Thanks to Greg for the heads up, I watched Taxi to the Dark Side on BBC iPlayer last night. Powerful stuff. In fact, I found it horrifying at some points.
Torture is as old as history books. All the horrible things the Spanish Inquisition did to non-believers in the name of Religion are very well [...]

Last year, I nailed it. It was as if Oscar himself read my list before giving the prizes. This year, I’ll just have to try and see if there is still any magic left…
Best Motion Picture of the Year: There Will Be Blood is my choice. But Atonement too has a good chance. Like I [...]

Like the first one, I’m going to keep this short and straight to the point…
There Will Be Blood: The best film I have seen since Little Miss Sunshine! And surprisingly, the supporting actor, Paul Dano, is Dwayne from Little Miss Sunshine! Daniel Day-Lewis is at his best since Gangs of New York. The way he [...]

I’ve been avoiding this since November. I’ll try to keep it short and simple…
American Gangster: Denzel Washington’s best since his Training Day. Russell Crowe’s best since A Beautiful Mind. That should sum it up.
Things We Lost in the Fire: One of the best dramas I have seen in a very long time. I’d say Benicio [...]

Eastern Promises is not like your typical crime thriller. It’s powerful, classy, dark and violent. Vigo Mortensen is just as good as he was in A History of Violence and brilliantly portraits a complicated caring and loving mafia driver who later in the story turns out to be more than just a driver!
David Cronenberg, the [...]

One of the greatest composers of our time will get his Academy Honorary Award this Sunday. You may not have heard of him before, but his tunes are definitely in your head. The genius mind behind some of the most famous soundtracks of all time is no one but the 79 years old Ennio Morricone. [...]

Best Motion Picture of the Year: I would love to see Little Miss Sunshine takes the Oscar’s, but it’s going to be The Departed. All five nominees, Babel, The Departed, Letters from Iwo Jima, Little Miss Sunshine and The Queen, were great movies and deserve to be mentioned here on Finglish! Yeah!
Best Actor in [...]

You all must have seen the Godfather, the Shawshank Redemption and Schindler’s List by now. If you haven’t, don’t bother reading the rest of this post. I enjoy watching movies in general. From Film Noir to thrillers, comedies, romance, horror and even stupid Italian soft porn flicks, if I’m in the mood, I’d never [...]

Do you remember Sideways from two years ago? A comedy about ordinary people with no boring Hollywood cliché crap. Well, Little Miss Sunshine is just as good, if not better. It won’t make you laugh out loud. But it will make you smile and feel good. Its funny but dark jokes and situations will make [...]

Let me keep it simple. Jesus Camp scared the living shit out of me! For the first time in years, a film made me think “what the fuck would I do if this was all real?!” It was even more terrifying when I realised that it actually IS real. It has been happening throughout the [...]
