THE AVENGERS and the inherent problem with superhero sequels
Like ninety percent of the English-speaking world, I went to see THE AVENGERS last week. Unlike ninety percent of the English-speaking world, I did not like it very much. And I think I know why.
Obviously, spoilers for THE AVENGERS and its Marvel Studios predecessors to follow.
Ten Memorable V48HOURS Films From Christchurch
It’s the tenth year of V48HOURS Furious Filmmaking this year, and I thought that as Christchurch City Manager, I’d run through ten Christchurch films that I’ve found memorable over the years. They’re not necessarily the city winners or even finalists - just films I like for whatever reasons, and this list should not be viewed as a guide on how to make a winning short. I’ve limited my selections to films that can be seen online, which meant a few classics (notably FR7835’s “The Escort” from 2006) had to be left off. But here are some notable films from past years - which I’m sure will be added to in 2012.
The First Hundred Films of 2012
I’ve seen about a hundred films so far this year. After the cut: the full list, in viewing order from 1st January. Italics denote a rewatch; bold denotes a theatrical screening.
A short film I shot alone on a whim in Christchurch’s “Big Snow” of August 2011. The footage had little story to it, so I slapped a voiceover on it and called it Art.
Voiceover inspired by the character of Thomas, The Courier, from the boardgame A Touch Of Evil.
NSFW on account of Andrew Todd nudity that nobody really wants to see.
