56th BFI London Film Festival: Tall as the Baobab Tree Review
After seeing some films that focus on Africa and its affairs – War/Dance, Return to Africa’s Witch Children and The Great African Scandal, I was longing to watch a film that wasn’t a documentary and one that would address a different issue than child soldiers or corruption. I was very excited when I got a…
The Bourne Legacy Review
The Bourne Legacy has not got much in common with Jason Bourne’s adventures. Tony Gilroy introduces a new character to us: Aaron Cross. Gilroy, who wrote the script to Bourne Trilogy, decided to take on the challenge of directing the film himself. Another super agent, Cross (great Jeremy Renner: The Avengers, The Hurt Locker)…
Collaborators Review
Collaborators, written by John Hodge (Screenwriter of Trainspotting and The Beach), is an interesting look into Stalin’s Russia through the eyes of Mikhail Bulgakov, one of Russia’s most controversial authors. Bulgakov is portrayed by Alex Jennings (The Queen) whilst Simon Russell Beale (The Deep Blue Sea) tackles the role of Stalin. The production centre’s around a…
Avengers Assemble Review
Avengers Assemble, based on Marvel comic book, is the latest Joss Whedon’s film. And what a spectacular production it is! Safety on Earth is threatened by a vicious Norse God Loki (Tom Hiddleston : The Deep Blue Sea, Henry V, Wallander) who steals the Tesseract, an energy source of unknown potential, and uses it…
Mad Dogs Season Two Review
Mad Dogs, created and written by Cris Cole , tells the story of four friends (Woody, Baxter, Rick and Quinn) and the trouble they face when a visit to an old friend forces them into a world of corruption, drugs and murder. The first season introduced the viewer to the main characters played by Max Beesley (Woody),…
Chasing Cotards review
‘Chasing Cotards’ is a visually stunning work of art. The short film, directed by Edward L. Dark, lasts only 13 minutes and has no dialogue to speak of. And yet it is a powerful piece telling the story of a man, Andrew Scott (Sherlock, Sea Wall), who struggles with the recent death of his…
55th BFI London Film Festival: A Dangerous Method Review
Freud and Jung undoubtedly have gone down in history for their work on psychoanalysis. Their ideas and biographies have kindled the imagination of not only the researchers from different disciplines, but also ordinary people. This is evident through David Cornenberg’s (The Fly, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises) new film ‘A Dangerous Method’. The Swiss…
55th BFI London Film Festival: The Artist review
When I first discovered that a new silent film was being made I knew instantly that I would adore it. Having grown up watching silent cinema, namely the works of Charlie Chaplin, I had become accustomed to the soundtrack replacing an actor’s voice. This is not the case for everybody though, so of course Michel…
55th BFI London Film Festival: Carnage Review
The God of Carnage is the only God which has ruled indivisibly since the beginning of time. Power equals strength. The law of the strongest is always valid, but the powerful is always right. Due to huge tensions, many nervous cords are being touched, hoarse throats and piles of pulled out hair “the end…
