Long is the way, and hard…
Picturenose is embarking on a bit of a ‘films we have always meant to review’ trip, and this really is one I should have done some time ago. The greatest murder mystery, ever? Discuss.
There are some cinematic experiences that will stay with you, period. Picture the scene – back [...]
Quentin’s back to his best
Lt. Aldo Raine: The German will be sickened by us, the German will talk about us, and the German will fear us.

Well, it’s certainly a long film, but this reviewer’s betting that your time will fly. Not unlike the time passed by the titular BB in David Fincher’s (by and large) masterful take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1922 novella, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Just in case you haven’t heard yet, [...]

We thank you for your understanding at this difficult time.
Towering triumph
Superb. Just out-and-out superb. If you came for a scene-by-scene deconstruction and to hear how utterly pretentious it is, look away now. Regular readers will know that I have the attention span of a not-too-bright goldfish when it comes to films over ninety minutes long, but this one is two and a half hours [...]
