Letterboxd — Your life in film

Enjoyable and informative look at the history of the Oxford music scene, which spawned the likes of Radiohead and Supergrass.

My review: www.cine-vue.com/2013/05/dvd-review-bullhead.html

A wasted opportunity to do cinematic justice to a fine literary creation.

Thoroughly enjoyable and gleefully trashy apocalyptic teen angst yarn.

Refreshing to see such a liberal, non-judgemental stance on sexual boundaries and preferences in what is essentially a mainstream feature.

Forgot how fantastic this film was. Clooney is absolutely superb and Payne just goes from strength to strength. Can't wait for Nebraska.

Trying to top, or even equal, 2009’s rip-roaring reboot was one hell of a challenge for J.J. Abrams. Unsurprisingly, neither has been achieved here, but Star Trek Into Darkness is still a superior summer crowd-pleaser.

What stops it from reaching those lofty heights of its predecessor is largely Abrams’ insistence on paying homage to Trek past, which ultimately feels overcooked and too on the nose to really resonance emotionally.

A little disappointing, but warp speeds away from the disaster some are labelling it.

A second viewing of my film of the year, so far: www.cine-vue.com/2013/04/dvd-review-what-richard-did.html

Not half as fecking clever as it thinks it is. A convoluted Tremors wannabe (partially) redeemed by some fantastic GCI. Russell Tovey is really horrible in it.

Think upbeat version of Larry Clark's Kids and you're somewhere close to the style of this authentic, rough and ready look at the lives of two semi-impoverished Bronx teens.

As far from a picture postcard view of New York as you could (mercifully) get, and a fine debut from ex-Woody Allen production assistant, Adam Leon.
