REQUIEM FOR A DREAM (2000) review:

Image
What is the month of November if not the month of remembrance, of mourning… a requiem if you will. Perhaps it’s the reason why we call it Fall, the descent into days of a year being numbered. Why say this? Well, I did what at one time I thought impossible back in February: I watched Darren Aronofsky’s magnum opus (an opinion I’d heard on the streets and now embrace) Requiem for a Dream. It’s taken me a while to get my thoughts down because, like most decent humans, the constant trauma this film puts you in during and indeed after the viewing was something I didn’t wish to return to. Yet, like a drug addiction, it lingered and grew to the point of being irresistible and I ended up watching it again two nights ago. And it seemed November, the darkest month of the year, was perfect to post it. I cannot say my review will turn heads for originality but it does exist to share a subjective experience of someone who was less afraid of this than the worst horror movies. What I can say is that

ARGYLLE: AN OVERSTRETCHED SPY THRILLER THAT LOSES ITS CHARM FAST

Image
From what looked like a snazzy premise of art imitating life, Matthew Vaughn seemed to get lost in keeping the concept alive for a runtime that is too long for it, along with losing the directorial flair of his Kingsman films. As a result, Argylle is very messy. It succeeds well in the first hour where the imagination of Ellie Conway, an introverted spy novelist, matches the ongoings of a shady syndicate and a spy, played by Sam Rockwell of all people, is sent to protect her. So, let’s clear this up, Henry Cavill is not the main star of this show. As it is always wonderful to see his beautiful face and for him to live, albeit briefly, in the role of James Bond that he may never see, Cavill is a fleeting cameo designed only for ticket sales. It would have been fun had he played more of a part in the big twist at the end, but alas, one of the most popular actors of today is sprinkled throughout the first three quarters, then disappears and had me forget he was in the film, to begin with

AWARD SEASON ENDS: THE OSCARS RECAP

Image
It is now the conclusion of this year’s award season as the 96 th Academy Awards aired with an array of pleasing, if not predictable, results. You might be sensing a bit of a pattern from these award ceremonies. The Golden Globes, Critic’s Choice and BAFTAs alike have all seen Oppenheimer explode (no pun intended) in most if not all of the major categories. And now that the Oscars have passed, this year’s award season can be safely deemed ‘Oppenheimer and the rest’ as it took home seven awards, including Best Picture and Director. Us Oppen-homies can rejoice at the hugely satisfying display of Christopher Nolan clutching Best Director. Despite being acclaimed as one of the greats of modern cinema, the auteur has struggled to twist the awards in his favour as he has done with time and linear narratives. His only wins are one for the effects in the sci-fi odyssey Interstellar and a posthumous Best Supporting Actor for the late Heath Ledger. Now, not only is Nolan’s award shelf jam
