Ten Inch Hero (2007)

Desperate to see

[10/10 · 7 May 2007]

I'm in the UK so haven't been lucky enough to see this film at any of it's film festival showings. There are rumours out there that we may not get to see it at all over here and I'm writing this as a plea to the powers that be to please make sure the film gets a distribution deal for the UK and Europe and at the very least a DVD release.

I know I'm one of many fans of the actors (and not just Jensen Ackles) who are keen to see it and are heartened by the reviews already posted about how amazing this film is, so please, I'm begging here, on bended knee (which is difficult to do whilst typing I promise you), make sure that the rest of the world gets to see this fantastic-sounding film!

The Plight of Clownana (2004)

Amazing

[10/10 · 4 April 2007]

This is a genius piece of short-film-making. Narrated by the writer and director of this film, Chris Dowling's voice is the only one we hear, the two 'leads' never saying a word but conveying all their emotions via the medium of dance.

On the surface the idea of a film about a man dressed as a clown/banana is a bit odd...but when you see what's been done with it, how an apparently absurd film can reveal to us so much about the way we deal with problems in our lives, with change and bigotry, it makes us (well me anyway) stop and think, and it's a cracking piece of entertainment too.
