Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real: Turn Off The News Build A Garden

Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real Turn Off The News Build A Garden Fantasy It’s getting hard to know what Lukas Nelson’s best day-job is – and what his best moonlighting side-gig is too for that matter: Son of Willie Nelson, bandleader for Neil Young, “Authenticity Consultant” to Bradley Cooper (leading to soundtrack contributions […]

Poem: Film Review – ‘A Star Is Born’

I watched that new version of A Star Is  Born – it features Bradley Cooper as a nose fetishist and Lady Gaga as a nose.  He was the bad side of Kris Kristofferson, none of the wisdom or insight in the lyrics, none of the heft or deft or breadth – fucking plod-happy nothing-songs that apparently  get a crowd.  (He fingers the nose to an Allman Brothers song. And 12 first cousins […]

American Sniper: Film

American Sniper Director: Clint Eastwood Village Roadshow Pictures Funny what a bit of distance will do for you – I read and heard about American Sniper, the controversies, its jingoistic story, the buried truth, the not-quite-right adaptation of a book that could only have ever been a subjective “hero” story anyway. I saw the film […]

American Hustle: DVD

American Hustle Director: David O. Russell Columbia Pictures Perhaps the greatest trick this film plays is that it has conned its audience either way, polarising to create gushing rave reviews and awards on the one hand and strange – almost nonsensical scorn on the other. People seem to either loathe or love this movie and […]

Movies of My Life # 4: The Place Beyond The Pines

You ever have that feeling – that thing – where you’re pretty convinced you’re going to like a film way before you see it. And then you watch it. And you were right. So right. The film surpasses – even – your expectation. But it was just right for you and you had that sussed. […]

The Place Beyond The Pines: DVD

The Place Beyond The Pines Director: Derek Cianfrance Hunting Lane Films/Pines Productions/Silverwood Films Just as it was with Blue Valentine, the previous film from director Derek Cianfrance, The Place Beyond The Pines is quick to tell you it is going to be epic, intense, possibly – at times, anyway – uncomfortable. There’s smoulder, there’s tension, […]
