Jigsaw9 6783 Posted April 17, 2013 Final Destination 2 Nothing special but it had some entertaining bits, so it was good for one watch (like the previous one). Might watch the other sequels later too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Des 289 Posted April 18, 2013 The Petrified Forest (1936) On could argue that the two main characters (played by Bette Davis and Leslie Howard) fall in love much too quickly, but it's actually quite charming in this film... in a way. One could also argue that Howard's plan was a bit too far fetched and unbelievable, but I think it actually suits his extraordinary character. Either way, everything else about this film is very good. The dialogue is superb: it's funny, witty, a little silly and perfectly timed. The characters are a lot of fun and the use of just one location for the greater part of the film doesn't get boring at all. Only near the end of the picture I suddenly realized this was the case! A lonely diner/tank station in the middle of the desert is always a great setting. Romance, crime, comedy, drama, there's lots of fun in this one. 8/10Like Someone in Love (2012) A very slow moving and very compact film. It follows the relationship between a young woman in Japan who earns some extra money as an escort and an old man living alone in a cozy apartment. The man isn't looking for sex however. When they first meet, they just talk... and talk and talk. There's some more backstory for both characters but I'm not going to spoil this. I think it's best to see this film without knowing too much about it.I enjoyed this film very much despite its sluggish pace. There are several scenes which could've been shortened immensely but it didn't bother me that much in the end. The connection between the two main characters works so well, it makes the whole film worthwhile. 8/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokage 5930 Posted April 19, 2013 Oblivion Whelp, I only really went to see it 'cuz haven't been to the cinema in like a month. I think I should've gone to another movie. Visually it's pretty amazing and all, but the story itself is just a total 'typical Sci-Fi' mess without any depth or interesting characters or anything. Also the last part of the movie sort of reminded me of 2001: A Space Odyssey in a bad way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Des 289 Posted April 21, 2013 I Confess (1953)Fun little Hitchcock film but it's far from perfect. Montgomery is magnificent in the leading role with superb acting and some of the plot developments are interesting... but there are a couple of flaws in that latter department. Some of the characters' decisions are... well, ever seen a horror film where the characters do absolutely everything they shouldn't do? I Confess is a bit like that sometimes. Some illogical events happen just for the sake of happening. The pace isn't always consistent either. Sometimes it feels too slow, sometimes it feels rushed. I'll leave a positive rating for this one though because there definitely were some really good parts and Montgomery manages to save some of the otherwise very mediocre scenes. 6/10 Dark Passage (1947)It looks like this one has grown to cult-classic status and I can understand why. It's basically a b-movie with rather absurd events and an inventive but not a particularly witty script, but it draws you into their world anyway. The film is very entertaining to watch with two big stars in the leading roles, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, as they were both fantastic. Bacall more so than Bogart actually. While it isn't an unforgettable film by any means, its entertainment factor is certainly very high and will probably leave most viewers satisfied. 7/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Des 289 Posted April 22, 2013 Heaven Can Wait (1943)It suffers a little bit from a few melodramatic moments that change the tone of the film shortly but as a whole this is an incredible film! It could be best put in the 'romantic comedy' category and while this genre has been overloaded with mediocre and forgettable stuff, this is one of the hidden gems. The beginning and ending scenes are especially great and there are several other moments of genius throughout the film. The timeless comedy (mostly present in witty dialogue) is genuinely funny and I really recommend this one. 8/10Also, it was filmed with early technicolor which gives the film those vibrant, warm colors. It looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Des 289 Posted April 28, 2013 Oblivion (2013)A surprisingly good and very nicely crafted sci-fi adventure. It suffers a little from some of the lazily written dialogue... especially those conversations between Tom Cruise and Andrea Riseborough and another small point of criticism might be the dull orchestral score that is supposed to make certain moments in the film more 'epic' while it really was quite... well, dull. Lastly, one or two of the action sequences were too long. But this is partly forgiven thanks to the great action directing during these scenes. When something gets destroyed or killed or when something crashes into the ground (which happens more than once in this film), it's actually very easy on the eyes and easy to follow because the scenes aren't too 'flashy' and you get a very clear view of what is going on. The shifting between different camera angles isn't as rushed as you see in many other films. Thumbs up for this. I like it. Everything else about this film is good to very good. The CGI landscapes, thunderstorms, buildings, robots and other vehicles are all very effective and memorable for a change. It's very stylish and often shines thanks to the simplicity of the carefully created designs. In other words: this film is pure eyecandy and I would rank it as one of the greatest looking films of the last few years. I know this is a lot of praise but I honestly believe they did an awesome job. Tom Cruise, while he shouldn't be ranked as a top actor, did an excellent job and the rest of the cast was quite simply: good. Andrea Riseborough however has to deal with some of the earlier mentioned lazy dialogue which results in a slightly 'underachievement' by her but that wasn't her fault. She couldn't do all that much with the role she was given. Many folks on the internet try to hammer down this film with a 'predictable plot' statement and even claim that everything has been 'stolen' from other films. While Oblivion does indeed reference to some other science fiction works (such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, the low-budget Moon and even the very mediocre epic Independence Day) and combines certain plot elements it still feels refreshing. A couple of plot points were indeed very predictable but it didn't bother me at all because the excellent presentation overshadowed this. The events are paced just right. The plot is very engaging even if it isn't the most original storyline. Several details are beautifully placed throughout the film. It's a wonderful experience. Oblivion is a great science fiction adventure like we rarely see these days... with a great deal of CGI put to GOOD use. Would watch again. Highly recommended! 8.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jigsaw9 6783 Posted April 28, 2013 The Lords of Salem It's hard for me to form a rational opinion just yet, because I've been waiting so long for this movie. Nevertheless, I was a bit underwhelmed but I wouldn't call it 'bad'. The music, the visuals and the atmosphere that the combination of the two brought together was spot-on, that's for sure. It was good to see Patricia Quinn in the cast too (as a delightfully sinister/mystical person). Definitely gonna watch this a second time tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
