Nothing against zombies but they’re not usually my cup of tea. If I respect your tastes then I’m up for trying new things – cuture-wise. That is how I came across the novel by Mike Carey or (M.R. Carey is his professional signature). I was sold on the existential coming-of-age tale of a young … Continue reading
The Baftas are on tonight! And I feel a little bit warmer towards them than I do the Oscars (I will explain my reasoning next week), so here’s a quick round-up of nominations. I’ve selected in Pink who MIGHT win and GREEN for who I would like to win because it’s all about me and … Continue reading
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. So if you don’t want it ruined then I recommend you go watch the film and come back here. From its opening credits it’s obvious that the audience is about to see something…different. Eye-catching credits to perfumery and lingerie in indulgent velvety fonts sets the tone of what’s to come. Or so one would … Continue reading
Whether it be my extreme selectivism this year as a consequence of time and just film fatigue, I feel especially lucky to have liked so many films from LFF 2014. One that certainly gave my emotions a thoroughly good work out was the poetically ethereal POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS Edwyn Collin’s dreamlike documentary about his post-stroke … Continue reading
I’ve been bad I know. In fact I’ve been terrible. My AWOL situation is inexcusable. Well actually I have a pretty good excuse. I’ve been exceptionally busy with film festival work. As a peace offering I will be putting my two cents worth of reviews for the upcoming BFI London Film Festival which kicks off … 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
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
