Wolf Creek

[dvpixl]

Just saw this tonight to make up for Munich...

just kidding.

Well, it was definitely shot on digital. probably a varicam.. anyone know?

sorta pixelated and jaggedy on 35mm when I saw it tonight. it was bothering
the heck out of me.

but it felt right for the film. kinda like 28 days later...

some 30 people walked out in the middle of the movie...


:huh:

that must be the original digital version. It was very soft looking on film. I was turned off by that look. I'm starting to accept digital look for what it is.

Roger Ebert doesn't seem like he enjoyed it too much either.

"Wolf Creek" is more like the guy at the carnival sideshow who bites off chicken heads. No fun for us, no fun for the guy, no fun for the chicken. In the case of this film, it's fun for the guy."

He's a funny old guy.

I love when critics contradict themselves. Stupid critics.

Actually he addressed the fact that he gave that movie four stars when talking about his zero star rating for a movie called Chaos: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050811/REVIEWS/508110303/1023

To get to what I'm talking about, you have to read the review and the related articles.

I personally still like Ebert, even if sometimes it seems he's slipping into senility (he gave Cheaper by the Dozen 2 three stars).

A friend of mine told me wolf creek was actually boring. He said that it was about torture, but there was very little of it.

Hostel still looks sweet though.
