A Timely Blogathon: Interesting Ball (2014)
A red ball bounces past a café and a couple folks’ houses and then goes to the beach. That is possibly the most innocuous synopsis of one of the weirdest and most emotionally stirring films that I’ve seen in recent times. Interesting Ball (2014, dir. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, also known as ‘DANIELS’), is […]

The Eyes of My Mother (2016): Quick-shot review!
When my good friend (and director of Winter At Westbeth) suggested to my partner and I that we come along with him and his lovely partner to see The Eyes of My Mother (2016, dir. Nicolas Pesce) whilst we were at the Sydney Film Festival last weekend, I accepted the offer immediately without reading anything […]
Blindspot 2016: Je T’aime, Je T’aime (1968)

Its synopsis is as follows: Recovering from an attempted suicide, a man is selected to participate in a time travel experiment that has only […]
Two Short Films: Ticky Tacky (2014); The Bumblebees (2014).
It’s been a while since I’ve watched some short films, but today/tonight I have two short films of particular interest. First, we have Ticky Tacky (2014), starring Oscar Isaacs as a crazy and powerful maniac, and second, The Bumblebees (2014), a stylistic girl gang tale. Both films are available to watch online, so I’ve linked […]
Buried (2010): Quick-shot review!
One of the more claustrophobic films I’ve seen in recent times, Buried (2010, dir. Rodrigo Cortés) will make you feel like you’re trapped in a very small and confined space, not unlike its protagonist. For once, I’m glad that I actually didn’t see something at the cinema, because I expect this would have been sensory […]
Blindspot 2016: Cat People (1942)
Hailed as one of the more iconic early horror films, Cat People (1942, dir. Jacques Toumeur) is a story of mythology, paranoia, and repressed sexuality, starring Simone Simon, Kent Smith, and Jane Randolph. Its synopsis is as follows: When naval construction designer Oliver Reed (Kent Smith) sees Serbian born beauty Irena Dubrovna (Simone Simon) at […]
