Latest Pieces:

There Will Be Blood

Daniel Day-Lewis works rarely these days, but when he does it's always an event to remember.  His portrayal of a misanthropic oilman in this excellent drama is a tour de force and almost certainly an Oscar winner.  DVD Times Review

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Best of 2007

A middle of the road year all around.  My selections are included in the following:

Dennis Potter at LWT Volume 2

A commendable collection of three early ITV plays from Potter - Shaggy Dog, Moonlight on the Highway and Lay Down Your Arms.  All very interesting for the ways they prefigure his later more famous works.  DVD Times Review

Elizabeth: The Golden Age

The second installment in Shekhar Kapur's life of the Queen of Queens is showier and more crowd-pleasing than the first, but it still remains high quality and visually rapturous drama, with Cate Blanchett as good as ever.  DVD Times Review

Eastern Promises

Viggo Mortensen and David Cronenberg team up once again in this edgy, off-beat crime drama, featuring the Russian Mafia in London and a naked fight scene that shows this now veteran director can still astonish us with his genius.  DVD Times Review
