Money Ball – Movie Review (2011) Billy Beane may very well have achieved something great in Oakland during the 2002 season- but from this point forward he will be able to include this statement in the same breath, “Brad Pitt played me in a movie.” MONEYBALL combines two of my biggest passions, it’s a movie […]
Meera deserves a ‘Pride of Performance Award’ says her fiancé’s father The controversy queen of Pakistan, No, not Veena Malik… it’s the same old Meera who has yet again become the centre of attention for the whole nation. The Queen of Lollywood who recently got engaged is now receiving threats from her tobe father in […]
It is that time of the week when our panel of movie enthusiasts recommend a movie for your viewing pleasure. This week we recommend Richard Ayoade’s ‘Submarine‘. Romantic comedies are more often than not a predictable affair. Theres comedy at the beginning as the couple meets and develops feeling for one another, before things take […]
Young Adult (2011) – Movie Review There’s something almost subversive about the way “Young Adult” picks apart the conventions of the contemporary movie comedy. Unexpectedly sinister and bleak, director Jason Reitman’s film borrows from the romantic-comedy formula, but injects a note of realism by showing what happens when the antisocial pathologies of a broadly drawn […]
Land Gold Women (2011) – Movie Preview This is a line every film student should drill into their heads before they set out to make their first feature. No doubt that Hari — a London Film School grad who makes her debut with Land Gold Women — is probably aware of this. It shows, in […]
Splice (2009) – Movie Review It starts with a monster. But then, it always does, doesn’t it? Created in a lab, intended for great things, but undone by the hubris and short-sightedness of its creators, it ultimately destroys those who presume to nurture and protect it while leaving behind some short-hand lessons about poking Mother […]
Bend It like Beckham (2002) Lest we forget, the World Cup looms large on the horizon. However, there is one reason to celebrate football coming home: Bend It like Beckham. Gurinder Chadha’s unabashedly feelgood comedy is a hugely entertaining mix of East Is East and Billy Elliot, about a young woman striving to realise her […]
Hugo (2011) – Movie Review “Hugo” is based on the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick. I read the book with my 8 year old son last year, and we loved, loved, and loved it. We couldn’t wait until the movie came out! We went to the midnight showing on opening day, […]
The Grey – Movie Review By day Ottway (Liam Neeson) guards the men working on an Alaskan oil pipeline, picking off the man-hunting wolves that occasionally lunge at his co-workers. At night he sticks his gun in his mouth and thinks “I’ve stopped doing this world any real good”. Flashbacks to a woman clearly no […]
99 – Movie Review! Nothing is more frustrating than being stuck on 99, where only one run can bring you glory or the lack of it can make all your hard work seem like a waste. The Laurel and Hardy of this Friday’s release 99 are stuck in a similar situation. The world is their […]
Se7en (1995) – Blast from a past! If, for some reason, you need your films more intense and scarier than Se7en, then seek help immediately. Se7en instantly turned me into a fan of David Fincher. Few films leave one thinking about them and their images days, weeks and even years later as does Fincher’s 1995 […]
The Forgiveness of Blood – Movie Review There’s something strange about Albania, at least to Western eyes. No, two things are spooky. First, when that country was under Communist rule, it was as isolated as North Korea is today. Sporting monuments of Stalin, the Albanian government was against the road of moderation that the Soviet […]
