Alright, here’s a long one. Scorsese is a king of cinema, probably my favourite of the movie brats, and he’s been chugging along for a while now. Let’s see how I think his stuff stacks up. As always, the list is mine, and probably only mine, feel free to tell me yours with comments or [...]

I want to list the Coen Brother movies. But do I choose my favourites or the ones I know as the best. Those two lists are definitely not the same. I think, for sanity’s sake, I’ll go with favourites. Lists should always be subjective because in the end they are anyway. Oh, and I totally [...]

Damn. You wait and you wait and you really want the return of your favourite comics writer to happen and then you hear he’s instead experiencing success elsewhere. I’m happy for him, he deserves everything that comes to him, but it means me getting a comic from his pen will be even further off on [...]

Why am I even going to take the time to deconstruct this movie? I don’t really know, but there are a few thoughts I simply need to get out there. Here’s goes, get excited. This movie is the ultimate action flick as unashamed action flick. It harkens back to the 80s where action stars led [...]

Man, I love the Oscars. I always have. I am a film nerd. I was always the guy who knew the names of the directors and writers of a flick. That stuff just interested me, actors be damned, it’s the bearded nobodies behind the camera that interested me. So, come Oscar time, I was always [...]

Black Swan is one of those films that just hollows you out and fills you with something else. I couldn’t tell you what that something is because I refuse to analyse it, and it’s probably different for each person. But to summate, the movie is sublime genius on display. It’s a drama, a psychological horror, [...]

My Top Horror Flick Countdown over at Gestalt Mash has finally come to its conclusion. Here’s the final list in all its golden glory. I’m pretty sure I say enough in each link, so I’ll be uncharacteristically succinct here. Enjoy. Introduction – and Killer Klowns From Outer Space at a sneaky #29 – Chiodo Brothers [...]

There are only three choices left, the big guns left to be revealed. But if you’re any sort of horror fan then you’ll realise there are many more than five horror ‘classics’ yet to be chosen. Hot tip, not all will make the cut, I’m afraid. It’s going to be a turbulent time in the [...]
