I would definitely watch a Birdman film. Marvel should get on that. And make sure you hire Michael Keaton.

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…

film review: Samsara (2012)

I wished I’d seen Baraka. Because I think it might have made this film easier to review. Samsara is a stunning piece of work. The film takes us across a world damaged by disaster, mechanised by industry, shrouded in ritual and punctuated by beauty. This world.

film review: Prometheus (2012)

When is an Alien movie not an Alien movie? When it’s a sci-fi movie, it seems. In preparation for Prometheus I watched Alien, Alien3 and Alien: Resurrection during the week*. Truth is, I was never massively into the first two Alien films. I don’t have a problem with them per se, my hazily remembered impressions […]

Finally, someone gave Neveldine & Taylor a real budget. Not that they need one, they seem to do a fine job with what they have. Crank and Crank: High Voltage are two of some of my favourite films of the last 10 years.

I had to think about this one. Well, I think about all my reviews – words don’t appear on the screen by themselves* – but usually it’s less about what I’m going to say and more about how I’m going to say it. This film had me thinking about… stuff. Ah ok, there’s no point […]

film review: Kick-Ass (2010)

I’d be extremely surprised if you haven’t heard of Kick-Ass at this stage. It seems to be everywhere I look, online and offline. Granted I hang around movies websites and cinemas a lot but I even saw the titular Kick-Ass peering at me from the window of a French Connection store this afternoon – what’s […]
