Yuck

Where last summer's shoegaze revival of sorts was centred around the mothball aura of ramshackle letdowns Veronica Falls, this summer ought to be awarded prematurely to the youf of Yuck, Suicide Policeman a sunset lullaby to drift off to amidst the Stone Circle, daydreaming of a rapid ascent into the upper echelons of Glastonbury within a perilous lantern doomed to comedown.

L'eclisse / The Fighter

L'eclisse (1962) ★★★

"Alain Delon" (dubbed):
E chi ha tempo di andare con una squillo? La squillo sono io!
(“Who has time to go out with a call girl? The call girl, that’s me!”)



The Fighter (2010) ★★

Christian Bale is pretty fucking good as the crack addict brother of white trash boxer played by one-face Wahlberg. Amy Adams does a good job too which seems to have landed her the part of Jane in Kerouac's On the Road (2011).

Mean Streets / Week End / Coast Guard / Tron

Mean Streets (1973) ★★★

In countless ways, right down to the detail of modern TV crime shows, Mean Streets is one of the source points of modern movies.
-Robert Egbert



Week End (1967) ★★★

Godard confronts us with his vision of the self-indulgent, materialistic, and dehumanised people we have supposedly become. However, ultimately his vision is optimistic. Consumerism is unsustainable and those who follow its path will perish, thus humanism will prevail.
-Daniel Tapper, Guardian



Hae anseon (2002) ★★ [The Coast Guard]

A beautiful and powerful movie dealing with the absurdities of borders and conflicts between countries. It also takes a satirical dig at the atrocities committed by army men.



TRON (1982) ★

Tron received nominations for Best Costume Design and Best Sound at the 55th Academy Awards, and received the Academy Award for Technical Achievement 14 years later. Over time, Tron developed into a cult film and eventually spawned into a franchise, which consists of multiple video games, comic books and an animated television series. A sequel titled Tron: Legacy was directed by Joseph Kosinski and was released in 2010
