REVIEW: Exit through the Giftshop
Sunday, March 14th, 2010
The Mysterious street artist/vandal/topic of controversy Banksy opens with his first film, a documentary about an attempted documentary maker. Thierry Guetta, a French immigrant in Los Angeles is a camera obsessive, who through his cousin ‘Invader’, gets gradually more and more involved in the subversive world of street art. Those of you wishing to see Banksy’s face or voice will be disappointed as he’s dubbed over, but the film, rather than being about him, is rather more directed by him, about the original filmmaker as a ‘more interesting character’.

REVIEW: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Saturday, March 13th, 2010
‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ is the first of the Millennium trilogy, a big-budget adaptation of a series of books by Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson. The story centres on both disgraced journalist Mikael and the violent and troubled young Lisbeth who, through alternate paths, become embroiled in a 40 year old mystery- the disappearance of a young woman. They investigate with an entire extended family of suspects over their shoulders. Needless to say, things get more mysterious as they get more dangerous.

REVIEW: Alice in Wonderland
Friday, March 12th, 2010
Tim Burton’s over anticipated re-making of the children’s classic tale finally reaches our screens in full 3D format. The expected Burton twist takes a somewhat dreary look at the magical world of wonderland. This time we follow Alice years after the first forgotten visit, in her return to the nightmarish Underland.

Queen’s University Players put on a hell raising performance of ‘The Screwtape Letters’ adapted for the stage by Nigel Forde from the novel by C.S. Lewis. Starring Shiraz Engineer as the cunning Screwtape and directed by the watchful eyes of Nathan Duddy and Shalom Joy Carr. The tale depicts the rise and fall of the senior devil Screwtape, whilst following the antics of her two newest students who although have much to learn, end up teaching Screwtape a lesson. Not only a truly hilarious play, it delves deeper by exploring the timeless battle of good V evil.

REVIEW: Little Moscow
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Little Moscow (Mala Moskwa) is the opening film of the QFT’s current Polish film festival – Kinoteka On Tour 4. Directed by Waldemar Krzystek, it’s the story of marital infidelity and troubled occupation in Legnica, the Soviet headquarters in Poland between 1945 and 1990, known as ‘Little Moscow’. Wiera (Svetlana Khodchenkova), the beautiful wife of Russian commander Jura (Dmitri Ulyanov), isn’t in Legnica long before she is wooed by Polish officer Michal (Leslaw Zurek). The affair has unfortunate consequences, flying in the face of the awkward Russian-Polish relations, which emphasize acceptance but not fraternization.
