As many of you know, I am a big fan of the cinema. I am a lover of most, if not all genres of film. So, to spice things up a bit, I am going to put a little twist on my blog postings on Friday's. I will TRY to review the online strategies and/or tactics of films I want to see or have seen. Afterall, that is typically what I do. I visit the site to get background information on a film prior to watching it OR, if the film is brilliant or I want more information post-viewing, I will try to locate it's URL.
Tell No OneI didn't know much about this movie until I
read the review in the New York Times - a critic's pick at that. For those that haven't read the review or don't know the movie - it is a mystery thriller that the NYTimes quotes "is the kind of conspiracy-minded mystery almost no one seems capable of creating anymore, except
David Lynch in his surreal way". Any review that compares a film it to the brilliancy of
David Lynch gets my money.
To the web details:
Although for film sites, I like to see a little fancy flash presentation I do like how they have decided to stick to the DVD announcement date for their entry page. Because afterall, if you do not live in a major hub or live in a region where a distributor bought the rights to sell - you probably won't see this film on the big screen. You will be left to purchase or
zipit.
Once you enter the site, you are brought to a quick cut of a desperation scene which is really engaging...in fact, enter any one of their many areas and you get a glimpse of a part of the film that really showcases the look and feel of the movie and the tempo and action you will be engaged in. As you go deeper into the site and see more of the scenes, you get really pulled in. It leaves you trying to understand what is going on, just like the premise of the movie...something very few sites, previews, ads have accomplished.
