King Arthur (2004) Dismissing much of Arthurian lore - no Camelot, no wizardry etc, Clive Owen headlines a strong cast in director Antoine Fuqua's audition of The Magnificent Seven. Huge battles ensue including a breathtaking set piece on a frozen lake in this hugely enjoyable take on one of Britain's greatest myths. |

Went to see Under The Shadow (2015, Babak Anvari) at the DCA in Dundee. Whilst more conventionally a "horror" film than A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, this is still well worth a look. Strict adherence to dogma makes us less human, something.... .....which led me to a rewatch of The VVitch (2015, Robert Eggers) At mates request, as he desired to bear witness to the film. Terrifying in a very subtle manner, I feel I may play the Amer card here to dig me out of a hole AHEM. Reevaluation of the year! White Settlers (2014, Simeon Halligan) Whilst it appealed to my very black sense of humor, this is more or less a UK version of any number of redneck films. Will await its arrival on THC shortly haha. City 40 (2016, Samira Goetschel) Harrowing documentary about one of Russia's "closed cities" ,filmed secretly in Ozersk. Watched this to get the taste of Twisted F*cking Sister!(Andrew Horn) out of my mind. Strictly for fans. Of which I'm not. There will be more, but now I have to go and cough up a lung, as i contracted Bronchial fever whilst on holiday...
