The Brown Note Movie Review

Madame Web (2024) Movie Review

Well it's back-to-back BIG FAT ZEROS out of ten for the last two MCU films. It's even worse than The Marvels but sadly never so bad it's good, it's far too boring to ever be entertaining. But it is interesting to watch the actors actually become totally disinterested in even being there. No one cared at all about any aspect of this film, which supplants its predecessor as the worst post Iron Man comic book super hero film yet

The Social Network (2010) Film Review

Having watched David Fincher's finest film (bar none) for the umpteenth time recently, my appreciation for it has only grown. The across the board class in direction, score, cinematography, casting, acting and writing and the fact there's not one wasted scene or moment that drags. It's also become far less about Mark Zuckerbeg and Facebook and far more about the terrifying years since.

The Zone Of Interest (2023) Film Review

A stellar review for Jonathan Glazer's latest art piece, a full decade after the equally impressive, Under the Skin, though this is his undoubted masterpiece - and a slightly better 2023 film than Oppenheimer. This hugely unusual and very disquieting take on the Holocaust, has arguably the best use of sound in cinema history.

The Oscars 2024 Round-Up

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Liam Gallagher John Squire - Liam Gallagher John Squire (2024) Album Review

The Britpop/Madchester legends come together for arguably the finest album in the history of Liam Gallagher and John Squire albums, warning contains frequent swearing and quotation of John Squires lyrics.

Can - Live in Paris 1973 (2024) Album Review

The most stunning of the recent four live album releases by Krautrock titans, Can, features two caveats not present on the previous releases. Actually featuring previously recorded songs, and major ones, and also vocals, by the recently deceased Damo Sazuki. It's immediately their most essential and thrilling live release and perfectly timed.

Land Of Bad (2024) Movie Review

This Rambo 2-esque actioner may have one of the worst titles in modern history, and very little story, but director William Eubank is proving to be so competent technically, fans of high tech, Delta Force shoot-outs in the jungle will have plenty salivate over.

A Tribute To Damo Suzuki (RIP) And Can

With the recent passing of legendary singer, Damo Suzuki (16 January 1950 – 9 February 2024), from Krautrock legends, Can, a walk through one of the finest runs in music, a discography I would keep over the peak album periods of The Beatles, Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd and possibly my favorite band in history.

Evil Under The Sun (1982) Film Review

Turning an Agatha Christie story in a broad, comedic, European farce, sounds fatal on paper. But with its acidic, modernist Noel Coward script, a cast from heaven to deliver it (Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, Peter Ustinov, James Mason, Jane Birkin...) all sound-tracked by Cole Porter, as a film, it maybe the finest Christie adaption of all.

The Bricklayer (2024) Movie Review

Hollywood's relentless imagination and originality never fails to amaze. After last weeks review of The Beekeeper, where an ex hot shot intelligence agent, enjoying anonymity in retirement as a humble beekeeper, is dragged back into action, now The Bricklayer, where an ex hot shot intelligence agent, enjoying anonymity in retirement as a humble bricklayer, is dragged back into action.
