Videodrome - Season Four

In the previous season, I still remember fondly these movies ...

Down With Love; Shutter; Nuts; Cellular; Conspiracy; THX 1138; The Celluloid Closet; My Teacher, Mr Kim; Assault On Precinct 13; Cyrano De Bergerac, The Firemen's Ball (Horí, Má Panenko), All About Eve and It Happened One Night.

Not many, I know. Hopefully, this will not repeat in this season.

Sneakers

Before they even show it in the cinemas, get a loadful from apple - trailers.

They are made to draw you into the cinemas. You will generally get two kinds of feelings. The good and the so-so. The former is a ... good sign and the latter is simply bad.

Rating the movie and its trailer can be very very different. Editing a movie is tough but editing for a trailer is ten-fold tougher. I see trailers as the shortest of short films. They can even be better than the movie itself. Much better.
