Playing With Fire — ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES

Directors think John Cena is a bargain The Rock, but what they’re really getting is an overpriced tree stump. He has the personality of dry, slightly burnt toast. It’s not entirely Cena’s fault. Director Andy Fickman clearly has no vision and no funny bone. He’s not sure whether he’s making a satire or a slapstick […]… Continue reading Playing With Fire — ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES

The Young Victoria — ASSHOLES WATCHING MOVIES

It’s very easy to forget that the monarchy is made up with real, living, breathing people. Extremely privileged people of course, who are often very out of touch with the real world and therefore the people they are meant to represent as well. But people nonetheless.

[2016] Hell or High Water — The Academy Nominees Project

The Western ceased as an artform in early 1993, when Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven closed the chapter on a much-loved and rarely-maligned genre. Westerns were wholly post Manifest United States, though their premise has been recycled through Shakespeare and Kurosawa, setting the human experience against a backdrop of nothhingness – as the desert has sand and […]… Continue reading [2016] Hell or High Water — The Academy Nominees Project

[2014] Whiplash — The Academy Nominees Project

Power can be a frightening subject, but it can also be used to explain away the end of things. Partnerships, whether thrust upon or voluntary, are continuous, minor exchanges of power throughout. When a sovereign directs his subjects to do the bidding of the Crown, the King is exploiting his uninundated power upon ultimately powerless […]… Continue reading [2014] Whiplash — The Academy Nominees Project
