Sporadic film reviews by a wanna-be filmmaker
Category: Film
MAPS TO THE STARS [2014]
Directed By David Cronenberg. Written by Bruce Wagner (screenplay). A very pleasant surprise to see this earlier than I was expecting. After Cosmopolis, which I enjoyed despite its many flaws, this multifaceted movie lifts the basic themes from Cronenberg’s previous effort and melds them… Continue Reading “MAPS TO THE STARS [2014]”
THE INFINITE MAN [2014]
Directed by Hugh Sullivan, Written by Hugh Sullivan Now this here is one a trip of a movie. Made locally in my home state of South Australia, it does a fantastic job of managing a meagre budget, using basically one or two sets, and… Continue Reading “THE INFINITE MAN [2014]”
THE LITTLE DEATH [2014]
Directed by Josh Lawson, Written by Josh Lawson Starring: Bojana Novakovic, Damon Herriman, Josh Lawson Now this one is certainly not for the conservative-minded, nor is this for the prudish viewer. At all. This movie will shock, but not in a conventional ‘shock value’… Continue Reading “THE LITTLE DEATH [2014]”
FELONY [2014]
Directed by Matthew Saville, Screenplay written by Joel Edgerton Starring: Joel Edgerton, Jai Courtney, Tom Wilkinson After a slew of successful (if not to my taste) Australian TV shows (most notably The Secret Life Of Us, where Joel Edgerton also got his start), directer… Continue Reading “FELONY [2014]”
GONE GIRL [2014]
Directed by David Fincher, Written by Gillian Flynn (screenplay, novel) I didn’t know anything but the basic plot of this one, and it is a pretty basic plot, but hell it is deftly handled. The entire movie keeps you guessing and takes turns you… Continue Reading “GONE GIRL [2014]”
FRANK [2014]
Directed by Lenny Abrahamson, Written by Jon Ronson, Peter Straughan (screenplay) I was disappointed to miss this at the cinemas. It was a fair wait but it was worth it. It said so many things: about conforming, whether musically or socially – the fear… Continue Reading “FRANK [2014]”
SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR [2014]
Directed by Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez. Written by Frank Miller (screenplay). So here we are: yet another sequel. A surefire recipe for box office success. As the decision has been made to stick to the stark, contrasting black and white colour scheme, to not… Continue Reading “SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR [2014]”
The Homesman [2014]
Directed By Tommy Lee Jones, Written by Glendon Swarthout (novel), Tommy Lee Jones, Kieran Fitzgerald & Welsey A. Oliver (screenplay) Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Hilary Swank, Grace Gummer, Miranda Otto, Sonja Richter and James Spader Well, colour me ignorant, I didn’t know TLJ had turned… Continue Reading “The Homesman [2014]”
LILTING [2014]
Directed By Hong Khaou. Written by Hong Khaou. This is the debut feature film for Hong Khaou, and being of Cambodian descent, I imagine this movie may be semi-autobiographical, though that is obviously pure speculation. This interesting little film (running on an insanely low budget… Continue Reading “LILTING [2014]”
