(Vince Collins, 1982)
Weird 'Alice in Wonderland' interpretation, it's like the short acid version and you can find it on YouTube. I haven't got much to say, other than it kept me strangely captivated for its four minute running time.
(Alfred Hitchcock, 1955)
I know a few members on here love this, so I had been wanting to check it out for a while. A romance disguised as a murder mystery, it's a delightful film that has a lovely warm, even British, feeling to it. The murder plot is an excuse for a lot of great comedic scenes and odd interactions between characters that are delightful to spend time with.
(George Dunning, 1968)
Another weird animation that feels like its on acid sometimes, the story is pretty pointless. But it's a great excuse to spend an hour and a half listening to my favourite band, some great songs, and the animation with all its strange style is fascinating to watch.
(Anne Fletcher, 2009)
Decent romantic comedy. Not as bad as I expected it to be, like a lot of these films, the plot is at times incredibly silly, but I actually enjoyed the main performances.
(Mike Leigh, 2014)
There is so much about this film that is pretty much perfect. The performance by Timothy Spall is, the sets and costumes, the cinematography etc. However, the story and editing lets this one down for me. I really wanted to love this, but I just couldn't, it's far too long and needs to be more focused. Anyone on here will know I am not usually one too moan about 'long' or 'boring' films, but I didn't really get the point of this film? I'm not sure what was meant to be captured, we touch on different aspects of JMW Turner and what he was like, it's a nice glimpse, but a more focused plot could have had me truly gripped and loving this film.
(Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
I posted about this in the rate the last movie you saw thread, I saw it in the cinema with my brother who I paid to get down to Cardiff with me as he had never seen it before, I couldn't let him miss it. He absolutely loved it as did I. This film was already one of my favourites, but seeing it at the cinema took it to a whole new level of enjoyment. There was a mixture of young people like me, and older people who had seen it back in '68, everyone stood up and applauded when it ended. There were so many sequences that gave my the goosebumps, the music is absolutely brilliant and adds to the epicness of the whole thing so well. My brother knew nothing about the film apart from HAL, and I don't think he knows so much now, but as he says, it's okay. It's a fantastic experience with so many brave scenes, there are so many questions raised that you just sit there in awe at what Stanley Kubrick had the genius to attempt.
