The Day After
After a few days of (relatively) frenzied DVD watching, I’ve learned that:
-
the laws of physics and logic are optional extras for action films;
-
rock-music-driven montages and slo-mo shots of
victimsheroes walking or running - or walking with intent - are essential elements of a thriller; and -
a film that doesn’t aim high but has fun anyway is much more enjoyable than a film that Has a Life Lesson to Impart and does so in a manner that assumes you’re a monkey.
Just as all things come to an end - films that end at the right moment, or films that end because there’s no more disk space - the Goddess returned yesterday. All is well with the world.
