Orson Welles made Citizen Kane, which is consistently and correctly voted by writers on cinema to be the greatest movie ever made, when he was 26 and then spent the next 45 years in artistic decline.
So...there you have it. One of the joys of youth is that there are so many things you will still be able to experience for the first time.
Lake Tahoe [2008] directed by the talented young Mexican Fernando Eimbcke.
Initially a pretty mundane story about a young man who crashes his car and his journey to get it fixed meeting various characters along the way. About half way through though you find out the reasons for his apparent "spaced out" look and without spoiling the plot I will leave it at that but a lot of the camera shots and the main characters emotional state are reflected in the way the film is put together up to this point. Apart from a car shot the camera only really moves once independently in the whole film and the rest of the time its fixed with people wandering in one side of the screen and exiting the other side. I didn't like the "cut to black" shots much although I know some directors use them to show passage of time (in this case possibly emotional blackouts as well?) but after a while it started to annoy me. On the whole though I enjoyed it.
Didn't catch this last night, but I've seen pretty bad reviews. However anything with Amber Heard in is definitely worth a watch.Quote:

And at the same place, the 6 minute IMAX preview for the next Batman film (the Dark knight rises) was just awesome :)
So much so, that I bought the last batman for £5 at Sainsburys in order to prepare for the screening of the new one! I just hope that I don't get such bad vertigo as I did during Mission Impossible :)

Bought the boxed set of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl who kicked the Hornets nest. Includes bonus disc of the second trilogy, The Girl who prefered Lakeland Races, The Girl who favoured the Three Peaks and The Girl who couldn't give a monkey's which races she did as long as her sports bra fitted nicley.
Seriously though, half way through the first film, and very gripping, dark and gritty. Even has an English audio option so don't have to faff around with subtitles.
Great set of films, but Steve you aren't doing them justice with the awful dubbed english.Quote:
