Last Film You Saw

The Addams Family (1991)

Funny in places, very 90's, not the the best story line but entertaining enough to stay engaged. Christina Ricci as Wednesday is the stand out.

6/10

Addams Family Values (1993)

Similar to the first one, very 90's, better storyline this time and entertaining enough. Slightly better than the first movie. Christina Ricci is the stand out again.

6.5/10


Watched them both as I'd recently watched the newer animated one (also 6/10).
 
Dark horse on Netflix, it's a documentary film about a poor village in South Wales and they breed a horse to race, against all odds it's a good horse and almost goes to the very top. Heartwarming true story which beggars belief, loved it.

Great 70s disco soundtrack too including The Jackson Sisters title track.
Always recommend this one to proper football fans of a certain vintage.
Another recommendation (although also quite a few years old) is ‘Marvellous’ - the story of a kit-man from Stoke City. If by chance you haven’t seen it - and it’s been recommended on here many times - then do, it’s a must see.
 
Watched the BFI re-release of Seven Samurai. Great film, really enjoyed being able to watch it on the big screen.

Kurosawa's direction is amazing and it always strikes me watching his films that i've seen them copied in modern films.

The French Dispatch. 7/10.

I think if you're not used to Wes Anderson films, this one might be a bit too much to swallow. I think Anderson may have out Anderson'd himself a bit, over egged the dead-pan pudding so to speak, at times having almost cliche-like qualities to it. It's got all the Wes Anderson signatures; beautiful colours, great sets and weird camera shots, dollhouse like buildings, dead pan characters, endless famous faces, snappy lingo and that strange lack of emotional depth (which i think some people really dislike without realising it's happening).

Anyway, my main gripe is the story which while clearly being set up as an anthology is a bit hollow. It's a series of shorts basically, hung around the concept of going through a fictional newspaper supplement so there' some padding in between the main 3 shorts. I dunno, I really appreciate the fact that not all films have to be shot in the same familiar style, so this is a welcome diversion from the norm, plus it's a nice idea for a structure but i think it doesnt quite come off. Some commentary on the creation of art is quite interesting but overall this is not Anderson at his best.

Haven't seen this yet but I'm a big fan of Anderson, never mind the storyline, just bask in the photography :)
