THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY [2014]
Directed By Hossein Amini, Written by Hossein Amini (screenplay), Patricia Highsmith (novel) Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst, Oscar Isaac The plot and the acting/characters save this movie, as it could have been incredibly bland. To be fair though, it is very much a throwback… Continue Reading “THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY [2014]”
THE ROVER [2014]
Directed by: David Michod Written by: David Michod, Joel Edgerton Starring: Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson A man has lost everything; one begins to wonder why he bothers to keep himself alive in this post-apocalyptic Australian outback. It is a stripped-out world that abandoned him… Continue Reading “THE ROVER [2014]”
Night Moves [2013]
Directed By Kelly Reichardt I thought this one was great. Not fantastic, nothing ground-breaking here, but a nicely shot indie flick isn’t something I’ll turn down. This one was tension filled, though the key to this was its subtlety. What happens next can’t be… Continue Reading “Night Moves [2013]”
20,000 Days on Earth [2014]
Directed By Ian Forsyth and Jane Pollard Written By Nick Cave, Ian Forsyth and Jane Pollard Any creative person needs to see this.

What We Do In The Shadows [2014]

I find that I laugh out loud more often during dramas, horror, thrillers etc… Continue Reading “What We Do In The Shadows [2014]”
These Final Hours [2013]
Directed by Zak Hilditch The world is coming to an end; a meteoroid strike has caused a chain reaction that is gradually engulfing the entire planet. When we start, a radio announcer informs us of the situation in a grim tone, telling us nonchalantly… Continue Reading “These Final Hours [2013]”
Under The Skin [2013]
Directed By Jonathon Glazer This is an ‘art’ film in the truest sense. I’m still wondering if it had more dialogue than Space Odyssey.. At times it felt like a silent film! It was like a combination of everything I love about cinema. The… Continue Reading “Under The Skin [2013]”
Venus In Fur [2013]
Directed By Roman Polanski The short plot synopsis for this film is so misleading. But you know it is Polanski, so naturally something, probably strange, will begin to transpire. And strange it is. The actress arrives covered in rain, hours late, and is not… Continue Reading “Venus In Fur [2013]”
