New Must-sees: Love & Friendship, Mustang

Posted on 30/05/2016 by lynnchinwe • 1 Comment

https://youtu.be/KhvyupqNhL8   I could rightly be called a charlatan in making this admission but do know I aim to rectify this current state in the immediate future –  I am loathed to admit that I have never seen a Walt Stillman film. After LOVE & FRIENDSHIP, this will soon change. Thoroughly charming in every way, … Continue reading →

BLAST FROM THE PAST – LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1986)

Posted on 21/03/2015 by lynnchinwe • Leave a comment

Frank Oz’s LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS brings back fond memories of watching this as a child (although I had the theatrical version with the distinctly happier ending) and while nearly decades ( yes decades) have passed since I last saw it, I can still sing nearly word perfect at least three of the songs – the titular … Continue reading →

2014 – A Year In Film

Posted on 06/01/2015 by lynnchinwe • 1 Comment

Seems like only yesterday I was thinking about the film goodness I consumed in 2013, so it’s a little disconcerting that the time has come around again so quickly. 2014 has been a good year for film in my opinion. I think it has more to do that because the last year has been decidedly … Continue reading →

BIRDMAN REVIEW & HOLIDAY GIVEAWAY!

Posted on 24/12/2014 by lynnchinwe • 2 Comments

Full of Christmas cheer and goodwill to all, I thought I’d spread a little of it to you. With the help of Fox Entertainment, I had the pleasure of attending a preview screening of BIRDMAN. I know! A review on Christmas Eve! Stop! But the excitement doesn’t end there, because after the review I will be offering a … Continue reading →

The Return! Festival Round-up Part 1

Posted on 20/11/2014 by lynnchinwe • Leave a comment

Hello strangers! It’s been a while. A long long while. I’ve barely recovered from two festivals (London Film Festival and Film Africa) while working my now full-time job. But I won’t lament the self-caused exhaustion I caused myself because I have too much film goodness to talk about. I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot … Continue reading →

The Grand Budapest Hotel & The Past

Posted on 09/04/2014 by lynnchinwe • Leave a comment

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 →

The Wolf Of Wall Street & Inside Lleywn Davis

Posted on 17/03/2014 by lynnchinwe • Leave a comment

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 →

Happy New Year! A present to ring in the new year… My Worst Films 2013

Posted on 01/01/2014 by lynnchinwe • 1 Comment

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 →

London Film Festival Round-Up Part 1

Posted on 26/10/2013 by lynnchinwe • Leave a comment

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 →
