The Holy Man (Mahapurush) (1965) 7.5/10
The Guest (2014) 6/10
Extraordinary film.
Andrei Tarkovsky was one of the all time great film directors and his early death at 54 was tragic. F W Murnau was another one of the all time great directors who died early at 42. At least we have their films to see.
I saw "Conspirators of Pleasure" (1996), directed by Jan Svankmajer. Ir's a Czech film without subtitles or dubbing though that doesn't matter as there is no dialogue. Film about 6 people who play out their fetishes which are so outrageous that they give little offence. Humourous but also tragic as these are people unable to communicate with others and have empty lives.
Kamikaze (2014) 6/10
One wonders what was going through the producers' minds when they decided to make this film and why Nicole Kidman was chosen? It wouldn't surprise me if it gets included in the next Golden Raspberry awards.
'71 (2014) 8/10
I watched Men in Black 3 (2012). Although Tommy Lee Jones is again in this film as Agent K, much of the film has Will Smith (Agent J) sent back to 1969 and teams up with a younger Agent K played by Josh Brolin who is quite convincing as a younger Tommy Lee Jones.
It's a watchable film with Michael Stuhlbarg as Griffin the stand out character.
I saw Avengers Assemble (2012). Great for fans of super hero movies, but I'm not, so it was just a blur of non stop crash bang wallop special effects.
I watched Skyfall (2012). Of the Daniel Craig Bond films, this was the one I liked most.
Foxcatcher (2014) 8/10
Gone Girl (2014) 9/10
I resaw Doctor Zhivago (1965), very good David Lean though I wouldn't include it in his best films such as Great Expectations, Brief Encounter and Lawrence of Arabia.
I saw Adventures of Tintin - the Secret of the Unicorn (2011). Of the Steven Spielberg films I've seen, I rate this one as the worst. Steven Moffatt was one of the writers and there's a little nod to his Doctor Who writing when Haddock says "Geronimo".
