Music to My Ears: Film Scores that Inspired Me
Music to My Ears: Film Scores that Inspired Me
Music, or the lack thereof is just as important as any diegetic sound like dialogue or effects. Film/Tv/Video Game soundtracks are amongst my favourite genres of music to listen to in my spare time, so I wanted to take a closer look at the music of a few films that have stuck with me. Here, in no particular order, are some film soundtracks that have inspired me since a young age and why they’re…

'Velvet Buzzsaw' Scathingly Critiques Criticism...Then a Horror Film Happens
‘Velvet Buzzsaw’ Scathingly Critiques Criticism…Then a Horror Film Happens
As a big fan of Dan Gilroy’s 2015 effort Nightcrawler, a seedy, atmospheric and utterly gripping character study of an ambitious sociopath, I decided to give 2019’s Velvet Buzzsaw a whirl (pun intended). Unsure of exactly what in was in for, given the very divisive reviews and unfavourable audience reaction, I was amused to find that it revolves around…criticism. Specifically an LA art critic and…

Netflix Recommendations: January 2021
Netflix Recommendations: January 2021
With 2020 in the rear-view mirror, perhaps we can look forward to better things. But since many of us are stuck in lockdown again, why not while away some of January with these movies? The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020) My top pick is this dramatisation of the infamous 1968 trial that took place after a violent clash between police and anti-Vietnam War protesters. This is a powerful and gripping…

A Masochist's Guide to the 'Star Wars Holiday Special'
It was fun to write about, not so much to watch. This week I present 'A Masochist's Guide to the 'Star Wars Holiday Special'. Merry Christmas!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year apparently. And during this most auspicious of seasons, to my surprise, I came across the Star Wars Holiday special online. Out of morbid curiosity, I decided punish myself. Because I’ve been a naughty boy or something. For the uninitiated, the Star Wars Holiday Special is an infamous TV movie that aired in the Christmas of 1978, after the runaway success…

Top Ten James Bond Films: Part 2 (#5-#1)
Top Ten James Bond Films: Part 2 (#5-#1)
And we’re into the top five. Whilst subjectivity inevitably plays a big part in any ranking list, my complaints for the following are few. They are a handful of films I’d heartily recommend to those with even only a casual interest in James Bond, each one of them perfect gateways into the series.
#5 The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

Roger Moore’s Bond and Richard Kiel as Jaws. The metal teeth…

Top Ten James Bond Films Part 1 (#10-#6)
Top Ten James Bond Films Part 1 (#10-#6)
This is going to be a long one, so I thought it best to to split into two parts. Look out for the top five Bond movies, coming tomorrow!
The James Bond films were a staple part of my childhood and have remained a part of my life ever since. With No Time to Die still months away after a second delay and the recent passing of cinematic icon Sean Connery, I thought it finally time to weigh in on…

November Netflix Recommendations
Tumblr media
Since we’re all still locked down and I thought it time to properly utilise my Netflix membership, I have rekindled my love of just taking a chance and diving into movies simply because they sound like my cup of tea. I’m happy to say the results have been mostly positive and here I’d like to share some of the best before they disappear from the site.
