andrea arnold's fish tank: initial thoughts

infinite thØught (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009

[Contains spoilers, probably. I'm never sure what counts and what doesn't.] Finally got round to seeing Fish Tank , which is a brilliant piece of work: as unsentimental as it is moving, with a tweaked realism that makes Mike Leigh look like he has all the observational capacity of an autistic Martian. Fish Tank is all the things Owen says it is and more: Arnold's portrayal of the Essex housing estate...

Three Blind Mice: Buddies' shore leave charts dangerous ground

atHome Top Story (Free subscription) | 10/30/2009

While this Australian movie does include the sight of snappily dressed sailors spinning around lampposts like Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in On the Town , Three Blind Mice takes a very different approach to the oft-told tale of sailors living it up while on shore leave.

Podthoughts by Colin Marshall: "The Criterioncast"

The Sound of Young America (Free subscription) | 10/26/2009

Talk about a podcast custom-made to win over your Podthinker. First — and most importantly — it's a podcast. That's step one. Second, it's about film, and it's been clearly, laboriously, repeatedly documented here how much your Podthinker loves himself a fine film. Third, it focuses specifically on films released for home viewing by The Criterion Collection , the company that not only...

Fine new Little Voice in a big role

The Rise and Fall of Little Voice is amusing, affecting and decidedly old-fashioned.

The Fallen blog (Free subscription) | 10/18/2009

Fabulous Fall(en) event at Litfest in Lancaster last night. Bookmunch/Perverted By Language(fiction inspired by The Fall) editor Peter Wild did the introductions, then author Michel Faber read his entertaining and darkly comic Deer Park tale, which contained various Fall tunes, a "loathsome" woman and a lot of dead deer. I read two excerpts from The Fallen - Nick Dewey and Ruth Daniel's respective...

Phil Cornwell Interview: EPL Talk Podcast

EPL Talk (Free subscription) | 10/13/2009

Last week, I posted a tweet that if I was reborn, I would become a Tottenham Hotspur supporter simply because of The Spurs Show podcast. And I meant it. Most of the readers here know me as a Swansea City supporter, but there’s something completely endearing, refreshing, honest and depressing about being a regular listener [...]

Happy-go-lucky review

Author Intrusion (Free subscription) | 10/12/2009

Ever since I saw the poster image for the movie Happy-go-lucky, I have wanted to see it. There is something immediately inviting about the picture of Sally Hawkins playing the part of the protagonist Poppy. The open smile. The open gesture. The plastic bead necklace. Last week I finally had the chance to borrow the DVD and am pleased to be able to say that the film delivered exactly what the poster...

Fantastic Fest Review: Down Terrace

Cinematical (Free subscription) | 10/06/2009

If "The Sopranos" had been cooked up by Mike Leigh instead of David Chase, the result might resemble Down Terrace , an unassuming little dramedy that barely seems to mesh with the genre criteria of most other Fantastic Fest programming and yet managed to take home a handful of awards, and rightfully so. Karl (Robin Hill) has followed in his father's footsteps, to the extent that they've...
