http://ministryofrumandginger.blogspot.com/2010/07/action-is-juice.html
Sunday, 25 July 2010. The Action is the Juice. Threw this together very quickly, just to exercise a muscle as it were. I've done very little image work recently, I don't want to go rusty. I've been mired in writing for a while now. I did have s hot at designing an album cover for a band I know, but I think I failed the audition. I'll probably share those on. Black Dog vs Ice-Cream. As they're not quite the flavour I like over here. Basically I just like the letters. I hope you enjoy. Ta ra for now. I lik...

We can rebuild him. Thursday, May 31, 2007. Shuffle : Three-Quarters Blind Eyes/Found a Little Baby. I love when songs begin with a count in. One, two, three.". He asks in "Found a Little Baby", and his only answer is that hummed chorus and the title line. They resemble the greatest double A-sided singles in that its impossible to choose between them, each song so different yet so good. Posted by David N at 12:55 am. Saturday, May 26, 2007. I'm just lucky.". Posted by David N at 1:07 am. Before about my ...

Every film I see, read all about it. Spoiler Warning: There Will Be Spoilers. Friday, 14 November 2014. Grace; Young Thugs 2: Nostalgia; Seven Psycopaths; Kings of Summer; Night of the Creeps; Taffin. Low budget horror about a woman whose baby dies. She manages to bring it back to life through sheer willpower, but it comes back…wrong. Young Thugs 2: Nostalgia. Advertised as the favourite of Takashi Miike’s own films, there is no doubt some aspect of autobiography in this adaptation of Riichi Nakaba.

Every film I see, read all about it. Spoiler Warning: There Will Be Spoilers. Sunday, 22 June 2014. Bicycle Thieves; Never Let Me Go; Little Big Soldier; The Grapes Of Wrath; Oz The Great And Powerful; Black Pond. The location shooting is very evocative in a way that seems like it would be impossible to replicate these days, with touches like the wise woman and the mob surrounding Antonio when he locates the thief all feeling like local people rather than actors. Never Let Me Go. Rather than focus on the...

Every film I see, read all about it. Spoiler Warning: There Will Be Spoilers. Saturday, 5 October 2013. Brooklyn's Finest; Dragon Eyes. Antoine Fuqua’s 2001 entry Training Day was critically acclaimed, and Brooklyn’s Finest feels a lot closer to that film than to the likes of The Shooter and King Arthur that came in between. Well acted and cracking on at a fair pace, Fuqua’s Finest is an enjoyable if not particularly original. A man appears in a town in trouble, run by criminal gangs and corrupt cops, an...

We can rebuild him. Friday, March 30, 2007. Screengrab - "Its my manor! But he also has some great dialogue to wrap those London vowel sounds around, especially his famous farewell speech to his prospective American partners, which ends with the following lines: "The Mafia? Posted by David N at 1:59 am. Wednesday, March 28, 2007. A spectacle of fearsome acts.". Russell Crowe perhaps, or George Clooney?

We can rebuild him. Monday, January 22, 2007. Wanted : For Being a Dick. Which depicts its hero getting kicked, punched and landing repeatedly on his crotch. The President himself is an ex-wrestler and porn star who cannot understand why his country's crops have stopped growing - they are being sprayed with a soft-drink rather than water - and who keeps order in his "House of Reprasentin" with a sub-machine gun. Advertisements spout slogans like "If you don't smoke Tarrlytons - fuck you! But a show like ...

We can rebuild him. Thursday, December 28, 2006. Posted by David N at 2:37 am. Friday, December 22, 2006. On Football - No. 4 : Mark Hughes. Sometimes you simply cannot avoid football cliches. Sometimes they say it all, so well, that you have to embrace them. Mark Hughes, or Sparky, as Man Utd fans know him, was never a great goalscorer. But he was most definitely a scorer of great goals. He saved Man Utd in the 1994 FA Cup final with a volley in the last few minutes:. Posted by David N at 9:09 pm. She o...
