I think it’s about time to talk about a documentary in the Politic-a-Thon and the first documentary I’ve chosen is one that hasn’t received nearly as much attention as it should get and is probably the film that has made me the most angry in recent years, simply through the subject of the film, Donald… Continue reading Politic-A-Thon: You’ve Been Trumped Review

Politic-A-Thon: The Great Dictator Review
So continuing the Politic-A-Thon, I think it’s time to cover a film focusing on the extremist politics of the 1930’s and 40’s and what better film to talk about than The Great Dictator. Yes, Chaplin’s extremely over-the-top satire of Nazism that even Chaplin admits wouldn’t have been made had he known about The Holocaust. It’s… Continue reading Politic-A-Thon: The Great Dictator Review
Politic-A-Thon: A Royal Affair Review
Thought I’d do something a little bit different in this part of the Politic-A-Thon and go with a film looking at the older political struggles in a country and to that end I’ve chosen A Royal Affair. Now on the surface, A Royal Affair looks like a stuffy costume drama but when you watch it,… Continue reading Politic-A-Thon: A Royal Affair Review
Politic-A-Thon: The Campaign Review
Continuing with the Politic-A-Thon, I think it’s time to talk about a political comedy and I think I’ve chosen right. There are a lot of comedic possibilities that can be created from a US Congressional Election and The Campaign makes good use of these different elements. From baby kissing to Communist bashing, all aspects of… Continue reading Politic-A-Thon: The Campaign Review
Politic-A-Thon: In The Loop Review
So to kick off my first blog-a-thon, I decided to do a film that I think deserves to be seen by much more people and is one of the best political films made, Armando Ianucci’s In The Loop. Now I feel that this is one of the funniest films ever made but not enough people… Continue reading Politic-A-Thon: In The Loop Review
Wrong Review – CineKatz Not-So-Secret-Santa in July Project
So as part of the Cinematic Katzenjammer’s Not-So-Secret-Santa project, I got assigned the film Wrong and boy is was hard to watch. There are 2 reasons why it was so hard, firstly, it was hard for me to actually find the film since it hasn’t been released in the UK yet, this is probably the… Continue reading Wrong Review – CineKatz Not-So-Secret-Santa in July Project
The World’s End Review
Ever since it was announced I’ve been highly anticipating The World’s End, hell at the start of the year I named it my most anticipated film over films like Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Kick-Ass 2, Pacific Rim and Elysium. Now it’s been released and I can say that my anticipation was worth… Continue reading The World’s End Review
Fruitvale Station Review
Last week, I went to Washington DC on holiday (had a great time by the way) and I decided to go and see a film that probably wouldn’t be released in the UK for a while. After hearing some good things about it I decided to go and see Fruitvale Station, then the George Zimmerman… Continue reading Fruitvale Station Review
Finally
Today, it has been announced by Robin Hardy that the original print of The Wicker Man, which many though to be lost and which StudioCanal has been trying to find for the past year, has now been found and is being restored for a UK cinema release followed by a DVD/BluRay release. Considering that The… Continue reading Finally
Pacific Rim Review
For the past few months I’ve really been looking forward to Pacific Rim. Guillermo Del Toro is one of the best directors currently working and seeing him just go all out in a robots v. monsters film just sounds amazing. Good to report then that Pacific Rim more than meets the extremely high expectations I… Continue reading Pacific Rim Review
