Vibes of Macbeth : A Most Violent Year Trailer

Hey Marion and Fassbender, you've got competition. The new trailer for A Most Violent Year has echoes of the ambition of a married couple that recalls Macbeth. So before we see that film version we get Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. Feast your eyes,





It's a great trailer selling the drama and the chemistry between the stars. And maybe after the sort of failure of her Oscar chances somewhat with both The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby and Interstellar, Chastain might have found her vehicle for this year. Also I got a J C Chandor feeling in Original Screenplay.

Maybe 2014 is not going to be that underwhelming after all.

Favorite Performances '13 - Oscar Isaac Inside Llewyn Davis

In this space I will pay homage to the actors who gave performances in 2013 that moved and stunned me. These are the performances that I responded to the most and will remember, I think, for years to come.



If it was just for his beautiful voice this would still be Oscar Isaac's year. He not only sings but gives a fantastic performance in Inside Llewyn Davis.He's in almost every frame and the movie rests solely on his able shoulders. Playing an almost intolerable jerk who's really bad at life, is no small task. But Isaac keeps the audience riveted with his perfectly pitched performance, a slow burn of anger, exasperation, indignation and resignation. He accepts life at its most frustrating and we accept him as a new movie star.
