Tennesse Williams Double Feature

As a proper summer is apparently not making an appearance anywhere I may wander for the next few months, I’ll just have to sit in and pretend. Although with the perpetual greyness, rain and humidity which seems to alter the effects of gravity itself, comes the perfect setting for claustrophobia and discomfort. Someone who does [...]

2 Days In Paris

It is without a doubt a carefully thought out, well executed movie that is a lot more intelligent than it lets on.

Julie Strain’s ‘Tales From The Crapper’

All of this is definitely an attributing factor to the fact that we allow films like ‘Tales from the Crapper’ to be made. This film is horrible in almost every sense of the word, but it’s also fantastic.

Celluloid Irrelevance & Some Scallys

All signs indicate that summer is indeed upon us, vast quantities of our inhabitants have taken to the streets, intent on displaying all of their purulent, pasty flesh for all to see. As ruffians turn pinker on one side whilst driving around in Honda Civics with additional plastic adornments, listening to what I believe is [...]
