New Blood in a Deteriorating Body: Logan

At this point, a superheo film eschewing setting up spinoffs and post-credit scenes in favour of robust character development feels almost revolutionary.

February 26, 2017 in Extended Cut, Film.

Embrace of the Serpent (2015)

I understand why critics love this film, but Ciro Guerra’s diptych portrait of the imperilled Amazon never struck a nerve with me.

February 25, 2017 in 200 words, Film.

Hope in Despair, Despair from Hope: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

While Puella Magi Madoka Magica is indebted to magical girl tropes, it offers an immeasurably darker take on that material than you could imagine.

February 24, 2017 in Season Pass, Television.

‘T2’ Isn’t Just A Great Sequel, It Might Change How You Think Of ‘Trainspotting’

T2: Trainspotting succeeds because it plays like a darker, sadder, tireder, older version of the original film.

February 23, 2017 in Extended Cut, Film.

Life, Animated (2016)

Life, Animated is too intent on crafting an inspirational story of triumph over adversity.

February 20, 2017 in 200 words, Film.

Miss Sloane (2016)

Miss Sloane prioritises politicking over politics.

February 19, 2017 in 200 words, Film.

February 19, 2017 in 200 words, Season Pass, Television.

Hidden Figures (2016)

Hidden Figures, the story of three black, female mathematicians making history in the sixties, is one hell of a crowd-pleaser.

February 18, 2017 in Extended Cut, Film.

‘Silence’ Review: Martin Scorsese Is Messing With Us, But Is It Worth The Pain?

Silence subtly subverts the insidious narrative of meaningful misery that’s so ubiquitous in Western (and Christian) culture.

February 15, 2017 in Extended Cut, Film.

La Belle Saison (2016)

The premise reads like arthouse erotica: a French farmgirl moves to Paris, falls in love with another woman, has a lot of sex.

February 13, 2017 in 200 words, Film.
