Film reviews
Computer Chess While I usually try to go into a film cold, try to watch a film from a most objective stance as possible. However this film is an argument for why sometimes a little research can be a very good thing. I confused by this film. I’m so confused by this film, I don’t … Continue reading
Afternoon Delight I don’t think I can succinctly demonstrate how opposed I am to this film’s title. Properly qualifying as one of the most disappointing cinematic experiences in this year’s festival is this offering from Jill Soloway. For many reasons, only some I will discuss here, this film left me cold. Not just cold but … Continue reading
I have been AWOL for a very good reason. Round my parts, ’tis the season to be a film lover. It’s the annual BFI London Film Festival. The 57th to be exact and I think I’ve broken the record for sheer amount of film seen. The majority of film gorging occurred during the block press … Continue reading
Next up on the reviewersphere was The Way Way Back which was the film I was most looking forward to seeing and although I didn’t like it as much as I thought I found there was still plenty to enjoy. Like What Maisie Knew it was the cast that caught my attention. It’s like a … Continue reading

The following review is rather special for me. A bit of a milestone if you wish, for it’s my first foray into guest reviewing for someone else. I am privileged to have been asked to review Riot From Wrong a special screening held last week at Genesis Cinema as part of Urban Screen and B … Continue reading
I’d really like to say I’m joking with my tagline but alas I’m not. The Act of Killing is as powerful as the hype has claimed. However is it a masterpiece? I’m not sure. It is however a thought-provoking and memorable film indeed. It’s set-up as equally interesting as its protagonists, men who in their … Continue reading
Free Angela and All Political Prisoners Dir. Shola Lynch Can I just state that this was the first film that I have been truly anticipating for quite some time. All because of this woman who I discovered via the excellent and highly recommended Black Power Mixtape: In amongst the amazing footage and stories told about … Continue reading
It’s been a long long while. I’m back from Sheffield Doc Fest! What an experience that was! If there is a festival that I would wholeheartedly recommend, this one is it! I was humbled to be part of a festival that was solely about films…and parties. There were a lot of parties! In amongst the … Continue reading
