Payne nailed it with this scene.

And deservedly so!

Time for bed... kindness is the one thing you can give to someone else that enrichens your life.

Let's practice altruism and love:

हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे
हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे

One of the highlights of 2025 was stumbling onto my book in Chapters, Dublin. It takes tremendous courage to write one, yet it remains one of the most rewarding of endeavours:

QT has taste:

Jack Lucas is an irredeemable prick. I've never understood the appeal of this movie, despite the fact The Fisher King put Gilliam back on the map, and we got 12 Monkeys out of that.

Lennon would have been a hoot - muck like yerself, Eric!

Bookended by two vastly superior movies, Days of Heaven nevertheless showcases a story upheld by emotion and image:

Sophie Marceau really delivers as the haunted woman betrayed by father and country. The rest of The World is Not Enough is akin to the people behind the title track: garbage.

Lemonade Blessing - DMovies Teen has to decide between sex, religion and academia, in this fingerin' good little comedy - American indie is in REC Tarragona's Opera Prima section

I don't think I've laughed this much at a film since #Pillion.

The Holdovers (Alexander Payne, 2023). A genuinely devastating piece of art that rarely gets made these days for audiences wishing bishy-bashy explosions to accompany their tubs of popcorn.

A crap film through and through. Save yer pennies for Netflix.

Make sure to watch KOFM on a weekend.

It's not the film to watch on a worknight; you'll bring everyone down the next day.

It is possible to condemn #Israel and be equally disappointed in the #IrishGovernment's decision to take #ChaimHerzog's name down from a park. Right now, I'm both.

For the second time this year, I agree with Brendan O Neill:

I wasn't mentally able for the subplot of dead fathers in 2024, so I'm glad I didn't watch it back then.

I watched #TheHoldovers for the first time last night, and it is every bit as good as the reputation suggests. My second favourite American film from 2023 after Killers of Flower Moon.

Light as Feathers - DMovies Bolstered by Eryk Walny's magnetic performance, this rape drama has travelled well in the years following the #MeToo allegations - watch it for free in December only with ArteKino

It's never pleasant to review a film about rape, but Light as Feathers is an incredible accomplishment in character and narration: dmovies.org/2025/12/01/l...

It's always a thrill whenever #Mubi quotes from your work:

They had a copy of the boxset in m secondary school. It's one of the things I remember most from the music rooms.

Raphael Weinroth-Browne: Lifeblood - Spectrum Culture It's difficult to measure Lifeblood as some sort of conceptual operetta, given the lack of vocals. Whatever the genre, it's a success.

Quite possibly.

Is there anywhere in Dublin that isn't playing nauseating Christmas crap? This is the most loathsome time of year; no need to force it down our throats.

A finger forward, four fall back.

Terrence Malick is 82.
I showed The Thin Red Line to my A Level Film students in 1998.
After a brief silence at the end, a boy said loudly ‘that was bollocks!’
Two weeks later, he came to apologise, saying that he’d bought the video as ‘it’s stayed in my head since.’

My second favourite Mercury composition (Somebody to Love edges it slightly.)

One of cinema's true intellectuals. Best to enjoy his movies with a glass of your favourite wine, and understand that cinema can be cerebral as well as visceral. We need more Malick's and fewer Jason Statham movies.

Has Adam Lambert covered My Life Has Been Saved yet? It seems a perfect fit for his voice.
