Golden Globe 2011: and the winner is Sir Gervais!

The Globe's like 90% of Hollywood are CGI, a farce, a general waste of time and opportunity for naff headed celebrity chasing twats to argue about cinematic merits of a bunch of overpriced, overhyped films which are essentially just that films and not great works of art.

This year Ricky G! returned to form to the original David Brent pucknosed faced asshole we've all come to know and love.

Tearing apart Hollywood's A-list, Gervais did what 99% of teh world's population has been dying to do, tell Hollywood to sit on it and rotate.

It wasn't some great political victory, i mean come on this wasn't Darfur or Apartheid but it was something which brought a tear to my eye for it reminded me that in the words of Jarvis Cocker "Cunts are still running the world" and thankfully we've got dickheads like Gervais to neutralise some of these C***'s.

Good on you Fatty!

TRON: Daft Punk's new album/film!

Title: Tron: Legacy
Directed by: Josh Kosinski
Written by: Edward Kitsis; Adam Horowitz
Starring: Jeff Bridges; Garrett Hedlund; Olivia Wilde; Bruce Boxleitner

TRON watches and reads like a 13 year old aspirant Hackers wet dream, which isn’t a bad thing, but not a great thing either. The film carries on where the original ended, super programmer extraordinaire Kevin Flynn disappeared 20 years ago and in his absence his son Sam Flynn has grown into a a mischievous billionaire adult who plays massive pranks on the world’s largest computer company ENCOM. In search of his missing father, Sam stumbles upon a page from his old man which sees him transported into the lumo cyber world of TRON where he must battle a series of programs and Clu in search of his father. It’s filled with some pretty average CGI and 3D effects to be honest and highlights how this new trend is becoming somewhat of a 1-trick pony effect. Which doesn’t add much to films outside of the odd “Yoh…”. The entire film is scored by French mega electric duo “Daft Punk” which makes the film a wee bit more digestible, but doesn’t really do much but leave you wondering why the hell you’re watching the world’s longest music video.

It won’t cause an epileptic fit and it won’t cure erectile dysfunction, but it is something to stare at and bob your head to.

I give it 6 Hoers

Hereafter

Title: Hereafter
Directed by: Clint Eastwood
Written by: Peter Morgan
Starring: Matt Damon, Cécile De France, Frankie McLaren, Steve Schirripa

Clint Eastwood’s latest offering “Hereafter” is an applaudable effort but doesn’t strike as one of his best and sees the Hollywood’s hardest men take a dip in form. Focusing on death and the afterlife the film follows three characters and their search for what happens to us after we die. It’s unlike most Eastwood’s other films as he uses the multinarrative technique to construct the film, which at times is as effective as one would like it to be and at times seems a bit flat. The film follows George Lonegan a mercurial psychic haunted by his gift, Marie a French news reporter who dies for a few moments and then comes back to life and James who loses his twin brother to a hit and run. The three trudge through their existence in loneliness, anxiety and insecurity in their search for a definition of the afterlife. It’s filled with some out of this world directing especially the scene wherein Damon’s Lonegan character and Melanie – plated by Bryce Dallas Howard - discuss themselves whilst blindfolded and conducting a tasting test. Outside of that it fails to succeed where many other multinarrative films succeed it essentially lack the bang of Innaratu Gonzalez’s “Babel” or “Amorres Perros” and Thomas Anderson’s “Magnolia” but does show glimmers of Eastwood’s mastery.

All in all its pleasing but not spectacular, and makes perfect sense as to why Eastwood chose the subject matter considering he’s about 80 and knocking on Death’s door. Ja Eastwood’s so effing hard he knocks on death door not the other way around.

I give it 6 Hoers.

2011 Releases: Green Hornet

Indie kids love Michel Gondry like Fat chicks love asthma pumps! And rightly so, he’s just so effing post-modern and he oozes everything we’d love to believe is cool and artistic, right?
Well Gondry makes the comeback of the millennia with “The Green Hornet” the multimillion dollar block buster is well out of Gondry’s usual budgetry range. But it does have some familiar unfamiliar faces, which include Seth Rogen ( a thin Seth Rogen) Cameron Diaz and Jay Chou. It looks a lot like a menu in a Morrocan restaurant helluva interesting and colourful, and with Gondry steering this hip, I’ve got a sneaky feeling it promises just that!

Trolley Races from the future

Their very few things as important as Trolley Races, seriously, not religious holidays, not exams, not even the munchies and we love the munchies.
Its epic, bizarre, so much fun, bordering on homo-erotic and one hell of a UCT tradition, which brings a tear to many a graduate's eye.

Check it out hope it does the same for you.

Black Swan!

Darren Aronofsky's back with a new film, which i hope is as good as the last flick he gave birth to, the epic "Wrestler".
It's a psychological thriller set in the New York City Ballet revolving around the production "Swan Lake". the film sees Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman square off against each other as Ballerina's in this production under the creepy watchful eye of the dextrous Vincent Cassel. The premise of the film is whether or not Portman's character can embody the good and evil of the Swan Queen in the "Swan Lake" production. This may be the bread but not the filling of the sandwich, which is intrigue, seduction, violence and some pretty intense hallucinations.

It recieved a standing ovation at its opening at the Venice Film Festival and promises to be one of the more "Stuck up it's own arse" releases of the year which we just love!

Check it out at a theatre near you!

You'll meet a tall dark stranger (who wont mug you)

Title: You’ll meet a tall dark stranger
Directed by: Woody Allen
Written by: Woody Allen
Starring: Josh Brolin, Antonio Banderas, Naomi Watts and Anthony Hopkins

Woody Allen of old is back with his latest offering in “You’ll meet a tall dark stranger”. The film is essentially about the folly and short-sightedness of people in 21st century London and how instant gratification always trumps sense and rationality. The film follows 6 people as they toddle through their existence with temptation knocking on their door in the form of sexual and romantic bliss. It features a star-studded cast who give fantastic performances and insight into arrested development with a sincerity and tenderness which make their performances wholly believable and covertly humorous. It’s a comedy geared at an older generation, not because its jokes stink of the 20th century but rather because the characters themselves embark on foolish escapades which seem wholly feasible until actually embarked upon. These include, adultery, researching the occult, intellectual theft, midlife crisis and living beyond your means. A mention must be made of Gemma Jones, whose balls to the walls hilarious as Helena Shebritch a recently divorced older women who seeks advice from a fortune teller and takes everything she says as fact.

It’s Allen at his best sprinkled with a self-reflective humour only someone as narcisstic as fans would enjoy.
