IMDB rating: 8.10 Plot: Marty McFly is an aspiring musician, but he is not sure of what the future holds for him; first his band was rejected as the performing band for the school dance, and historically, no McFly has succeeded in anything. The only bright spots in his existence are his girlfriend and Emmett Brown, the town crackpot scientist, who is Marty’s good friend. Marty was helping brown with his latest invention a time machine, which is fitted into a Delorean. The time machine needs a tremendous amount of power to work, which he gets from plutonium. Now Brown got the plutonium from some Libyans who want him to build a bomb; they find Brown and shoot him, Marty gets into the Delorean and drives off and when he reaches the speed of 88 mph that activates the time machine, he finds himself in 1955, cause that was the date that Brown entered, which was when he first conceived the time machine. Now having already used up all the power of the plutonium, Marty must find a way to get it working, so he can go back to his own time. Marty looks for Brown but before he does, he runs into his father as a teenager, and accidentally interferes with his father’s first meeting of Lorraine, his future mother. Marty then goes to see Brown and convinces him that he is from the future and to help him. But when he learns of the amount of power that is needed to power the machine, he tells Marty that it’s hopeless cause the only other thing that can generate that much power is a bolt of lightning and it’s impossible to determine when and where they will strike, but Marty has with him an old newspaper cliping that states that the town clock tower will be struck by lightning, so they plan to draw the energy from the lightning so they can power the machine. But before they do, Marty must act as cupid for his parents cause it seems that because they never met they won’t fall in love and get married and Marty will not exist. |

You heard it from The Doctor first people :
STOP FINGERING THE WRONG WAY!
I can’t stress enough how cross he gets when you finger it the wrong way! (Well HE said it.)
Actually more annoying than any of this is the over-steering car gaff when the optical background is clearly just going straight ahead, but the actor deems it necessary to HEAVE the steering wheel round to the left or right to show that they definitely ARE driving the car.

I actually don’t notice bad musicianship so much. What gets to me is lousy fighting. As a martial arts student, I can’t help but wince when I see the likes of Uma Thurman pretending to be a skilled martial artist as in Kill Bill. Ha! Sure! Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate she did a pretty good job at training into a moderately decent level of craftmanship, but she’s nowhere near mastering any of it. I can see it from a mile away and really distracts me. The movie wasn’t that good either, anyway.
Another example: Star Wars episode 1. Stumbling Liam Neeson and even more stumbling Ewan McGregor pretend to fight against an absolute graceful master, and at the end they WIN! Because the script says so! What a bad joke!

Like I said before, they’re actors, they’re paid to act, we complain endlessly when singers try to act, such as Bowie (man who Fell to Earth wasn’t really a stretch for him), Sting, and Jagger, who no matter what time period they’re in, they still want to keep they’re 80s hair style, (Bowie in Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence), which I find even more annoying, than actors pretending to play instruments.

Interesting, no-one’s mentioned the pianist. Where The Soloist gets the editing wrong, The Panist gets it perfect, because Adrian Brody cannot play piano, but he mimes it perfectly (I can play Chopin’s Nocturne in C sharp minor,so I genuinely know.) And for shots of just his hands, they got proffessional piantist Janusz Olejniczak in, heavily make-upped his hands to make it look like he hadn’t washed in months, and filmed those gliding accross the ivories instead. The two are edited together seamlessly, making the effect 100% convincing. Let me know if you disagree. As well as piano, I play organ, arcorordian, and bass… bass guitar that is… does that count?

This post reminded me of Crossroads, with Ralph Macchio, which is pretty cheesy but I loved it when I was a nipper and I can remember thinking it was great the way the piece of music was like a character in the movie.
According to Wikipedia “Macchio’s fingering on the guitar was a studied acting job in itself because he didn’t know how to play guitar prior to taking on the part of a guitarist. He received intensive training from classical guitarist William Kanengiser of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet and Blues guitar Master Arlen Roth to approximate playing realistically enough to hide that fact respectably well.”
There’s a clip of the guitar duel on youtube. But it’s a spoiler if you’ve not seen it (and have any intention of seeing it).
