Let The Dark Knight In
'Let the Right One In' was a beautifully shot Swedish movie and it is a coming of age flick rolled into a vampire movie genre. There is some fantastic work from the kids, who make it so believable and the setting itself adds to the charms of the movie. It is slow and melancholic but it never feels boring. Worth checking it out if it gets released in cinemas or comes to a DVD store near you.
I watched 'The Dark Knight' on the imax screen . It is a crime drama more than anything else and it is brilliant for most part. Heath Ledger lights up the screen everytime the Joker comes on and it is nice work from everyone else. And the city feels so real. To me the only weak point was the 2-face aspect which could have done with a little more 'turn to the dark side' syndrome. A must watch regardless. I had sore eyes coming out of the movie because there is so much information to take in when you are watching it on a massive screen. I might go and see it on a regular screen again, just so I can get some distance between the screen and me to enjoy the movie fully. Needless to say you have to watch this movie on the big screen to appreciate it.
Unkreative Artists has signed a deal with VUDU, to provide not only it's two movies for US VOD but also to provide more feature length kiwi docos and dramas to them. This is an exciting development as it means more exposure to kiwi movies overseas and I get to be a part of making things happen. More details on this as in coming weeks but if you are a local film maker who wants to gain access to the US market for relatively no cost should drop me a mail. I have started contacting film makers whose work I enjoyed and now just preparing the press release and all other stuff to take this wider.
It is hard to believe that the week is already over. Got 3 more movies to watch and then it is the end of the movie watching mania for the year. There is a weather forecast for extreme storms over the weekend in Auckland and I am not looking forward to the weather even though I am looking forward to a little bit of rest and sanity.
Till later,
Amit
