No Country For Old men [25/01/2008]
This is the territory where the Coen Brothers always get it so right, a piercing and dark movie from Cormac McCarthy’s novel, itself a pessimistic take on – or parody of – Elmore Leonard’s entire oeuvre. It’s just so good. Cloverfield [19/01/2008]
Last time we saw New York it was empty, save for Will Smith and a few zombies in I Am Legend. Now, thanks to producer JJ Abrams (Lost, Alias) it's fully populated once again, with a monster that uses the head of the Statue of Liberty as a bowling ball as it goes on a rampage through the city. American Gangster [18/01/2008]
It's not often you go to see a movie that stars two actors you would normally avoid, namely Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. American Gangster [18/01/2008]
Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) sits in church with his family, but essentially, as always, alone. Beyond the church his empire is going to hell. Dear hunting with Jesus [18/01/2008]
The people of America are not a homogenous lot and Joe Bageant takes us to his hometown, Winchester, Virginia to explain the customs and beliefs of that particular region. He look at the permanent white underclass of Winchester, of which he was once part, and tries to explain how it became that way and why it likes to support George W.
