Star Trek: Into Darkness
12th May 2013
Energising us a frantic speeds between moments of tension, beauty and outright hilarity, with a wonderful homage to the Cargo cult tribes (look it up), Abrams has such faith in what he is doing, that he is starting his movie with what would be the climax of someone else's.
Film Review: Rebellion
19th April 2013
What is the measure of success? What are the success barometers settings? Who decided them, and why? Is success really money? I don’t think it is. I think Truth is success. ‘Rebellion’ is Truth.
Film Review: Thursday Till Sunday
4th April 2013
At the very beginning of this movie, wrapped in the early morning black veneer of temporary problem solving darkness, where troubles are still but a sleepy glued blur, we hear the quiet solemn words of Ana (Paola Giannini Fernardo) asking her husband Papá (Francisco Pérez-Bannen) ‘Are you sure >>
Live Review: Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats - The Garage, Islington
24th March 2013
A few years ago, quite a few in fact. I was baby-sitting my little sisters while my folks were out meeting friends. I was about 10, quite responsible, so don’t be phoning social services (it was the 70s, health and safety didn’t exist then), and ‘Salem’s Lot’ was on TV. The moment when >>
The Paperboy
12th March 2013
There are a number of essentials that you’ll need to bring along when going to see Lee Daniels (director of ‘Precious’) new movie ‘The Paperboy’. A cold drink, wet wipes and some deodorant, as this is one greasy, sweaty movie, and probably the perfect solution to the arctic world we seem >>
Film Review: Stoker
1st March 2013
For a large part of the beginning of the movie I was really uncomfortable/uneasy (in a good way), despite the film looking like it was lavishly styled by Tom Ford. Even though most scenes looked like they sprung to life straight from a spread in Wallpaper* magazine and the beautiful soundtrack by >>
Film Review: Fire In The Blood
22nd February 2013
The average price of a years supply of ARV’s was about $15,000 when in actual fact the drugs were produced for less than pennies, so the profit margin was enormous. The giant, (very politically connected pharmaceutical) companies were not about to lose such wealth under any circumstances, >>
Film Review: Django Unchained
17th January 2013
It’s not often you get the opportunity to drop in a quote from Greek philosopher Aristotle, who taught Alexander The Great, but ‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts’ is quite apt in relation to Quentin Tarantino’s latest homage to his youthful influences, in this chapter it’s >>
Film Review: The Hobbit
12th December 2012
I still remember heading along with my younger sister and my dad on the day of my Confirmation to see Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back when it first came out in the 80s. I didn’t/don’t believe in religion, but I sure as hell believed in the power of the force. Obliviously not in a biblical >>
Film Review: Seven Psychopaths
6th December 2012
Where oh where to start. It’s going be a strange one this review. On one hand, ‘Seven Psychopaths’ instantly became my favourite movie of 2012, and I want to scream with laughter about it from the heights. But at the same time, I don’t really want to talk about it here. What I want to do is >>
Film Review: Sightseers
28th November 2012
As with the best laid plans, or holiday trip, it doesn’t take long for things to unravel. And in one of the most beautifully observed (not so) passive aggressive responses to a litter bug incident, the movie turns into a slasher road movie, as imagined by Morrissey.
Making The Shining Shine: Room 237
26th October 2012
Directed, or more realistically composed by Rodney Ascher, the documentary Room 23 is the result of many (many) such viewings. Like the inspirational movie itself, this can be of both stunning insight, and potentially, ever so slightly, maybe a wee bit insane.
Movie Review: Frankenweenie
17th October 2012
A bit like a dark Santa Claus(aws), Tim Burton arrives every so often, bearing what you hope is the wonderful treat you’ve been waiting all year for. And just like Christmas’s that we’ve all had at some stage, they can be sometimes a bit of a disappointment.
