Sep

2011

All good things… As we all bid farewell to summer (gee, wasn’t it great?), James and Colin each offer their definitive top five favourite finales of all time. Do let us know whether you agree, won’t you? James’s Choice 5. Some Like It Hot (1959) Dir. Billy Wilder I thought that I would start with ...

2010: Ten Best Films 9

Dec

2010

Here’s the only top ten that really matters, then, as Picturenose’s owners, Colin and James, offer their respective five best films. Over to Colin first: 5. TRON: Legacy (2011) Yes, yes – I know it’s not officially a 2010 release this side of the pond, but I’m just so gosh-darn excited about the release, I can’t help but mention it. ...

Ten Best Christmas Movie Moments 2

Dec

2010

Just a little something to keep you warm while the festive season gets into full swing – it’s another list, of course, this time the ten moments that I consider to be the most, well, ‘Christmassy’, and I would love to hear about what you consider to be the notable omissions. 10. Billy Ray: [posing as ...

Dec

2010

Once Upon a Time in the Western… To complete the trilogy begun by James with horror and sci-fi, and ahead of the holiday season, when they will all doubtless be shown *somewhere* on the glass teat, our man Cillian offers his very own rootin’, tootin’ top ten.

Bond. James Bond.

Sorry, but it had to be done. As I posted previously, horror and sci-fi are my two favourite film genres but, when it comes to excitement over a movie, nothing tops waiting in line to see the latest extravaganza featuring Ian Fleming‘s definitive gentleman spy. Here then are presented all 26 films (three of which ...

Sep

2010

‘Keep Watching the Skies!’ OK, OK, I promise that I am not going to do every genre of film, up to and including 10 Best Films Involving Otters, but such was the pleasing reaction to my previous list, 10 Best Horror Films, I decided that there was still room to include an appreciation of the ...

10 Best Horror Films 14

Aug

2010

The horror, the horror… Missed me? Been away for a little while, thought it was only fair to allow Picturenose’s other fair contributors (well, Colin) to have a sojourn in the spotlight. Anyway, Colin’s recent excellent post, 10 Great Final Bows, put me in mind of a list of my own that I have been ...

10 Great Final Bows 8

Aug

2010

Some actors just seem to fizzle out, whereas others go with a huge bang. Here’s my personal top ten of actors who finished at the top of their game. It’s in no particular order, and you are welcome to let me know who should have been included and what a crappy film reviewer I must ...

Not Without A Hitch… 6

Feb

2010

The Master of Suspense’s Top Ten? Tell us if you agree… 1. North by Northwest (1959) Simply his best outing – the master ratchets up the tension in this classic tale, which starts off with a New York skyscraper as the backdrop to very stylish credits and a roaring Bernard Hermann score. It is a ...

2010

He’s back! The splendid Cillian Donnelly returns, he who some time ago presented his first list of 100 Movies To Be Seen Before You Die. Enjoy his latest thrilling installment! 101. Orpheé (1950) Post-war retelling of the Orpheus legend, featuring a dominatrix Angel of Death, Nazified celestial dispatch riders and poetic fragments broadcast over short-wave ...

All-Time Top 5 Miscastings 2

Jan

2010

Unless, of course, you know different? Some actors are just so good that we can forgive them their little peccadillos – let’s face it, George Clooney is a top bloke, but not all of his films are great, and not all the roles he casts himself in are well-advised. And Johnny Depp – for every ...
