Star Trek Into Darkness review (no spoilers)

This is a good film. It is a very good film. I really, really liked this film. Fear not, the whole review will not simply be variants of that single statement, I just wanted to start out with that news which I am happy to report. After the successes of... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/14

Hello, good evening, and welcome to a pretty late edition of Film Flare's Film Diary, the blog where the concept of a weekly diary is loosely followed. It's been a quiet old week on the film front so as such, there is only 1 film for FFFD this week. An... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/13

Morning everyone (probably good evening actually by the time this goes out). A simple, honest FFFD today and tomorrow/wednesday there will be a shiny, glowing review of a small film I'm sure no one has heard of called IRON MAN (caps!). Short answer: it's really good. Longer answer will be... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/12

Evening one and all. A pretty short entry this week as I only watched one film. (I did watch 10 seconds of another film but fell asleep) So here it be, in my opinion, one of my favourite films. Fargo (1996) Using the old Texas Chainsaw 'based on a true... Continue reading

Finally, Warner Brothers have realised that they have in their possession one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the year inthe shape of Man of Steel. After a teasing, softly softly approach of countdowns to website launches and so on, there were a smattering of trailers but now the marketing... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/11 (Part 2)

....and hello again. Part 2 here! Well, actually, the author here, Part 2 can't speak but if it could, it'd be saying '....and hello again. Part 2 here!' I'm rambling again. Sorry. We go in! 30 Days of Night (2007) This is a vampire film. That creature in the above... Continue reading

Part 1? I can practically hear you through my monitor (and through time too, I do have pretty big ears!). Yes yes! Part 1, the first of two parts for FFFD this week. It's so simple, this entry refers to the two comedic films I watched this week whilst Part... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/10

Hello and welcome. Being Monday, it is obviously time for another stirling edition of FFFD. The blog was voted by Time magazine as the most likely source of literature available in the world today to cause Kim Jong Un to step down his fierce rhetoric, a level of praise which... Continue reading

Trance review (no spoilers)

Olympic opening ceremony director and balding national sweetheart Danny Boyle has had an illustrious twenty year career that has successfully spanned several genres. From his crime debut, Shallow Grave, he has made films involving zombies (28 Days Later), sci-fi (Sunshine), depressing drugs sagas (Trainspotting), biographies (127 Hours) and drama (Slumdog...

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/9

A fine evening to you all, If you are anything like me then the combination of clock change and bank holiday means you have no earthly idea what day it is. It is Tuesday. And FFFD is one day late. Sorry. Taxi (1998) The first entry in the hyper-successful 'Taxi'... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/8

Whatteau folks. Tonight I am writing a super special edition of FFFD because the films I watched last week were all musicals. Yes! Once I was as prejudiced as you (maybe) are, that musicals are the sole domain of the flamboyant, the Andrew Lloyd Webbers and people who use the... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/7

Good evening everyone. This FFFD entry is going to be utter 'magic', a 'wand'-ering journey that'll cast a 'spell' on you that'll make you forget those 'hog warts' on your face and will make you 'potter' to the...........place. I am going to review Transformers. Transformers (2007) The only magic at... Continue reading

Evening there folks and lady folks, No Film Flare tonight, or until at least the 5th of March. Sorry. It's because I'm going here: To work on my tan and to destroy the One Ring. See you laters, I'm sure, with tales aplenty from my travels. Samwise says 'Hi', by... Continue reading

Looking forward to 2013 (July - Dec)

Hey again. After the last entry highlighted a TINY amount of films coming out which grab my interest, it makes sense to finish the job and to do the same thing for the latter half of the year. However, as you will soon be able to deduce yourselves, the second... Continue reading

Good evening everyone and welcome to another FFFD entry. Vroom vroom. If my poor onomatopoeic phrases don't give too much then this is going to be a car related blog entry. Filled with cars....and carbon monoxide (depending on how it goes). Fast and Furious (2009) Expertly dropping the 'The' and... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/4

A hearty monday to you all. Another long toil of a Monday is bettered by the appearance of Film Flare, the collection of words that deal with films and stuff. Let the collection commence: Sleepy Hollow (1999) Oh hello Tim Burton film with Johnny Depp. The modern classic combination have... Continue reading

Film Flare's Film Diary 2013/3

This FFFD will be slightly different from previous installments due to the fact that I will be reviewing a trilogy of films not as individual parts but as the whole. The trilogy in question is Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. After the negative reaction against Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin (1997),... Continue reading

Django Unchained review (no spoilers)

I love Westerns. John Wayne, Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood, Sam Peckinpah, John Ford, Howard Hawkes, Charles Bronson, many famous names have graced the genre but for me, the more cynical European westerns are those that stuck with me the most, the most famous examples being the well known 'Spaghetti Westerns'....

Best of 2012. Honourable Mentions

Making a list of the five best new films I saw last year is not as easy as it sounds. You are inevitably forced to cut out several films which were really good, just not quite good enough. This is simply a very brief list of those that almost made... Continue reading

Best of 2012. Number 1

Dum dum dum dum dum! (music loses some of its appeal when it is just written onomatopaeic words) So here it is. The smartest, most tense, most shocking and (in my opinion) the best film I saw last year. Rian Johnson's time travel character drama, Looper. Part of the great... Continue reading

Best of 2012. Number 2

I'm going to disrupt usual FFFD proceedings until this gets done. Anyway. Number 2 on my list is... Altogether brighter, more fun, funnier and more action packed than The Dark Knight Rises. Joss Whedon displays his masterful ability to control a large cast of characters and to give the action... Continue reading

Best of 2012. Number 3

The final part of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. Trying to fill the exceptionally large clown's shoes the Joker left behind is no easy task and Dir. Nolan and screenwriters Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer do very well to give us a third film that almost... Continue reading
