Film reviews
The Grand Budapest Hotel Ah Wes Anderson. A thoroughly well turned out pleasant gentlemen who still succeeds in leaving me extremely divided about his body of work. Through the years I’ve veered as erractically as some his edit cuts from near loathing (I cannot for the life of me get behind Rushmore), to … Continue reading
My feelings towards this first offer is twofold. It is perhaps the most flashy advert to greed and consumerism, a glorious ode to the church of unregulated capitalism. It is also an example of a well made film steadfast in its commitment to it’s original source. Therein lies the problem. Scorsese is a virtuoso, and … Continue reading
I had planned to repeat last year’s prediction and results analysis of the Oscars. But because life just…is, I haven’t had the time to write a long-winded dissection about how ultimately pointless and yet bewitching the whole Oscars charade is. So I thought it would work if I combined the two processes and discuss the … Continue reading
In some ways I can see why 12 Years A Slave is viewed as ‘revolutionary’ by critics and audiences alike but in all honesty I don’t think I’m ready to jump on the bandwagon. The film is being lauded and praised for a variety of reasons; it’s a beautifully visceral drama wonderfully directed by Steve … Continue reading
For some reason I have been dreading writing a review of 12 Years A Slave ever since my first viewing way back on an October morning (yes, I’ve seen this film multiple times). It was one of those films where I just didn’t think I could find the words to articulate my feelings towards it … Continue reading
World’s End While the majority of the films appearing on this list were seen in the most reserved fashion, in that I had minimal hope I would enjoy my cinematic experience, World’s End was the exception to the rule and for that I was severely punished (I’m beginning to feel like 2013 was the year I … Continue reading
This post is a milestone post of sorts. This post not only celebrates its first year anniversary (many happy returns to readers who have been with me from the beginning) it also is the 30th, not that significant while I think about it but it’s a nice round number. I’m so happy that I come … Continue reading
So here it is! My top films of 2013, something that I felt was like an arduous journey to compile. This was a year of film binging to the extreme. The consequence of this was that I couldn’t always remember if I’d seen a film and whether or not it qualified for the 2013 timespan. … Continue reading
I thought I was above the inevitable end-of-year-list explosion that happens on every pop culture site, blog, magazine etc. But obviously not. Also it’s fun to reflect on a year in film. I thought starting with my worst films of 2013 would create more of a buildup than starting with a climax of my best … Continue reading
It’s been a while since I’ve published the first of what is supposed to be a regular installment, so I thought it high time I did another. The last few weeks, maybe in recovery from covering the festival (which still has some milage left in terms of reviews) I’ve been easing a little more on … Continue reading
