It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted a Search & Rescue post, where I respond to some strangely specific search queries in order to help the good people of the internet in their quest for knowledge. This time around I got a lot of queries about sex scenes in Game of Thrones, and a […]
Holy moly did I find a lot of excellent things to cast my eyes upon this month. As per usual it was a pretty quiet month for me due to work being nuts (which is my usual excuse). I’ve been averaging about 10-12 posts per month lately, which I suppose isn’t too bad, but it’s […]
One of my very favourite blogging events of the year has returned! The one and only Shitfest (Summer 2015 edition), masterminded by brainchild Eric of Isaacs Picture Conclusions, is all about celebrating and ripping shreds off bad films, and I love it. Here’s what I wrote about a (somewhat) humble film named The Starving Games. […]
Generally known for its parallels with Scientology, Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master (2012) is a fine film. A story of a wandering and tempestuous man searching for a purpose, The Master follows Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) as he is pulled in by the charm and charisma of the leader of a special group entitled The […]
Have you ever chosen to watch a film solely based on an image that you’ve seen floating around the internet that originated from said film? This was my experience with The Quiet Earth (1985, dir. Geoff Murphy), and I was very pleasantly surprised. I had seen the image from the final scene of the film […]
A horror film that loves pandering to cliches of the genre, Preservation (2014, dir. Christopher Denham) is a tense watch but is ultimately a bit of a mess. Its synopsis is as follows: An anesthesiologist must awaken her animal instincts when she, her husband, and her brother-in-law become the quarry of unseen hunters who want […]
Probably one of the most joyful and heartwarming films I’ve seen recently, We Are The Best! (2013, dir. Lukas Moodysson) is based on a graphic novel by Coco Moodysson, and is set in early 1980s Stockholm, Sweden. It tells the story of three girls – Bobo, Klara, and Hedvig – who decide to start a […]
A fairly groundbreaking independent drama with a straightforward story yet complex premise, Boy Meets Girl (2014, dir. Eric Schaeffer) is one of very few films with a transgender protagonist who is played by an actual trans woman. The film tells the story of Ricky (Michelle Hendley), a barista-slash-seamstress who operates a popular Youtube channel, with […]
It’s just about that time of year when I start thinking about taking a holiday pretty much constantly. Just in time for the Dream Vacation Blogthon, masterminded by Katy of Girl Meets Cinema! The rules are: If you could travel to any place in the film universe with any of your favorite characters or love-to-hate […]
Probably one of my more anticipated films of 2015, Jurassic World (2015, dir. Colin Trevorrow) is the fourth in a series of dinosaur adventures that began with Jurassic Park, directed by Steven Spielberg back in 1993. The plot is as follows: 22 years after the original Jurassic Park failed, the new park (also known as […]
