  • Yellowstone 3 Autumn

    ★★★★½ Watched 12 Apr, 2013

    The BBC Yellowstone series is rounded off in riveting style with the last episode, Autumn. Whilst watching this series, I wondered why they hadn’t A) chosen to do four episodes, one for each season and B) start with spring and head through to winter. However, on reflection the order that the BBC opted for does work remarkably well.

    This entry is likely the best of the trio, if only because it introduces and examines the human element too. Of course,…

  • Yellowstone 2 Summer

    ★★★★½ Watched 11 Apr, 2013

    The second episode in the Yellowstone series, this is equally as good as the first, if not better.

    Daniel Day Lewis is the backbone of the film,…

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 16 Aug, 2012 6

    “Nature is Satan's church.”
    -She (Charlotte Gainsbourg)

    Over on the Internet Movie Database, someone once described Lars Von Trier as, and I quote, ‘an arty wanker’.
    Now, although that is perhaps the most unsophisticated and rudimentary way of expressing it, they did have a point. It isn’t hard to see why Trier could be considered pretentious, especially with his most controversial outing yet, Antichrist.

    To say it is unforgettable is a gross understatement. Rather, for better or worse, it sears…
