Get Mortified – Or How You Too Can Tell People You’re a Film Producer
The Armenian Bouncer Hey there Dear Listener – as you know we have a not few in number indie-filmmakers and wannabe filmmakers who listen to The Show – so I thought it’d be relevant to have a guest on to discuss new forms of funding for the micro/budget scene. Am concerned that indie-films could go [...]

Why Do People Want to Ban This Critic From Rotten Tomatoes?
Am not blogging on the site much these days as most of my time is occupied in producing the show – but I can’t stop myself from mentioning this absurd petition to ban critic Armond White from Rotten Tomatoes: Ban Armond White from Rotten Tomatoes! Armond is a friend of the show – he’s been [...]

81 Films of the Decade
In the year 2000 I was 25 and single, finishing up a Ph.D., stressed out of my tree, working with a small NGO on peace and non-violence issues, trying figure out what it was that I wanted to be when I grew up. Now as 2010 approaches, I’m a month away from being 35 and [...]

‘The Terminal Man’ – The Greatest 70′s Sci-Fi Thriller You’ve Never Seen
Like these frame-grabs from ‘The Shining’? Scary, huh, when Jack tries to break-in to the bathroom and kill Wendy. Oh wait a minute – these shots aren’t from The Shining – they’re from that near forgotten Mike Hodges classic 1974 sci-fi thriller ‘The Terminal Man’!
Rocky IV Is Some Sort of Pop Art Masterpiece
What a gloriously misunderstood film. Released in 1985, reviewers, then and now, judged it against a template taken from faux realistic cinema, (as in the original Rocky), rather than seeing it for what it is: A joyous, Warholian Pop Art treasure. Look at the image above, from the opening titles of the film, has there [...]
‘Taken’ aka "We used to outsource these things"
Taken / Featuring Liam Neeson / Directed by Pierre Morel / Produced By Luc Besson (warning, this review contains spoilers for ‘Taken’ and ‘Atanarjuat’) Look at the man above. He is alone and miserable. Look at him below. Two Chinese take-out cartons. You only see this in movies. This film does not waste time straining [...]
‘The People vs. George Lucas’ and Why I Find the ‘Star Wars’ Phenomena Profoundly Depressing
‘The People vs George Lucas’ trailer is now online, (see below); watching it left me profoundly depressed. Why? This dark mood was triggered by a comment someone makes at the start of the trailer: “George Lucas…unlocked a generation’s imagination.” The truth is George Lucas did precisely the opposite. He locked up a generations imagination. Watching [...]
