Spring Breakers
If you listen to MarBelle’s Trash Humpers conversation with Harmony Korine he sounds like a pretty ‘normal’ guy. His films however would tend to suggest a completely different the reality lurking just beneath the surface. It’s no secret that Korine’s work is quite divisive (if you don’t believe me check out the comments under El [...]
What Richard Did
I was intrigued to hear about an Irish film that appeared to be loosely based on the story of [Spoiler Alert: Don't click if you don't want to know the full synopsis!] Brian Murphy; if I was to mention that my favourite foods are roast potatoes and Taytos you can probably deduce that I’m Irish, [...]
Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God
I’m not sure if you’ve noticed but the Catholic church is in somewhat of a quandary of late. What with the fact that it is effectively leaderless due to the departure of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and the small issue of scandal which is threatening to topple the church worldwide. When I hear about a [...]
Safety Not Guaranteed
When a trailer pops up for a film that looks to be a melange of quirk and Nick Miller from New Girl my interest is always piqued. Safety Not Guaranteed is based upon a true advert run as a joke by a magazine worker, which sought a companion for a time travelling mission but also [...]
Subs 2012 Top Ten
As 2012 rumbles to a close I can’t decide whether this was a vintage year for film or not. There have been some amazing films (as detailed below, and I hope you agree) but they all seemed to arrive in a flurry at the end of the year. Whilst I have attempted to put these [...]
Seven Psychopaths
Before I begin my review in earnest let me say that I am pretty sure Seven Psychopaths is my film of the year. Writer/Director Martin McDonagh has surpassed himself. And now that the tone of has been set, let’s begin… Seven Psychopaths is the tale of Marty (Colin Farrell), a borderline (more on that later), [...]
LFF2012: Sightseers
Following a stint in Cannes, DN favourite Ben Wheatley premiered his new film as part of the Comedy Gala at the 56th BFI London Film Festival. His third feature, Sightseers, is the first time we’ve seen Wheatley solely direct as opposed to write and directed, the script being penned by stars Alice Lowe and Steve [...]
Take This Waltz
Beware, spoilers ahead so come back after watching if that’s a bother. You have been warned! I’ve always been suspicious of couples who have a schtick in constantly talking to each other in baby language or the like. Apologies if you’re one half of said couples but I can’t help my opinion and there it [...]
A Triple Hit of Fashion
Things That I Like: Beautiful images (both still and moving) Looking at clothes so expensive you could purchase a house outright in some countries Tea There are others but you really don’t need me reciting my likes and dislikes in the manner of a personal ad. Tim Walker has long been one of my favourite [...]
The Church of London: What We’re Doing; What We’ve Done
Sometimes an invite drops through the letterbox/inbox that can’t be turned down, even if it is the first school night after a heavy four day weekend. Such an invite was the opening of 71a Leonard Street, the new space inhabited by The Church of London. TCOLondon is the creative agency behind Little White Lies and [...]
