Barry Lyndon 1975, PG)
Suspect this is 'how it really was'. No other film even pretends to catch the flavour of reality of the past. |
|
| 11 |
Excalibur 1981, R)
A whole world in itself. A short history of ideas and the perils of putting them into practice. Too too long, and some of the overdone violence makes it grueling. |
|
| 12 |
Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes (Aguirre, the Wrath of God) 1972, R)
Feast for the Eyes, tho it may rob your soul. |

Radio On 1979, Unrated)
Totally mesmeric record of a lost place and time. Ordinary people, ordinary places made magic. |
|

Walkabout 1971, R)
Disjointed tale of dislocation. Quite wound me up before bed, which is always unwelcome, but now I know how little personal satisfaction is offered in it, I want to see it again purely for the documentary aspect of seeing aboriginal acts portrayed outside the hackneyed documentary format. I guess the people i it are relatively real. Jenny is lovely but awful, and embarrassingly harsh and rude, a beautiful voice but encrusted in nasty attitudes. |

Moliere (Moliere ou Le comedien malgre lui) 2007, PG-13)
|

Tim 1979, PG)
Shows how people not in a hurry can be comfortable at close quarters, and in that, v unusual. |
|
| 24 |
The Banger Sisters 2002, R)
A bit better than Pretty Woman, actually about ten times better. Even the unlikely relationship between Suzette and Harry is quite touching. |
|
| 25 |
In Her Shoes 2005, PG-13)
watchable all the way through, intense almost too real and shocking but funny too. A One Off, a great saturday night! |
|

Taste of Fear (Scream of Fear) 1961, Unrated)
If I were a filmaker I would study the camera man's technique in detail. They don't shoot them like this anymore. A calm reflective drama, ravishing imagically! Great setting, actors, plot. Crap title obscures a masterpiece. |

Mission To Mars 2000, PG)
in my very humble opinion one of the best (entertaining) films I have seen this year. It even has a plausible theory of life included. |
