New films.

In Bruges is a film that i watched a long time ago and thought nothing of it whilst i was watching it, then a week ago i watched it again and its comic value shone through, it was hilarious, Colin Farrell is beautiful and plays a hit man called Ray along side with his mentor Ken, Brendon Gleeson. Ray kills a pervy priest but accidentaly kills an innocent little boy in the process, Harry played by Ralph Fiennes is the leader of the Hit man troupes and has the rule if you kill a child you must kill yourself. So Ken and Ray get sent off to Bruges, the worst place in the world, ever,
While Ken enjoys the historic city, Ray, who is in inner conflict due to the death of the boy, feels completely bored and misses his home. Ray meets the small time drug-dealer and crook Chloë, who sells drug to the cast and crew of a movie that is filmed in Bruges, and has an incident with a Canadian tourist and later with Chloë's boyfriend. Meanwhile Harry, who has an stringent code of principles, orders Ken to kill his protégée Ray.

the film contain, cocaine, guns, sex, guns, pregnant women, guns, bald men being blinded, Bruges, fat americans and Midgets.
the film is hugely racist and uneasy to view at times due to this fact, but after a while the comedy comes through and i found it astonishingly funny.

The thing that interested me in the film was that it was only shown in 28 cinemas in england and was mainly shown in art houses. It swiflty became a bit of a cult film. In Bruges is an Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning 2008 film directed and written by Martin McDonagh.

and the link to the video is.. currently unavailable due to the fact i am unable to get on YouTube.

We are beginning our filming for our scary movie currently and it is going well, yesterday we began shooting some scenes outside but we had to wait until it got dark which was a bit frustrating.
i am a bit nervous about our bath scenes in our movie as i am the actress. 'Axe to grind' is about a lonely man who prays on women due to him being neglected as a boy. He finds his victims in normal coffee houses and is a typical stranger that you would see everyday, nothing is scary about him, until he follows you home, watches you, waits for the right moment and then brutally kills you. we have decided to film it so you never see the mans face and only his implements he will kill you with, his gloved hands and his feet.

We are hoping to film it in two days, and we may have it all in black and white but are undecided. tom is creating a soundtrack for it which is amazing and will be very odd and ery.
We took some pictures of my bathroom to see how we can film it form different angles. we will be filming it from toms perspective and there will be no sound bar the soundtrack that tom is creating.
