  • Revenge

    Revenge 2017

    Rewatched 29 Sep 2024

    A bare-bones rape-revenge tale tricked out with zip-zang-boom visuals and sounds. Even so, it's leaner and better than the director's bloated and unfocused second feature, The Substance (2024).

    Official Competition 2021

    Watched 28 Sep 2024

    A would-be scabrous look at creative rivalries, thespian vanities and directorial pretentiousness. Tepid, over-long and - stop me if you have heard this one - with absolutely no idea how to end itself. A problem it addresses by adding further (wholly unnecesary and unedifying) scenes to an already over-extended running time.

    Silver Linings Playbook 2012

    ★★ Watched 01 Apr 2013 11

    An absurdly over-praised, trite and manipulative love story featuring a manic depressive (Bradley Cooper) and a young grieving widow (Jennifer Lawrence). There are some cute scenes involving dancing.

    Like Paul Haggis's Crash before it, this is one of those films which, in years to come, will be cited as an embarrassing, over-hyped anomaly on the Oscar roll of honour. Jennifer Lawrence did not deserve her Best Actress gong, and the nominations for her, Cooper, Robert de Niro and Jacki Weaver…

  • Looper

    Looper 2012

    ★★★★ Watched 25 Sep 2012 1

    Superior, low-key, grown-up science fiction that prioritises ideas and emotion over futuristic set-dressing. Time travel plot is spoiler-bait. Good performances by Joseph Gordon Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt and the ever-wonderful Jeff Daniels. Writer/director Rian Johnson borrows from other sci-fi movies, but makes their ideas and images his own.
