final video production diary for the first Hobbit film (and other adventures in social networking)
Stuff my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Month: November 2012
Great Expectations (London Film Festival review)
I love it when a film that is “supposed” to be all stuffy and classic turns out to be this electric and alive…
Laurence Anyways (review)
A ridiculously overlong and self-consciously “arty” mishmash of baroque cartoonishness and moments that, to all outward appearances, are determined to be parodies of pretentious filmmaking.
Sightseers (review)
Finds dark humor in brutal bloody murder: a delightful surprise of wicked, outrageous hilarity…
Trouble with the Curve (review)
Poor Clint Eastwood! He’s a Gran Torino old coot in a Moneyball world…
The Hunt (Jagten) (London Film Festival review)
The mass hysteria surrounding child sexual abuse has never seen as compelling or as cautionary an examination as the tragic mess this riveting Danish film delves into.
Doctor Who thing of the day: Australian fan builds TARDIS bedroom, forgets bed
Though perhaps this is more a matter of bad writing on the part of the Daily Mail, and not a miscalculation on the part of the fan…
The Fitzgerald Family Christmas (trailer)
Would be nice to have a really good Edward Burns movie again…
question of the day: What fictional characters need their own Christmas album?
And what songs would they sing? Traditional tunes? Or their own new (or merely previously unheard) songs?
London photo of the day: gift of Marmaduke Lancdale Esq.
I think Marmaduke’s gift is going unappreciated of late…
