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
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
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
