probably because you have no ideal about NFL .

Haha! The NFL? American version of football, It's not just about having an idea, the thing is, d movie as a whole is nice, I even posted a link of it here on dis thread, but it is not up to d level of Oscar- deserving yet in my opinion. It's just about a brain infection discovered, dats all! Nothing too fantastic. In summary, Concussion is good but not excellent (my opinion)

SIRcumalot:
I have to ask this question
Is there any post apocalyptic movie that the lead na young man ?

Yea there is, Maze Runner: Scotch Trials is a post-apocalyptic movie, Lead Actor is a young man. His movie name was "Thomas"

xp17:
I've tried to watch the movie twice, but not clicking. Yet to see the oscar worth in the movie Concussion is far better off

Revenant may be average but neither is Concussion any better. I've watched Concussion and it isn't Oscar deserving either, just in d same average rating.

Watching "BROOKLYN" it's beautiful,nice movie

cao:
Cinema.

ok

SIRcumalot:
is there any studio release that was a darling with the critcis featuring a black actor this season cant think of any.
The head of the academy na black woman I don't know why this stuff is always news.

@graviton2 I just saw Shawshank redemption recently great movie.
Or try Mel brooks "blazing saddles " or Kubricks "dr strangelove" both funny die.

d thing is, it's difficult to ignore the lack of diversity which is so obvious even to d white folks, dats why fans have been talking about it.

cao:
Well, you should have told my cinema to remove all the trailers before the film...Anywho, it gets an 8/10. They've made a film that an average American with a short attention would understand what and how the recession happened.

d recent financial crisis isn't far fetched, I think everyone can connect to It. It's also currently showing in my local cinema. How did u see d movie?

Floyd45:
I also got to see # Daddy's Home which is supposed to be a family comedy. I don't think kids should be allowed to see the movie even though it had little kids in it. It was funny and had me laughing at different point in time. The language was however crass and contained alot of sexual innuedos not appropriate for kids. Mark delivered on this one and so also did Will. I'll give it a 6/10

you really had a great cinema experience, concerning Tom Hardy's accent, dats why it's good watching it with the movie sub-title as it helps a lot, I watched it in d comfort of my room with my PC connected to my sound theatre system, good quality video with downloaded subtitles to help with their "hard to understand accents". Good one for you though.

About to watch The Big Short.

Good, get on with it

"Last Witch Hunter"- Seen, nice but not too fantastic, I'll rate it "fair"

Respected?...okay.. . I'll give it a go, but remember ratings are subjective - one man's food is another man's poison and some films are better/worse after successive viewings.

I concur too, although higher ratings attract higher views and downloads, it's not the ultimate because of different tastes.

dolphinheart:
The fans wunt see his participation as betrayal, they are more sophisticated than that. But he will still give the fans something to cheer/talk about with the way he handles the issue during the show. Na just make one white guy misyan or miss do during the show. He go turn am to scapegoat.

Well, It's gonna be interesting

dolphinheart:
Dnt think he can quit, might have legal implications if he does so.

But I trust Chris, he is gonna make those guys regret they made him the host.

hmm,the question is Will Chris succumb to fans' pressure and bite the fingers that feed him? Can he dare to do so? We'll see.

dolphinheart:
Its Chris rock views/position that I want to know about now, if his going to take a stand or just joke about it .

I've just confirmed from d Dailymail, Chris Rock actually joked about it, offering 3 reasons why fans should tune in next month for d awards, d reasons are: 'Presenter cleavage', 'check out who died dis year' (and)' I might curse!' Lol funny man. But no doubt Chris is under pressure frm fans to quit hosting d show as a show of solidarity for d #oscarsissowhite

dolphinheart:
Its Chris rock views/position that I want to know about now, if his going to take a stand or just joke about it .

The most recent news has it that Chris Rock, who is scheduled to host the 2016 Oscars Award, has been urged by Tyrese and 50 Cent to drop out of d show. Even Will Smith has confirmed a no-show @ d Awards ceremony, in fact in his own words he said, "We are uncomfortable to stand there and say this is ok"

dolphinheart:
So does the academy really think that black actors can't act, hence the bin selection?
Or its true that black actors can't act, hence the non selection?

Well,It's hard to tell @ dis moment,but u can't help but understand the frustration, even George Clooney recently kicked against d Oscars for d same reason too, so d complaint is gathering momentum.

dolphinheart:
What's up with the #oscarissowhite issue

It's what is trending right now as a build up to d Oscars. Black actors and even some white folks have accused the Oscars Award for lack of diversity i.e for being one sided in race. A certain black actor voiced his frustration, He said ".....do they mean we can't act"?

Just seen ''ROOM'' 2015. It's indeed a beautiful and nice movie, enjoyed it. I think the real star performer in the movie was the little boy, Jack. He acted brilliantly and said so many quotes that startled me, some poetic, some inspirational, and some others really made me laugh so hard. It's all about the struggles and challenges of childhood - especially being raised by a single parent. Good script, nice plot, and well executed.

Scripted...

http://deadspin.com/this-is-what-a-wwe-raw-script-looks-like-1570327862..

The thing is, I ain't got time for scripted and dramatised waste of time. I use to watch wwe @ a very much younger age, but not anymore.

"PERFECT GUY" - Good movie.

Glad I've gotten d movie, ''LEGEND'' 2015 in HD....gonna see it tonight.

Raalsalghul:
Still confused if I should chastise Patrick Wilson for starring in two films that are somewhat similar in plot, but dissimilar in tone-in the same year-both films talk about adultery in marriages. The first film is “Home Sweet Hell” ---it follows a furniture seller as he engages in an affair with a junior worker. And how his cold, calculated, homicidal and obsessive wife played by Katherine Heigl resolves it by murdering several members of the gang who uses the said lady to extort money from her partner. While the second is “Zipper”, which I am currently going to review-the plot revolves on a successful district attorney as he engages in affairs with different call girls thereby hurting any chances he has of moving up the ladder in his political aspirations. His wife here, played by Lena Headey also takes action for damage control, albeit in a different manner.

Sincerely, I am unaware which film debuted first and I don’t care to know. But at this point, I am going to assume Patrick recognised the error in his ways by featuring in the first film, which even by comedy standards is stupid-and then he decided to use a similar scenario to correct his mistakes. By far, “Zipper” is better than “Home Sweet Hell”, but given the end products, I would have liked if “Zipper” had borrowed some elements from “Home Sweet Hell”: like an exchange to make one transcend from stupid to tolerable-the other, from a tense dramatic entertaining affair to near perfection.

1/8 of this film focuses on sexual rendezvous between the main character and his escorts, but what drives him into such act or motivations are not expanded or expatiated upon. It gives too much room for assumption from the audience. But one of those assumptions would never be based on the fact that there is a lack of sexual intimacy between and his wife. At least, we get to see a sex scene-prior to that; there is a scene where she coerces him into the act, which he refuses. So, based on the absence of no explanation, it leaves a feeling of “effect” and no “cause”- “action”, but no “drive”. And even in scenes where it seems that there is a hint of “reason” for such deeds through dialogue which gives a hint at the character’s back story, which is not shown-the director then quickly moves past this parts and mini-exposure-shy from developing it.

There is a particular scene, where the Sam Ellis (Character played by Patrick Wilson) negotiates with a girl to have a sexual romp in his car. This particular moment is ironic because it comes moments after Sam discovers that he is under an investigation from the FBI for patronising the escort agency-a distressed moment for him. And given the scenario, one would expect “a lesson learnt” or perhaps “change of ways”, but still he engages in an intercourse with a character who is supposed to aid him out of his predicament. I laughed during this scene because of its paradox. While I laughed, I suddenly remembered a recent film I saw called (Addicted) starring Sharon Leal. But it also made me understand that the director subtly spotlights on “addiction” as a theme in the film, but never connects it to larger events like “Image” and public perception of a hero.

“Because I help people doesn’t mean I am better than them”: that was my best line in the film and the character’s admittance of mistakes which brings me to this because most people have heroes that they look up to-mentors-role models: respected public figures. But the film asks a bold question. Are role models supposed to be demi-gods in the morals department? Are they meant to be mistake-proof or bacchanal repellents? Of course the answer will vary, but if you ask me- I say a definite “No”. After all, they are humans-flesh, blood and guts.

Personally, I think one of the major successes of the film is that it tries to re-orientate our view of public figures and mentors from a definite white-black stand point to a more flexible tolerance understanding grey one. Here we have a respected public lawyer whom the public are rooting for to attain a higher political office-then he risks squandering his reputation by indulging in endless nights of intercourses. He risks the public’s confidence in him and should prep for backlashes and dwindling in support. But one thing I admire about the character, which is quite controversial now that I think about it is that he never for once expresses profound guilt and I admire the way he goes about it with utmost discreetness in the second act of the film.

Patrick Wilson is another underrated actor in Hollywood, no doubt. But his performance is a total opposite to the moronic weakling he played in “Zipper”. Lena Headey in the role of a wife isn’t convincing enough. Her character is an ambitious one, but her posture gives a feeling of the opposite. Tonally, the film is a dark dramatic one with mild doses of tension.

Zipper is directed by Mora Stevens.
Rating: 3 ½ stars out of 4.

I think a lot of fans see him as one of the ''best horror movie actors'', if not the best. I watched '' HOME SWEET HELL'' and I hated that movie honestly, I hated d role his wife played when she butchered one of d guys, d movie irritated me so much.

roqrules04:
Its just cool

alright,I'll take ur word for it, I'll see it soon.

Springz:
Yeah it was quite good, I didn't really like the ending but not withstanding....
