The Executioner's Gong: October 2009
http://executionersgong.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Awards season predictions, reviews, good bets - walking through the year to determine the true unpoliticised best. Wednesday, 28 October 2009. Http:/ www.apple.com/trailers/wb/invictus/. Latest screening: A Serious Man. Ah, God bless the Coens. After No Country For Old Men and Burn After Reading they continue their stunning role in such style it is easy to imagine that The Ladykillers was merely a bad dream! Stuhlbarg is so convincing in the lead, and seems so suited to the Coens world (much like Billy B...

The Executioner's Gong: November 2009

Awards season predictions, reviews, good bets - walking through the year to determine the true unpoliticised best. Friday, 27 November 2009. Latest screening: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs.

Labels: Best Animated Feature. Latest screening: Glorious 39. A banner year indeed for our little Isle. They seem to be behind every...

The Executioner's Gong: Latest screening: Winter's Bone
http://executionersgong.blogspot.com/2010/09/latest-review-winters-bone.html
Awards season predictions, reviews, good bets - walking through the year to determine the true unpoliticised best. Wednesday, 22 September 2010. Latest screening: Winter's Bone. Winter’s Bone is bleak. There’s no denying that fact. It deals with a young woman in a tough situation in a brutal environment surrounded by unlikeable characters. It is therefore all the more impressive that this is such an engaging and stunning piece of cinema. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The executioner is in! Latest s...

Awards season predictions, reviews, good bets - walking through the year to determine the true unpoliticised best. Wednesday, 7 April 2010. Hilarious and sad and true! Brilliant breakdown of a Nicholas Sparks' movie. Click on the above image to see it bigger (and more readable)! This piece from Cracked.com is pure gold. Personally i actually kind of liked The Notebook but that's more to do with a love of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling than anything else and was the first 'Sparks' movie i'd seen. How Do ...

The Executioner's Gong: September 2009
http://executionersgong.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Awards season predictions, reviews, good bets - walking through the year to determine the true unpoliticised best. Friday, 4 September 2009. 2 New Trailers: Men Who. and Inception. Men Who Stare At Goats - okay the combination of George Clooney and Jeff Bridges in a daft-as-brushes comedy is enough to get me into a theatre regardless but this does look damn funny, and Kevin Spacey gets the best trailer moment with the wedding scenes.

The Executioner's Gong: July 2009
http://executionersgong.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Awards season predictions, reviews, good bets - walking through the year to determine the true unpoliticised best. Friday, 31 July 2009. Catch-up mini review: The Soloist. You kind of know what you're going to get from this film going in and you're right. Here is one of those films that seems to have been put together in the sole design of getting its lead an Oscar nomination and as such, and as usual, it fails - falling flat on its face. At least in cinemas? As so often (think Benicio Del Toro in Things...

The Executioner's Gong: Trailers: Hereafter & The Fighter
http://executionersgong.blogspot.com/2010/09/trailers-hereafter-fighter.html
Awards season predictions, reviews, good bets - walking through the year to determine the true unpoliticised best. Wednesday, 22 September 2010. Trailers: Hereafter and The Fighter. Alongside Invictus' supporting role. This looks to be an Eastwood film with a rare large scale and effects work. He has done large scale with effects before (most recently in the brilliant Letters From Iwo Jima and it's less successful companion picture Flags Of Our Fathers). Then we have The Fighter. What to make of this?
