Here's my list of all the films I've seen in cinemas this year, with short comments on all of them. First there are almost 40 feature films, then short films and specials (like the Doctor Who Christmas ep).

I've been moving a lot of titles up and down the list, so their placement is approximate, rather than absolute. And as always, this is a ( Read more... )

 I actually saw Civil War way back on the 28th, but I haven't found the time/energy to write down my thoughts properly before.

To quote what I said on Facebook: "Just got back from Captain America: Civil War, and if you're only going to see one action-packed adventure this spring, I really recommend The Jungle Book. "

Which sounds a bit harsh; ( Read more... )

I made a list of my favourite films of 2015. Then I meant to make a list of the worst films, but it turns out I haven't seen any downright bad films. So now it's a list of faves, followed by some recommendations, followed by some other comments on movies. Most of it is under a cut, to spare you the length.

My top ten:

1. Liza, the Fox-Fairy

Friday, I watched two important things: The Haven finale and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Thoughts on the Haven finale:

You know that scene in MFU where Gaby finds out she has to pretend to be Illya's fiancée and she goes: "No, no, no, no, NOPE!"

That's pretty much my reaction.

 Having just returned from Lund International Fantastic Film Festival, I thought I'd (as usual) share my opinions on the movies. Since there are quite a lot of them, it's just the features in this post, and I'll add the short films in another.

Hello Yuletide writer! Thank you so much for doing this! I hope the fandoms I've requested won't be too difficult for you - just enough to make the job interesting. :-)

I'm pretty easygoing when it comes to stories - any pairing and rating is fine, and I have a soft spot for character studies (which my requests probably show). I don't mind a bit of ( Read more... )

 So, I saw some films on the second weekend of Flimmer Film Festival as well (and nothing inbetween, which means I missed "Grandma". *sigh*)

Short films:

This time, the selection was for films by Swedish female filmmakers, which obviously means a smaller pool to choose from, which means... well, not quite as good.

Fannish summary of the last month or so:

I can't have escaped anyone who has followed me on either Tumblr or Facebook that the new reboot movie of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. is the latest fandom to swallow me up whole. (Initial Facebook post and my various Tumblr posts.)

I swear, that film is sheer fandom bait. It's like a bunch of fic tropes got ( Read more... )

I made a Tumblr post with my thoughts on Ant-Man, mostly concerning Hope Van Dyne's part in the film. Thought I'd link to it here as well. (Those of you who follow me on Facebook have seen some of it.)
