north east exile in London I work at Sky News i like to write and talk about films read some of my stuff here:
my favourite documentaries are the ones commissioned by the government that prove to be so toxic to the public psyche they get banned from TV finally FINALLY took the plunge on The Sorrow and the Pity
me coming out of my second screening of The Odssey banging on chairs, stomping the ground that akshually it should have been LONGER
IMAX is an amazing experience and easily the best cinema experience. Nolan should be commended for pushing the format as far as he has... but I have a nagging feeling that hard limit on run time meant his Odyssey isn't what it could have been
I was left frustrated by the end but #Backrooms is going to be a hit and it deserves to be
particularly funny because THE NEW WORLD has 10 times the artistry and power of Avatar
War of the Worlds is such a mad one to include in this collection 'so chief, we've got these seven Spielberg classics lined up... what else should we add?'
I don't think it'll ever go down to 0, at least not for the time being.
first half of this movie literally ends with fascist Donald Sutherland fatally headbutting a cat
all the best shit was suppressed by chickenshit governments for decades in the 20th century (currently streaming on iPlayer)
lots of people talking about ‘Killing Them Softly’ over at the other place tomdavidson92.medium.com/how-would-yo...
now that’s a fucking movie, brother (Am I the only one who is absolutely confused during the post-bank heist shootout???)
still freaks my nut that apparently Ridley Scott saw this, watched Paul Mescal play this internally-conflicted, angsty, confused teenage boy and go ‘that’s who I want for Maximus’s son!’
Lucrecia Dalt speaking about Bertrand Bonello's The Beast for her Criterion Top 10
feels weird seeing adverts like this from the lead actress in THE SUBSTANCE
sounds like you'd love to pass the costs onto your tenants, if you ask me
celebrating International Women’s Day the right way…! just trying to imagine the discourse if someone like Ryan Gosling or Timothee Chalamet (or even Leo) dropped something this interesting and weird and fucked up did Cruise even know what he was making?
every bit as bad as you think, a hodge-hodge of half-baked ideas, characters and themes stapled onto a boring and somewhat confusing plot stunningly bad on almost every level and a complete failure bravo to Maggie Gyllenhaal
There are some beautiful speeches and monologues and quintessential British humour but, having seen the film three times, I can never shake Candy's sombre remark:
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is showing on BBC2 this afternoon. When will it get a full 4K release? one of the most gorgeous Technicolor films of the 20th century and one of the greatest British films ever made
