Towering Inferno

 

Who remembers that oldie? lol I thought it was the best ever made way back when!

Oh dear I am showing my age again aren't i? lol

 

Classic disaster movie about a huge skyscraper that goes up in flames.

Great film of its time.

 

7/10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vanilla Sky

 

 

staring Tom Cruise

Cameron Diaz

 

 

This was made a few years ago and it's very good, very stylish and ahead of it's time, great movie soundtrack too,( which I bought.

 

to be honest I cannot remember much about the plot sorry but I remember Tom Cruises character seemingly having "it all", he was successful etc, and the story was quite sub culture and deep.

 

I just remember the last 10 minutes of this movie was quite strange and sad.

 

I will give it 7 from 10.

 

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

 

starring Gene Wilder.

 

 

This was made in the early seventies and adapted from the book by Roald Dahl

 

It's about special gold tickets that have been hidden in 5 Willy Wonka chocolate bars throughout the world, and children everywhere are wanting one...because those gold tickets entitle entry to the famous Wonka factory, where all the wonderful chocolate is made.....

 

I love this movie. It has so many child like qualities and I loved it when I was I little and still have that same feeling now when I watch it.

I wish I could be that ticket winner. It does when you watch it now have certain sinister qualties which I didn't notice when I was little, but I still enjoy it the same now regardless.

I think the way in which the movie made was very ahead of it's time, but cannot explain too well in this post why it is ahead of it's time..you will have to watch it with me lol and then I can explain.!

 

great movie and I like the kid Charlie Bucket. Sometimes he looked so let down when he wished he'd found that gold ticket..great acting.

 

I will give it 9 and a half from 10.

 

p.s  there is a new Willy Wonka movie been completed and set for release soon staring Johnny Depp.

will go to see this.

 

 

 

Your Friends and neighbours.

 

Natasha Kinski

Ben Stiller

Jason Patric

 

this is such a good movie that was made a few years ago.

I caught it by accident one late evening on the telly ,but I haven't seen all of it.

It's really as the title suggests and about how their lives are linked and their relationships.

 

It does have some lesbian interest in this too :-)

and Jason Patric as I always remember was so horrid to one of the female characters in the library scene.

It's one of those scenes you just can't forget, it's just great. Very good acting by both characters.

Very almost real.

 

 

10 from 10

 

worth watching

Zabriskie Point

 

made in the 70s .

 

 

because it starts with ' Z ' , can't think of any orther movie starting with a ' Z '...

though I can think zzzz sleep...

Beaches

 

It is a real weepy, with bette midler. It's about the friendship between two girls that follows then throughout life with ups and downs then one becomes ill.

 

if you like weepys its got to be 9/10
