When I was a kid there was usually two occasions when my dad would take charge of the TV and insist we all watched as a family. One would be when 'Muhammad...
Oi now look, if I go to see a film about lesbians, I expect them to look like the ones you get in porn movies; whereas in this piece of old Argie bargy, they...
As I ended up being seated three rows from the front, directly in front of the microphone, my first thought was: 'please let it be Sandra Hebron who introduces...
This excellent documentary was originally shown in three parts on UK TV, but is also available on video. What comes across, load and clear, is the sheer comic...
Set in current day Sri Lanka, this is the tale of two obnoxious oiks who go around hassling women, and taking part in the occasional assasination of local...
After the reviews I've seen, I treated this film with some caution. Everyone seems to credit it with some value, but always grudgingly, with the qualification...
The film has been labelled a thriller, but I don't think it sits comfortably in this genre. It may have some thriller elements, but I find it is chiefly...
What do people see in this film? It's billed as some extreme horror, from master director Argento. I found it laughable. Not only does it have a ludicrous...
So what do people who work in offices do all day ? Well obviously anything but work, if this small scale Spanish movie is representative. Here we have a...
First released in 1999 (and according to the director 'James Benning' only shown at festivals) this is the first, in what has now become a trilogy of Static...
My oh my, I didn't realise what Luvvy occasions these galas actually were. Naturally I just assumed I would turn up ten minutes beforehand and walk in, well...
Final film of the 'James Benning' trilogy (see reviews EL VALLEY CENTRO and LOS) this takes its theme as the Californian wilderness. Like before the film...
Short of course for Los Angeles, this is the second in the 'James Benning' trilogy dealing with present day California. As before the format is thirty five...
So about quarter way through this Canadian indie flick, our heroine 'Jo' meets Czech emigree 'Luka' and says: "So you're named after the song right" "No"...
The story of a post virus-hit London, deserted apart from the crazy infected people out to kill anything that moves, and a handful of the non-infected trying...
"Dead Man", a Jim Jarmusch film. A young man from Cleveland is offered a job as an accountant. To get it, he must sell everything and move west to a town...
Was rather disappointed by this. The excuse for the road trip (two 17-year-olds take an older woman to a beach they've invented) was flimsy. There's an...
Blier is a master of what I think of as cinema of the absurd. This film is Blier being his usual outrageous self, with a story that sticks two fingers up to...
I remembered this film as being good, but I now find it brilliant. It is as fresh and sharp as ever. I had forgotten just how good the cabaret routines were,...
This was certainly better than all the reviews seemed to suggest when this first came out. Kevin Spacey, as the man who claims he's from planet K-Pax, is on...
Back in the late Seventies (or early Eighties) there was a low budget (made for TV type) movie that starred a fading Jack Lemmon, and a TV cop star called...
With all the hype I have been hearing about Lynne Ramsey as the "bright young talent" of British cinema, I began to get that dread feeling of a huge...
A metaphysical science fiction film. Get your head round that one! Clearly influenced by Kubrick's 2001, this is an altogether more intense and claustophobic...
THE LIMITS OF ELECTORAL POLITICS Roughly speaking we can distinguish five degrees of "government": (1) Unrestricted freedom (2) Direct democracy (3) Delegate...
My very personal view... The blurb on the video cover of this film says that Medem is the European answer to Lynch. Well, for my money, Medem is the more ...
Considering how many films I watch at the cinema, it is someting of an irony for me, that the greatest films I have ever seen, I have only ever caught on the...
Ah yes 'Perdition'; I of course assumed 'Roaring Twenties' (in the event 1931), gangsters and all that, must be the same thing as 'Prohibition'. However...
Has anybody here seen "Perfect Murder"? I watched it on Friday. It's not bad. I saw the outline of "Dial M for Murder" in it. Obiviousy influenced by same....
In the first few minutes of this film, when the camera seemed to be constantly moving about a group of people in a rather ostentatious way, I thought I was...
