Filmspotting is back to their normal schedule this week; however, they start off with a review of A Single Man, a film only available in select big cities. Needless to say, Adam and Matty operate out of Chicago, so reviews like this come along now and then. When it comes down to it, the strongest element of the movie is the lead performance of Colin Firth while it alternatively breaks down when it comes to the writing of the supporting characters.
Instead of listener feedback, the guys double up on top fives this week, covering both the top five lead male performances and top five lead female performances of 2009. Capone of Ain’t it Cool News joins the crew for the proceedings, as usual, adding a bit of spice to the increasingly similar choices of Adam and Matty. Each of the lists have their fair share of mainstream and arthouse picks, so keep your eyes open and check out some performances you may have missed.
