Single Review: No Kite — How to be a Black Hole

After a quiet year, No Kite returns… — It has been just over two years since the release of No Kite’s debut EP Community Centre, and almost a year since he last played live. During that year of quiet from the young musician, work has evidently been put into solidifying his sound and bringing that sound to life…

Single Review: Magnetic Skies — ‘Suffocate’

Magnetic Skies’ latest single is brooding and melancholy — I last spoke about Magnetic Skies when I was asked to cover their (then) latest single, You Shine On. That song surprised me. Considering that I’m really not interested in the use of nostalgia in art, primarily just because it is relatively easy to provoke and has little to do…

Review: Enys Men (Mark Jenkin, 2022)

Understanding Mark Jenkin’s vague and stylistic sophomoric feature, partially through the lens of climate change. — A wildlife volunteer on an uninhabited island off the British coast descends into a terrifying madness that challenges her grip on reality and pushes her into a living nightmare. (via Letterboxd) I first came around to the work of Mark Jenkin in early 2019, when his film Bronco’s House (2015)…

Smoke

A poem. — The gaps we left to let light in let smoke through and blacked out the room. My cracking lips made way for blood rather than words screaming for help and all of that progress, all of that work, only spun the web that traps our bodies now. The windows wouldn’t…

Review: The Super Mario Bros Movie (Michael Jelenic & Aaron Horvath, 2023)

The oddly controversial film is mediocre and forgettable — Illumination’s latest is everything you would have expected from the studio of Minions and the cast behind one of the most beloved games franchises of all time. That’s right — mediocrity! …

Review: A Thousand and One (A.V. Rockwell, 2023)

Rockwell’s ambitious, elegant drama is one of the best films of 2023 so far. — I was only vaguely familiar with A.V. Rockwell’s previous work when coming into her feature-length debut, A Thousand and One, but I had already been impressed by the unique vision of her work. The work of hers I had already seen was politically focused, but also gentle, classy filmmaking with…

The Problem With John Wick: Chapter 4’s Ending

And a wider Hollywood issue worth discussing… — John Wick: Chapter 4 was the rare film that almost everybody seemed to agree on. The franchise had been building for almost ten years, gradually growing a healthy cult fanbase from its small, direct-to-video inspired beginnings in 2014’s first John Wick film. It revitalised Keanu Reeves’ career as an action…
