but MACHETE which had its deliberate print damage in the beginning but after the credits, great pq and a fantastic film, though my girlfriend did look away a number of times at the violence while i was loving and laughing at it, so OTT imo its better than HOBO as well |

Yeah I thought the idea was quite clever, but like I say, probably would've worked better as one sketch in a sketch show. They stretched it a bit too far in the film, and events felt increasingly forced in order the keep the gag running . . .

Saw Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Thought it was incredibly well done. Amuses me that it keeps getting referred to as 'the Hollywood remake' when there's nothing very Hollywood about it; after the Oscar attention of Benjamin Button and The Social Network I'm glad he went for something a lot less compromising and more hard-going. Reminds you what a versatile director he is. A great adaptation of the source material and I really hope he does the other 2 in the series Also watched Kubrick's The Killing last night. One of those films I've wanted to see for ages and it did not disappoint. Excellent noir-y tone, wonderful plot and storyline and some fantastic camerawork (especially the shot where you see Johnny enter the Chess and Checkers building not realising you're watching him reflected in the mirror until the camera pulls back. Incredible stuff). Criterion did a hell of a job with the transfer too, although you wouldn't expect anything less really. Highly recommended. |

Me and Orson Welles My first Zac Efron film, and I bloody loved it . Of course, the main attraction here isn't the shiny song n' dance fella, but the towering performance by Christian McKay as Orson Welles. He gets the voice, mannerisms, arrogance, and charisma errily spot-on, and the film is a joy to watch whenever he's on screen. In addition to that, you get an ensemble of fine Brit character actor performances, my favourite being rising star Leo Bill as Norman Lloyd. The climactic production of Julius Caesar is thrillingly recreated, and really gives a sense of how innovative Welles' staging was to audiences of the time. Efron and Claire Danes are saddled with a highly conventional romantic subplot, but the good will generated by the rest of the film is more than enough to compensate. Linklater bathes everything in a warm nostalgic glow, and is a perfect sunday afternoon entertainment . . .
