Nothing much to report at the moment. So just a few thoughts on some films I've seen these past two weeks.
Downfall. - brilliant. Wonderful. Best film I've seen in a long, long while. It's about the last week or so in Hitler's bunker before the end of WWII. You see the people around him altenating between despair, defiance, and hopeless denial over their situation, the film following them right to the German surrender, days after Hitler's suicide. All the actors are superb. Truly. I was left with a lump in the throat because it really does bring home what a horror war is.
Good Night, and Good Luck. - very good. Credit has to go to David Strathairn who was just incredible as Ed Murrows. You couldn't take your eyes off him. All about the days of senator McCarthy and his campaign to root out the communists. It sent a genuine chill down the spine; talk about witch hunts. One of those films that genuinely makes you think long after credits have rolled.
Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-rabbit. - Dude, it rocked. To be honest, it wasn't as good as some of the shorts. The Wrong Trousers I think is still the best one so far. But in any case, this was great. Bunnies!
