Into The Wild

If you are unfamiliar with the story of Into The Wild, I would strongly advice you to add it you your wish list, or rent it out when you get a chance. It is based on the true story of a young man that decides to give all of his college money to charity, and then goes off on a journey to discover himself. He struggles to deal with the fact that he has all of this money given to him by his parents, when there are so many people without anything in the world.

For the Twin Peaks fan who has everything…

With Christmas coming up, I was doing a bit of online shopping for myself. Let me explain; every year around this time I get a call from my Mum asking me what I want for Christmas, every year I say “I don’t know – surprise me” and every year I’m always disappointed come December 25. So, I decided to do my homework and come up with a few ideas for things she could get me. I figured if I made her a list then she can choose which items she actually buys and it will still be a bit of a surprise. I may be in my 30s, but I still have a chocolate advent calendar, I still leave out a mince pie for Santa and I still like to get some surprises on Christmas morning!

Learning from David Lynch’s story

David Lynch is one multitalented person; a very rare type. He is painter, a musician, a screen writer, a film director and more. The list of the films and work of arts under his belt is endless and they all point to the success he has achieved in the diverse field of endeavor he has ventured into. The success of David Lynch has also come with criticisms of his style and approach to his work. It is true that he More

Do it yourself sketches

One of the many, many things I’ve always loved about David Lynch is his amazing attention to detail. Not just in the movies and TV shows itself, though that is probably where it shows the most, but in the fact that he also insists on being involved in every single part of his creation, from significant details like music and costume to even minor ones such as the marketing of the film and movie posters.

I’ve always considered myself something More

Di Caprio – the best of out time?

Since Di Caprio’s Titanic, the only way he was going was upwards. A humble, honest, well dressed gentlemen who takes on the roles of rich personalities with utter ease. I couldn’t stop thinking of another who could take his place as the one who emerged as the best of our generation.
Although he wasn’t the complained of a harsh life since childhood, he was brought up on a bed of roses either. His career began in a hetler-skelter of roles More

Creating Fear From Eerie Music

One reason why I really admire David Lynch is that he has successfully stuck to his style despite becoming a successful. Many individuals find it easy to tackle failures. They just have to be persistent and focus on the task on hand despite the obstacles and difficulties. However, very few individuals have the ability to manage success.

The fact that they have done something right makes them so complacent that they never get it right again. David Lynch is one More

Film in the times of lows

I’m pleasantly surprised with the current scene in the cinema’s including those of commercial Hollywood. The quality of stories and picturization has improved. Naive directors now mature into a more professional phase of their careers, hence the output of movies is absolutely immense. Movies like Beutiful (thats how its spelt), Fast 5, Black Swan, The Fighter, etc. have taken shape and given the 21st century something to remember.
We see the music industry crumble ( not money wise but identity More

Early days

When you mention that you’re a David Lynch fan, people only ever say two words; Twin Peaks. Or maybe if they’re real cinema buffs they might ask if he was the guy who directed Blue Velvet. No-one ever mentions his early films, which were actually a bit more accessible than his later stuff. Only a little bit, mind you!

I think everyone forgets that he directed ’The Elephant Man'in 1980. I suppose it’s fair enough that most people remember John More

What is your major motivation for seeing a movie?

Cinema has come to become a vital part of the lives of people. The industry has grown over the years and it is even becoming a big thing in developing nations as well. Movie going habits however varies depending on the individual involved. Some go to the cinemas so often while others go on special occasions. These days, some people prefer to watch movies in the cinema than to watch at home. The box office is also very important as More

Lynch’s women

If you looked at his body of work as a whole, it would seem that David Lynch doesn’t like women all that much. Most of them end up dead or trapped in tragic situations. Very few of his female characters “win”, no matter how strong their characters may seem.
And yet, Lynch obviously adores women; he loves filming them. Every woman in a David Lynch movie or TV series, even extras in the background, look perfect. I guess the best More
