I first heard about Hard Candy years ago, so when I say I’ve been meaning to see it forever it’s almost not hyperbole. Feels good to cross a film (book, album) off ‘The List’, the ominous, ever-growing ‘List‘. Still, one of the worst things about relegating anything to ‘The List’ is that expectations are high.  […]

I like to think my taste in music is far reaching and not confined to one genre or time period (for many, eclectic is the fashionable word). What follows is a selection of the sounds that have been rattling around my head this past week or so. I hope (and it is a modest one) is that you […]

Richard Linklater is a director and screen-writer that is viable to court the title auteur, much in the same way as Tim Burton, Chris Nolan or Ken Loach. One could also add to that list John Michael McDonagh (Calvary) and Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel). Like them all, Linklater’s films are recognizable for their  thematic concerns and stylistic conceits. Also […]

Before considering the film in question I must explain the title.  The Wind Rises is being billed as the last film to be made by the famed director Hayao Miyazaki.  Sources close to the great man have suggested that this may not be the case (Miyazaki has made such claims before), but the tag line […]
