gif Spotlight:
As a part of A personal Opinion, I wanted to highlight some of the wonderful work with the gif format that I see all over Tumblr. Gifs are a wonderful way of showing significant parts of a film or just highlighting the detail of the film, and the cleverness of the people who made the gif.
As the first gif Spotlight for A personal Opinion, I will start with the last film reviewed: Immortals.
Above is one of my favourite sets from xashesxashesx, but here are the links to a few other notable creations:

Review: Fright Night
For a film with ‘Fright’ in the name, only the odd jump is provided in Craig Gillespie directed Fright Night. If you have the choice between 2 or 3D, then definitely go for 3D; Blood splatters shoot out of the screen and the excellently creepy Colin Farrell’s transformation into savage vampire Jerry is done justice through the format. David Tennant does a hilarious job of portraying the troubled Peter Vincent and it is safe to say that all actors in the film do their jobs well. What is lacking is the fright. Fright Night follows in the footsteps of films more like Zombieland, where the gore plays a decent part but the scares are well, scarce. If you haven’t had the chance to see the original version of the film and have only relied upon the trailer to get a sense for what this film is about, then forget about the horror, and go into the cinema expecting laughs. It definitely provides more this way. All the Twilight references, small or big, will put a smile on the face of any avid Twilight fan or raging hater, and there are plenty of other clever bits to keep anyone entertained.
So Fright Night, it’s a 3/5 for me. Definitely entertaining, but lacked the scares I was hoping for.
Now what do you think?
