Film reviews
I’m going to make this review relatively short (ha-ha – I don’t think I’m even capable). I actually saw Beware of Mr Baker before Gatsby with the full intention of only reviewing the latter; however after experiencing the same immense disappointment and the dreaded ‘B’ word (boredom) I thought about how these two films in … Continue reading
This following clip goes some way to encompassing my feelings towards Matthew McConnaughey over the last decade or so: First I’d like to say that this impression of McConaughey is spot on. Kudos Seth Green. Secondly although hilarious, I don’t really share the vitrol hatred that baby Stewie and many people I know seem to have … Continue reading
“LOOK AT ALL MY SHIT!” A vacuous line from an oddly deep and articulate speech delivered courtesy of James Franco’s Britney Spears-loving gangster Alien. If that previous observation seems a little schizophrenic, then welcome to my experience of watching Spring Breakers, the latest offering from so-called ‘enfant terribles‘, Harmony Korine. Harmony Korine is a … Continue reading
Little back story. Back last year while working for a small film festival, our small team embarked on a doomed project to obtain Mama Africa for our Opening night film. Alas it seems we needed this pesky thing called money, which we didn’t have enough of to screen this important film. It was a bitter … Continue reading
Before I start to review a film I literally have just seen, I’m actually just outside the screening room, I thought I’d put a question out there that I would really love some feedback from. My question is: “Are my reviews/articles too damn long?” In my very first posting I railed against the lackluster and … Continue reading
Is there a term to describe someone who seems to shy away from his or her’s own culture? What’s the word for that describes the opposite of xenophobic? I’m not trying to get philosophical or deep. I’m not going to come out with some big revelation. I’ve just realised that most, if not all, the … Continue reading
I had the pleasure of watching this a few weeks ago with a short but informative Q&A with the director Tim Reid. Tim Reid may not be a household name especially in the UK but he is an integral spokesperson in the filmmaking world of Black Cinema. If you were an 90s child like myself, … Continue reading
Based on a true story The Sessions stars John Hawkes as Mark O’Brien, a poet who’s paralyzed and lives in an iron lung due to childhood polio. O’Brien in his thirties hires a sex surrogate (Helen Hunt) to take his virginity. This is going to be a relatively quick review, at least compared to my previous output … Continue reading
As I had promised in what seems an age ago, here is my review of Zero Dark Thirty, a film that caused various emotional reactions from me. When I first saw the trailer, last year, it was so ambiguous that it peaked my interest. Then when I quickly learnt that is was directed by Hurt Locker’s Kathryn … Continue reading
The story of my Django Unchained viewing experience A snowy Sunday afternoon, my friend and I were looking forward to experiencing Quentin Tarantino’s next installment of high octane, fast talking, genre shifting movie fun. We were ready to be entertained because regardless of whether or not you like a Tarantino film, you can never fail … Continue reading
