More Lige, more lions. The above version is a chopped-down abbreviation of A FRESH START, which stars Lige and Jimmie Adams, both in moustache mode. I’d be willing to bet Lige got the idea of venturing before the cameras with a naked upper lip from Buster Keaton, along with much else. Our director for this […]

Splendid singing is the key attraction of this relatively understated staging of Mozart classic Don Giovanni, performed with a specific focus on the alternate title The Rake Punished. From the dramatic opening minor chords of the overture, the exacting work of maestro Raymond Lawrence is clearly evident, as is the warm acoustic tone of live classical music at the Athenaeum. More than 40 musicians strong, the Melbourne Opera Orchestra is heard at their best, bringing expressive life to Mozart’s…

I’ve been keeping up with my movie-viewing this year, but not so much the telly side. Time to sort that out. Like half the UK, I was obsessed with season four of The Traitors in January, having caught up on prior traitoring late last year. This series was marked by the inclusion of barristers, detectives, crime writers and psychologists among its contestants, which shouldn’t be surprising: the word is out that it’s the best psychological puzzle on TV. But there’s an even wider potential…

There is a fundamental difference between two questions we often confuse. The first is: What is truth? The second is: What is true in this specific case? The first question is surprisingly easy to answer: Truth is simply the correspondence of the mind with reality. The second question—the one that requires us to get our boots dirty - is the “hard” question. It is the work of the surveyor, the researcher, and the writer. As I look at the landscape of the American West, particularly the stretch…

This animated short is a blast from start to finish… it could easily form the basis of an excellent video game. It tells the story of Bob and Pasha (the apocalypse dog of the title), who go about their business scavenging a living, with everything they own tottering and teetering on top of their rusty, dilapidated old car. Bob does, frankly, look a little too well-fed for someone living after the end of the world as we know it, but perhaps the wasteland is full of calories as well as dangers.…

Unfortunately due to trauma, most of my childhood is currently just a blank space in my head. One thing that stands out though, though it's probably more my early teenage years, is the Star Wars: The Clone Wars, especially the Ahsoka, Anakin character arc.She was the first character on a TV show or movie that I actually felt true raw emotion for. I cried for her and felt angry for Anakin.Ahsoka and AnakinThe Clone Wars also created a reason why Anakin's became Darth Vader and slowly shows his…

I do love a cautionary tale about ducks. And, as luck would have it, this very funny animated short has just come up on my radar. A number of people, looking for a little recreation, visit their local park. They hope, of course, to do the normal “parky” things, stroll around, take in the scenery, feed the ducks a little bread – that kind of thing. Something of a shock waits in store for them – some of the local ducks have worryingly changed… The animated short – entitled “Ducks” (well it would…

(this is a mirror of my review of the recently released documentary of the vaporwave music scene, Nobody Here: The Story of Vaporwave, taken from my Letterboxd account) I'll get this one out of my chest: the audacity of the people submitting this doc on this site putting Vektroid's full name in the casting, despite her face and voice literally nowhere to be seen. that alone already cemented how much worth this movie has. as someone who's still relatively a newbie to this musical movement (the…

An original lobby card promoting 'Annie Laurie' (1927).More than a month since I last posted anything on this blog. Wow!I've still been accompanying as many films as ever. It's just that I've gone through a period where real life exceeded my capacity for writing about it.But here I am again. And we'll pick up with a preview of an upcoming screening: the MGM epic 'Annie Laurie' (1927), starring Lillian Gish, which I'm accompanying this afternoon in at the Center for the Arts in Natick, Mass.The…

Video transcript: You know, when you’re watching a play, and the auditorium is silent. Nobody’s shuffling around, there’s no noise whatsoever, and you can just tell that everybody is utterly gripped. Well, that was what it was like watching Mass at the Donmar Warehouse for the entire hour and 45 minutes. This is an extraordinary play, a very powerful play, a gripping play. And it’s remarkable for a lot of reasons, not least that it’s a very static play in that for a large portion of it, you…

The Matrix Revolutions (2003)

​A good chase sequence. Maybe in Asia from the characters on the shed but not a lot of detail on it. Drones obviously are a big deal now for this. I would like to know the hare species. It can run.

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: MILD SPOILERS My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5 stars) Highly, highly unbelievable yet very entertaining. Great cast. If you want to kill about two hours and are after a fun, fast-paced movie, this delivers. It’s not profound, but it does exactly what it sets out to do, entertain.

The Double R Diner in Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks is one of the most iconic diners in television history. Known as the place “where pies go when they die,” the fictional restaurant is based on a real place you can visit in North Bend, Washington. When Frost and Lynch filmed the pilot...

The first recording today starts with the end of Animal Park. There’s trails for Three Men go to Ireland, Outnumbered and the Tracy Beaker web game. Then it’s The Pixar Story, a documentary from 2007, so it goes up to the release of Cars. This documentary is available on Disney Plus if you want to watch it. I think it’s quite good. Obviously, it concentrates a lot on John Lasseter, who was definitely the primary creative head during this time. Brad Bird wasn’t one of the original Pixar team,…

FAST AND FURIOUS is described as an Educational Mermaid Comedy, but there are no mermaids in it, educational or otherwise. And actually there’s no sex (we’re British) and no videotape really in the above clip, but I have surreptitiously taught you how to pronounce “Lige.” It’s comedian Lige Conway, short for Elijah. Conway may be […]

I went to see Mother Mary last night at the Revue Cinema, I thought it had some really cool ideas and style, but kind of felt flat on the execution.

My movie-viewing has slowed down in recent weeks, but I’ve caught a few worth mentioning. F1: The Movie (2025) was pretty much what I expected, an enjoyable but unmemorable Brad Pitt vehicle with a predictable arc. I find myself inexplicably drawn to Formula 1 movies, even though I’m as un-petrolhead as they come. It had the edge over Cowboys & Aliens, a 2011 movie with the star-power of Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford but without as much verve as its concept needed. In some ways it was director…

Yesterday, I found a post i think we're obsessed with aesthetic on the Discovery Feed. It featured quite a few nice quotes. My favourite was this one: It's a real "people die when they are killed" kind of quote. Your first reaction is probably going to be some faint amusement, accompanied by a thought like Well, duh. Thanks, Captain Obvious.1 But aside from the factual layer, it also has a personal, contemplative element. This scene shows one of those moments where you see something that you've…
