Films, Photos, Music, Fashion, Aesthetic, Narrative, Style, Image, Dialogue. Monday, 19 December 2011. SHINE A LIGHT - BEST OF 2011. In terms of style, acting, soundtrack, vibe, vision and execution DRIVE. Was unbeaten for me. Perpetuating the classic themes of the anti-hero and the void within contemporary urban living, DRIVE. Nostalgia never tasted so good. JJ Abrams' version of a Spielberg classic is way more than nod to his mentor. It succeeds perhaps by purely being a great retelling of the ...Also ...

Films, Photos, Music, Fashion, Aesthetic, Narrative, Style, Image, Dialogue. Thursday, 11 August 2011. YOU KNOW I'M NO GOOD. Since this blog was put on hiatus, a sad day occurred in the world of music. Amy Winehouse tragically passed. Her music was pretty fucking great and it will be with us for a long time. This take on Winehouse's 'You Know I'm No Good' is rousing reminder of the timelessness of good music and good songs. Old or new, young or old, it doesn't matter.it;s just great music! Unfortunately ...

Championship Celluloid: Avengers: Age Of Ultron - Review
http://championshipcelluloid.blogspot.com/2015/04/avengers-age-of-ultron-review.html
Friday, 24 April 2015. Avengers: Age Of Ultron - Review. Nick Fury and Joss Whedon were both faced with an impossible task:. How do you solve a problem like Maria Hill? No, I obviously meant how do you bring together Marvel's greatest individual superheroes together into one successful and cohesive unit? Well thanks to Whedon's writing and directing skills, the answer was. "Very easily" because it became the most successful comic book movie of all-time. We'll skip over Thor. He recruits two "Enhanced" ch...

Championship Celluloid: February 2015
http://championshipcelluloid.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 February 2015. It Follows - review. Now and again, a horror film comes along with a central concept that is so simple yet so devilishly brilliant that you'll be kicking yourself for not thinking of it first. Sexually promiscuous teenagers are stalked by a mysterious figure who slowly walks towards them. They can run, they can hide but it will always find them and like the curse in Ringu. The only way to get rid of it is to pass it on to someone else through sexual intercourse. Not only that ...

Championship Celluloid: Ext. New York City - update
http://championshipcelluloid.blogspot.com/2015/07/ext-new-york-city-update.html
Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Ext New York City - update. It's been a while since I posted on the blog but I haven't been sitting around doing nothing. I have been watching lots of films but only posting mini review on Twitter for the time being. Instead all of my focus is currently going into my book on New York film locations. In the end we visit over 90 locations which has provided lots of material for the book which I am now in the final stages of writing. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Championship Celluloid: Glasgow Film Festival: Closing Gala - Force Majeure
http://championshipcelluloid.blogspot.com/2015/03/glasgow-film-festival-closing-gala.html
Sunday, 1 March 2015. Glasgow Film Festival: Closing Gala - Force Majeure. The 2015 Glasgow Film Festival drew to a close this evening with their Gala film premiere of the Oscar-nominated Swedish film Force Majeure. Described by Festival Co-Director Allan Gardner as "Bergman on skis", this is a darkly comic story that sees a family nearly torn apart due to the actions (or inactions) of the father during a crisis. But the optimists out there will see potential for redemption. Is a darkly comic force to be...

http://championshipcelluloid.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 18 December 2014. Review Of The Year. As 2014 comes to a end, I wanted to look back over a great year of cinema with a few personal highlights beyond my own Top Ten Films Of The Year (which you can read here. Actor Of The Year - Chris Pratt. 2014 was the year that Chris Pratt became a man. a leading man to be exact. Alongside scene-stealing turns in the likes of Delivery Man. He proved he could carry a movie with a great vocal performance as Emmett in The LEGO Movie. A cameo in Chef. Tom Hardy ...

Championship Celluloid: January 2015
http://championshipcelluloid.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 13 January 2015. Back at school, we all had that one teacher that took a particular shine to us (not in that way) and encouraged us to be better and achieve our goals, and in Whiplash. A promising young drummer finds that person in the form of music professor Fletcher, played by J.K. Simmons. But be warned, this is no Dead Poets Society. There is no "Carpe Diem" or "Oh Captain my captain" to be found here. Had pursued a career in music instead of the armed forces. Is a love story. it's just ...
