I recently saw Macbeth with Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard and directed by Justin Kurzel and is easily my number 1 film of the year so far. While the Shakespearean dialogue may be hard to follow at times, it doesn't matter as this film is a visual masterpiece and not only i the way of shot types but also in the use of colour (which the end scene uses in a truly jaw dropping sequence). The cinematography in Macbeth is truly something to marvel at and is perfectly accompanied by magnificent performances from the 2 leads and also the rest of the cast. Fassbender was born to play this role and portrays Macbeth in a powerful and emotionally engrossing way and Cotillard is a beautiful and faultless Lady Macbeth (she has a great monologue in one scene which gave me goosebumps). Another element that I loved was the score, wonderfully haunting and powerful and matches the scenery and setting of the film. Overall, Do. Not. Miss. This. It is spectacular and I've probably hyped it up too much now but what ever its great. If I had to fault it I would saw that there are some iconic lines from the original play that aren't used in the film which was disappointing but it probably wouldn't have fit with the tone so maybe it was for the best.

Mad Max: Fury Road is 100% THE best action movie this year. Every aspect about it is perfection from the magnificent cinematography which captures gorgeous wide shots of car mayhem, to the snappy editing that doesn't have 7 billion quick cuts in a fight scene to hide the fact that there are stunt doubles. Another thing that stands out is the unbelievable effects, there is little CGI in this film and mostly what you see is what you get. You see that car crash in to that car and do a barrel roll and explode? Yeah well that bloody happened. George Miller who is a 70 year old man who has somehow managed to create a fantastic action film coming off of Babe and Happy Feet 2 and gifted us movie goers with a film that should be rewatched for yearz. Not to mention the amazing but subtle performances from Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. However Nicholas Hoult steals the show with his amazingly crazy and also human character. I can't wait to get my hands on the blu-ray and witness (ME) the bright vibrant colours and dolby surround sound. This is an absolute must see for anyone.
