Yellow Submarine (1968)
Surreal fun
Just finished watching The Yellow Submarine on BBC.. Last time I watched this must have been Xmas a few years ago,thats the only time it seems to be shown... Anyway again I enjoyed it.For a animation that was made over 30 years ago it has definately stood the time ( most classics do ) Probably the best film the Beatles even done.( seen the rest ? ) Basically the films covers the triumph over good over evil with a hint of surrealism..and a excellent musical score.
The Arrival (1996)
Interesting mixture of fact and fiction..?
Dont supposed many people watched this film it was shown at about midnight on Thurs....pity But I thought is was very interesting especially the way it managed to entwine the subject of global warming and alien invasion,especially when you consider whats going on in the world now regarding the weather...Martin Sheen was excellent as the neurotic/paranoid telephone engineer ( personal experience ??? ).... The story was woven with fact and fiction and touched on a subject close to most peoples hearts...Especially liked the liberal use of special effects and the concentration more on the story line and characters. Does make you wonder are we really alone ????
