Kill Bill - Volume 1 (Critique)
I hated it the first time. Over the top, silly, too long, too violent, too muddled. But now? Each scene - no, each frame - gorgeously stylised, terrific badass protagonist, perfectly chosen soundtrack (seriously, spot-on), exquisite casting.

Paul - Critique
Wildly underrated film. Funny, very quotable, great soundtrack. Pegg and Frost are PERFECT together in this. Jason Bateman's great as well, and Sigourney Weaver puts in an appearance. You'll learn how to cuss like a pro. Should have been in the Cornetto trilogy instead of The World's End.

Snow White (Disney 1937) - a critique
A timeless tale, a technically brilliant telling. But the modern lens is brutal: the humour and themes don't hold up. An awful protagonist: a wet hen with a grating voice and no personality, surrounded by little leches. Never walks; minces everywhere waving her arms. Best character: Grumpy. Watch instead: Rammstein.

New Musings on the Block
I noticed recently that I've got 3,000 reads! Whoever you are, thank you. I wanted to mark this milestone somehow, but wasn't sure how. Then I read Lilly Cooper's Top Story about writer's block. (If you haven't read it yet, go and have a look - it's insightful!)
