Marvin's Room (1996)
Over-all I liked it!
I watched this film last night (20th Nov) on S4C a local welsh channel & it's been a long time since I've been on the IMDB (Just started a film studies course) so I here's my thoughts:
The film was interesting. It seemed to me, very arty & adult family orientated and I've seen other film just like this: "The Straight Story" is one that comes to mind, and in fact I think "the straight story" is pure genius. However this film had an incredible depth of emotion.
The only flaw in the film is the ending. This film doesn't really have one.
I definitely recommend it. Just don't expect anything too flashy.
The Matrix (1999)
Very Slick Film
If you go into this film with no expectations then this film is visually THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN. Keanu Reeves kicks butt bigtime.
However the plot is a bit twisted, I wont spoil it for everyone, but the matrix is a really creepy idea.
Nevertheless, if when you go to the cinema you want to see "goodies" beating "baddies" this film won't disappoint.
The Air Up There (1994)
Cool film but not great.
I liked this film a lot.
Not Kevin Bacon's best work (in fact he's rather poor in this film) but the supporting cast are great. The locations are brilliant, the action (mostly basketball) is fine.
I would definitely recommend this film to a friend!
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
I hate this film
I've been forced to watch this film many times by Kim Williams. I have to say that this film is so over hyped, (By Kim Williams) that I now think this film is complete rubbish. People that I've talked to about it say "It's a portrayal of life in an unthinkable situation". I think its very badly done.
There's one scene where the audience sees down the aim of a gun and George Romero points to someone of every race. I think by this scene he's trying to show that the disaster would affect everyone. But the characters are so sterotypical it's almost sickening. I hate this film.
Friends (1994)
I really like this program
Cool show, very Funny. My favourite character is Chandler. The early shows of friends are much better than the latest stuff because it has almost turned into a soap opera. The early shows you could sit down watch an episode, miss the next episode and still be able to watch it. But just recently developments in the characters relationships means that it's too easy to loose the plot. GREAT SHOW THOUGH. I thoroughly recommend it.
