South West Filmathon: The Sequel | if Tron were a film fest…

The South West Filmathon was born online under lockdown, but it lives in a creative environment and speaks a visual language that transcends restrictions. Which is our way of saying it burst out of the virtual and into the real world of shared experience and big screen wonder in the form of The South West Filmathon, The Sequel. A bit like Tron… if the little computer people escaped into the South…

South West Filmathon thing!

You know how googly-eyed us and SWFilmMail get over local film, right? Following the success of the Isolation film challenge, make mindspace for the South West Filmathon thing! Here’s what it is…

(more…)

In this zombie movie you have a group of people that have decided to hold up in a mall... it's a pretty good idea, the doors lock, there is food and supplies, and it's large enough that as long as you stay towards the center of the mall you shouldn't alert any of the undead. They end up making friends with a guy across the street at the gun store but he doesn't have any food so they try to save him and get to the docks where one of the group has a boat, because zombies can't swim.

This film is good for what it is. In my opinion what makes or breaks a zombie movie is how well the characters interact with one another. This film has a pretty good mix of characters with different personalities and different backgrounds which is good, it creates an interesting story.

This film is pretty good and there is a pretty funny scene where two of the characters have a romantic moment over talking about chainsawing zombies.

So tonight I watched the older, animated, Lord of the Rings. Unlike the more recent version, this was made as  a two movie set where books one and part of two were in the first movie and the second part of book two and book three were on a different movie... if that makes sense, it is very late. So yeah I'm sure you know the general story of Lord of the Rings at least so I don't really need to explain what happened in this version.

This version was made in 1978 and is oddly animated. I don't really know how to explain the animation other that by saying that I can't explain it. It is really odd.

This version focus is more on different points in the books that the Peter Jackson ones don't. One case is that they include the part where Saruman the White changes himself to Saruman of Many Colors. So yeah, it was kinda' odd.
