Romão 2,274 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It's not my favorite Lynch, but it left a deep impact on my childhood. And it's the best kind of period piece: it is shot without overstating we're in the 19th century, like it was indeed shot in the 19th without having to use the usual establishing shots of how London looked back in the day. It is shot like the 19th century was the present time. In that regard, it is similar to the Prestige Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 455 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Peeping Tom It's really quite ahead of its time, in terms of terms of voyeurism and sexual overtones. It's complex, dark and doesn't take the easy way out. Despite the vintage setting, the movie is still pretty relevant in context. The needing to share, the needing to document and photograph everything in real time. Fine performances by Carl Boehm and Anna Massey. Brian Easdale's score is unusual, evocative, and ominous. It's definitely not Michael Powell's most accessible film, but he went out on a high with Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just watched Age of Consent the other day, not really a great film but typically entertaining in his sort of eccentric way and pretty to look at. And Helen Mirren!

Simon McBride 113 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Kubo and the Two Strings Simple, but good. I basically had the whole movie figured out as soon as the second act started, but I still enjoyed it. Ivan's Childhood This was way hard to watch and I didn't really get it. I'm sure it's an awesome movie, but I did not enjoy watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,350 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 The Internship. Pff, boring. Cheesy. Cheap. Waste of time. I liked the protagonists at the beginning, but my dislike and irritation with them grew after 20 minutes and I really disliked them at the end, didn't even want them to succeed. I did like Rosa Byrne and Neha, which incidentally is a nice name. The 'bad guy' was unconvincing and felt like a forced necessity rather than an addition. His character was too ridiculous to even call ridiculous. I mean, really, what kind of an intern would behave like Graham? Seriously? Christophe Beck's score was functional, but, as usual, nothing special. A reference to John Williams' Quidditch or Harry Potter music would have been nice during the 'Quidditch' game, but I'm probably hoping for the impossible here. The Fame music at the end was nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Apparently this is the most successful New Zealand produced movie of all time. How nice, because it's just splendid! Five minutes in and I was thinking, ugh, this isn't for me, especially on a Saturday night, but then the wonderful subversions began and what continued was a little cracker of an adventure. In fact it's probably the best unlikely pairing buddy movie I've see since Midnight Run. Very funny, sincere, warm... and mad as hell: this is exactly my kind of comedy. Deserving of discovery.
