Film Fest...

Tue Feb 5, 2008, 5:11 PM
i had my own little film fet today... featuring some old films and some new...

the day started off with John Boormans EXCALIBUR... a film i've not seen in ages and decided t owatch again to inspire my tired mind...

after that i dived/dove/THESAURUS!!! into the recent BEOWULF, which although i still think Ray Winstone was bizarre casting and teh horses looked funny, was great, and teh overall look of the fiml was mind-blowing... apart from those horses... and "AH'M 'ERE TA KILL YA MONSTAH!!!!!!"

... not in the slightest bit Danish-sounding!

last but not least was CLOVERFIELD... which *ahem* i found online...

there was a chaps heid in most of the picture in the bottom left but other than that it was watchable and the sound was awesome...

overall i liked it but it did, much like The Blair Witch Project, stretch the point of beleivability a bit... some of what was filmed, to me, wouldn't have been in a REAL situation, especially the bits involving the military...

but hey... the most eye-popping special effects since the first time i saw The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen or Jurassic Park... phenominal...

anyhoo... i feel after all this vegging infront of the idiot box with a cluster of shiny discs that i have found some inspiration to do some photos and maybe *maybe* (with some help from Tom at toms-art) some painting!

slange!

Here was me thinking this was about the Glasgow Film Festival!

I would recommend seeing Cloverfield in the cinema. I'm usually hyper critical of films but I really enjoyed it. Not enough to see twice though. I thought the military bits were pretty good. What didn't you like about them?

i just thought that in a real situation like whe ntheyre in the make-shift hospital, they'd be forced to stop filming... but i suppose it had to be in the film...

kind of took it out the reality they were trying to sell...

saying that, i have watched it a second time and did enjoy it more...
