Well this post is going to an evolving post, as I scuttle my thoughts to make some cohesive sense. Blogging has taken a back seat to personal matters, but here I am back again and hopefully just in time for an influx of good movies. Something lacking since Christmas, okay I might be a little unfair with that last comment but to be honest there has been nothing recently released that has excited me enough to want to even express my views.
Die Hard 5 was a major disappointment, a film that has totally lost touch with what a decent Die Hard movie should be. John McClane has been reduced to a simple cardboard cut out superman. The guy can now understand fluent Russian when reading a crib sheet on his estranged son on a flight to Moscow. I love Die Hard but really bury the franchise or go back to 1,2 and 3 and a make McClane more every-man again.
Oz the Great and Powerful was a light breezy affair that kind worked and delivered on its promise. It wasn't completely satisfying but it hit enough beats to quell my hunger.
Kiddy movies, The Croods , Rise of the Guardians entertained as did Jack the Giant Slayer. But nothing really wowed me. Same old same old.
Roger Ebert died and we mourned his passing a man whose humanity and courage and film intellect enlightened , entertained, and educated. May he rest in peace.
So I'm back, I'm aiming to see Oblivion and I might add a post concerning some great retro movies worth a look on Blu ray. So come back and lets shoot the breeze.
Oh a few months I mentioned that I would post a blog about my views the HFR, well that will appear shortly but in regards to a recent documentary I watched on I tunes regarding celluloid vs Digital cinema photography again watch out for that post which will appear shortly.
