There are times when it’s right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times… Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a bitter, brilliant, genius who knew Elvis, tripped with the Stones and fatally overdosed on morphine and tequila in 1973. And from his dying came a story. A story from deep within folklore; a story of friendship, honour and adventure; a story so […]

I guess it was a random movie to fill the ether for the TV channel I was watching, but I’m so happy they introduced me to this. It’s a hilarious…

Remember the good old days when anyone with a camera and a few thousand bucks could schlep up to Bronson canyon and quickly make a cheap sci-fi/horror B-movie? Well, they’re back! The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is an affectionate, meticulous re-creation of those notoriously cheesy clunkers, as a gaggle of beloved stereotypes pursue “that rarest of radioactive elements – atmospherium.”

Wanna see an original movie and relax? Then check this out. A group of cool people thought of idea to make a parody of an old movies, and they got…

Matko is a small time hustler, living by the Danube with his 17-year-old son Zare. After a failed business deal he owes money to the much more successful gangster Dadan. Dadan has a sister, Afrodita, that he desperately wants to see get married so they strike a deal: Zare is to marry her.

This one has all the trademarks and is the most polished movie of Kusturica, from what I’ve seen. Now, many wouldn’t agree on “polished”, and it’s understandable. This is an…

A naive business graduate is installed as president of a manufacturing company as part of a stock scam.

A New York stockbroker refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, corporate banking world and mob infiltration. Based on Jordan Belfort’s autobiography.

Despite all the efforts from the actors, it’s not amongst the best of Scorsese, but it’s still worth the watch for its careful execution and wittiness.

A start of Polanski’s period of making movies in a small setting. There’s a proper character study with great acting, so the movie is a fun to watch. It’s like…

A fun British road movie with aliens, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
