I love how “The Avengers” blatantly rips off Power Rangers. Every hero has a set of casual clothes which is somehow colour co-ordinated with his costume. Bruce Banner (Hulk) has a purple shirt. Steve Rogers (Cap) wears a blue…

#7: Killer Joe
In a rare move, the MPAA awarded “Killer Joe” an NC-17 certificate, the American equivalent of 18. It cited the film’s “graphic disturbing content involving brutality, violence and sexuality”. That was all I needed to hear before I bought myself…
#8: The Raid
The Raid is the second-best Welsh-directed Indonesian martial arts action movie that I’ve seen this year. All right. It’s the best. But honestly, how many non-Bollywood films ever come out of Asia? And the films that do are usually…
#9: Margaret
Most people fall into two camps when they think of Anna Paquin. Either they see her as Rogue from the “X-Men” trilogy, a streak of white through her black hair. Or they picture her as Sookie Stackhouse from HBO’s “True…
#10: The Muppets
Philosophers, theologists and scientists have tried for centuries to define the concept of “the soul”. That intangible object which separates humans from mere animals. It’s my humble opinion that the answer lies in our unique ability to appreciate, and love,…
The Scarecrow
The old man proudly dressed him In familiar, moth-eaten clothes And tasked him to watch over the cornfield. The scarecrow’s back, as straight as its rod. He held his chin held high And relished his grimace. For a while it…
Pyrrhic Victory
On the battlefield Lie the dead. A reminder. Why did I want this?
The Walking Dead
“Hey, hey – what are you playing at here? These are the Corzies for Christ’s sake! They command dignity and respect! They’re awards for film – the universal art form. You can’t just go and tarnish them by –” I’ll…
Penny Black
Treasured above all’cause of her imperfectionsNot in spite of them.
Inferno
First the cynics, who live without hope Then those who were swept by desire. Next inner emptiness of those who can’t cope; Fools and hoarder too, doomed to this fire. The bitter are here, still not letting go; As are…
On The Shelf
Hands bound and feet bound. Looking out my plastic cage; Other toys are freed.
Shore Leave
Boot camp: a distant memory to some, A figment of imagination others others. All we know is this port to which we’ve come Laying down our arms alongside our brothers. Many eat and drink to their heart’s content While others…
The Iceman
A prince In his own time. Blond and proud The world his oyster. The throne awaited him Or so he was told. Absorbed in fantasies Of being more than he then was. He dreamed Of being a king. Grey clouds…
Lighthouse
There never was a formal exchange. No passing of a baton. No palming of the keys. One day I chose to leave that warm and cosy room. And ventured up the winding stairs, Ascending, clockwise. As time itself marched on.…
The Sapling
There’s a sapling That’s been growing in my garden. For quite some time. It seems weak. Fragile. And bare. It has nothing to offer. Nothing to give. The grass around it grows tall and wild. It can’t be tamed, coaxed…
