I really love westerns. And I mean REALLY love westerns.I may not be buttfuck crazy about them, and I can't claim to have seen them all, however - I can claim to love them more than just about any other genre of film. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly currently ranks as my favorite, and as such it's k...

Tonight I'm staying in, drinking port and watching Elizabeth on TV. I'm not really well versed in the Tutors (help Ehjay) so I don't know how good this movie is from a historical point of view. That said I don't believe I've ever been so aroused by a movie woman before in my life - she kicks ass (mi...

In fact, of the five nominees for best picture—"Milk," "Frost/Nixon," "The Reader," "Slumdog Millionaire," and "Benjamin Button"—only "Milk," a bio-pic with a thrilling sense of history and lots of jokes and sex, has the aesthet...

Today I spent most of the day looking for sheets and discussing Thread Count with various salespeople...But as well I watched the CF's "reality" series Basic Up which follows a group of people on Basic Military Qualification (BMQ) at St. Jean in 2006.

The Grocer's son (Le fils de l'épicier) written and directed by Éric Guirado, is superb. As usual, I'm too lazy and too unskilled to write a proper review. So I'll steal some quotes from Stephen Holden's excellent review (NYT 6 Jun 08) to do the job.The rolling countryside of Provence ...

I've not much liked the James Bond flicks over the years; the comic adventure genre rarely appeals to me. Yet I liked Casino Royale. Director Martin Campbell gave the film depth and intelligence and Daniel Craig filled the more refined role well. But Quantum of Solace, with director Campbell replace...

I doubt that I will be able to sit through Baz Luhrmann's newly released movie Australia without cringing or simply walking out. Julian Glover in The Guardian calls it a "spectacularly bloated film -- a project so immodest that it has been named after the country it claims to describe." Wh...

Australian critics are raving about Burn After Reading, lauding it as very funny. James and I went along and were bored and disappointed -- clichéd spy jokes and marital infidelity and incompetence on a grand scale. As Eureka Street's reviewer, Tim Kroenert, comments, Burn After Reading, &quo...
