I saw Looper a few weeks ago now but I’ve been putting off the review, mainly because I just don’t know what I can say about it… “It’s a good solid sci-fi flick that you should go and see” seemed a little sparse. So… I thought a bit harder and this is what I came […]

I don’t know what Oliver Stone was thinking when he made Savages. I’m not sure he knows himself. Perhaps it was the same thing he was thinking during Alexander.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the British film industry only churns out gritty dramas about gangsters or hooligans. I’m sure it’s not actually true but you can’t deny that those are generally the ones that make it to the cinema.

For a flowery film there should be a flowery review. I know I’ve said I don’t do these but… when needs must. Lavish, luscious, sumptuous, opulent…

It’s a testament to his prior work that I still call myself a Tim Burton fan. It’s been almost 10 years since he’s made a film that I can really say I liked. There have been films that were tolerable… films that were ok… but nothing actually… good.

I don’t think this is going to be a long one. I don’t know how motivated I can get about something I hate. I didn’t know anything about Charlie Casanova before I saw, but I had heard that some people didn’t like it. That kind of thing means nothing to me really, I’ll always watch […]
