25June-1July2006 :: This Week

01July2006 [directLink] [weekly]

  • watched The Society Murders; which strangely felt like propaganda for the victims’ family
  • watched Underworld Evolution; didn’t have the edge that the first film did; its backstory was well told, but the ‘present-day’ story was disappointing
  • watched Domino; surprisingly underrated, a really stylish, intense, well-made film; one for the collection
  • watched Secret Men’s Business; good Australian drama, but like most Australian drama, strayed into cliché on occasion
  • watched Immortal (Ad Vitam); fascinating piece of story-telling; mostly CG with some live actors, but the whole time it feels like the animation is simply a tool used to tell a fantastic story, rather than overpowering it
  • watched Woody Allen’s Manhattan from 1979; really funny and seemingly quite ahead of its time; shot all in black and white with some beautiful camera work; strangely feels like the urban equivalent of the camera work in Springtime in a Small Town, which I watched just last week, wondering how an urban equivalent would be shot
