Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast kept the kids quiet for an hour and a half.  That's a win in my book.

Birdman. 8.5/10

Looks like Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's entering the territory of [director] John Cassavetes.



>>> Remember, on my rating scale, 9/10 is perfect and 10/10 is reserved for the classic films of all time.

What a waste of time. I could go on but I wont. Sometimes you have to upset people to make a good film.

Melanie Griffith hasn't looked that good in years.

As Cleo, that is.

Dune, with Sting and Kyle McLaughlin.  Boy did that suck.  And the DVD we got from the library was so scratched that it simply stopped halfway through and wouldn't play any more.  We thought it was so bad, we just took it back.

This is a great plot for a movie and somebody should really remake it without such cheese in the sets and low level technology.  With new CGI effects it could be so much better.

We just watched Paddington and I have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised.  I think that had a lot to do with Julie Walters even though she probably had the least screentime of the majority of the cast. She really is a marvellous actress.

Anywho, not much to criticise with the film and plenty of laughing out loud to be had from it.

7.5/10

Kyle McLachlan has one speed.  Stodgy.

I agree with you about the book (I've only read Dune).  He seemed to be well on the path to tyranny when the book ended.  I have yet to pick up the next.  I'm reading the Aeneid now, or at least trying.  I had to put it down to give myself a quick refresher in ancient Anatolian towns and various persons parentage.  It's easier with a scorecard, I think.

I'm plowing through Neverwhere right now (the 1996 tv series).  It's dated but sort of interesting.

I can't recall a decent movie with Kyle McLachlan in. Dune is much better left as a set of books, I think.

Dune appeals to me as it is there are a gazillion stories of the underdog travelling to the throne, but only Dune actually asks the question "what does he do next - turn into the tyrant himself?"

I'm still pissed off they cancelled Believe. Maybe it was Kyle that killed it.

I watched it a few days ago. The direction, performances and cinematography are OUTSTANDING. The direction and cinematography gave me an oppressive feeling (and that's a good thing regarding the movie BTW). The plot is what I liked the least. So much angst and self-torture and egotism made me want to slap some sense into most characters. Maybe that was the point?  :-\
I've read a critic (I like to read movie critics after I watched films) and it said it's "Godardian". I think that could be correct cause I kind of struggled through it.  ;D
What I liked best: Michael Keaton and Lindsay Duncan (she has a tiny role but she's fantastic!!).

That's been well reviewed.  Maybe we'll view it if we can locate it at the library.  It may be too soon.  Heard Keaton interviewed on public radio and he sounded like a nice unassuming kind of person.
