Rasputin
December 22, 2012Crows Zero II
September 25, 2012With a title like that, it just has to be Takashi Miike. Review of lunatic youth-culture film over at The Zone.
Hugo
August 6, 2012I’ve reviewed the latest Scorsese film for The Zone.
I get the feeling my reviewing style is starting to change. Don’t know if this is good or bad. The style, that is. The film is wonderful. My daughter described it as “Depressing and funny”. I think the word she was searching for was ‘melancholic’ since she was riveted by it.
Kill List
January 23, 2012Next time you have some guests round for dinner and conversation maybe starts to flag a bit afterwards, why not put on this film? It’ll liven things up.
Wizards in Warfare
December 18, 2011The Zone has an interview with Juliet E. McKenna.
Juliet is one of the best authors in the field and I highly recommend her work.
The Man With The Severed Head
November 11, 2011I review The Man With The Severed Head for The Zone.
It sometimes goes under the alias Crimson and it’s not an arthouse film. They don’t make ‘em like this any longer; you just can’t get the kipper ties these days.
Musashi
October 8, 2011My review of Musashi: The Dream of the Last Samurai for The Zone.
Structurally, one of the weirdest films that I’ve seen.
Perfect Sense
September 25, 2011My review of Perfect Sense for The Zone.
It’s the latest Glaswegian apocalypse film. We’ve now got our own subgenre. Watch in horror as the 44 bus grinds to a halt in Glassford Street! Shudder as street performers risk life and limb on the Clyde walkway!
Cowboys & Zombies
September 11, 2011I’ve just reviewed this film for The Zone.
I think it is fair to say that this is not the best zombie western that I have ever seen.
Paradox Soldiers
August 15, 2011Paradox Soldiers reviewed for The Zone.
What we have here is a ham-fisted time-travel shoot-em-up of a film, so it’s maybe more of a warning than a review.
