  • Dredd 2012

    ★★★½ Watched 09 Oct, 2012

    It's quite a short film 90+ minutes. Pretty much everything happens in the Peach Trees building with lots of shooting. The plot is pretty week. Basically some guy called Dredd running around talking to his gun.

    I really did love how they seem to keep a lot of things real, like the bike was a normal bike with some machine guns attached, cool!

    This film didn't really deliver for me. And its SUPER ANNOYED me that the visor on his…

  • Moonrise Kingdom 2012

    ★★★★★ Watched 20 Jul, 2012

    What a fun film. A visual feast of typography, record players, tape decks and old vehicles. Every scene so delicately composed with such detail and then combined with amazing camera movement and well timed actors it make is so fun to watch.

    I love these sets that were rich in color and decoration.

    The neat thing about Wes Anderson is that he has such a toolbox to solve problems. I feel so many modern films are shoot, add special effects. I think Wes uses a far lager toolbox to solve some of the many challenging scenes and makes them feel crafted and fun.

    ★★★★½ Added

    One of my all time favourite films. Shot on a low budget and you would not have known it. The cinematography is so cool. I love the shot at the start where that is looking at both the wife in the kitchen and the guys in lounge through 2 doors.

    The film is slightly mind boggling but it just keeps on getting better / worse. Its a must watch.
