Just quickly putting out a reminder about this month’s ‘Who’s That?’ quiz. The answers will be going up at the end of the month, but for those of you who missed the earlier post about this and wanted to make a guess, then I would like to draw your attention to the header above. The […]
Reblogged from filmhipster: Hipster for a Day (James Walpole) I’m so glad to have James from Mr Rumsey’s Film Related Musings as a Hipster for a Day today. His reviews are so intriguing and I really look forward to seeing what he puts out on a weekly basis. James also has a fun feature called […]
Jeff Bridges gives a really great performance here as Bad; a country singer who’s chasing the success levels that he once had, in an industry that he’s growing somewhat disillusioned with. He’s self destructive and can’t seem to sort his life out, but then he meets Jean Craddock (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and she may just be […]
I’m a big fan of the Coen brothers’ No Country for Old Men, and I’m especially a fan of Javier Bardem’s fantastic performance in it – as it seems are most people. However, re-watching Biutiful has reminded me that he has at least one performance out there that can top his work with the Coens, […]

Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson) from Watchmen! So April was somewhat surprising; it brought in a record number of guessers, and the silhouette that I thought was one of the toughest so far seemed to present little challenge to a large number of you! As always it was fun seeing all your different guesses come rolling […]
Cianfrance’s second film after Blue Valentine (also starring Ryan Gosling) is once again a film dealing with turmoil and human struggle, even though in scope his two films are close to being at opposite ends of the spectrum. Blue Valentine was a very intimate examination of a relationship between two people over a number of […]
Oblivion’s greatest strength is in its appearance; the Icelandic landscape lends the film an initial sense of power, desolation, and beauty, which it would otherwise struggle to acquire, and the designs of ships, architecture, and clothing are all pretty impressive. This all really works when drawing us in and creating the movie’s own world, it’s […]
This review is part of Film Police’s Hitchcock Appreciation month. There’s always great work going on at that site so please head on over and check it out some of the other posts here!
