Starry Night (1999)
Avid Merrion must have copied this guy!!!
In a word amazing.
This movie is highly entertaining and the guy who plays vincent van gogh is no less a genius. He sounds exactly like the guy from bo selecta apart from when he goes astray and starts to sound irish. I watched this film twice in two days it made me laugh so much. I think this movie could one day become a cult classic.
The idea that van gogh would come back from the past is an amazing concept and i think the writers tackled the subject very well. I was captivated by the acting and the fact that they showed his original work in the movie was a great idea. It does make you think what would Van gogh do if he was alive in the present?
Festival Express (2003)
Musical masterpiece
Just caught this movie by the off chance at the Toronto film festival, it was a masterpiece. The era was so well captured throughout this film. The movie evokes emotion and although the film is about sheer indulgence in the rock star lifestyle, partying on a train for a few weeks , it seriously made me want to be there to experience the summer of 1970 across Canada. The live festival appearances by the grateful Dead, Janis Joplin and The Band are a joy to watch and spliced with the footage from the journey across Canada it makes you feel like you want to jump straight on to the festival express and start the party all over again!
Donnie Darko (2001)
Intelligent and entertaining
This is the best movie I have seen in a very long time. As a connoisseur of films of substance this one surely suited my taste. This film combined the right amount of humour with darkness, and I was brought up and down emotionally at every turn of events. I was waiting on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. This was an unpredictable film, and the turn of events kept me interested throughout. The acting was of a very high quality and Jake Gyllenhaal was well cast as the character of Donnie Darko. The plot intertwines well and I was left with a lot to think about. The only downside of this film is the ending. As the film is so enthralling up until the end you are left to linger with a disappointing ending that you wanted to answer some more of your questions. Its subtlety does not quite fit with the rest of the tone of this movie. This has to be one of my top ten movies
