Beyoncé liveblog

Movie Feature | Ali | 23rd May 2013

Beyoncé! She's LITERALLY BLOODY EVERYWHERE. Scientists estimate that as many as 13% of all surfaces currently display an image of Beyoncé Knowles: she's impossible to avoid. This week, the singer/model/businesswoman lends her voice to animated adventure Epic, upgrading her media saturation from 'overwhelming' to 'suffocating'. With this in mind, I'm running a 24-hour liveblog on Beyoncé - just her general existence - marking each and every time the bloody woman booty-shakes her way into my waking day. Are you ready for this jelly?

Shadow Dancer

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 22nd August 2012

You can see the bind I'm in.

The Skin I Live In

Movie Review | Matt | 23rd August 2011

The chances are that anything you already know about The Skin I Live In actually amounts to very little. "Twisty", "psychological", "a bit of a headfuck"… does that sound about right? Well, yes to all of the above, and the reason you don't know any more is because this film involves a serious, changes-everything table-turn just after the midway point, which means I can't say much about the plot that doesn't run the risk of unleashing a major spoil. (*grits teeth*) Great.
