The Hobbit in 3D and at 48FPS … until i watched this in was dead set against all 3D, id seen a few movies with 3D and always walked away entirely not impressed.
The Hobbit changed all that … quite simply if you havent seen the High Frame Rate version in 3D … go and do so … the clearest and best 3D ive ever seen by a long way.
The movie itself aint too bad either (i havent read the book … but i did read LOTR and was a fan of that)
Last movie I watched was “Shooters”, a UK film from 2002 that I just felt like dusting off and watching again. Still works as a gritty crime drama. One of my old faves.
Whatever is notable or not is determined by the audience. Just like it is with wine, there isn’t “the best”; and surely the pricetag doesn’t tell you anything at all about if you will actually like it. And that’s where the term “notable” comes into play, again; while it is nice to see one of your favourite films on a list some hack cobbled together for either an online blog or a fancy paper with a terrific reputation, yet, that list has little or no relevance, at all. Notable, well, either the critics can prove their point, or it is worthless to me - you, me, we all have to appreciate any given thing and judge on our own whether or not something is notable. Tastes do differ - thank the Good Lord they do!; otherwise, this world yould be boring (or ruled by communists).
For me, the last film I thought to be quite “notable” clearly was Gabe Torres’ “Brake”, 2012, starring Stephen Dorff and even Tom Berenger. A refreshingly different take at “Saw” with its claustrophobic trappedness of the protagonist, with some traumatic 9/11-ish terrorism and conspiracy theory mixed in.
Probably neither the best plot in the word, nor the best acting, but who cares - I found it quite thrilling. Was good enough to entertain a bloke like me who usually loves to devour the works of Guy Ritchie, Jim Jarmusch, Andrei Tarkovsky, Monte Hellman, Michelangelo Antonioni and Aki Kaurismäki.
