Films of the Week #10

Just nigh of a year since I last published a Films of the Week on this site, it could be said that this tenth instalment follows on nicely from the previous two, as it spotlights two films I’ve watched in the past, and two films that - just like Mulholland Dr. and 2001: A Space …

Films of the Week #9

In this edition of Films of the Week, the spotlight is once again on just one film, and it’s another that I was somewhat influenced into watching after reading Sight and Sound magazine’s 2022 poll of the 100 greatest films of all time. As was also the case last week, it’s a film I’ve watched …

Films of the Week #8

Films of The Week returns after a seven month hiatus and this time around I want to spotlight just one film I've watched over the last seven days. In that time I've also watched Wells' striking debut feature, Aftersun, and I'll surely be talking about it in a special films of 2022 wrap-up blog later …

Films of the Week #7

Films of the Week goes thematic once again, and this time the spotlight is on two airborne films that simply amazed me in how good they are. I already can't wait to watch them again. 'Starship Troopers' (1997) - Dir. Paul Verhoeven After watching the much maligned Showgirls and struggling to understand why it's been …

Films of the Week #6

This past week I took the opportunity to watch two films from two directors of whom I'd only previously seen one film. One who is very highly regarded and one whose films are quite polarising, my experiences - as well as my reactions to - watching The Seventh Seal and The Driller Killer in 2021 …

Films of the Week #5

Films of the Week goes thematic as the spotlight falls on the genre that got me fully invested into this cinematic journey in the first place, and a film that is (much deservedly) finding itself highly acclaimed. And it just so happens both take us across the universes, let's see where they take us! 'Doctor …

Films of the Week #4

In this week's blog post the spotlight is on two films I've been interested in watching for a little while now from two of the most high profiled directors in the history of cinema, and I love how these two films couldn't be anymore different in presentation. 'High and Low' (1963) - Dir. Akira Kurosawa …

Films of the Week #3

While I've been trying to watch films I've missed out on over the years, it hasn't escaped me that I need to keep up with those coming out now. With that being the case I've made it a pastime to get myself to the pictures more frequently so I can catch those that have caught …

Films of the Week #2

As I continue my 'mission' to watch all of those notable and appealing films I've never seen, I decided this past week to focus on watching a couple of films that have been on my watchlist for a long, long time. 'Seven Psychopaths' (2012) - Dir. Martin McDonagh I can vividly recall my excitement for …

Films of the Week #1

When I'm not listening to and writing about the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, I'm usually spending my time watching films. What started a few years back as a 'mission' to watch those that I really should have seen when I was younger (E.T., Jumanji etc.) has now become an avid …
