Six Of The Best – Little-Seen Gems

Audition v2

This sort of thing can rapidly turn into a vanity project, so I will have to watch my step a little. Laudable as it is to try to bring to people’s attention some splendid films which they may not have seen, it can swiftly deteriorate into, “oh gosh, you haven’t seen Cube: Zero, what kind [...]

HeyUGuys IMDb250 Project Wk11 – World Cinema

Naturally, the majority of the IMDb250 list is made up of North American films. It’s perfectly understandable, Hollywood is the movie capital of the world, and whilst Bollywood and Japan probably produce a comparable volume of movies, it is American cinema that is the most heavily financed, and most widely distributed. It’s perhaps surprising, especially considering [...]
