Another productive day at work enticing the students into the cinema with the promise of free membership to The Belmont, a local cinema for local people. It was extra busy, well busier than we normally are on a Monday, due to a local Bank Holiday Monday.
Once the rush had died down I had to make a round trip to Elgin and back to visit my grandmother in hospital after she had suffered a heart attack last week. Tough evening :(
433 - Good Will Hunting - 4 stars Movie before bedtime and picked up this one at random. Premiere called this one of the "top 20 over-rated movies of all time", but if you look at the list a lot of them were marketed by Miramax and Harvey W, so it might be a backlash against his aggressive, over-hyping Oscar campaigns (which you have to admit, have normally achieved a high return of little gold statues).
An Oscar baiting film for sure but it's on the list for a reason, not least for the great chemistry between childhood friends and writers Damon and Affleck, and Williams proving he is great at doing the quiet stuff as well as the over-the-top crazy stuff.
Some elements of the story may be considered slightly schmaltzy or hokey but if I won an Oscar for my first script, I don't think I'd be too worried about that!
Now how do you like them apples?
So what do you think the most overrated film of all time is?
Most overrated film? I'm going to anger a lot of people here. Bladerunner. Sorry. I am generally a bit of a sci-fi geek, but I just don't get it!
