The Life of David Gale: This was a film a friend online recommended I should watch. It was an interesting film. It did however feel like something was missing. It’s an engaging mystery/crime/thriller, though if you’re like me, you’ll end up questioning parts of the film. I’m a Kevin Spacey fan, so I did like the film […]
Film Log
Logs of movies I’ve watched.
Movie: Stand By Me (1986)
Stand By Me: I must be missing something fundamental in this film – I thought it was badly acted, or at least, badly directed for the actors, and not really very interesting either. The story is a bunch of friends go out on a trip to find the body of a boy who has gone […]
Movie: The Apartment (1960)
The Apartment: The premise of this film is a bit weird. The main character, C. C. Baxter is a young office worker, who is trying to rise the ranks in the company he works. This plan is on the back of the fact that a few of the upper executives use his city apartment as […]
Movie: No Country for Old Men (2007)
No Country for Old Men: I wasn’t sure what to expect out of this film, I am not a massive fan of the Coen brothers, though I do like some of their films. I did, however, mostly enjoy this film. The dialogue in parts was difficult for me to understand, and I had to switch […]
Movie: Watchmen (2009)
Watchmen: The first film I’ve seen in the cinema since The Dark Knight. And it was good. I do think that people who have not read the book might be rather confused with this film – if they’re expecting real superheroes and stuff, perhaps. Obviously, there is one real superhero, but even though he is […]
Movie: Cool Hand Luke (1967)
Cool Hand Luke: A film that showed the life of a small prison, with the main character being ‘Luke’ (played by Paul Newman). It’s a difficult film to describe – it’s one that basically just needs to be watched… I enjoyed it, and the ending was unexpected, for me. i give it 8/10
Movie: The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)
The Adventures of Robin Hood: I assumed this would be a very serious kind of film, for some reason. I am glad it wasn’t. It reminded me very much of ‘Robin Hood: Men in Tights’. Of course, that film is a spoof of this one! Anyway, the action in this film was rather good, especially for […]
Movie: Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story (2005)
Family Guy Presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story: A rather silly film. I don’t watch the series, so there might have been a fair few inside jokes I did not get in this film. It was good fun, but, not anything truly special really. I give it 6/10
Movie: In Cold Blood (1967)
In Cold Blood: A book conversion of the true story written by Truman Capote of two criminals who killed a whole family in rural Kansas. I found the first 30 minutes of this film extremely dull to watch – I fell asleep in that time. I am glad that I perservered however. Also, as much as […]
Movie: Gone with the Wind (1939)
Gone with the Wind: An epic movie that everyone else appears to have watched. I thought it really was very good, and the main character, Scarlett was fantastically played by Vivien Leigh. Except one point, where she screams. The emotions in this film were all over the place, if you don’t shed a tear near […]
