Hans Zimmer Teaches Film Scoring
It’s been a while, so I’m sticking with the films I watched since the beginning of the month:
-
California Solo – First Viewing (Screener) – Has a decent performance by Robert Carlyle.
-
Bram Stoker’s Dracula – First Viewing (Cinema) – Despite being faithful to the novel, the film does come off a bit cheesy.
-
Jack the Giant Slayer – First Viewing (Cinema) – I had a good time with this one.
-
Tokyo Drifter – First Viewing (Cinema) – An interesting (and sometimes humorous) Yakuza film with many elements from Westerns
-
I Am Legend – Rewatch (TV) – Caught the film halfway through.
-
Stoker – First Viewing (Cinema) – Probably my favourite film of the year so far.
-
Cronos – First Viewing (Blu-Ray) – Definitely the most heart-warming vampire film you will ever see.
-
Geometria – First Viewing (Blu-Ray) – A hilariously grotesque early short from Guillermo Del Toro.
-
Another Earth – First Viewing (Netflix) – The sci-fi plot is more a mcguffin for an indie drama about a girl’s guilt.
-
Oz: The Great and Powerful – First Viewing (Cinema) – I very much enjoyed this film.
-
The Devil’s Advocate – First Viewing (Cinema) – Worth it for the “Crazy Al Pacino” scene.
-
Ocean’s Eleven – Rewatch (TV) – Still quite enjoy this film.
-
Vertigo – First Viewing (Cinema) – Decent enough film, though I somewhat disagree with Sight and Sound’s “Top Film of All Time” ranking.
-
Following – Rewatch (Blu-Ray) – Despite the 16mm roughness, it looks great on the Criterion blu-ray.
-
Doodlebug – Rewatch (Blu-Ray) – Interesting little early short by Christopher Nolan
