Now You See Me

June 22, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

Magic hasn’t had the greatest PR over the years, with magicians viewed in some circles as just tricksters and frauds. They are, after all, people who are actively trying to deceive an audience and so, in some ways, not to… Continue Reading →

Man Of Steel

June 16, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

Zack Snyder’s last film was Sucker Punch, the most misguided attempt at making a film about female empowerment ever and the worst film I have ever seen. I have seen pornography with greater artistic merits. He has now made a… Continue Reading →

Behind The Candelabra

June 16, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

Is this Steven Soderbergh’s last movie? I hope not, but if it is, it’s a brilliant way to go out. I knew nothing of Liberace before this film, aside from the extravagant dress sense, that he played piano, and that… Continue Reading →

The Iceman

June 16, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

I’ve been a little under the weather and it’s left me with a little bit of a backlog of movies so I’m going to make these next 3 reviews a little shorter than usual. No need to thank me. So… Continue Reading →

Populaire

June 7, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

Populaire is a curious film. Almost anything set in the recent(ish) past nowadays has to do so with a sly nod and wink in some way, acknowledging how the world has changed, or glorying in the way things used to… Continue Reading →

A Hijacking

May 27, 2013Benjamin 1 Comment

Denmark has, in recent years, become the centre of dramatic revolution, with television series like The Killing and The Bridge wowing highbrow television viewers in ways that a British series hasn’t for a long time, while films like The Hunt… Continue Reading →

Fast & Furious 6

May 20, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

Let’s keep this short, shall we. This is a Fast & Furious movie. The 6th one, in case you couldn’t tell. And you know what that means – cars, racing, speed, explosions, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, scripts and acting of… Continue Reading →

Evil Dead

April 22, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

I need to start this with a confession. I have never seen The Evil Dead. Not the Evil Dead movie – I saw that at the weekend – but the original, which has the definite article as part of its… Continue Reading →

The Place Beyond The Pines

April 22, 2013Benjamin Leave a Comment

I am unconvinced by Ryan Gosling. There was a critical mass of opinion supporting him as the latest great American actor (notwithstanding the fact that he’s Canadian) after his performance in Drive, Nicolas Winding Refn’s LA crime thriller of last… Continue Reading →
