filmbore wants you! Musings of May 2013

filmbore wants you! May 2013

Of what has become the most drawn out article this site (and probably many others!) has seen, the final recap of filmbore's first year in existence is finally here. I'll put up one final post very soon to re-list the candidates so you can get another chance to vote on the first 52 films reviewed from June 2013 to May 2013. They are all have the opportunity to enter a coveted top 20 of the best films from this initial year of filmbore's life, showcasing the best of the bunch. Without further ado then...

Let's muse over May 2013!

The second half of filmbore's horror season continued with three very different films, a further Top 10 themed from scary movies surfaced, we said goodbye to another legend, plus timing blessed us with another bonus review:

One of the most iconic names in cinema history is Ray Harryhausen. He has inspired numerous filmmakers over the years and has entered the hearts of generations of movie fans. The godfather of effects modelling and stop-frame animation, he has influenced the course of the film industry with his creative and imaginative talent. He passed away on May 7th 2013 and is missed by so many. 

Many articles were posted across the net, recalling his most famous moments. I wanted to do something more personal; something from a movie fan. Instead, I published this little number, (admittedly posted in June, but his passing was in May,hence it's presence here) highlighting a more comical collection of notes on cameos from the great man and some homages from some of the most iconic media in the industry.

Speaking of alternative articles, in order to emphasise the ongoing horror festival on filmbore, I presented a new Top 10 of the best ever Zombie Killers. Relentless, daring and sometimes hilarious, these are the warriors you want by your side when the apocalypse happens.

And finally, and what we've all been waiting for, the reviews...

Well timed weekends meant that the last month of year one for filmbore meant we had five reviews. But which sticks with you the most? Were you touched by the emotionally original and surprising beautiful horror A Tale Of Two Sisters? Did you ignore the critics and enjoy the playful, creative side to portmanteau revival V/H/S? Are you a fan of Oskar and Eli in this unusual scare-fest of loneliness and friendship in our final film from our horror season, Let The Right One In? Maybe you're a documentary fan, and were shocked, if amazed, by Frédéric Bourdin's story of identity fraud in The Imposter? Or do you just love a good experimental, art house with the enjoyable and funny Run Lola Run?

An bizarre blend from all over the globe, but you must choose. Should one, some or all of these films be considered in my ultimate Top 20 from filmbore's first year? Make your decision and comment below.
