El Vez 2009 Top Ten
Gaining a press pass for the London Film Festival this year, has almost certainly not made the task of writing an annual top ten film list any easier. After drawing up an initial list, which consisted of at least double the amount of films I needed, I’ve now completed the cull and whittled it down [...]
Miss D 2009 Top Ten
This is my third year of composing a top ten and it doesn’t get any easier. As I explained a couple of years ago, who’s to say that if I saw my number one film on another day when I wasn’t in quite such a good mood that it would still be my number one? [...]
Neil Fox The Dirty Dozen 2009
It felt like another strong year as I struggled to get all my favourites down to twelve. When people say films aren’t as good as they used to be, I point to the first three here. As always, the list is based on the release dates of the films. See you in 2010. 1. Where [...]
The People of Brighton
As a resident for the past 7+ years I was bound to be partial to this, but Sim Warren’s Canon 7D cinematography (and kick arse lower 3rds) is hard to resist purely on merit. The People of Brighton – Short Film from Sim Warren on Vimeo.
Jeanie Finlay 2009 Top Twelve
I’ve decided to break the rules slightly and am not exclusively listing films that were released in 2009 but films that I saw this year which made an impact on me. I saw some of them at film festivals, some at the cinema and some on DVD. I’m also being especially greedy and choosing my [...]
Back to the Future Event
To help us all get past the post Christmas hump, the fine folks over at Film Friends Forever are presenting their Back to the Future London screening event on Wednesday 6th January, which will be ‘a look at how the film pioneers from a 100 years ago thought we would be living our lives today.’ [...]
Monika Volsing 2009 Top Ten
Presented in no particular order I have for you; four horror films, two children’s tales, one action flick, one Tarantino, one obituary, one Zowie Bowie (and a partridge in a pear tree) – a good mix, even if I do say so myself… Sherlock Holmes – Guy Ritchie I’m mentioning this because I’ve not allowed [...]
Top 10 Short Films of 2009
Tis most certainly the season of reviewing and ranking, but whilst most film sites have their focus firmly on the feature length film, that cheerleader of its little brother Short of the Week has (with the help of El Vez, the other writers and myself) gathered together a premiere list of the Top 10 Short [...]
Best 25 Films of the Noughts
Whilst we’re in the mood for lists, take a look at The Final Girl Project’s Best 25 Films of the Noughts.
Vimeo’s 25 favorite videos of 2009
The favourite films of what has to be my favourite video site of ’09. Some good picks in there certainly worth your time.
