I'm tired of writing reviews as well, Bri, and am pretty swamped at work so will close out the 2008 festival by saying:
Three Monkeys' was good, if a little slow, and probably something best appreciated during a film festival (in a theatre, where you can't fast forward but the sound and picture quality highlight the effort the director made to create a very sensory film).
Recommend for festival watching/a lazy weekend afternoon when the thought of a languidly-paced (festival speak for 'fucking slow') film may actually be inviting.
The Ghost was a bit of a conventional but no less enjoyable thriller that shows what happens when a writer decides to collaborate on a book with a known assassin. Despite the obvious plot holes (i.e. the educated main character's inability to foresee that regular meetings with a cold blooded killer could possibly take a turn for the worse?!?), the characters are interesting, the film is often shot in the dark and rain, giving the film a grey look that suits the tone of the story.
Recommend.
Okay, I'm done. Bye Bye till next year.
