http://insert-text-hear.blogspot.com/2011/01/laughter-in-dark-five-films-where-you.html

Movieez and culture sliced - hold the mint sauce. Monday, 24 January 2011. Laughter in the dark: Five films where you shouldn't really be laughing . 1996, UK, Peter Mullan. Sweary Scottish folk smash statues of the Virgin Mary, manhandle disabled people and get semen in their faces. And it's bookended by a death and a funeral. OK, so it's not all played for laughs but Peter Mullan's directorial debut is melting with dark, wry humour almost winning out amongst the inevitable dour Celticiana. Put some of t...

Movieez and culture sliced - hold the mint sauce. Tuesday, 18 January 2011. In Cinemas: Blue Valentine. Although Blue Valentine's scenes alternate between the start and the end of a relationship, we rarely, respectively, feel particularly hopeful or particularly dismal. The jarring nature of this alternation instead produces a muddy, complicated effect which makes this indie drama a lot more interesting than it first appears. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Movieez and culture sliced - hold the mint sauce. Monday, 17 May 2010. Werner Herzog interprets the word ‘remake’ rather loosely in The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. It’s based on the controversial 1992 Abel Ferrera movie, which saw Harvey Keitel abusing his authority, rampaging around LA in order to find good drugs, bad sex and worse. It’s exactly what you expect from Herzog. It is inherently bizarre. Which, depending on how you look at it, is either brilliant or rather boring. Modern Art Ox...

insert text hear: You may have missed ... The Infidel

http://insert-text-hear.blogspot.com/2011/01/you-may-have-missed-infidel.html

Movieez and culture sliced - hold the mint sauce. Saturday, 22 January 2011. You may have missed . The Infidel. The Infidel attempts something few British films have yet done – portray an everyday British- Muslim family just trying to get by. Throughout, glimmers of insight and the genuinely funny peep through. However, there's a lot more cons than the pros in this disappointing feature. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Movieez and culture sliced - hold the mint sauce. Thursday, 10 February 2011. Now on DVD: The Joneses. David Duchovny proves what a gifted light comedian he is in The Joneses. It's a shame Demi Moore is her same wooden self and the film barely hangs together. A wasted opportunity, then. But watch it for Duchovny. 10 October 2011 at 20:33.

Movieez and culture sliced - hold the mint sauce. Monday, 18 October 2010. For all those who can't see the grimy toxicity of David Fincher's finger prints all over The Social Network , I point you to several points. Firstly, how was his last movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a recognisable Fincher movie? And, secondly, have you watched The Social Network? He may be an addict like millions across the globe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. View my complete profile.

But that's for another kind of blog – I also had to write something quick on the Oscar noms. Few surprises – this was year was a safe list. All the expected movies got shouts – The King's Speech. In particular, was draped with nominations. Aside from this biggie, Brits didn't do badly at all this time around - Another Year. Nicole Kidman - Rabbit Hole. John ...

Movieez and culture sliced - hold the mint sauce. Monday, 7 June 2010. You've got the look. Either way, the exhibition is fundamentally about the voyeurism. The pictures are so shocking as they are taken illicitly, or are of illicit things. We are confronted with the dialogue between the pleasure and horror we get from looking at some of them. We are even asked to consider whether photography is itself an inherently intrusive medium. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. Learn th...
