THE LONG WALK
In all my days of watching film, I heavily doubt I’ve seen a piece as complicated, hard to follow, but at the same time as gripping and attention capturing as The Long Walk. Written by Christopher Larsen and directed by Mattie Do, the two fusion their skill to bring us a motion picture filled with […]
ROY
BAFTA winner David Bradley, known for his work on Oscar level films, is usually cast as a dark, cold-hearted man. In Harry Potter, he plays Argus Filch, a miserable caretaker of Hogwarts, forever giving the students a hard time. In-Game of Thrones, an even more sinister character as Lord Walter Frey. In Roy, he dazzles […]
Cindy Chao
With a notorious sculptor for a father and a much-celebrated architect grandfather, it is not difficult to see how this Taiwanese jewellery designer was destined to achieve great things as a creative artist. Cindy has always had a very three-dimensional mind. Perspective, space and depth are concepts that have preoccupied her since childhood and that […]
Cristal Blanc 2014
For me Cristal is a wine of the soul, its essence rooted in the sun and the chalk that feed the grapes whose juice will eventually become precious liquid gold, destined to dance in our palates and delight our senses. The pattern of the weather in the champagne region has changed a lot since the […]
A Life Less Ordinary
At the height of the conflict in World War II, Bletchley Park’s Hut 4 contained an eclectic group of codebreakers. Everyone from specialists in Egyptology to a debutante who was to become Prince Philip’ first girlfriend. Margaret Allan was part of that exclusive group. Not only did she have the intellect to keep pace with […]
CUT
The sybarites among you may remember that CUT was the first restaurant in London to have the highly desirable – and until then unobtainable – Japanese Wagyu beef back in 2014. However, it is not actually these precious cows that made the restaurant an immediate success among London foodies but their exceptional steaks. As the […]
Diamonds Truly Are Forever
Diamonds have long been one of nature’s most revered creations. Since the dawn of humanity their beauty, strength and resilience have enchanted people the world over. Ancient Greeks believed them to have mystical protective powers, and it is from the Greek term “Adamas”, meaning invincible, that the word “diamond” originates. Over time, the magic of […]
Black Magic
An exceptionally skilled break-dancer and a gifted showman, Magical Bones is considered one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the Magic scene in recent years. Born Richard Essien, he was nicknamed “Magical Bones” for his hard-hitting dance style. Despite having a successful career as a dancer, Essien’s heart was in magic and as […]
American Night
I jumped at the chance to review this movie as I am a big fan of Emile Hirsch, who I found electrifying in Nick Kassavetes’s Alpha Dog (2006). The rest of the leading cast are equally outstanding, starting with the legendary Michael Madsen, who has graced our screens with blockbusters like Thelma & Louis (1991), […]
