THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES:

The film the motorcycle diaries is a film that I really didn’t have any expectations for walking in to the theatre, besides the fact that I expected it to be good. As of recently I was scrapping this from my BP oscar predix; however, I’m still not convinced that it won’t do well, seeing as it’s probably the first film I’ve ever seen to recieve an ovation in the theatre. The film was not a masterpiece, but you could see the workings of one coming. The films major flaw was the first 30 minutes , it was slow to start , and some of the stuff could have been cut.
The story of the film is a beautiful tale of friendship and discorvery, between two friends during a cross continent journey. One of the reassons this film works is that there is a strong message from this movie , it’s not just Hollywood fluff.
Besides a few flaws the screenplay is brilliantly written, which fits in wonderfully with the gorgeous cinematography, and the two wonderful perforamances by Gael Garcia Bernal & Rodrigo de la Serna.
This is the first addition to my top 3 of the year since April.
9.5 / 10 stars

MR. HULOT’S HOLIDAY

Before my dad rented this I had never even heard of Jaques Tati, and this film is a beautiful film, not just a comedy. Some of the humour is a bit dated, but the films atmosphere more than make up for it.

9/10

ARSENIC AND OLD LACE

Perhaps the most entertaining movie ever made, especially because the well developped plot, with a perfect mixture of comedy and drama. The performances by Jean Adair and Josephine Hull make this film one of my faorite films of all time.

9.5/10
