WeatherGirl‘s been busy recently and caught up on some film and event reviews. I’d been meaning to say something about some of these and haven’t had time, so I’ll point you to her excellent words instead!
- Sideways: I think I liked the film more than she did, but not so much as to explain the enormous buzz (critical and Oscar), especially when Kinsey got so much less attention.
- King Arthur (on DVD): So much possibility, too much unrealized. Kera Knightly is so cool, as is the battle on the frozen lake.
- Hide and seek: I figured out even less than WeatherGirl (although I felt like I should have figured it out) and was thoroughly creeped out. Not as good a film as, say Sixth sense, but very high on the raw scary meter.
- Kinsey: I could write a book about this, but won’t. Really good film about a very important person, and powerful portrait of the kind of passion and commitment (and accompanying myopia) that is involved in seeing a major (and controversial) project like that through.
- Turn of the screw: Very cool play nicely done. Remarkable how much breadth and depth they got from such a simple setting and a fine two-person cast. Kudos to The Acting Company for a truly fine production, and to PAC for bringing it to Morris!
Thanks to WeatherGirl! (Even if she drags me to creepy movies like Hide and seek which clearly shorten my life expectancy :-).)
