I Saw A Film! A bit of a dual film glued together at the seams and mainly fascinating because of the fact that it stars possibly the best known rock and roll front-man of the age. The first thirty or forty minutes are a crime drama. James Fox plays Michael Caine playing a British thug…

I Saw a Film Michelangelo Antonioni makes films the way Murakami writes novels. So trained are we on clear and simplistic plot and genre that anything that breaks that format seems to many of us wholly incomprehensible or at least too difficult. Always the fastest way to get complaints about films is to deviate from…

I Saw a Film This is just your typical kung-fu zombie flick. Really nothing unusual except for the fact there's momentary vampire where the director might have gotten confused over what attributes reincarnated and possessed dead bodies might have.
