HANNIBAL

What's the saying? A horse made by a committee is a camel. This is that camel's shit that landed on the sandwich in front of someone at that meeting's plate which was then cannibalized by another, more troubled sandwich who came up with a movie j...

Funnygames

This one is being remade as we speak. Well, it's in post. And, we're not really speaking. What I find most interesting about the remake, and there's not too many things that are interesting about remakes, is that while I was watching this, I kep...

Pan's Labyrinth

I don't think I'm going to say anything that hasn't been said about how good this movie is. It gets a little more graphic than I expected, but it doesn't take away from anything. The camera work was very good, there's one shot that's soft to the...

Thequeen

Beato knows his shit. This is what we need more of. Not a bunch of nonsense, straight shooting, especially when dealing with subjects such as royalty, where it's enough that we're sitting there looking up at them already. No need to doll it up an...

Killerdoll

There's little to say on the shooting of this documentary other than my usual stuff about the 90's glut of docs that shouldn't have been made because they look so terrible. Here, they're using reasonable definition cameras, pd-150 or, more likely...

Smells

Wow. What a piece of shit. Regurgita non grata. Anyway. More to the point, it looks like shit too. Dick Pope knows what he's doing. Much of his period work, like 'Topsy Turvy', was more than fine. Nothing remarkable, but as you may know, that's ...

98m

Criterion put this out and as always did a bang-up job. The transfer looks clean, titles are well-designed and the sound is crisp. It's a strange movie - some say it parallels the two stories - that of a poor girl of a proud father who falls in...

]]> "Notes On A Scandal" offers notes on how it's done. tag:vox.com,2007-01-18:asset-6a00cdf7e1f15b094f00d09e4e27cebe2b 2007-01-18T03:55:19Z 2007-01-18T14:08:41Z Wesley Dumont http://wesleydumont.vox.com/?_c=feed-atom

Notes

When I watch something like 'Notes on a Scandal', it can sometimes take me a minute to really enjoy the experience. My problem is I'm just worn out by everyone trying to do the same thing, shoot with the same lights, frame the same way, make the...
