39, 40, 41 & finally 42

last day of the melbourne international film festival, last day of queues upon queues, last night of choc top dinners (well, maybe not).


film 39: summer wars, a japanese animation at acmi2. a fun and engaging story of love and technology and family.


film 40: waking sleeping beauty. what a doco to break last year's record on. i love disney. and i love movies. it's history, present and future. i love the creation of supposedly impossible things. the magic of movies, ahhh.... i suspect the only thing better is being in love. this film was about the rebirth of disney animation 1984-1994. fun and inspiring.


film 41: sex & drugs & rock & roll and choc tops with jamie. an entertaining film on the rock and roll lifestyle of ian dury and the blockheads. there wasn't anything shocking or new about this story but i really liked the way the story was told more than anything, little off-kilter, a bit carnivalesque.


film 42: scott pilgrim vs the world. fabulastic this film was. comedy and fantasy with a bit of romance thrown in - awww... melbourne was the first in the world to see it, which meant handing over our phones (recording devices) at the door. a few of us to see this movie. i think i might even be persuaded to see it again.

****

the festival is over. life can begin again.
