making fun of movies under the guise of serious film criticism


So, I think I can safely say that the summer has been choc full of generally above-standard movies. And I've been reviewing them.

Behold

Important questions were asked. Questions like "Did Tom Cruise really think that playing a Nazi would be the best way of ingratiating himself into the good graces of the movie-going public? Sure he's one of the good, cuddly Hitler-killing Nazis but cmon..."

You can check out my review of Valkyrie here.

And of course there is Revolutionary Road. A movie that reminds me of my parents marriage and - surprisingly - I didn't enjoy it very much. Go figure.

Don't forget Will Smith's utterly shameless bid for an Oscar, Seven Pounds.

And then of course there is Gus Van Sant's bio-pic Milk. Which is just plain very good.

As always feel free to have your say and subcribe to the podcast here.

I agree. Cruise should stick to popcorn flicks. Actually Will Smith should probably do the same!

You've probably already seen this, but I think Mark Kermode's musings on the subject of movie accents are worth a look.
