In Memory of Tony Scott – The Legacy Of A Hollywood Top Gun by Dan McIntosh

With the recent and sudden news of Director Tony Scott’s passing, it isn’t until such tragic events occur that the real impact such people have on our lives is truly felt. While many film buffs or critics my not revere Tony’s work in such high standards as his brother Ridley or some other more revered directors, for me this man helped shape my life in more ways than one.

Dir: Aharon Keshales, Navot Papushado Starring: Lior Ashkenazi, Danny Geva, Ania Bukstein The Film: Rabies (Kalevet) was a film I had heard about some time ago, it was being billed as the first Israeli slasher film.

DVD Review: The Guest Room [MA15]

Dir: Henry Olek Starring: Ross McCall, Susan Priver, Jude Ciccolella The Film: The Guest Room (aka Serving Up Richard) is an odd gem of a film, and it is surprisingly engaging despite being labelled as a cannibal film.

[MIFF ’12] Maniac (2012)

My first thought after I was walking out of the screening was ‘scalping has never looked so artistic’. This ‘remake’ of Maniac certainly draws some of its inspiration from European arthouse horror, it really has that giallo vibe. It also draws inspiration from 70’s and 80’s exploitation, yet it aims to be more than just exploitation. Continue reading →

[Review] Cosmopolis (2012)

Cosmopolis is a film that has been dividing audiences since its debut at Cannes, and it will continue to do so. I am a huge fan of director David Cronenberg, he rarely disappoints and last year he gave me a big disappointment with A Dangerous Method. Continue reading →
