MOVIES : Invisible Man, WolfMan, Third Man
I went black and white movie crazy on the weekend, watching three films on TV, video and in the cinema.
The Invisible Man. This was really cool, especially since I remember a send up I saw of it that was almost shot perfect. The ambiance was great - really chilling as you didn't know how far, how mad the invisible man was.
WolfMan. This was made at the same time and isn't as good, but still quite fun. The suspense is built up more effectively, but the movie is ruined by some aweful stereo typed gypsies and a terrible werewolf costume. Truely terrible.
The Third Man. This is supposed to be the best Film Noir made by British Producers, and it was excellent. Even though Marlon Brando is only in it for a short while, he is superb, and most of the other actors (especially the lead) are pretty dang good too. The most surprising thing about this film is that it has quite a bit of humour in it! It is also about real problems in real places with real people, rather than some stupid statue of a falcon :)
All three are worth seeing for various reasons.
