the psychopathology of everyday life - Adrian McKinty's blog: The Rich Can Teach Us Nothing
http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-rich-can-teach-us-nothing.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. The Rich Can Teach Us Nothing. A couple of billionaires using Africa as a backdrop for their Louis Vuitton ad. That was going to be end the of this blogpost but then I read this review of Mumford and Sons' latest album in the Guardian. I'm a novelist, blogger and book reviewer living in St Kilda, Australia. This is my blog; I'm operating with terrible internet service since I moved house so I won't be blogging as often as I'd like, and alas, can't take or moderate, comments at this...

the psychopathology of everyday life - Adrian McKinty's blog: '71 & Odd Man Out
http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/04/71-odd-man-out.html
Monday, April 6, 2015. 71 and Odd Man Out. The plot of '71 is very simple. A British squaddie gets sent to Belfast to keep the peace between Catholics and Protestants; after a riot he gets lost in a nightmarish gothic city of shifting allegiances and unknown streets, unsure of whom to trust and unable to grasp who is a friend and who is an enemy. The film is a modern take on the old Carol Reed classic Odd Man Out. By F L Green just published last month by Valancourt. Based on a great Eoin McNamee novel) ...

the psychopathology of everyday life - Adrian McKinty's blog: The Australian Magpie

Thursday, April 9, 2015. Above) which looks very similar. Its obviously a bigger bird more like a rook but since corvids began in Australasia and have more or less conquered the entire world since I thought that the Australian magpie was the original form and the European magpie a variation. This is not the case at all. The Australian magpie is in fact one of the cracticinae. As wikipedia explains:. The cracticines are highly intelligent and have extraordinarily beautiful songs of great subtlety. Further...

The great David Peoples' script for Unforgiven. Also has a certain left field quality to it. But really it was Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man. Also ploughs this Jarmuschian furrow. As do the Coens in their version of True Grit. I'm a novelist, blogger and book reviewer living in St Kilda, Australia. In The Morning I'll Be Gone. Sean Duffy #3...

http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/04/locke.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Locke is an exercise in film minimalism. Going one better than Vertigo, Drive and Bullitt Locke takes place entirely. As Locke attempt to manage 3 different crises over the phone while also having a Hamlet style conversation with his dead father who abandoned Locke when he was a boy.*. Locke was written and directed by the great Stephen Knight. And apart from Hardy it has a stellar cast of other voices that you will definitely recognise. Won the 2014 Barry Award for best paperb...
