Crazy Heart (2009)
25.4.2018, dvd
Non-original Hollywood film making shines through from every aspect of this movie. Luckily the actors are really really good, so it's alright to watch through.

Arsenal (1929)
5.11.2017, Yle Areena
Plot-wise I found it kinda boring. It wants to tell us important stuff about the lunacy that is known as war, and while in the year of our Lord 2017 that is a very thoroughly covered theme in art and (maybe) especially in cinema, it most certainly was not that in the Soviet Union in 1929. Unfortunately the plot just isn't too interesting, and most of the content we see on screen is basically people (men) fighting. However, those scenes and actually every other scene too is captured in an exceptionally pretty way indeed! Lots of unorthodox camera angles, wild editing and all that manage to turn this one to a pleasurable-ish experience. The historical perspective is of course interesting too (being a student of history myself).

Films and short films and maybe tv-serieses I've watched since around October 2017. I watch a lot less movies nowadays than I did before, but I kinda feel me an occasional urge to write something about the ones I've goggled through so here goes.
