About Me

Edna’s heartfelt ratings system:
1 star = Unwatchable (too bad to sleep to)
2 stars = Bad but watchable (a good sleeping film)
3 stars = Comme ci, comme ça (“Nice. Nice. Not thrilling, but nice.”)
4 stars = C’est si bon (reet gradely)
5 stars = Meisterstück (an all-time Edna favourite)

Damn the dull pretentiousness and smug disingenuousness of critics and bloggers heralding the latest puerile film fashions while cloyingly brown-nosing each other. “Dialectical engagement with cinema discourse”? “21st century cinephilia”? Great big fat hairy lesbian mammoth-bollocks to that! Take it from Edna, dears: opera and theatre are superior. Always remember: IT’S ONLY A FILM.

Honestly, dears, why don’t they provide these American films with subtitles? Often entire scenes go past, people blowing each other away, and Edna none the wiser.

I for one think this is a particularly…  read review

Incense for the Damned

Bloodsuckers (aka Incense for the Damned) is so very bad, the dear director (the British Jesus Franco?) asked for his blessed name to be taken off the credits after the producers edited it out of all…  read review

When I finally got round to watching this film, was it worth the wait? YES! YES! YES! I could happily (in retrospect) have waited another few years before seeing it. I stayed awake to operate the fast…  read review

Match Point

Edna always said Zelig was Woody’s worst film. Edna was wrong. Compared to Match Point, Zelig is a work of genius and funnier than cholera. Match Point was (and is and always will be) truly a dog of…  read review
