As part of HeyUGuys’ Star Wars celebrations I’d like to present you all with what I believe is a HUG first … a spot of poetry! But first, some context … It was back in the halcyon days of Summer 2008 when I wrote the following poem as a result of an afternoon spent tidying [...]
With a catalogue of songs that includes the likes of “Life on Mars”, “Starman” and “Space Oddity” David Bowie is hardly a stranger to the outer reaches of our galaxy. Yet it was British director Nic Roeg, hot off the success of “Don’t Look Now”, who allowed The Thin White Duke to fully embrace his [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #1 – “ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND” (2004) Directed by Michel Gondry Whether we’re simply trying to remember where we put last night’s lottery ticket or desperately trying to forget an unsuccessful past romance our memories can, and always will, be the most fragile [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #2 – “LOST IN TRANSLATION” (2003) Directed by Sofia Coppola Sofia Coppola’s second feature, following her sublime 1999 debut feature “The Virgin Suicides”, explores the themes of displacement, dislocation and humanity’s basic need for connection and whilst it uses the alien backdrop of Tokyo to [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #3 – “BEFORE SUNRISE” (1995) Directed by Richard Linklater Love and romance can often be both unexpected and wholly ephemeral yet unmistakably enchanting while it lasts, gently enveloping all it touches in a warm fairytale glow of seductive splendour and thus transporting those it embraces [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #4 – “THE FOUNTAIN” (2006) Directed by Darren Aronofsky In recent years Darren Aronofsky has become far more of a household name with his last two films, “The Wrestler” and “Black Swan”, being released to widespread critical acclaim. Yet it wasn’t always that way as [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #5 – “(500) DAYS OF SUMMER” (2009) Directed by Marc Webb Looking back over past romances can be a wholly unchronological affair. Instead of laying them out neatly in front of us from beginning to end our minds (not to mention our hearts) will so [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #6 – “JUNO” (2007) Directed by Jason Reitman Since appearing as “Boy Kissing Girl” alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Kindergarten Cop” aged just 13 Jason Reitman has come on in considerable leaps and bounds, quick to step out from the shadow of his father (“Ghostbusters” director [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #7 – “CHASING AMY” (1997) Directed by Kevin Smith Whilst watching Kevin Smith’s frankly dismal 2010 Bruce Willis/Tracy Morgan vehicle “Cop Out” on Blu-ray last year it was hard not to be reminded of the sheer impact his debut feature “Clerks” had had on audiences [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #8 – “SECRETARY” (2002) Directed by Steven Shainberg Dispensing with the customary flowers, chocolates and warm sentiments so prevalent in modern romances in favour of earthworms, red marker pens, harnesses and plenty of healthy spankings “Secretary” is certainly not your average romantic comedy. But though [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #9 – “AMÉLIE” (2001) Directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet Despite emerging as by far the weakest installment in the series “Alien Resurrection” does at least have one positive thing in its favour insofar as it led to director Jean Pierre Jeunet returning to France and [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #10 – “LARS AND THE REAL GIRL” (2007) Directed by Craig Gillespie Back in 2006 Channel 5 screened the documentary “Guys and Dolls” in which we met Everard Cunion, a 50 year old man who, unable to form a proper relationship with the opposite sex, [...]

**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here.** #11 – “BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN” (2005) Directed by Ang Lee If there’s one thing you can’t criticise Ang Lee for it’s lack of directorial diversity. In the last fifteen year alone he’s tackled Jane Austin, 70′s melodrama, the American Civil War, Qing Dynasty wuxia, erotic espionage [...]
For those of you as yet unfamiliar with the genre the “giallo” (plural “gialli”) is a 20th Century Italian genre of literature and film that gets it name from its literal meaning (“yellow”) in reference to its origin as a series of cheap paperback novels with trademark yellow covers. From its birth back in 1963 [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #12 – “THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP” (2006) Directed by Michel Gondry Proving that sometimes our greatest love stories exist only in our dreams Michel Gondry’s “The Science of Sleep” caresses your consciousness with its irrepressibly inventive display of creativity, craftsmanship and visual flair. When we [...]
**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #13 – “EAGLE vs. SHARK” (2007) Directed by Taika Waititi At first glance the Antipodean comedy “Eagle vs. Shark” appears very much cut from the same comedic cloth as Jared Hess’ 2004 ode to geekdom “Napoleon Dynamite” with its socially inept lead characters, quirky soundtrack [...]
With Darren Aronofsky’s “Black Swan” currently being showered with countless accolades and awards for the likes of Best Film, Best Actress and Best Director it’s perhaps fitting that we should take time out to appreciate the film’s stunning FX work. And in an age where CGI is overly abundant, overused and over obvious it’s even [...]
Whether it’s busy turning your heart into one sweet dream, or simply taking your heart and make it sing I guess we can all be eternally grateful that we don’t have to be Michael Bolton fans to realise that love is, indeed, a most wonderful thing. And with February already upon us we have but [...]
For anyone out there who’s played Quantic Dream’s hugely successful “Heavy Rain” on PS3 you’ll surely all agree that it was only inevitable that such a cinematically rich game should eventually make it’s way onto the silver screen. A game that divided gamers as much as it delighted them David Cage’s wildly ambitious project saw [...]
