“Hey baby, ever tandem on a taun-taun? Ha not as dirty as it sounds!” I haven’t enjoyed a sitcom this much since Only Fools & Horses, Porridge or Open All Hours. I know, I know, they were so long ago. But what,what I ask you has there been […]
Chocky was the Thames TV adaptation of the 1968 novel by John Wyndham of the same name. It ran from 9th January 1984 to 13th February 1984 and was a six part miniseries. The question is though: where the f**k do I start with this? Firstly John Wyndham is […]
Ummm… I’m sorry but am I the only one that thought this film was a pile of sh*t? I don’t remember the last time I was so bored with a dreary, incredibly loud, road movie. I have never heard so much hype and so many good things about […]
I’ll start with a quick run-down of the synopsis as that is all we have to go on as far as ‘plot’ is concerned. Don’t misunderstand me as this is a masterpiece of assured and dark direction, devastatingly witty dialogue and one of the finest and versatile displays […]
“People are frightened by what they don’t understand“ An incredible film that so many more people need to watch, it’s another one of those ‘ladder’ films that churns your insides through empathy for the main character. It was written (adapted screenplay) and directed by the one and only […]
“Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won’t let go of life, your memories, and your attachments. They burn them all away. But they’re not punishing you, he said. They’re freeing your soul. So, if you’re […]
“Long pig (Laung pig) n. Culinary term for the human corpse” This is the greatest moc/documentary ever made. Truly the genres equivalent to Un Prophet or the wonderfully supreme series, Twin Peaks, I miss you David…. You have to start as anyone would have to start in saying: […]
“This is yours, this is f**king yours” The Oscars Special 2011 I want to start with explaining the intrepidation i felt walking into the cinema to watch this film. I have to say I was not looking forward to it. Also I feel the need to explain I was forced […]
“You know, I got it all figured out… Navy owes me 40 years back pay” I was very happy when the boss gave me this one to review. I watched a bit of the trailer and within 10 minutes realised I had seen and loved this a long […]
It is with great sadness that Cult Faction has to report that Rod Taylor has passed away aged 84 following a heart attck. Taylor was most known for his staring role in the H.G. Wells’ movie version of The Time Machine and an Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 thriller The Birds. […]
“You see them on the street. You watch them on TV. You might even vote for one this fall. You think they’re people just like you. You’re wrong. Dead Wrong” Well, what can I say about this gem of a film. John Carpenter, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and one […]
“Body by Plymouth, Soul by Satan” Firstly I’d like to start by explaining that this masterpiece, yes masterpiece, is in the top ten films ever made in my opinion. I was lucky enough to see it at a very young age, thanks dad, as a result my childhood […]
“If you want a favour, learn how to ask” A Prophet always leaves me with slight anger at its treatment in the 2010 Oscars. It was up for the foreign language film statue. It was, by some distance, the best film of its category. In fact, some influential […]
“Well maybe they’d like it if I lose. I gotta try losing sometime” Well they told me this was good, one of the best ever documentaries. They were right, who are they? We might have to do a review on them one day. This really is a very […]
I’ll start with saying this would have been a VERY different review if the greatest visionary director of our time had decided to make this. No disrespect to Richard Marquand but if ‘Revenge of the Jedi’ was directed by David Lynch those Ewoks certainly would have been scary […]
Well what can I say, the lesser of the three evils. This film was the one we all waited 4 hours and 38 seconds for. Revenge of the Sith promised everything: The moment the Emperor revealed himself; the moment Vader became Vader. The moment Vader sounded like Vader. The […]
A Scanner Darkly (2006) – what a Film, what a story, what an original idea! This is quite obviously a cult classic. But you know how everyone jumps on that band wagon when something is original. They see the ‘cool’, ‘dystopian’ etc etc feel to it. Please don’t […]
