The Savages
- 17 Jan 2008
It's a funny thing, the movies bring us psychopathic killers on a near-weekly basis, but common or garden dementia rarely gets a look in. Not that I'm agitating for it. Two movies on senility this year are plenty to be getting on with. It says something that both of them are written and directed by women. If Sarah Polley's Away from Her trod delicately (even ga-ga, Julie Christie seemed beatific), Tamara Jenkins' The Savages has the guts to start at the fuzzy end of the lollipop: Lenny (Philip Read more

Fantastic Mr Foxx
- 24 Nov 2009
Is there anything Jamie Foxx can’t do? If he hasn’t directed yet, you can bet it’s only a matter of time because it seems everything he’s ever put his mind to, he’s been wildly successful. To state the obvious: he’s an Oscar winner (best actor, for Ray). He’s notched up number one albums and singles. And he first came to public attention as a stand-up comedian – a career that led him to the hit TV series In Living Color, alongside the Wayans... Read more
The Best and Worst of 2008
- 16 Dec 2008
2008: The Best and the Worst It’s been a rocky old year, no two ways about it, and the quality of the movies has been every bit as up and down as the stock market. Just look at the year’s two Coen Brothers’ movies to see what I mean: on the one hand, the superb thriller No Country for Old Men, arguably their best movie for a decade… And on the other, Burn After Reading, a chilly, thrown-together farce that’s drastically short on laughs. Lest we forget, the year... Read more
Smoke in your eyes?: Stoner films
- 26 Aug 2008
There's something in the air. The whiff of change? Or maybe just rank hypocrisy. In a recent study by the US National Institute of Drug Abuse, 42 percent of Americans said they had used marijuana, and 16 percent had tried cocaine - a statistic that would include both President Bush and Barack Obama. (Though John McCain has no record of drug abuse, his wife Cindy has confessed to stealing Percocet and Vicodin from her own medical charity to feed her addiction.) All this is in the past - no...
