Tess, Fame, John Carpenter's The Fog
#33 Tess
I've enjoyed a few Thomas Hardy books, although not the one this is based on. It also received a great deal of critical praise in its time, so I was eager to see this one.
I was disappointed, but not by a great deal.
The film looked amazing. The costumes and settings looked great. The story-line was interesting, although a tad slow. But overall the pieces just didn't fall into place for me though.
Verdict
3 stars
I said I was disappointed, but I still liked the film.
#32 Fame
Okay, I almost feel a little guilty about this, but I enjoyed this one. I thought it was going to be extremely cheesy. But I really didn't think so. There were a number of laughs along with characters I actually cared about. And the music. It added a lot to the film, even though its a bit dated now.
Verdict
4 stars
#31 John Carpenter's The Fog
Wow.
I am pretty speechless with this one. I wasn't expecting much and boy was I surprised.
After watching the terrible Prom Night I thought Id be in for another lame horror film with this. But it's not.
This is an absolute marvel of a film.
I plan to watch this again and write a more detailed opinion at a later date, so for now I will just say. If you enjoy movies, see this one.
Verdict
5 stars
