The 2012 Emmy Awards
The 2012 Emmy Awards have been and gone, with Modern Family and Homeland being the big winners. The show itself was fairly straight forward, no real mishaps or disasters. A few jokes didn’t hit, Seth MacFarlane didn’t seem to generate a reaction except for his Stewie impression. It was a fairly safe show, mildly entertaining … Continue reading

[IFF ’12] Mini Reviews: The Last Earthling and One Day More
Mini Review: The Last Earthling (L’ultimo terrestre) The Last Earthling (aka The Last Man On Earth) is a truly remarkable debut feature from writer/director Gian Alfonso Pacinotti. This was based on the graphic novel by Giacomo Monti, I am not sure how faithful it is but the film on its own merits is quite an … Continue reading

[IFF ’12] Mini Reviews: Magnificent Presence and The Entrepeneur
Magnificent Presence is a wonderful film; it is a clever balance of comedy and drama with truly great performances. Director Ferzan Ozpetek has successfully crafted a modern ghost story that doesn’t aim to scare but is instead a mystery and a journey of self-discovery. Continue reading

[AFFFF ’12] À bout portant (Point Blank)
Point Blank is an intense thriller, that is exciting and extremely well put together. The film follows a familiar formula, but it has a fresh spin on it, I am sure there will be comparisons to things like Taken or even something like Nick Of Time. It is a film with the high stakes and … Continue reading
[AFFFF ’12] Et Soudain Tout Le Monde Me Manque (The Day I Saw Your Heart)
The Day I Saw Your Heart is an odd little film, one of the comedy/drama and slightly quirky variety. These types of film can go either way, this one falls somewhere in the middle, not quite being able to reach greater heights but not a total failure either. The story is about a family, two … Continue reading
[AFFFF ’12] Poupoupidou (Nobody Else But You)
Every so often a film comes along and is absolutely surprising and not at all what was expected. Nobody Else But You or Poupoupidou as I prefer is that film for me, I had my expectations on what it was about and how it may unfold but it was not at all what I thought … Continue reading
[AFFFF ’12] Les Contes de La Nuit (Tales Of The Night)
Tales Of The Night is a wonderfully unique visual experience; its animation is stunning and quite stylised. I was impressed simply by the look of this film, it is wonderfully crafted from the get go. The story here is a simple one, it features three friends in a Parisian theatre who come up with stories … Continue reading
[AFFFF ’12] J’aime Regarder Les Filles (18 Years Old And Rising)
18 Years Old And Rising is another example of why I absolutely love French cinema; more specifically in the way it portrays young people. This is a coming of age story about a young man, and what it does right is give us a real character. He isn’t a character who is wise beyond his … Continue reading
[AFFFF ’12] Le Chat Du Rabbin (The Rabbi’s Cat)
The Rabbi’s Cat is what I would call a pleasant surprise; I went into this film blind. I had no idea other than it was an animation, of what it was about or the back story. You see this film was originally a 5-part comic series, which was highly popular in France from writer and … Continue reading
[Review] Chronicle
Chronicle turned out to be an unexpected gem, I would put this down to the marketing for the film. It was very unique, it didn’t reveal itself for what it truly was, but it certainly placed an idea of what it may be in my mind, and as it turned out it was quite a … Continue reading
