Observe and Report (2009)
If you laugh at Adam Sandler - you won't like this.
So, if you're used to Seth Rogan's films you'll probably expect a stoner comedy, written on rizla with all the wit and class of a billionaire US president...
However, this is a genuinely good film. It's dark - with an offbeat sensibility, but, I highly recommend it it if you haven't had a lobotomy and can appreciate a subtlety you won't often see - especially from it's lead.
It has a disgustingly low score here - probably because mouth breathers are expecting something like the cinematic equivalent of opium...this reminded me more of something akin to the Cornetto trilogy...you'll like it if you get half the jokes, but if you can pick up on underlying humour then I think you'll like it more.
Not necessarily a cerebral movie, but definitely above average and a hidden gem for those who have seen the same thing over and over from the likes of Happy Madison et al.
On Cinema (2012)
Visit to the Victorville Film Archive
So, firstly I'd like to say thank-you to Gregg Turkington for his hospitality at the Victorville film archive...the only film archive where you can enjoy one mans living room and half a century of celluloid.
Other than that, I think On Cinema At The Cinema is really dedicated to the true movie buff...but I think it may hold something for the more casual viewer.
It's interesting to compare notes and scores with Tim and Gregg, and I am often surprised by their candid interpretation of modern cinema.
Anyone, either a budding fanatic, a casual fan, or even the media studies graduate who took your order last night, should check out On Cinema At The Cinema.
