On Screen: May 2008
http://on-screen.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
I've started a new blog, kinda like a personal diary but not. More a collection of found things and occasional bits and pieces that I've done. It will probably be rather kleptic, with what ever tickles my fancy. But I've got a good sense of humour, a great eye for design, so pop on over an leave a comment. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

On Screen: The Illusionist
http://on-screen.blogspot.com/2007/10/illusionist.html
The problem with a movie like The Illusionist is that it was preceded by a movie called The Prestige. The Prestige entertained us with a fast moving story of two duelling magicians, trying to out do each other, whist paying each other back for a perceived wrong in their past. Both The Prestige and The Illusionist are movies about magicians – showmen who use slight of hand and other optical tricks to wow the audience. But both movies are also very different. 2 comments to "The Illusionist".

On Screen: October 2007
http://on-screen.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Pan's Labyrinth is a wonderfully mythical tale set against the backdrop of fascist Spain, where innocence must grow up, challenge authority and fulfil her destiny. Ofelia is forced to journey with her pregnant mother to live with her new father, a man she does not know or trust. Set in the hills of rural Spain her new ‘father’ is determined to destroy the last vestments of the Spanish resistance and shows his true colours early on as he beats to death an innocent farm boy. But is it fantasy? Atonement st...

On Screen: Cloverfield
http://on-screen.blogspot.com/2008/01/cloverfield.html
Cloverfield is probably the most hyped movie of the summer, though most of the hype is probably just our own insane curiosity as to what the man behind Lost can do on the big screen with oodles of cash and presumably complete creative freedom. We’ve all seen the start of Cloverfield, the party scene with the hand held camera. It’s this style that runs through the whole movie, though somewhere along the way the quality switches from digital cam to high quality movie photography – jus...

On Screen: September 2007
http://on-screen.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Master Chief is back. It’s been a while, and to be honest I’ve never been a huge Halo fan, so I’m pretty much coming at Halo 3 as a novice. Humanity’s only hope? Sheesh, I’m not sure I’m up for that job description, but I guess I’ll give it a go. Conversations With My Gardener. Conversations With My Gardener. A successful Parisian artist secedes to take time out from his hectic lifestyle and a marriage that is on the rocks by retreating to the home of his childhood. With his parents having died a few...

On Screen: Sweeney Todd
http://on-screen.blogspot.com/2008/01/sweeney-todd.html
Dark, dirty, gothic London streets; tragic, bitter loss and revenge; a sliver of hope with the chance for redemption; strong male and female leads; high theatrical drama and spontaneous bursts of singing? That’s right, welcome to the musical of the year! Does the above description bring to mind anything else? Say, most of Tim Burton’s film catalogue? 2 comments to "Sweeney Todd". Even though I'd already seen a local production of Sweeney Todd by then, there was a time when I went to see the opera, The Ba...

On Screen: re:format
http://on-screen.blogspot.com/2008/01/reformat.html
Ok, so On Screen is back up and running. sort of. Because of the time and effort put into Film Guide. I just didn't have the time to keep posting my reviews over here as well, so On Screen was put to rest. However, I've decided it won't take too much time just to post each weeks feature film from Film Guide. So that's what On Screen is to become, a weekly film review blog, linking back to it's own offspring, Film Guide. 0 comments to "re:format". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
