So I hate film remakes at the best of times (what’s the point even? I didn’t watch Conan the Barbarian the first time around, I’m extremely unlikely to watch a testosterone-pumped version of the same. Also the Swedish version of Let the Right One In was far superior to its Hollywood remake, as was the Korean version of The Eye and every Japanese version of every horror film ever). … Continue Reading

Last week I was fortunate enough to find myself celebrating the 25th London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival alongside my very own birthday shenanigans. Sleep would have to be a stranger for a couple of days if I wanted to squeeze in all that energy, entertainment and excitement, and keep the juicy bits. … Continue Reading

To faggots, lezzies, dykes, cross-dressers too….
I doubt I would dislike anything that has lines like the above, and I’m usually rather on top of my queer pop culture, so it baffles me that it took me this long to see Rent. Not the stage musical, unfortunately, but the film, with much of the original Broadway cast. In a word, Rent is brilliant. … Continue Reading
I love advertisements on the underground. I spend so much of my life down there – mostly because of the utter crappiness of the Hammersmith & City line – that seeing the ads for new movies, exhibitions and theatre is almost like a life-line for my social life. And I was super excited the other day to see that a poster informing me that Precious has finally gotten a release date here. … Continue Reading
