DIG! the movie

Went to Dig! last night – awesome film. Funnier (nearly) than Spinal Tap, and waaaay more rock’n’roll than Some kind of Monster. It’s about the Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Revolution OS

If you’re a nerd who loves your software then Revolution OS is the doco for you. In fact, I’ve watched this film twice this week with three non-nerds and they also loved it as much as I did. It plots the rise of Linux and free/open source software. Lots of hyper-intelligent guys with beards, long…

It challenges a range of conventional notions such as the presence of an organised terrorist network like al-Qaeda and it sheds light on the neo-conservatism.

Coffee and Cigarettes

Just saw ‘Coffee and Cigarettes’. Super. It made me want to smoke dirty cigarettes though. Best scene: the one with RZA and GZA of course.

Sexy Beast

I’ve been lucky lately to see so many amazing films, and I’ve struck gold again with Sexy Beast. It’s a British Gangster film with a huge atmosphere. Highlights include: Ben Kingsley, the music, the story, the cinematography….

Gloria Swanson’s star

“I know your face. You’re Norma Desmond. You used to be in pictures. You used to be big.” “I am big. It’s the pictures that got small.”
