HEL
Watchable. Lynch it isn't. Actually for the whole movie I was wondering: "what the hell is it?!" A seaside reasort outside season has got its atmosphere and the three cameramen together with a handful of actors, especially superb Marcin Kowalczyk as Kail (pronounced: Kyle), make use of it. No fantasy elements here however and not all Playboy bunnies look good, ex ones anyway. Before you get into the slow rhythm it feels just protracted and boring. Marcin Kowalczyk said in an interview that "everything caused goosebumps" on the location. Sadly, no viewer felt any. In spite of a murder early on, it's not a crime story. Shoddily made.
GENIUS
Watchable. The first hour is as arduous and onerous as Thomas Wolfe's writing process. The whole film looks drabby. Only for the writer's true blue fans.
ODDBALL
Watchable. Australian family movie. Partly predictable but fun with a cute dog and little penguins. Fantastic landscapes, cinematography bringing out all the colour, upbeat music (by a Polish composer). Likeable characters. The Polish dubbing is quite bearable too.
YUMURTA (EGG) (2007)
Watchable. A few days in a lovely town where people are friendly to each other. The story set against this background is subtle and non-invasive as the reason and the outcome of the man's visit are ambiguous.
