Antichrist ( Blu-ray ) ( 2009 )
Its hard to know where to start with this. Is it a good film? well its early to tell for me. I certainly wouldn't say I enjoyed it, but felt that it was an experience watching it. Its definately shocking, and should not be watched by anyone easily offended - and believe me when I ...

Magnolia ( 1999 ) ( Blu-ray )
Again this is bordering on kitchen sink drama, and in many ways makes no sense as an HD film. But this I guess is really what separates good film making from pedestrian. This really is a great film - and massively underrated. All star cast - Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H Macy and ...

Moon ( 2009 )
People have been raving about this. It premiered at the Sundance apparently.

That's featurefilm money where I come from. Is this 'that' much ...

There are plenty of reasons not to see it. The story is mothballed, the actors are too close and irritating ...

Inglorius Basterds – Blu-ray
I never thought I'd say 'thank christ' for Brad Pit. This is the one saving grace from my weekend. Great film - well adapted to HD. In a word, brilliant.
The film is as you would expect from Taretino the usual mix of pulp and art house cinema. Weirdly almost all the film is in either ...

Half Nelson ( 2006 )
From Axiom films, taken me a while to watch this. Great to see films where people lead lives wholly outside of their control. Takes quite a while to get to where its going, and the tones are very, very brown. Apart from that a great film, both leads are really convincing and the supports are ...
