BATES MOTEL, S3 E8 – Post Mortem

THE PIT

SEASON 3, EPISODE 8 - EPISODE REVIEW

★★★½ - 70%

  • Freddie Highmore shines, with one of his seasons-best performances.
  • Yet, even his brilliantly tortured soul cannot save the clunkiness of this uneven episode.

Bates Motel

***SPOILERS AHEAD***


THE PIT, S3 E8
★★★½

Week after week critics muddle over the ideal plot direction of Bates Motel.
Yes, we know the tragic ending.
Yes, we have an unwritten obligation to the source material.

However, do we?
Moreover, should we or can we?
I know I'm speaking as if I'm one of the writers… Respectfully, my point is clear.

Are the writers obligated to follow the beaten path?
Is it necessary to judge Bates Motel, based on its ability to reference the source material authentically?

I yell, no.

Hannibal successfully deviated from the franchise, while still keeping the essence of the characters grounded. Bates can achieve that too, if they stop listening to us (the audience).

Episode 8 followed some powerhouse episodes and was not a great episode itself. Simply because the writers could not decide where to place Caleb and Dylan within the storyline. The consensus is that Caleb must die for his sins. The most provocative question is when will he die, how will he die and by who will kill him?

I applauded his reconciliation with Norma.

My anticipation for next week’s episode is fueled by potentially seeing the raunchy chemistry between Romero and Norma unfold. In addition, there is excitement to witness the chemistry between the tragic Emma and her hero Dylan.

Norman, predictably always breaks my heart.

Highlights: 
  • Emma & Dylan romance. I love that this destined for tragedy.
  • Norman / Norma bedroom confessional scene was beyond brilliant.
Lowlights:
  • The mystery behind the swimming pool/pit. It was simply unbelievable that a stranger could dig a large ugly hole in the front of the Motel and Norma would easily consent to it continuing, without seeing the plans.
  • Romero judging Norma for lying about her husbands cause of death. The ultimatum he gave her was a little forced and seemingly inserted into the script to create additional tension, which was unnecessary.
  • The Bradley (resurrection) in Normans mind – or she is actually back (which is deliberately unclear) I find her character underwhelming.

If you only knew how much I loved you
The sky would open up and shut from Heaven 
So come on up and give me your love babe
Tell me I'm the one you've been dreaming of
We're dancing in the dark, we're spinning in circles
I'll take you to the top when the beat don't stop
So sweet, all over
Tell me that you need me again!

I wanna take you high into the night
Like the stars in the sky, we could live our own lives
I wanna take you high into the night
Like the stars in the sky, we could live our own lives

If you only knew how much I refused you
Let on the way even though you're gone
Maybe you'd come back and show me the way now,
Don't leave me in the dark here on my own
Hang by a thread from the love that you're spinning
Somehow hanging on as it's falling apart
So sweet, all over
Tell me that you need me again!

I wanna take you high into the night
Like the stars in the sky, we could live our own lives
I wanna take you high into the night
Like the stars in the sky, we could live our own lives

I go to LOUD PLACES to search for someone
To be quiet with who will take me home
You go to LOUD PLACES to find someone who
Will take you higher then I took you
Didn't I take you to HIGHER PLACES you can't reach without me?
Reach without me?

I'm gone into old paces where we used to go
They seem so quiet now,
I'm here, all alone.
You gone to new places with I don't know who,
and I don't know how to follow you

(I take you, I take you higher
I take you, I take you higher
I take you, I take you higher)

Didn't I take you to HIGHER PLACES you can't reach without me?
Reach without me!

You're an ecstasy without me
When you come down,
I won't be around!

Did I just let you go?
Felt so wrong
I must have just hesitated
'Cause now you're gone

BLAME me for all this
Just run back through here
BLAME me for all this now
Just come back home to me

I couldn't just let you know
What I felt when he put his hands on you
I must have just hesitated
I know I saw too late to call

BLAME me for all this
BLAME me for all this
Just run back through here
BLAME me for all this now
Just come back home to me

It's like I'm living in a WASTELAND,
Of words I'm tryina' say, but they don't come out right
And I could be your friend
If you had anything to offer me tonight

I want a heart unbreakable,
So I can feel it all

It's like I'm living in a WASTELAND
Of words I'm tryina' say, but they don't come out right
And I could be your friend
If you had anything to offer me tonight,
but I am just a fool
'Cause I could be in love if I really tried
Holding onto something I can't see
So you can comfort me tonight

I can feel disaster falling on me
After sun comes up, you say goodnight
But I keep crawling over you for now
'Cause everything I feel is a WASTE OF TIME
Holding onto something I can't see,
Won't comfort me tonight.

I want a heart unbreakable,
So I can feel it all

It's like I'm living in a WASTELAND
Of words I'm tryina say, but they don't come out right
And I could be your friend
If you had anything to offer me tonight,
but I am just a fool
'Cause I could be in love if I really tried
Holding onto something I can't see
So you can comfort me tonight

I want a heart unbreakable
I want a heart unbreakable
I want a heart unbreakable
So I can feel it all!

It's like I'm living in a WASTELAND
Of words I'm tryina' say, but they don't come out right

If you had anything to offer me tonight,
but I am just a fool
'Cause I could be in love if I really tried
Holding onto something I can't see

If the mountains could be moved for you
And the ocean could be split right through
It still wouldn't be enough for you
It's true, it's true, it's true
If I told you sweet nothings every day
I'd trip up on every word I say
Once I'm closer you're still miles away
I pray at night, I pray

I pray that you come back to the one I can cling to
Wishing on a star that love will bring you
Back to where we were when I first met you
Even though we both know

That shattered glass broken on the floor
Is like my hand linking into yours
To get us back to where we were before
It's gonna take more than a miracle
Baby, your touch will never be the same
Only a higher power can stop the rain
For my blood to give any more
It's gonna take more than a miracle

For all the water could be turned to ice
You could be tired of the hands of time
There would be nothing that could change your mind
Well you're right, you're right this time

I pray that you come back to the one I can cling to
Wishing on a star that love will bring you
Back to where we were when I first met you
Even though we both know

That shattered glass broken on the floor
Is like my hand linking into yours
To get us back to where we were before
It's gonna take more than a miracle
Baby, your touch will never be the same
Only a higher power can stop the rain
For my blood to give any more
It's gonna take more than a miracle

I said I'm gonna need more, gonna need more than that
Yeah, I'm gonna need more, gonna need more than that
Yeah, I'm gonna need more, gonna need more than that
But you can't give me that, no, you can't give me that, yeah
I'm gonna need more, gonna need more than that
Yes, I'm gonna need more, gonna need more than that
I'm gonna need more, gonna need more than that
But you can't give me more than that

It's gonna take more, oh
It's gonna take more, oh
It's gonna take more, oh
It's gonna take more, oh

BLACK ATLASS

"I didn't want to be discovered or moulded 
into something I wasn't...".
- Alex Fleming

In The WEARY Chaos, is a Still Voice.

Authentically Canadian, Montreal’s Alex Fleming aka Black Atlass, understands that the world dies every time a new Justin Bieber is born. Not to disrespect or downplay Biebers success or his accomplishments, but in an industry that’s saturated with bubblegum chewing kids, singing on club tracks destined for venues they cannot enter, is beyond. 

At the start of his career Alex was walking on a dirt road, skipping the common YouTube path to a record deal and deciding never to post videos of himself singing cover songs. 
It would be like walking on pavement. It simply isn't an authentic experience, and the audience notices the dirt beneath your feet.

Hip-hop bass lines,

Abrasive electronics,

Ethereal - airy vocals,

Define chaos.

My first introduction to Fleming’s brass talent was when Louis Vuitton used his single, Paris in their ads. I remember feeling cold shivers the first time I listened to him dance with the classical piano then arrive at the dirty beat, with a rich bass drop.

His newest forte ‘JADE’ is a very naked album. Reminiscent of D’Angelo with a taste of Hip-hop thunder, that bites with electric teeth.

A Golden Affair

★★★½   Watch IT

Woman In Gold

Rating: PG-13 (for some thematic elements

Genre: Drama
Directed By: Simon Curtis
In Theaters: Apr 1, 2015 Wide

KILLER REVIEW

A potentially powerful affair becomes a simple walk in the park.

Helen Mirren expectantly shins as an elegant, tortured Jewish émigré, whom together with Ryan Reynolds walk through this predictable film. Such a powerful narrative and history wasted in an overwhelmingly  predictable script, penned by Schoenberg who consulted the expert input of British-Greek playwright Alexi Kaye Campbell. 
There was just enough magic to make me recommend this film - Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn) navigates best when presenting the flashback scenes. He moves awkwardly through the annoying and speechy present-day courtroom scenes. The suspense of Maria’s escape from Nazi-occupied Vienna jolts the film to life in the middle, and there are a couple of touching performances, from Tatiana Maslany as the young Maria, and especially Allan Corduner as her father Gustav, whose anguished farewell is far and away the emotional high point. 
Though Mirren is always enjoyable, the film seems to think that her mere presence as a wisecracking widow will be enough for us to forgive its lack of originality.

PLOT
WOMAN IN GOLD is the remarkable true story of one woman's journey to reclaim her heritage and seek justice for what happened to her family. Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, an elderly Jewish woman, Maria Altmann (Mirren), starts her journey to retrieve family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Klimt's famous painting 'Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I'. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer Randy Schoenberg (Reynolds), she embarks upon a major battle, which takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court, and forces her to confront difficult truths about the past along the way.
