The Score so Far

Ok in about 2 months I have reviewed about 40 films (short films and TV series are considered to be films as well. Thats not a bad score. Ive prob seen 10% more stuff but have forgotten or neglected to review it. Of course Im not even counting stuff I have seen previously.

Taking into consideration that the TV series are an hour each for every episode I guess Im doing pretty well. Also I have been shooting pretty much all the time since July. So I guess if by October I can hit anything between 80-100 that will be awesome but I dont think that's likely.

60-70 is a more sensible number given the shooting commitments I have lined up. Still it's been fun. :-)

Update

So many films....So litte time to write reviews

Anways

1) Love is the Devil (Awesome)

5) Martin Scorsese's Journey through American Films (Fucking Awesome)
6) Cube (Good)

Next up will hopefully be the "Bourne Ultimatum" review.

Cheeni Kum

Cute little film. Could have been a classic though with some more work on the script.
Also the first half in London was great but the Delhi part was frankly boring and expositional.
Slick looking film though. The DI looked nice but I edit was quite choppy. I could feel the cuts which aint good news for a Romantic film. But a fine debut.

Aeon Flux

Piece of shit. Dunno what the guys who made this were smoking but I hope I never get to sample it. No redeeming factor at all. The script was so awful and the acting was the pits. What a waste of 90 mins. Still it was better than Ultra-violet though. God that was an awful film.

Sunshine - Danny Boyle

Pretty good film but the climax is kinda cheesy. Cinematography is exceptional though. I have to say though that the film is a bit bland. I think Danny tends to loose the plot when he gets huge budgets eg "The Beach". Cillian rocks as always.

Neo Noir Festival

Watched 3 cracking Neo-Noir Films back to back. Man I so love Film Noir with their femme fatales and twists in the tail. What was really great that none of the films were from America. 2 were slick procedurals while one was a snorter of a Brit Gangsta flick.

1) Tattoo (Germany) - My fav of the 3. Slick urban thriller with a fab climax.

2) Gangster No 1 - If you thought that Paul Bettany could only do romantic/comedy roles u gotta watch this film. He's amazing as the psychotic and ruthless gangster.

3) Tell Me Something (Korea) - Good film but would have been much better if half and hour had been chopped off. Too many indulgent and introspective shots. Still a worthy effort.

Update

Been busy shooting so havent had time to update the blog but I have been watching stuff on and off. Lotsa TV in fact.

1) 3lbs Season 1 (Good)

2) Rome Season 2 (Awesome)

3) Sex and Lucia (Awesome)

4) Flesh+Blood (Good)

5) Over There Season 1 (Good)

6) Split Second (Ok)

7) Ratatouille (Best Film of the Year)
