Film Reviews

I finally got around to watching 'Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End last night', I don't know why I never watched it before! A masterpiece of lunacy, I will have to watch it again to catch the bits I was laughing over! Monty Python on acid!

Everything Lynch has done is amazing, Watch Inland Empire another fantastic film

And of course if a fan of Lynch and you haven't watched add Twin Peaks to the list

Very surprised for a big budget film the american distributors and wouldn't insist on an American actor like Pitt/Di Caprio to draw in the box office crowds in the States. It'll be interesting how it does in America seeing as they won't be painted as the saviours in the film. I think it'll be all the better for not having any Americans in the cast.  I suppose Nolan has enough credibility built up from the excellent Batman films and Interstellar/Inception to get American financing without having to have big American box office draws in the casting.

looking forward to seeing it. My mother's father was evacuated from Dunkirk and I'm looking forward to seeing how his account tallies with the film.

Is this just a remake of the Richard Attenborough film?

They hadn't but American servicemen were allowed to volunteer to join the British. It isn't beyond the bounds of possibility that Americans were present among the British expeditionary force.

Anyway, had it recorded after it was shown on TV3 a week or so ago and watched it last night as there was dick all on tv. At least 20 mins footage i have never seen before. Obviously a directors cut or whatever. i.e. they spend at least 10 more mins with Miles Dyson than in the other cut I've seen. Another scene shows Arnie instructing Sarah how to access his CPU in his head and to cut him open etc. etc. The few extra scenes actually help make the whole thing much clearer. Was almost like watching a new film

Scene with the Dog is very well done, The way his face turns when he realises that they had tricked him.

The directors cut of the First Terminator is also brilliant fills in gaps in the story plot too, as in why did they go towards the factory also a little more backstory and character depth to both Sarah and Kyle.

A scene were just after they slept under the bridge they are walked back up and Kyle falls to his knees and starts to cry while touching the grass and goes on a speil very similar to the one Sarah does in T2 while being questioned in hospital. Sarah manages to calm him down saying their must be a way to stop it  they discuss a little about how Skynet came to be, later on another scene just before the sex scene were Sarah calls her mother* she looks up Cyberdyne in the phone book and shows this to Kyle when he returns.

I believe these are on you tube would recommend watching them as I said adds a lot of the backstory which they kidn of just glossed over, to obvious keep the tempo of the movie up.

It comes at night

The trailer makes this out to be a mystery thriller horror.
You realise from the start that people are sick with a disease, but you don't how it has happen. In fact you never find out and nothing comes at night. Nothing. The best part was getting a burrito beforehand.

Thought it was very good as well, but the pacing of it was a bit off and could've been 10 or 15 min shorter I thought. Overall, very good though, with 'biblical' a good way of describing it. The action was incredibly well executed and the rendering on the CGI for the apes was almost flawless imo.
