Past couple of weeks I've watched...

Wolverine and Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. I'm going to say the same thing I said after watching Monsters Vs Aliens. Visual and audio effects, music, cinematography, all nailed in modern flicks.

What is invariable missing is STORY. Both these movies had bloody great big holes in their narratives. Was watching the extras on 'Revenge,' and George keeps making jokes about how the script isn't done, or ready, or 'hay it's finally here!'

You don't reckon!?!
It was bloody obvious that the script was the last thing that anyone thought about.
I guess it doesn't matter cause both these flicks were for the fan's who would have sucked up any old slop.

Other Films I saw were...

La Spagnola
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290867/


Somersault
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381429/
Both of which I really enjoyed. they were small stories, but riveting stuff.



Ice Age 3 is coming up and I've got a bad feeling bout this one.

Really enjoyed the first, thought the second was OK, but I don't know bout this last one.

Trailer for Story and Audience

I posted a 'write up' for a story idea that I developed for Story and Audience.

Here's the link to revisit it...

I mentioned that we were all developing short trailers for our films and here is mine...

The second week of Story and Audience trailer (better encoding)

So cute, it does my ed in.

Last night Popcorn Taxi had a showing of the doco, Bananaz.

Enjoyed it. Those guys have way too much fun.

That said, Damon Albarn regulaly getting a 'touch of the nerves' and

chucking up in the green room didn't look like fun ;-)

Q&A after with director Ceri Levy.

He spent six years compiling this piece.
