  • Animal Kingdom

    Animal Kingdom – cheesy title, no? Conjures up images of pencilled lions, the wilderness and that Elton John number. Well, forget those cute cartoons, this is serious. Incredibly unsettling and unpredictable (except the end – I saw that coming), David Michôd has brought the world a fantastic drama that packs more punches than Mohammed Ali.


  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #2

    What do you mean, you never learnt the days of the week? You’d better start now with indisputably the most important of them all – Wednesday. Wednesdays stand for Norse god Odin, Rosie the Magic Roundabout on PlayDays and, most importantly of all, Orange Wednesdays! We know what we’ll be seeing this week; do you?



  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #1

    It’s Wednesday! Films exist! We’re all poor! You know someone on Orange? You know someone on Orange! We take some time out of our busy schedules (looking at Wyld Stallyns t-shirts on PriceDrop TV) to discuss what you should and shouldn’t see on this, this Wednesday, this holy night. Please do join in.

  • SHORTLIST: The Wrong Kind Of Snow

    “This year the snow’s going up…”
    Many critics say that the London Gangster movie is the last gasp of a dying genre, but Director Ray Burdis breathes new life into it with this sharp, thoughtful comedy/drama that will have you by turns laughing and crying as it takes us on a journey through a family using the spirit of Christmas for redemption while suffering the accidental effects of cocaine.


  • SHORTLIST: Twelve

    If you thought Se7en was scary and spine-chilling then wait until you see David Fincher’s new offering Twelve. Fincher revisits the thriller/horror genre in this film to great effect. The backdrop of a twinkly Christmas against the twisted acts of a serial killer will leave you feeling very unsettled indeed.




  • SHORTLIST: Jihad All The Way

    “Don’t shoot- he has mince pies!” A film entitled “Jihad All The Way” was always going to ruffle a few feathers, but writer and director Chris Morris (the man behind BrassEye and Four Lions) is no stranger to controversy! Did the film live up to the hype, or were the hundreds of PC protesters who braved the snow to wave soggy cardboard around worrying about nothing?
