, it really is marvel. It’s really growing on me, lots of Oscar caliber performances.

The dancing sequence was used for comic relief. It’s really accurate and Cumberbatch nails it. The singing and piano scene in August: Osage County is heartbreaking, just terrific.

[…] Film Reviews for helping me figure out the schedule for my busy day today. I also need to thank Joseph at Cinema Monster for all the updates related to the movies screening before the event so that I ended up being […]

I love it when it’s the fanboys who are writing up the reviews because it’s always a treat! Still laughing about the “masculine infatuation” bit. You are not alone, sir, Patrick Adams from Suits, I believe tweeted that he had to wrestle his inner fanboy when he saw Benedict two times in a row. I understand how you feel, it took me multiple viewings of Star Trek before I even begin to comprehend the plot because well, busy being floored by Mr. Benedict. I am just hugely disappointed that the reviews tend to be on the negative side (some are downright nasty) seemed to be worse than it actually is and I’m thinking it’s actually a good film, it just did not rise to the promise we saw on the trailer, with a great cast to boot. But just like Star Trek, Fifth Estate may have garnered mixed reviews but it’s unified in praise of Benedict. Please tell us what you think after watching 12 Years a Slave and August Osage.

One question though, how’s the Assange weird disco dancing? I suggest you also check the real assange dancing on youtube too if you have not seen it. Bill Condon said it was one scene that has absolutely need to be shown in the film and that Benedict nailed it too. Not a shocker really but its one bit im looking forward to seeing. Also cant wait to see the singing and piano playing in August Osage!

Definitely gonna watch this! I just know that Benedict would be brilliant in it as he had in all other movies/tvs/radio/theatre he acted in.

Thanks Tyson. I don’t think he’s that freaky looking lol. If you’re only interested in Cumberbatch, you won’t be disappointed. His performance here is easily one of his best :).

So jealous of you going to this festival. The film sounds good, but I’m only interested for Cumberbatch really. The man is freaky looking but sure can act. Nice write up Joseph :)
