  • I've been having a bit of a gloomy day today. Sometimes, the awfulness of the world just gets to me. How is it that society now regularly contains people for whom rage and extreme violence is the immediate response to any kind of criticism, any kind of check to anti-social behaviour, or a polite request not to smoke? It baffles me how anyone... more

  • How much is too much television watching? And how positive are the programs that network stations encourage our children to watch today? Nielsen Media Research had once reported that the average person watches 28 hours of television a week, while Business Week reported that half the country's more than 102 million households tune in. Most... more

  • There was a wealth of revisionist Vietnam war films in the wake of Oliver Stones oscar winning "Platoon". Occasionally a low budget B movie can surpass the big studio competition. "The Siege of Firebase Gloria" is a minimalist, straightforward film about US Marines defending an isolated outpost in Vietnam, during the Tet offensive. It is... more

  • On paper "Taken" seems to be a fairly formulaic thriller. But on further investigation it boasts a more interesting pedigree than the competition. Written by Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel (Of "District 13" fame), this action driven story set in Paris, has all the benefits that come from a European production. But the most intriguing... more

  • Fairplay and I moved from talking about nuclear obliteration of Birmingham to violence and fear. The gauntlet was thrown down with the comment "There's another bizarre conversation for you "What's your favourite type of violence?" But maybe you wouldn't want to know your work colleagues on that kind of level..." I was determined to somehow steer... more

  • Warning. I have included some screen captures from this film which depict scenes of a violent nature. They may also spoil the plot. Please be aware of this before reading and scrolling down the page. XoD. Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" was a biting satire on fascism and a milestone in the sub genre of "creature features". Then there was... more

  • Is M Night Shyamalan suffering from Orson Welles/Steven Seagal syndrome? IE he's made all his best work at the beginning of his career? Seriously, I was one of the few that actually liked his last film "The Lady in The water", but even I could see why the audience assumed that he had become a victim of his own style and technique. I mean casting... more
