TRASH CINEMA ESSENTIAL MOVIE
There are plenty of literal minded people who will want to pick on HBO’s television series Rome for deviating from the historical record. Nobles have sex with horse traders in front of servants; events that took years are telescoped into days or weeks; words […]

It serves me right. I couldn’t resist checking out a flick which trades on the urban legend, Donkey Punch. For those of you who don’t know, a Donkey Punch occurs when you’re giving it to a girl up the ass and, right when you’re […]

First of all, this isn’t the recent American movie with Ben Affleck and Russell Crowe. It’s the original BBC miniseries. I actually haven’t seen the American version, but often times, the British originals are better. A great example of this is Traffik. The Michael […]

TRASH CINEMA ESSENTIAL MOVIE
Within a minute of the opening credits of Mona Lisa, you know you’re watching a classic. The visuals, editing, and music form a seamless whole and you’re moved, without quite knowing why. With one single image, writer/director Neil Jordan lets you understand that the fireplug-shaped […]

You could be forgiven for thinking that Poppy (Sally Hawkins), the hero of writer/director Mike Leigh’s Happy-Go-Lucky, is a blithering idiot. She goes around with a goofy smile on her face, giving a cheery hello to everyone, chats up glum strangers even when it […]

You know, in some ways, I’m a pretty straightforward guy. If a story presents itself as taking place more or less in the real world, I kind of insist on some sense of reality. The filmmakers can’t present a more or less realistic misc en […]

The Last King of Scotland is another one of those movies about African people in which the major protagonist is once again, a white person.
I guess the folks at the major studios figure that without a white character for middle America to identify with, no […]

COOL MOVIES CRITICS DISRESPECT
Let’s see: funny hitmen - check; conversations about topics that have nothing to do with killing people - check; graphic violence - check; lots of cursing - check; must be a Tarantino knockoff. That’s the lazy and reductive reasoning many critics used to arrive at […]

TRASH CINEMA HIGHLY RECOMMENDED MOVIE
The title of this movie, together with the fact that it stars Jason Statham, gives the impression that it’s going to be the most generic caper movie possible.
Thankfully, that’s not the case.
First of all, the events of the film are […]
