2017 Film Log [August]

Probably going to be a slow month. INDEX

01. X-STORY [Short] (02.08.17)
This film takes bits from all over sifi and fantasy and some of the shots are very blatant. The story wasn't too bad but the ending was dumb and the end flash back was totally pointless. Very cool art style a bit too game like for my liking but it is high quality.

02. Kapture: Fluke [Short] (03.08.17)
A very cool animated short by Oats. Daft and over the top but the portal vibes are strong and that is a great style. I bet these guys will come back there is so much potential.

03. Logan (11.08.17)
What a end. Not every end is a comic book story but this one uses some of the best parts and brings a reality that is missing from many films. Comic books aren't a genre they are a medium and so this new wave of films is very welcome. Logan is a beautiful and violent film and they blend into a great story.

04. Batman: Gotham Knight (12.08.17)
A anthology of Batman animation by Japanese production company's. They each have a distinct style and solid performances. One or two lack in the story department but they are all solid. A very cool concept.

05. Room (13.08.17)
Dose the fact I found the second half harder to watch than the first say anything about me? A very disturbing film in many ways that other films ignore. The is a feeling of reality to the film and its handling of the story. Very good but not one to go back to time and again but I am glad I watched it.

06. Scott Pilgrim vs the World (14.08.17)
Some of the best shot hand to hand action on film. I love the use of editing and additional elements in the picture the style is very vivid. A comic I never did get around to watching. Edgar Wright can do no wrong.

Wow that was a slow month. Good films but not many of them. September should be better.
