Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Lives long in the memory
This movie certainly leaves a lingering memory for weeks, months and even years later. Beautifully shot, the location in 1968 New York was great for the outside shots. Inside the sets were believable and atmospheric, with great acting which brings me on to Mia Farrow. This is the first movie of hers I've watched and she is just incredible here, a performance for the generations and surprised she didn't become even bigger than she was.
As for the script itself, brilliant and suspenseful in almost every scene, the 2 plus hours pass by very quickly. Without giving anything away, the dynamics between the old couple neighbours and Mia Farrow and her husband is superb, as is pretty much everybody else that's on screen.
The soundtrack I personally found haunting and very much matches the era. In an overview, I can tell this movie influenced countless other horror movies that were to come in the following years. This is a must watch for all horror fans, old and new.
Tim (1979)
Beautiful Movie
I stumbled across this film on the BBC last night and what a pleasant surprise it was. The subject matter has always interested me of a romance between a younger man and an older woman (played by the beautiful 47 year old Piper Laurie), since myself have always been attracted to older women but the film adds a twist with Mel Gibson playing a slightly retarded mentally handicapped younger guy, which in my honest opinion is one of his best roles ever.
The subject matter of the romance that develops between them is beautifully dealt with and also in a sensitive manner to both sides so credit where is due to the director Michael Pate. Tim's family were also brilliantly acted and made you believe in their emotions.
To top it all of, I usually laugh at most happy endings but this movie genuinely had one of the more happier endings I've seen in any movie ever. It wasn't one of the best movies ever but I give it a solid 7/10 and found it very enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone who's interested in watching a good love story in a different setting.
