WHEN ANIMALS DREAM
Danish werewolf film that reminded
me of GINGER SNAPS in its linking of the onset of puberty and female sexuality
to lycanthropy and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN
in overall vibe and the ending. The
narrative was slightly disjointed at times and also illogical (Why didn’t they
just leave the town they lived in?) but overall ambitious, creative, and interesting
with a good performance by Sonia Suhl.
THE DEN
At first this felt like the
gimmick running the show and it’s a good gimmick – The whole movie is told
through either an online chatting site or a webcam. The reaction by the police and her friends
seemed illogical to what was going on around the heroine and the pacing seemed
off, rushed at times, but then the last half hour kicks in and it turns into an
online version of HOSTEL with some quite good action/scare scenes. 76 minutes long and it’s a tad rough in
places. I would love to see what a
better director could do with this clever idea.
THE TRIP TO ITALY
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon
in a sequel to THE TRIP (which I gather is edited from a TV series) . Better locales than the first film but much
of the same jokes. Yes, Michael Caine
imitations are funny as is the man in a box but less so with repetition. I laughed a bit and I liked it overall but I
hope they come up with some new material if there’s a third film/series.
