While reading through the Guardian newspapers discussion of the new tax laws effect on the film industry, I noticed a story interviewing a Cinema owner. That, combined with the recent posting from Ned (a Theatre owner), made me think of how hard it must be to operate a cinema and … [Read More]
Tracey Emin has withdrawn her film Top Spot from distribution in the UK because of the 18 rating. The Guardian says: Emin, 41, had already criticised the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) last month over the rating they awarded her film, saying the teenage audience it was aimed at … [Read More]
If you’re tired of my moaning about this, then by all means move on to the next post. Otherwise, keep reading and we can all bitch together! I’ve been giving some more thought to this whole situation of Chris Rock hosting the Oscars this year. To be fair (as a … [Read More]
There’s a difference between having a great cast in a film and a star studded cast. A star studded cast just means huge names without necessarily meaning quality (take the Arnold version of Batman for instance: Arnold, George, Uma, Chris).

Ever walk through the video store and accidentally comes across an old movie that you haven’t seen in YEARS and suddenly have flash backs of certain scenes that just absolutely made you HOWL? Yeah, well Johnny Dangerously is one of those flicks for me (and probably the ONLY half decent … [Read More]

Got invited to an advanced screening of Without a Paddle last night (ok, so I’m bragging a little, sue me), and expectations weren’t high. Although the previews have looked pretty funny, the fact of the matter is that it looked like just another teen style comedy in the same vein … [Read More]

I’ve enjoyed a lot of Tony Scott’s films but not so much that I actively follow the man’s upcoming projects, but Domino is one I’ve been waiting for. Why? Script by Richard Kelly, baby. Kelly’s the genius behind Donnie Darko and the upcoming Southland Tales and he is definitely a … [Read More]
So I just got back from Fahrenheit 9/11 and honestly I’m a bit underwhelmed. Is it a good film? Yes, fairly, but it’s not a great film by any definition and though I’ve only seen one of the other films that were in competition at Cannes this year (that being … [Read More]
I’ve been getting nothing but flack from this post – Let me make myself very clear before I start banning people who take it upon themselves to insult me: At the time of this post, I knew nothing about this film – I knew it dealt with the Korean War … [Read More]
