Review: Transformers Revenge of the Fallen 3:01pm on 19 Jun 2009 Eloquent.
Pieces of blog and even more of your 3D thinking 09:51am on 14 May 2009 Congrats to whoever flagged up the Phoenix in Oxford. I am a first year student there and it has been my absolute favourite discovery since going up. There, and only there, have I been able to see "Waltz with Bashir", "Gomorra", "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" and "Let the Right One In".

However, when term is over and I go back home to leafy Sussex, I do not have this luxury and often have to coax my mother into joining me (and therefore paying for me) when I want to go and see a film which is only showing in London. Whilst this means I still get to spend quality time with at least one of the members of my family, it would be so much nicer if we did not have to rush out of the screening to catch a train and could enjoy a nice day out.

There has to be more support for local, arthouse cinemas, as they satisfy a considerable area of the market, and are mostly supported by good word of mouth.

To any film lovers in Oxford who have not sought out the Phoenix on Walton Street in Jericho, please, please do.
Reviews: In the Loop & Let the Right One In 11:13am on 20 Apr 2009 Dear Mark,

The answer to your holidaying dilemma is simple. Don't go on holiday. As far as I can see, it's cruel on your fans and according to you it's cruel on yourself.

Yours sincerely,
Jack
How to understand foreign language movie awards 7:40pm on 23 Feb 2009 Couldn't agree more. Looking forward to "Departures" now, though it would have to be brilliant to be better than Waltz with Bashir.
On BAFTA night no one goes home empty handed 4:52pm on 17 Feb 2009 Of course it's work. And the time I spent procrastinating and watching this blog was work too. Honest.
