“Week of Variety” June 24, 2008
Posted by badblokebob in : Editorials, 2007 , trackbackIt’s on into August — 2007, that is — with this latest catch-up of reviews from the first year of this blog.
My original introduction still stands quite well for most of the films here (Heat and Mean Creek were part of the preceding entry originally), so I’ll just repeat some of it.
“…it’s a Week Of Variety. To be honest, I suspect there’s always a fair bit of variety in my film choices, but this week it’s especially pronounced — straightforward British comedies stand by low-budget intellectual sci-fi; complex teenage faux-film noir sits next to epic trilogy-starting Russian fantasy/horror; American gangster thriller lies beside classic British romance… And, while most were made in the new millennium, there’s a spread of over 60 years between the oldest and the most recent. All within the space of seven days, too!”
