This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Movies about Movies

Ahh...no wonder this theme seemed familiar, it's because we had one way back in 2014. Oh well, it has been almost 4 years since then so I'm sure there are enough movies out there for another round.
Scream 3 (2000)
Of my three picks today, this is probably the one I like best. The Scream movies have all been about paying homage to horror films before it, and Scream 3 finally took the characters to a film set based on their own story.

Be Kind Rewind (2008)
The movie follows video store employees reshooting films to replace the tapes they had accidentally erased. The scenes of the characters acting out all the scenes of famous movies are charming, but that is about all the movie has going for it.
Hugo (2011)
Hugo was pretty to look at, but ultimately it felt too long and didn't quite charm me.

I agree with you about Hugo. It was very beautiful visually but the film wasn't that good.
ReplyDeleteI know right, there's just something missing from it.
DeleteI love Hugo and found it captivating probably because I love Melies so much and read up on him. I thought this film paid sweet homage to this man. I saw scream 3 and it was ok but I was getting tired of the sequels. I haven`t seen the other flick and probably won`t
ReplyDeleteI knew nothing Melies before Hugo, so that bit was interesting in terms of an educational perspective.
DeleteI also went with Scream 3! I haven't seen the other two.
