Things To Come - As a screenwriter H G Wells was a fantastic novelist. For all its groundbreaking ideas and an excellent first 20 mins this film feels dramatically inert to me, especially in its flabby midsection where I lost track of the characters and nearly fell asleep. Things perk up a bit when the sci fi kicks in and the future city rises (or rather descends) but IMO the comparable Metropolis blows this out of the water - Lang was a visionary filmmaking genius, there's no such spark here.

Slugs......well it's a film about er.... killer slugs  Hugo......I enjoyed this film very much. I think it was because I am fascinated by the workings of mechanical watches which is the main theme of the film...Oops, just let my geek side out  Handyman Joe likes this. |

| Tower Block Good fun, like a council estate Larry Cohen. Didn’t pull its punches, and the action was varied enough to last the running time without getting dull. Most of the characters, while mostly stock types, had just enough character shading to make you care about their fates, and Sheridan Smith and Jack O’Connell were both very impressive in the lead roles. Maybe the final killer reveal was a little disappointing, but it wasn’t a major issue for me. Fine Brit thriller. Hitchcock I really struggled with this. There’s just no story! Famous director has a little trouble getting his film financed, but does, and the shoot goes by without any major incident. Director thinks his wife might be having an affair, but turns out she isn’t. Film does surprisingly well at the box office. The End! Not helped by the fact that Tony Hopkins’ awkward Hitchcock performance is blown out of the water by the vastly superior Toby Jones in The Girl. While that film presented a fascinating character study/assassination, this much fluffier film is content to present superficial pleasures, ticking off imdb trivia such as the censor not allowing Hitch to film a toilet. I did enjoy the bookending scenes, with the director talking to camera a la Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I wanted more of that inventive playfulness, though the numerous fantasy sequences with Hitch chatting with Ed Gein all fall flat. Not good. I, Anna I’ll watch anything with Charlotte Rampling, and though I’d read mixed-to-poor reviews, I found it a pretty decent drama. It all looks gorgeous, the director/cinematographer have a real eye for great looking shots. The depressing grey London Southbank is filmed beautifully. I’ve always had a problem with Gabriel Byrne as a leading man, but he’s ok here, though his gruff detective is as clichéd as they come. Rampling is superb as ever, another of her ‘enigmatic older woman’ performances, and easily holds the film together. Worth a watch.
