Mulholland Drive (2001) It’s no wonder David Lynch’s work inspires such devotion (Review)
“Nah, you’re not thinkin’. You’re too busy being a smart-alec to be thinkin’” The Cowboy If you’ve never seen David Lynch’s 2001 Cannes Best Director winner Mulholland Drive, it’s probably worth stopping reading and buying Studio Canal’s new Blu-Ray restoration right now. That’s normally the kind of recommendation critics save […]
Why Modern Hollywood Hates Plot Twists
[WARNING: this article contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, all three Iron Man films, most of the Christopher Nolan Batman films, and, y’know, everything else.] Sitting down to watch Park Chan-Wook’s The Handmaiden recently, I experienced a pleasure I’d almost forgotten about; […]

Cinema Eclectica’s Top Movies of 2016
As with any year, the past 12 months have had their share of running themes. 2016 was far from a banner year for the superhero film, outside the fourth-wall-breaking filth of Deadpool (just missed out on a top 20 slot), there were an awful lot of middling to average films. […]
Classic Film Kid: Home Alone
Hi everyone, it’s me again, the Classic Film Kid, and I thought with Christmas less than a week away, we would review a classic festive adventure, and what better than Home Alone, the classic Christmas family comedy (without the family, like it says on the poster) starring a whole ton […]
Monopoly: Legendary for all the Wrong Reasons
I remember the first game of Monopoly I ever played. I loved it. The colourful board, the little car, dog, and old boot playing pieces. The fact that you had fake money and could buy stuff, that you could win second prize in a beauty contest. It was all so […]
