Interiors (1978)
SUPERLATIVES FAIL THIS EXTRAORDINARY FILM FROM WOODY ALLEN
I believe 'Interiors' is Woody Allens finest hour: it is his masterpiece. The best film of 1978 and one of the finest American films ever.
The acting by the entire cast is superb. If any one film derserved an academy award for ensemble acting, it's this one. Geraldine Page is chilling in her cool intensity; Mary Beth Hurt is astounding and Maureen Stapleton is a revelation. Diane Keaton; E.G. Marshall; Sam Waterston; Richard Jordan and Kristin Griffith are equally great.
When I get down on myself and question my intellect, thinking of my appreciation of 'Interiors', reminds me of my own potential and love of the cinema. 11 out of 10.

Fun (1994)
Well acted; Provocative and Ultimately Disturbing.
This film just blew me away. The tale of two teenage girls who are devoted to each other and conspire to murder an elderly woman was chilling.
The presentation of the film was realistic and honest. It's use of flashbacks and black and white photography, gave the film a stark and detached feel, yet enabled us to emphasise with the main protaganists, authority figures and victims.
The acting by the two leads; Alicia Witt and Renee Humpherey was superb, thoroughly deserving of the joint best actress award they won at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival. An extrordinary representation of todays lost and misguided youth, in a society that is floundering in it's own judgements; beliefs and failure to acknowledge the truth. 9/10.
Heavenly Creatures (1994)
HEAVENLY CREATURES IS AHEAD OF IT'S TIME FROM A CINEMATIC STANDPOINT AND STRUCTURE.
Heavenly Creatures was not only the best film of 1994,in my opinion it is probably one the best films of the decade. A flawless masterpiece that is even better in it's un-cut 108min New Zealand version.
I had eagerly awaited this film after hearing so much wonderful feedback from NZ and wasn't disappointed. I left the cinema emotionally drained and couldn't quite comprehend the remarkable achievement that I had just witnessed until several hours later. My only quibble was when I found out that the film I had seen was the 95 min international version. Although I have heard since that director Peter Jackson was satisfied with this, I can't understand the reasoning behind this: is not the original vision the truest to form?
I believe that Sarah Pierse who played Honora Parker was worthy of a supporting actress Oscar, however all the performances were spot on; the direction and screenplay flawless and the forth world was surreal and stunning.
