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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The favourite films of what has to be my favourite video site of ’09. Some good picks in there certainly worth your time.
Whilst we may have hung the podcast mic up until the new year, it would be wrong to leave you with so much spare time and nothing to occupy it with, and so as is traditional at this time of year, we’ve asked some friends to join us over the next week or so in [...]
Last year I thought I’d get ahead of myself and the foreboding I feel about putting this list together by picking out favourite films as I watched them. I’m glad I did, but to be honest the real pain isn’t in decided what films left a lasting impression, but rather in working from a shortlist [...]
Our final guest top ten (yes I’m buying time for my own list by posting the others’ first) comes from my long time friend Monika Volsing, a lady who represents all things style and culture in the North. Incidentally, it is she that reawakened my interest in animation a few years back with an impromptu [...]
As opposed to last year, where I complained (quite a lot) about the lack of decent films I’d seen at the cinema, this year it appears I’ve seen too many…..although, I’m obviously not complaining about that! However, after much thought and internal debate I managed to get my list slimmed down to a top ten. [...]
If you’re a long-term DN reader, you’ll know that while the rest of the net has put their ‘Best of’ lists to bed by early December, we hold out until the year is completely done and dusted to leave viewing space for us to agonise over those last minute movie wonders. This time round we [...]
The folks over at Soda Pictures have been a wrangling favourite films of the year out of their nearest and dearest, me included. I do take exception at not being granted a reprieve from a single pick as some [cough] were, but it’s a nice group of must sees to check out, whilst we procrastinate [...]
