Review: Nope (2022)

Posted on August 14, 2022 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble For the first time in a while, Nope has felt like a genuine event movie. With minimalist and eyebrow raising teasers and the promise of Jordan Peele tackling the alien invader sub-genre, there’s been a palpable eximent on my … Continue reading →

Posted on August 8, 2022 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble If there’s one movie that can get me of the proverbial couch to board the chopper (that is my blog) then it’s Prey. For years, a period centric Predator film has been on the cards, and it’s so surreal … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Spectre (2015)

Posted on September 30, 2021 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble Truth be told, choosing Spectre’s one great shot took a while. That’s not a slight on the film, but an illustration of how tricky choosing one image to talk about is. But much like the shots from Casino Royale … Continue reading →

One Great Shot: Skyfall (2012)

Posted on September 29, 2021 by Sartaj Govind Singh

Preamble To quote Gandalf from The Return of the King, “We come to it at last.” Skyfall is my favourite James Bond film for many reasons. One of them has to do with the shot under discussion. So, without further … Continue reading →
