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

After the initial set up with the film, I was completely hooked and I was glued to the screen the entire time. This was a film that even managed to creep me out a little and I did actually react to an impressive scene full of ‘jump scares’. Continue reading

Dir: Alejo Mo-Sun Starring: Wes Bentley, Julian Sands, Jessica Szohr, Angus Macfadyen The Film: I really knew nothing about Hirokin before watching the film, I had seen a brief trailer and that was about it. From the trailer the film looked as if it was well made, it certainly looked nice visually; I just had … Continue reading
I have seen a number of David Mamet’s work, and I have been a fan of those I have seen. He’s a solid talent, great talent as a writer and a director. Things Change is a film I had not really heard about Continue reading

Lucky is a quirky black comedy, about serial murder and gold digging, elements that can work together however in this case they don’t quite blend. This isn’t a bad film, it also isn’t a great one either Continue reading

After the fantastic film Maria Full Of Grace, director Joshua Marston certainly placed himself on a lot of radar’s including my own. I was very curious to see how his latest effort The Forgiveness Of Blood had turned out; this was something that seemed quite different. Continue reading
Until recently, I was quite unfamiliar with the monologues of the late Spalding Gray. I was however quite familiar with his acting work, having seen him in quite a few things including The Killing Fields which acts as the subject of this week’s Blog-a-thon Swimming To Cambodia. Continue reading

Siberia, Monamour was quite a different film than the others I saw as part of the Russian Resurrection Film Festival. This was a much darker and depressing film, yet by the end there was a sense of hope and the impossible suddenly felt possible. This is the kind of film that isn’t an easy watch, … Continue reading

Every so often a film comes out of the angel-sub genre variety, and they certainly range in subject matter. I prefer films such as Dogma, and try and avoid the City Of Angels type … Continue reading
