  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

    How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!

    The world forgetting, by the world forgot:

    Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

    Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned;

    It's been almost 20 years since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was released, and it feels like nothing else comes close to depicting the cyclical nature of relationships so honestly, or so deftly. With pitch-perfect performances from Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet (both playing against type), a stellar supporting cast of Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo, Elijah Wood and Tom Wilkinson, and an atypical non-linear structure showing the deterioration of Joel and Clementine's relationship in reverse.

    Who among us hasn’t asked what they’d do to remove the pain and hurt of an ex? Do soul mates exist? Are we constantly drawn to the same people, or people who remind us of the same people? Would we choose the instant gratification of memory removal, or the constant pain and sadness associated to that person leaving your life?

    Is it better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all?

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind !

  • Night of the Living Dead (1968)

    "They're coming to get you, Barbra!"

    You always ask for more horror, so I'm giving you the original and best. The genre-defining low budget zombie movie, an influential horror classic, an unintentional social and political commentary on racial inequality. George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead.

    The story of zombies has been rooted in culture for decades, and black history has its own myths, based around the Afro-Haitian slave trade, where slaves would welcome death to escape slavery, but feared being resurrected after death for an eternity of servitude.

    This movie teaches us that being good doesn't mean you'll survive; that in the zombie apocalypse, everyone is doomed, and hope is non-existent.

    Night of the Living Dead remains constantly relevant, ground-breaking horror, incorporating societal tensions and anxieties of the 1960s and beyond. And it's in the public domain, so lots of other people have remade, remastered, colourized and rebooted it...

    The original, though, is timeless. The ending to this movie will live with me forever.

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Night of the Living Dead (1968) !

  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

    Don't Panic

    “Hitchhiker’s by its very nature has always been twisty and turny, and going off into every direction. A film demands a certain shape and discipline that the material just isn’t inclined to fit into.”

    This is a quote by Douglas Adams, creator and writer of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Despite his (and many others') opinion that the material was mostly harmless (and unfilmable!), Adams was adamant for the big screen adventures of Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Trillian and Marvin, after successful BBC radio and TV series, and stage shows.

    A movie version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was originally mooted in 1982, which would never materialise, but it led to Adams' relaxation of the idea that all his characters must be British, and Adams was fully involved throughout writing the screenplay.

    The project was resurrected in early 2001 by director Jay Roach, and once again Douglas Adams would write the screenplay, adding new material and insisting only Arthur needed to be British...

    Adams' sudden death in May 2001 left the producers with two options: say "So long, and thanks for all the fish", or "Don't panic" and carry on with the movie Douglas Adams so desperately wanted to see...

    I would love to hear your thoughts on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) !

  • Hot Shots! & Hot Shots! Part Deux

    Another Nanorama (episodes slightly shorter, but focusing on interesting titbits of information) on the history and legacy of Jim Abrahams and Pat Proft's follow-up to the wildly successful Airplane! and The Naked Gun...

    Hot Shots! prime target for spoofing was Top Gun, but despite the material being right there, writing it turned into a potential life-imitating-art situation, when tensions started to build in the Gulf, and in the summer of 1990, Iraq (led by Saddam Hussein) invaded Kuwait, leading to a real US-led military coalition to liberate Kuwait. In the meantime, 20th Century Fox had already committed to filming at the start of 1991, with a plan to shelve the movie if things in the Gulf didn't improve...

    Obviously, the movie was released, as planned, and it led to Hot Shots! Part Deux, but the issue then was what to spoof next. There was no Top Gun sequel, but 80s action stars had been turning to comedy in recent years, with varying degrees of success. For every Twins, there was a Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot. Speaking of Sylvester Stallone....

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Hot Shots! & Hot Shots! Part Deux !

  • Pacific Rim

    Guillermo del Toro loves Japanese cinema, no more so than his passion for kaiju films, and it's this joy that fuels a loving homage to kaiju cinema like Pacific Rim, and it's this movie that concludes Kaijune for this very reason.

    A director known for his cinematic monsters, and his metaphors for man being the monster, was surely ripe for a kaiju movie. Pacific Rim is often misjudged and misunderstood as just a smashy smashy monster robot B-movie, but it's a beautifully made B-movie, a heartfelt attempt at making something wholly unique, with del Toro’s trademark world building.

    It only happened, though, because del Toro's passion project fell through. Pacific Rim would be his consolation prize, but it would also become the most fun he'd ever have on any of his sets.

    My appearance on Unequal Sequel, talking about my best, worst and dream sequel, can be found here. No guesses for the worst sequel. Surprise for my dream sequel, as it's very much linked...

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Pacific Rim !

  • Shin Godzilla (Shin Gojira)

    It was the US Godzilla remake that spurred Toho into making their own brand-new Godzilla remake. Not the previous episode's 1998 Godzilla, but Gareth Edwards' 2014 Godzilla, which ended up becoming a huge hit worldwide, and giving Toho the confidence that they could continue the long-running franchise.

    Shin Godzilla was announced in 2015, and just like the 1954 original it emulated, it would be a Godzilla born of disaster and tragedy, as well as a Godzilla who was a terrifying threat to mankind. A Godzilla who not only evolved, but evolved quickly to suit his surroundings; that spewed fire, radiation and destruction in his wake.

    How will Japan's government cope with such an intense, immense threat? Why, have multiple meetings, of course...

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Shin Godzilla (Shin Gojira) !

  • Godzilla (1998)

    From the depths of Kaijune comes the King of the Monsters.... GODZILLA!

    But not the Godzilla many fans were expecting when a US remake was announced in the '90s, and not the first attempt to make a US version of the legendary kaiju.

    Steve Miner had tried to get a 3D version off the ground in 1983, and then there was the infamous Jan de Bont version in 1994. Both stories are fascinating enough, but always lurking in the background of the 1994 version were Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin.

    They'd been offered Godzilla in the early '90s but turned it down repeatedly. After the 1994 project imploded due to budgetary concerns, they were offered it again.

    It would be the combined movies of Armageddon and Deep Impact that changed Emmerich's path, and sent him to accept a US remake of Godzilla, alongside Dean Devlin, with full creative control for the pair.

    And as we know, full creative control always goes to plan...

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Godzilla (1998) !

  • The Host (괴물) (2006)

    Bong Joon-ho is a fascinating director, and for the start of Kaijune, a theme month dedicated to cinematic monsters, I simple had to start with The Host, one of his lesser-known films but also one of his most accomplished.

    Bong Joon-ho does tend to make movies about monsters, but usually they’re figurative monsters. Capitalism, colonialism, greed, class inequalities, social injustice. But here, this is a literal monster born from humanity's greed, government conspiracy and environmental disaster. A monster who will eat anyone and anything in its path. A monster Bong was insistent to show in its entirety up front, and in daylight.

    Centred around the everyday Park family, and hapless father Gang-du, a shop worker who's pitied and berated by his family, loses his daughter in the panic after the monster appears out of the Han River. Gang-du ends up incarcerated and lobotomized, but still does everything in his limited power to find and save Hyun-seo, who refuses to be damselled and in turn protects and saves a younger child from being eaten by the monster.

    But is the monster really the monster? Or is America the monster?

    It's a deeply personal and relatable family story, wrapped in a monster movie. No wonder it broke box office records in South Korea...

    I would love to hear your thoughts on The Host (괴물) (2006) !

  • Heathers

    Heathers wasn't the first teen black comedy, but it certainly would go on to define teen movies going forward, with movies like Clueless, Jawbreaker and Mean Girls all benefitting from Heathers' influence, either vernacularly, sartorially or thematically.

    A candy-coloured world juxtaposed against the metaphorical "high school is hell", Veronica Sawyer is a member of the Heathers, the most popular, and most hated clique at Westerburg High. Led by Heather, aided by Heather and brought up in the rear by Heather, Veronica is not a Heather, but she might as well be, especially when she starts being influenced by bad boy loner J.D....

    Heathers would take a satirical look at teen suicide, self-harm, eating disorders, sexual assault, fatphobia, peer pressure (Teenage Suicide. Don't Do It!), but is possibly most well-known for being remarkably prescient when it comes to school shootings. 35 years ago, a student shooting classmates in the cafeteria was the stuff of far-fetched imaginations ran wild. Nowadays, it's become a horrific reality.

    The extreme always seems to make an impression...

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Heathers !

  • Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

    "Play Ja Ja Ding Dong!"

    Ok, ok...

    But also, to celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest being held here in the UK, and in support of Ukraine, the history and legacy of not only the contest itself, but also Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.

    Will Ferrell first saw the contest in 1999, and became a huge fan. It would take him over 20 years to bring a movie to the big screen, and it would be a movie endorsed by the European Broadcast Union. It had to balance a fine line between being an introduction to the competition for people who new nothing about the kitsch, campy song contest, and a love letter to its fans and participants.

    No-one expected it to become Oscar-nominated, though...

    I would love to hear your thoughts on Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga !
