Hit Me with Your Best Shot: Daredevil (season 2)
By s. | Tuesday, March 22, 2016 | Daredevil, Hit me with your best shot | 8 Comments |
(I'm up to episode 9, the shot I picked is from episode 6)
Daredevil as a show is a hit or miss for me. On one hand it's pretty much the only thing Marvel is currently offering that is not either boring, repetitive, overcrowded, messy or spends most of its run time on world building and increasingly stupid easter eggs. Yes, Marvel gave us Deadpool but even that didn't completely work with some of the jokes not landing and breaking of the forth wall being at times too much. So Daredevil with its brutal scenes, complex characters and apparent disconnect to MCU is a breath of fresh air and the best thing about it is that it doesn't feel like something from Marvel.

Hit Me with Your Best Shot: Atonement
By s. | Tuesday, March 15, 2016 | Atonement, Hit me with your best shot | 13 Comments |
Atonement is one of those movies filled with dozens of gorgeous and
iconic shots - I'm sure that silhouette of a soldier on the poppy field
or Robbie looking at the bodies of dead schoolgirls will get several
mentions here. I looked at a bunch of screenshots from the movie, some
truly startling, unforgettable images - like Robbie and Cecilia frozen
in passion against the bookshelf (echoed again as we see
her dead body floating in the tunnel), Cecilia engulfed in flames as
Robbie is being taken away or Briony peeking through red curtain. There
is so much symbolism hidden in this rich, wonderful and absolutely heart
breaking movie. But I chose the shot highlighting a moment, a scene and a
performance that I think goes largely under appreciated.
