Of the people who went in and out of the doors of The Factory she stands out perhaps most of all. Why? Because she is the woman who shot Andy Warhol. Which bring me neatly to how I heard of her — the film I Shot Andy Warhol. That film was a great portrayal of [...]
The film by Julian Schnabel delivered the tragic yet charming story of Basquiat to me before I found it, which I eventually would have through my exploration of Warhol and the world of The Factory.
His art is unlike anything else that I have seen before or since — it has a musical quality to [...]
Have I anywhere publicly expressed my loathing for Star Wars? I am not sure that I have. I feel the urge to do so now. Why? Because my children have the Star Wars Lego computer game and the sound of R2D2 screaming like he is being introduced to twelve inches of wookie meat is driving [...]

If you are into music, and I mean good music (fuck that relativistic bullshit about personal taste and all that) then you will find your way to Tom Waits. Actually if you watch a fair amount of films you may find him via that medium — he has a fairly healthy filmography under his belt [...]
My first introduction to Takeshi Kitano was through Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence where he plays the Japanese guard that everyone could like. At the time I didn’t know his name and have to admit that I was watching the film for a certain Mr David Bowie. Still his acting left a definite impression and when [...]
When it came out there was nothing out there quite like it — it was edgy, humourous, sexy and intelligent; it was a prime example of MTV hitting the nail squarely on the head. It meshed Western ideas of sci-fi with the anime aesthetic in a way no one had seen. The cartoon still seems [...]
If you watch this film I can guarantee you that it is gonna stick with you — you will let that title roll off your tongue in a trilling victorious though damaged voice that those in the know will recognise: Bad Boy Bubby. Bubby has been locked up for thirty years by his mother who [...]
On a recent flight I got to watch Factory Girl where Sienna Miller plays Edie. I have read interviews with David J of Bauhaus and with the authors of Girl On Fire a book about Edie. She had been on the periphery of my mental landscape for a long time — I think my first [...]
If there is such a thing as an under-rated Tarantino film then I would posit that this is it. Not a favourite among many Tarantino fans that I know (my sources are as reliable as any Gallup poll, I assure you). I think it is a shame because the characters in this film are in [...]
