What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

What does "too much acting" mean? Isn't that what actors do?

I caught up on some watching recently and saw:

August: Osage County (2013

I'm a huge Streep fan so it doesn't take much for me to watch one of her projects. I enjoyed the movie with it's themes of family dysfunction, addiction and death. Some of the critics complained that there was too much acting going on. I don't know.

It got a surprising 64% on RT. I thought it should have rated a little bit higher.

I quite liked it. There was no Nic Cage so I thought the acting was fine.

I reckon that they considered it too much like an onstage production.

I liked Osage County too. The acting was good and it was pretty funny. I'd have given it around 75 or so on the tomato meter.

Then "Doubt" would also suffer from too much acting? In fact there was nothing in the movie BUT acting.

As would I. Prolly closer to 80%.

Watched "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night". I didn't like it as much as I thought I would have but it's still great for a debut film.

Just saw this last night.


Liked parts of it, but not all of it. I think you know what I mean. There are some memorable scenes with some lovely tunes (nice soundtrack), but those are a bit too few and far between.

Just saw True Story.
I really liked it a lot, up until the ending.
Didn't like the ending at all

Just read this article the other night which touches on the making of the original The Gambler. It also talks about old Hollywood in a behind the backstage type way.

Finally saw interstellar. I liked it. McCoughnagheyhey is really stepping up his game. Thought he gave a great nuanced performance.

Soundtracks were pretty meh to me.

Was the drama taut?
