The Rabbitte Perspective

WHY?!... If I had to choose one aspect that annoyed me when watching any particular film in recent years, it would be how Studios and especially Directors who go out of their own imaginative way, to pursue a film idea that was either a reboot of a somewhat older but popular film that everyone had already enjoyed, or a unnecessary sequel to a film that had already done well on it's own and never in the slightest, needed another story to follow on. Now don't get me wrong, there has been the odd occasion when these reboots or sequels tend to work and pay off like with Peter Jacksons 2005 film of King Kong  (arguably) and with Brian De Palma's Scarface . Despite this however, it does anger and upset me when a well known film from way back when, is re-done in another film that honestly is worthless watching. It's imperative for the likes of Directors, Producers and especially the writers, to come up with a film that is o...

Beauty and Simplicity  When it comes to watching a good film, one of the better qualities that a good film has on offer is it's lasting effect after the viewing and make you think long and hard about the ending and the entirety of the film. One of the better examples of this would of course be Christopher Nolan and his films such as The Prestige and Inception which make you question the outcome of the story. While Sofia Coppola's film of Lost in Translation  slightly differs from what I've just mentioned in terms of Nolan's film endings, it's still a film that outright leaves an impression to the viewer with not only it's themes that lay bare on the intricacies of love life and loneliness, but also it's delicate and smooth camera work that beautifully shows off Tokyo in an artistic manner. More importantly however, the occupancy of having this perfect chemistry between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson within the film allows Lost in Translatio...

Once that was X-cellent, is now Xtraordinary  While the first film of any 'SuperHero' series tend to be pictures that are different and exciting with having a new story, new character and slightly different action pieces from other hero flicks, arguably the hardest job to top the original film is the dreaded sequel that the director has to come up with. In recent years, it's quite evident that Superhero sequels tend to fall down the pecking order in terms of cinematic quality which for me is disappointing. Marvel Superhero films especially in the forms of  Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer , Spider-Man 3  and Iron-Man 2/3  definitely fit the description of what I just mentioned of not only being films that don't offer an experience of being original and new, but also being films that are borderline boring and narratively, rely on 'big-budget-action-sequences' to progress the story. To counteract this though,...
