Some thoughts about the 6 films we saw during the Gone Fishing seminar last week, starting with the obvious.
Gone Fishing
Gone Fishing is, in all honesty, a very good film and I really am not just saying that because it was the focus of the seminar or because Chris Jones is a nice guy. I hadn’t [...]

Gone Fishing Seminar: The Short Films
I Love Sarah-Jane
Just to prove that I’m not a totally miserable bastard, here’s a short film about zombies which is, in my ever so humble opinion, totally fucking awesome. This is a director to keep an eye on.
Watch it here
God-Emperor of City 17
I’ve been holding back from writing this post for a couple of weeks.
If you pick through the fetid archives of this blog, you’ll find circumstantial evidence that I am a big fan of the Half-Life series of games produced by Valve Software. Recently a short film got released onto the intertubes called “Escape From City [...]
Blade Runner Final Cut at IMAX (Friday 20th Feb)
At midnight this Friday, I shall be comfortably ensconced in the BFI IMAX cinema near Waterloo, keenly anticipating the IMAX presentation of Blade Runner: The Final Cut. I am already getting quite excited about it.
If you happen to be in London on Friday – or if you happen to be going to see the film [...]
A Dark Day for The Dark Knight
See what I did there? Clever, innit! What? Alright, alright! No need to be rude about it! Jeez – switch to decaf.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah – this hoo-haa about Christian Bale losing his rag with a DoP on the set of Terminator: Salvation. What a douche! To put it in his own words, [...]
Home Invasion
I engaged in a rather bizarre double bill back in December – bizarre not only because of the astronomical difference in quality of the two films in question but also because I saw them on different days. Well, alright, it wasn’t a proper double bill but whatever. The point was that I watched two films [...]
No, really…
… The Dark Knight IS that good.
It’s nearly 24 hours later and I can’t help but think about the film and wonder if I can squeeze in another screening tonight. Already arranged to go and see it on IMAX with a friend but in the meantime, now I’ve had a day to digest, I think [...]
The Dark Knight (USA, 2008)
As I slipped into my black armoured jacket, pulled on my mask and fired up the ignition, I had to remind myself that I am not, in fact, Batman and that my bike is not, in fact, the Batpod and does not come equipped with missile launchers with which I can blast cars out of [...]
The Mist (USA, 2007)
I finally got to see “The Mist” last night. First things first – I feel compelled and duty bound to warn anyone who’s an arachnophobe that The Mist doesn’t carry a warning but very obviously fucking should do that the film contains spiders. Fuck that “Warning: may contain mild peril” shit – if a film [...]
Want an ‘orrible time, deary?
I break blog silence to tell you that Dr Horrible’s Sing-along blog is now live. Maybe you haven’t been keeping up with current events but we just got our arses kicked pal! Wait, no, that’s not right. Um… if you haven’t been keeping up with current events then you won’t know [...]
