I am a huge fan of true stories and I like to see the movie and then read the book, and compare and contrast the differences. The book explains a lot that the movie keeps you guessing at apparently John Du Pont was an undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic ! The performances make this movie! Steve Carell is unrecognizable behind the makeup and hawk nose even his voice has changed! His background needed to be explained a bit more I think a voice over narration from Channing’s character Dave Schulz would have helped a lot. He did write the book after all! This movie is disturbing as it really makes you understand that money doesn’t buy happiness also the depressing fact that everyone has their price at which they can be bought!Like the reviewer says below Bennett Miller (Moneyball,Capote) is an Oscar nominated director,but the pacing isn’t perfect here some silent scenes of wresting are too long and a little boring.With more editing and some narration at the beginning this could have been a perfect movie ! There still should be Oscar nominations for all 3 leads , and I continue to admire Mark Ruffalo for his acting choices. Haven’t seen him in a bad movie yet. Steve Carell,like Robin Williams and Jim Carrey before him has shown us his dramatic range.
This is a movie about unhappy people ,the only one who is comfortable in his skin is Dave Schulz, Olympic champion, and wrestling coach extraordinaire. Dave Schulz in the movie is oddly devoid of personality or a sense of humour but he has both in the book. John Du Pont says that Dave is his only true friend and that could be because he is the most boring man on the face of the earth.
This is a very thought provoking movie that had me thinking for days . I give it 3.5 out of 5 as it is too long otherwise would be a 4 .This will probably be the only wrestling movie I see in my life!
My Dad and I went to see this at the theater primarily because it was Robin William’s last live-action film . His last movie,Absolutely Anything, in 2015 will only feature his voice. I enjoyed the first one ,still haven’t seen the second one but didn’t ever feel like they were must own dvds.. With this one I do! There are celebrity cameos that very pleasant surprises, and Rebel Wilson has a delightful role as the British Museum’s Night Guard and she flirts with Ben Stiller by saying I could have been a supermodel if only I didn’t love pizza so much !
The new character of Lancelot is really well played by Dan Stevens, and there are some great sight gags! The museum director, played by Ricky Gervais, is always fun and he should have a bigger part. There was a planned spinoff of the Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan characters but this idea was scrapped with Robin Williams death. The movie is dedicated to both him and Mickey Rooney, who also died earlier this year at grand old age of 93
The whole audience was laughing a lot and it is a great popcorn movie for all ages, Not going to win any awards but is perfect for a holiday weekend when you just want to relax and giggle! I give it 4 out 5 !
Christmas is right around the corner and what better gift to give than the movies! There are so many different directions you can go when giving movies! You can try to introduce someone to a new genre of films that they might not normally watch or raise their spirits with a great comedy. Maybe wow them with a Bluray boxset! The possibilities are endless. We invite you to listen in and find out The 5 Movies we would give as Christmas Gifts and as a bonus Christmas gift for you we also have lists from the great people from The Ultimate Movie Geeks Community on Google +! You don’t want to miss out on these great movie gift suggestions!

The first shot of the movie shows a man at his most vulnerable and we quickly learn why. He desperately wants to be respected as an actor ,not just asked Didn’t you used to be Birdman? This is perfect casting as Keaton’s most iconic role was Batman 20 years ago and his roles have decreased as he got older. Riggan Thomson is directing and starring in a play by Raymond Carver that could get respect from the critics if he could just get a great lead actor. An incident on the set sends the current lead to the hospital and he says why can’t we get Woody Harrelson or Michael Fassbender? They are in hot projects . A difficult but excellent actor Mike Shiner is suggested by lead actress (Naomi Watts) This actor is perfectly cast as Edward Norton has a reputation of being brilliant but demanding and being fired from being a superhero (the Incredible Hulk) it is hate at first sight for these two, but the tickets all sell out the opening night is a full house, so there is no way his stage manager (Zach Galifinakis ) will fire him. He was the biggest surprise , playing completely against type , and the most sensible one in the cast.
His adorable,cool, bored assistant is also his daughter played by a blonde Emma Stone. She and Norton have sizzling chemistry in a couple scenes.
Both preview nights go wrong but a bad night when Keaton gets locked out of the theater ends up with him streaking through a crowd with very little clothes desperately trying to get back in and going viral on Twitter! He got the fame he wanted,even if it was in a humiliating way!
This movie is totally unpredictable, a blast from beginning to end, a satire of both actors, and the theatre world. This movie is not for everyone , it has strong language and is a black comedy and I was surprised to see 3 guys get up and walk out 20 minutes into the movie! I think if they had stayed 20 more minutes they would have liked it better.
I do hope it wins a few of the 7 Golden Globes it has been nominated for and I give it 3.5 out of 5 .I would like to see Keaton in a lot more roles.
Once again we have to thank our great movie loving friends for becoming part of the show and sending in their picks for Top 5 Disaster Movies and giving us more great movies to talk about! But that’s not all! How does Guardians of the Galaxy and Gravity stand up on the small screen, Jeremy sees “The Rock” as Hercules for the first time. And finally we try to decide which will be a bigger disaster San Andreas or Terminator Genisys? Remember Upon Further Review is all about you! and If you want to be a part of the show don’t be shy just call the voice mail # 260-573-0015 and we’ll play your list on the show or email us at: moviemadnesspodcast@gmail.com you can also post them to Twitter, Facebook or the Ultimate Movie Geeks community on Google+
