Ged Murray May 17, 2017 0
A lot of well regarded, lasting films were released 10 years ago. No Country for Old Men, Zodiac, The Assassination of Jesse James, There Will Be Blood, Superbad, Persepolis and many others all celebrate their decade anniversary this year.…

Film Review | Why Can’t I Remember Watching Sleepless?

Ged Murray May 10, 2017 0
I'm already forgetting this film. Sleepless tells the story of a heist gone wrong in such a rote way that it feels like it's daring me to remember any of it. Sitting down to write a review of this, just over 24 hours after watching it, I…

Film Review | Park Chan Wook’s The Handmaidenis Simultaneously Restrained, Sexy and Totally…

Ged Murray Apr 14, 2017 0
No matter the continent or time period one should never get involved in psychosexual mind games with posh people. It'll only lead to some kind of exquisite grief. Anyone familiar with Park Chan Wook's work will know that his films…

Film Review | CHIPS may be a Contender for the Worst Movie of 2017

Ged Murray Mar 23, 2017 0
There was a point while watching CHIPS when I realised that I was actively hoping that both the leads might die in a motorcycle accident. That was at about the twenty five minute mark. There was over an hour to go.…

Film Review | Is Kong: Skull Island a Monster Hit or another Cynical Reboot?

Ged Murray Mar 7, 2017 0
It's interesting that much of the promotional material for Kong: Skull Island deliberately evokes Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Don't put too much stock in this. This isn't a re-imagining of the King Kong story as a Heart of Darkness style…

Film Review | The Lego Batman Movie is a Wonderful, Energetic Superhero Parody

Ged Murray Feb 12, 2017 0
The Lego Movie, proved that you could base a movie on a toy line without it feeling like a soulless, empty cash in. It was a lovely shock. Now capitalism demands a follow up. As much as we all liked the 2014 effort the thought of a Lego…

Ged Murray Jan 31, 2017 0
20th Century Women is a film about there being no consensus. Single Mom Dorothea (Annette Benning) is running a boarding house in 1979 Santa Barbara. She invites the women in her life to help raise her son Jamie to 'be a man'. The invitees…

Film Review | Jackie is a Visceral Watch, But Can It Transcend The Limitations of the Biopic?

Ged Murray Jan 17, 2017 0
Films that are sold based on a star's strong central performance can send alarms bells ringing. It can seem as worthy as someone going on about just how God damn organic their food is. It's all well and good but is it in the…

Film Review | The Edge of SeventeenMay Be Predictable, But It Gives Us Genuinely Sympathetic…

Ged Murray Nov 30, 2016 0
Do you have time for another teen coming of age comedy? The Edge of Seventeen sticks to a well worn formula for the genre. After a prologue featuring some needless narration we settle into a familiar high school setting. We follow Nadine…

Film Review | Arrival is an Alien Invasion Movie That Combines Impressive Visuals with Wordy Ideas

Ged Murray Oct 21, 2016 0
There's a daunting strangeness to much of Arrival, Denis Villeneuve's will they/won't they alien invasion movie. There is awe here but it's mixed with dread. It's not Spielbergian, childish awe but the awe of encountering something that may…
