Bohemian Rhapsody- 9/10

I really enjoyed both movies, but I don’t know how you logically award Best Actor to the the actor who lip-synced his performances, while snubbing the actor who wrote some of and performed all of his performances.
This will be looked back on poorly.

Fighting with My Family 7.5/10
Fun movie with some good laughs. I don't watch WWE, so I probably would have liked it more if I knew who the main character was. Shows it is a good movie if you can enjoy it without knowing who it is about though.

Bohemian Rhapsody - 8.2/10
Love Queen. Solid flick. Minor deductions for bullshitting some of the story.
Now, the actual live aid performance? Holy shit. Take notes bitches, this is how you own ......

Horrible.
"We saw it…. the hussars let loose their horses. God, what power! They ran through the smoke and the sound was like that of a thousand blacksmiths beating with a thousand hammers
They rush on to the Swedes! They crash into the Swedish riters…. Overwhelm them! They crash into the second regiment - Overwhelmed! Resistance collapses, dissolves, they move forward as easily as if they were parading on a grand boulevard

I saw the preview for the new Frozen and the only thing I could think is "WTF is this?"
I'll watch it because I have a 4 year old...

The live aid performance was amazing. For the movie they recreated the entire performance. It's supposed to be an extra on the Blueray.
I love my wife.
It is, and it's amazing.

Yea, and i think that is why he won best actor. Missy and i were talking about how much studying he had to do to really nail down that particular performance. Malek did such a great job with this.
That's What it Does!
I remember waaay back when this movie was announced Sacha Baron Cohen was set to play Mercury which would've been interesting, but when he backed out and Malek took over I was excited because I was always a big fan of Mr. Robot and thought he matched Freddy's stature more physically.

Lords of Chaos- 7/10
When it comes to black metal i didnt get started into that genre until about 1997 and my first introduction was Emperor and Dimmu Borgir. Both bands were different in that they incorporated a more "symphonic" element into their music and vision of black metal. While i was quite aware of bands like Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Burzum none of those acts really ever appealed to me. In fact, most of the traditional black metal that is out there just isnt my real cup of tea outside of a few bands here and there that i have come across over the years. Never the less, the scene itself was greatly influenced by Mayhem and company with not only the music they created but the strong ideology that seeped within it in paganism and satanism. For most who are aware of Mayhem they have a long and troubled past as a band which is what this movie centers itself around and its creator guitarist Øystein Aarseth aka Euronymous.
Lets be clear here, Lords of Chaos while being based off the book with the same name really only touches on the more sensationalism of the acts of murder and destruction by some of the members involved with these acts. Everything from the suicide of former Mayhem singer DEAD to the church burnings and eventual murder of Euronymous himself. A couple of names to note in the film are Rory Culkin (brother of famous McCauly Culkin) and Jack Kilmer (Son of Val Kilmer) lead this cast of misfits. From an acting perspective i thought all of them did a pretty good job especially Emory Cohen who did a great job of portraying Varg Vikernes. As i stated before, the early forms of black metal never really ever appealed to me although ive found certain songs from that era that i dont mind but if there is one thing that often turns me off about black metal is some of the pretentiousness and elitism that comes from it. It often times can take itself far too serious from its band members down to part of the fanbase itself.
While i do not know how accurate each individual is portrayed here it does seem that Euonymous while being one of the inventors and creators of true Norwegian Black Metal it would also seem that he was more of an imposter in terms of how "kvlt" he really was within the scene. The movie characterizes Euronymous as an opportunist who not only used the suicide of singer DEAD to promote his band but often took liberties to steal the thunder of the church burning acts that Vikernes committed during that time. When it comes to Vikernes its no secret of how damaged and ****** up he was or even is til this day (He has put out a series of videos slamming this movie). The disappointing thing about the movie is it spends less time on music and more of just the outrageous acts that took place which i suppose is fine since that is probably what they were going after but for those who understand and have followed the black metal scene know that this portion and time of black metal was just a very small part of it and doesnt speak to the scene as a whole. Black metal has evolved as a scene in terms of the sub genres created out of it and doesnt nearly take itself as serious as it once did albeit from a more personal perspective with the band members themselves.
I do not know enough about the early black metal scene to know how much of what is portrayed is true or not but judging by what is presented it would seem that Euronymous comes across more as a hipster/trendy guy rather than a true innovator. Or as the movie likes to play upon he came across as a "poser" vs the real deal. The movie is still enjoyable but fair warning some of the violence is very graphic so prepare yourself. For now the movie can still be watched on Youtube with no cost but how long it will remain up i have no idea.

A Star is Born 8/10
Predictable but good story and great performances by Lady Gaga. Cooper wasn't bad either.
