Lost in Adaptations..
Book to film adaptations! Almost always a problematic situation, but it can be done well none the less. Though more often than not it is not. Which tickle your fancies? For starters, the gangster stories... The Godfather : A trashy but enthralling novel and a fantastic trilogy. Some of the editing p...

So then, traditional (original) cheddar must be illegal in Australia because they use unpasteurised milk. What a joke. We are living in a society which seeks to protect us from ourselves as though we're mongoloids. Actually, I think they just overturned this, with cheeses at least, though probably ...

The Perfect Man
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0380623/ A thought provoking and heartfelt tale. The quintessential documenting of the human condition. The sexual tension between Heather Locklear and Hillary Duff's boyfriend fuels a discourse of post-reflexive idiosyncratic dialectics that subversively, and to their cr...

Well I found it failed in being 'noir' stylized, though it tried - but then they'd put something slighly 'comic-like' in it, more in line with the rest of the movies / 60s series. And as for the plot - it fell on its face. Machinist could have been a little cleverer, yes, but man - just looking at h...

Re: Lord of War
I thought both more and less of this film than I'll properly address just yet.. This is basically Goodfellas crossed with Syriana, and is sadly, more like the former in any way that matters. The protaganist is an arms dealer played by Nicholas Cage, who is reprehensible, but still represented as the...

Anyone worth a fist full of arseholes is contrary enough to know that any time someone tries the ever-tiring motif of 're-appropriation is a legitimate art form' can suck shit as the resulting piece piece isn't anything more than mindless cinema / art / music / poetry / ghey. Even my much bandied &q...
