Network: To show how extensive my movie knowledge is, I initially drew parallels with Anchorman, and this movie. Not in a serious way, but, I just thought that Anchorman must’ve referred to this movie, when it was being written. 🙂 Anyway, I thought this film was excellent, the way it showed how much the media […]
Film Log
Logs of movies I’ve watched.
Movie: Stalker (1979)
Stalker: I found this film incredibly slow, and incredibly dull. I’m not sure how this counts as sci-fi or fantasy, as nothing really happens. I am ignoring the end scene, as nothing really happens there either. I give it 1/10
Movie: Good Will Hunting (1996)
Good Will Hunting: I first watched almost the first half of this film on an aeroplane from Washington DC to London in June. I have been waiting for a chance to see it properly since then. The film is about a young adult genius, who is also a grade A arsehole. He manages to be […]
Movie: Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Million Dollar Baby: I knew this film was about a boxer, and that Clint Eastwood had directed it. Somehow I had missed that Clint Eastwood also acted in it, and that the boxer was a female. I’m finding it tough to describe this film, even though I watched it two days ago. The final third of the […]
Movie: Rope (1948)
Rope: A film I really didn’t enjoy very much at all. I thought some of the acting was poor, the premise poor, and the characters irritating. James Stewart, was, however, still awesome. I’m not sure ‘mystery’ is correct in the genre, but, as IMDB agrees with it, I’m leaving it in. My first Hitchcock film […]
Movie: Rosemary’s Baby (1968)
Rosemary’s Baby: I was a bit disappointed in the synopsis of this film at Lovefilm. It gave far too much away, so I kind of knew what the film was all about before even watching it. I think it ruined the mystery of this movie. Anyway, this film is about a couple who move into […]
Movie: Be Kind Rewind (2008)
Be Kind Rewind: My goodness, what an odd movie. As I’m writing this, I’m watching the making of the movie… The main thing in the movie is films that are remade by Jack Black, and Mos Def. There are some really very good comic sequences in this film, but, there are also some really very […]
Movie: His Girl Friday (1940)
His Girl Friday: A comedy about newspaper men (and women). The film starts with a scene where the ex-wife of an editor at a newspaper (at least, I think he’s the editor) tells him she’s going to get married to an insurance salesman, and live happily ever after. I can’t remember now why she even […]
Movie: Roman Holiday (1953)
Roman Holiday: Audrey Hepburn’s first real film, apparently. And, she seemed a natural in it. The film is about a princess who decides to take a break from a hectic schedule while in Rome, and escapes for a day, and experiences life as a ‘normal’ person. It’s a very sweet film, Gregory Peck is fantastic […]
Movie: Dial M for Murder (1954)
Dial M for Murder: Another Hitchcock thriller. The film starts with a scene in a home, husband and wife, seemingly happy. We learn not long after that the wife has a lover. Initially we don’t realise that the husband knows, but, he does! He ends up planning a murder of his wife, but, things don’t […]
