A Medium of Images: review: once (john carney, 2007)
http://amediumofimages.blogspot.com/2008/01/review-once-john-carney-2007.html
A Medium of Images. Being primarily a soapbox for thoughts, viewpoints, opinions, &c. regarding the cinema. Monday, 21 January 2008. Review: once (john carney, 2007). Every once in a while, however, you get a film like Once. Which undermines this viewpoint. It makes little sense to look at Once. This simple, intimate setup represents the totality of Once. Matt Reeves, 2008 - review forthcoming, but I will just take this opportunity to exhort you to run out and catch it on the biggest screen you can, now.

A Medium of Images. Being primarily a soapbox for thoughts, viewpoints, opinions, &c. regarding the cinema. Tuesday, 27 November 2007. Review: across the universe (julie taymor, 2007). Is far from a flawless film, but it is a film I can't help loving wholeheartedly, despite its sometimes glaring issues. Closest in spirit to Baz Luhrmann's. Across the Universe,. And, unlike in. Which only occasionally escaped the shackles of the conventional biopic formula, Taymor unleashes her imagination to the full, an...

A Medium of Images: July 2007
http://amediumofimages.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
A Medium of Images. Being primarily a soapbox for thoughts, viewpoints, opinions, &c. regarding the cinema. Sunday, 29 July 2007. Robert Zemeckis has had a number of unqualified triumphs (the Back to the Future. Trilogy, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? And the underrated Contact. However he has also produced enough drivel and mediocrity to cloud those achievements. Add to that the fact that the performance capture technique developed for The Polar Express. Too; makes a change from hearing the Requiem for a Dream.

A Medium of Images: review: beowulf (robert zemeckis, 2007)
http://amediumofimages.blogspot.com/2007/12/review-beowulf-robert-zemeckis-2007.html
A Medium of Images. Being primarily a soapbox for thoughts, viewpoints, opinions, &c. regarding the cinema. Friday, 21 December 2007. Review: beowulf (robert zemeckis, 2007). I listened, felt myself swept up. I knew very well that all he said was ridiculous, not light for their darkness but flattery, illusion, a vortex pulling them from sunlight to heat, a kind of midsummer burgeoning, waltz to the sickle. Yet I was swept up. In John Gardner's astonishingly good 1971 novel. The Lord of the Rings,. What w...

A Medium of Images: February 2008
http://amediumofimages.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
A Medium of Images. Being primarily a soapbox for thoughts, viewpoints, opinions, &c. regarding the cinema. Thursday, 28 February 2008. Wouldn't it be great it. Now imagine that you film an alternate ending where, say, one of the main characters turns out to be a monstrous alien witch-doctor in disguise, who slaughters the entire cast before raising their corpses as an army of zombies and taking over the world. This is only an example, but you get my drift. Finally, sit back and wait for people to start ...

A Medium of Images: the definition of "mainstream"
http://amediumofimages.blogspot.com/2007/12/definition-of-mainstream.html
A Medium of Images. Being primarily a soapbox for thoughts, viewpoints, opinions, &c. regarding the cinema. Wednesday, 12 December 2007. The definition of "mainstream". For a film with a budget of that magnitude, ultimately exhibits a sensibility aimed at a specific, niche audience - that it can be enjoyed on a superficial level by a wide audience, but only actually. By a much smaller subset of that audience. This is occasioned by my catching a screening of Robert Zemeckis'. And perhaps enjoy it for the ...
