Why tamper with perfection? If you only made one truly great movie in your life, why would you go and destroy the memory? Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me, The […]
Coen’s Return
Looking back over their career, with Blood Simple now being 27 years old, its pretty fair to say Coen bothers hardly put a foot wrong! There are a few on the list […]
John Barry RIP
Possibly the greatest composer to work in cinema, John Barry has died at the age of 77. He will be best remember for his Bond work, such as Goldfinger and From Russia […]
Movies – 28-01-11
Is it possible for a newspaper to wake up in a bad mood? Well, the Guardian doesn’t like anything this week, and especially not the new Clint Eastwood movie Hereafter (well, ok, […]
Oscar Nominations
First off, any surprises? People they missed out? I don’t think so really. All comes within standard parameters of what we know as ‘Oscars’! The long list of ‘best movie’ nominations makes […]
Exciting week at the movies!
Yes, this is one that we’ve been waiting for, for a long time and is a definite for the oscars if you ask me. I’m of course talking about John Carpenter’s ‘The […]
Best Movies of 2010 – MQ
1. Winter’s Bone – This blew me away when I saw it. Like most movies I go to, I try to avoid reading about them before I do, so I had no […]
Worst Fears Realised – Cinema
Yes, every critic I can find thinks Tron was rubbish. Annoying, but i’m not quite sure what I was expecting. Otherwise the only releases are old movies such as ‘its a wonderful […]
The New Beasties
MCA is releasing a short movie in Sundance next month, entitled ‘Fight for your right, revisited’. As the name suggests, it’s a short movie about the Beastie Boys in earlier days, in […]
Old Cinema News
Ok, so I’m a week behind, better late than never right? Hmm. I’ll keep it short so, seems last week was a good week at the cinema, I guess most people wanted […]
Only muck at the movies
The title says it all. Nothing decent released this week, so i won’t dwell on it particularly long. ‘Unstoppable’ is a Tony Scott movie about a bomb on a train or some […]
I could watch these for hours…
Don Hertzfeldt’s Rejects, you’ve probably all see them a 100 times. See what you think. they make me giggle anyway. Wonderfully simple style of animation, and a nice idea of rejected shorts […]
Neil Blomkamp’s AGM Heartland
An odd little teaser has just turned up on the internet, from Neil Blomkap, the co-writer and director of District 9. He’s a south african director, and D9 was actually the first […]
Harry Potter and the blah-de-blahs
Yes, it’s Harry Potter Season again, so that will fill up most of the main stream cinemas. Still, two good movies this week, so we can’t really complain. Uncle Boonmee who can […]
Green Lantern
DC really haven’t gone for the whole movie thing, to the same degree as Marvel. It is possibly a good thing, when you see some of the dodgy adaptations that are out […]
New at the Movies
Ok, a quick round of what’s new this week. I went to ‘Another Year’ last week, and it was a little better than I expected. As with all of his movies, even […]
Movie Reviews 5-11-10
Mixed bag this week, and the only thing it really proves is that reviews don’t mean a great deal! Another Year is Mike Leigh back to doing what he does best (and […]
Cinema Reviews
Just checking the new releases this week, and nothing much of any interest on at the moment! A lot of three star movies released, and that just means ‘wait till dvd release’ […]
Tron Legacy
There’s been talk about this for a while now, and I’ve resisted posting it. Daft Punk are doing the music to the new Tron Legacy movie, which opens in the states on […]
Science week loves Eno
It must be the hardest job of marketing experts the world over to make Science seem cool, but I guess that’s the aim of Science Week, which has a series of lectures […]
To toast or not to toast
I wish I could stop myself, but I can’t! This video has nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with toast. They have the whole thing on youtube, which is pretty amazing.
Tower of Babel
I went to a few movies over the weekend, all pretty good, so brief review of each of them; The Leopard – very slow but good, The Maid – First half is […]
Joe Dante’s back!
Yes, that’s right, Joe’s back in town. The man that taught me the three rules, no bright lights, don’t get them wet and never, never let them eat after midnight! If you […]
