Ex Machina (2014)
Oscar Isaac Saves Ex Machina !
No doubt that the writer/director Alex Garland is talented regarding his previous titles as well as this one, but unfortunately the multiple plot-holes plus the story's details inconsistency makes Ex Machina an enjoyable ride but with no destination.
And here is the strange thing about this movie that we saw happened to few others before: its dialogue is fantastic, although its script is weak. The movie's idea itself is not new, but the intelligent conversations in a well-executed cinematography environment forces the viewers to connect instantly with the screen.
The delivery by the actors were above average, but no one can deny that the charismatic Oscar Isaac with his well prepared character details and concentrated performing makes him the main reason for me to consider Ex Machina as not bad as it could be. By the way, I think that his saying of line:"Okay ... Fu**ing Unreal" while he walks towards the camera near the end, makes it the most brilliant and innovative quote in the whole movie.
Lost: Namaste (2009)
When Kate asked Jack: "So ... What are we supposed to do now?"
Namaste is another episode of LOST, that's why it is very good, and no one can deny that. But really: What are we waiting to happen next? Is the show become just answers to the questions that appeared during the later seasons? Do the writers since the idea of "We have to go back" trying to stretch in the LOST existence?
In Namaste it is clarified that the story becomes nice to follow to know the answers of the Island's mysteries, and to know How would Jin and Sun back to each other?, and Who would marry who from the four lovers at the end?, but there is no main concentration, there is no main problem in the show anymore.
I felt the same as Kate when she asked jack: "So ... What are we supposed to do now?", and I am asking the writers the same question, "What are they and you supposed to do now?", I hope you don't answer me like Jack did to Kate by saying: "I'm not sure yet".
Lost: The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham (2009)
Terry O'Quinn: Award Winning Performance
From the beginning of the fifth season, and due to the many strands of the story, the viewers didn't get a chance to watch a one-character-show focusing, which used to be in the previous seasons. In this episode the viewers will get the chance, and Terry O'Quinn will get the chance to shine...
Terry O'Quinn was relaxed, confident, and he didn't try to rush his scenes with a plain performance with no feelings like others in the series do. He got a chance to have a whole episode for only John Locke, and he didn't waste it. The acting came powerful, natural and touching...
The episode's script has many memorable lines, and its development was smooth and smart...
