Why would you watch a film you don't like three times?

Well said, i'll watch anything once,( well almost anything) but if it dont hit the spot it's outta here. Having said that there's so many film's that i've appreciated more on a second viewing, then again there has to be something intruiging that makes a film worth that second viewing. i'm just rambling now, it's that goddamn Demon drink again folks. |

I've tried (and failed) to watch and like Shaun of the Dead 3 times (well, 2 and a half). There are certain films that so many people seem to rave about that you almost convince yourself that you must have not been in the 'right mood' when you first watched it, so you give it another chance. There are bound to be some who go a step further and give things a further chance. Plus there is the 'friend influence' where sometimes you're forced to watch something you've maybe seen before and not liked due to a mass consensus.

I've actually got to admit to trying to watch film I don't like multiple times in order to like it because society or whoever, thinks I should like it. Inception, The Shining and Dr. Strangelove are three examples of films I've tried watch g more than once and either failed to like it of failed to make it to the end. Speaking of which, I am going to give ADR. Strangelove one more chance tonight.

Last couple of films I saw were two of Hammer's near the end of their (then) demise. These were..... Frankenstein and The Monster From Hell. I really enjoyed this one. The expected great performance by Cushing, decent looking sets and visuals, excellent support from the rest of the cast - in particular the guy who plays the monster and gives the character great empathy - and some great individual scenes that show just how mad the baron has become - oooh, kidneys! - all make it in my opinion the second best Hammer Frankenstein film, bar Curse. Overall 8/10. I then watched The Legend of The 7 Golden Vampires. I also really enjoyed this one as well. The mix of kung fu and horror made it a interesting watch. The two elements were handled well together with some energetic kung fu scenes and vampire 'melting' scenes keeping the film going at a good pace. The character of Vanessa Buren played by Julie Ege, despite not a particularly impressive performance, was also interesting as she, arguably, unlike a number of examples of women in more traditional hammer horror, isn't essentially a damsel in distress. Cushing again, gives a great performance. I felt the visuals in this film in particular were very striking and colourful - almost Bava-esque - and this also really helped to keep me engaged. Overall 8/10. |
