    Black Swan was directed by Darren Aronofsky, not Danny Boyle.

      Yes, it was. Clearly I was asleep when throwing this together so quickly. Edited.

    Somehow Trainspotting is the only Boyle film I've seen, so what do you recommend of his I see next?

      All of them. lol. I think 127 Hours might be my favorite of his, so maybe that one? 28 Days Later is great too.

    The only film of Boyle's that I haven't seen is Shallow Grave and a few TV films he did in the early 2000s. Yet, Trainspotting remains my favorite film of his.

    I like Boyle, but he can a bit hit or miss for me. Trainspotting and 127 Hours are amazing. Slumdog Millionaire is also very good. Have to admit I don't care much for 28 Days Later or Sunshine. I haven't seen any of the others yet.

    The weird thing is that I loved everything that Boyle did earlier, but his last few movies have just been really disappointing for me. He will always remain the guy who spoilt two of my all time favourite books (The Beach and Q&A)

      I never liked The Beach, that's the one of his that I hated it.

    Trainspotting would be my favorite of those as well. Trance might actually be my second favorite Boyle film, though. That movie just works so well for me.

      It was very good, it wasn't my favorite Boyle film, but I'd love to give it a watch again.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Review: The Ugly Stepsister

Official synopsis : Follows Elvira (Lea Myren) as she battles against her gorgeous stepsister, Agnes (Thea Sofie Loch Næss)  in a realm where beauty reigns supreme. She resorts to extreme measures to captivate the prince ( Isac Calmroth)  , amidst a ruthless competition for physical perfection. It's no coincidence that some of the best body horror films are ones that are about the ridiculous beauty standards placed upon women. "Beauty is pain" after all. The two go hand in hand.  Here, first time director Emilie Blichfeldt takes a classic fairy tale that we all know and dials it up to eleven. Prepare to cringe. Poor Elvira goes to serious lengths to be deemed "beautiful." Nevermind that Elvira IS already beautiful, but she has *gasp* braces and a bump in her nose. ( allegedly) Her mother doesn't support her daughter and tell her she's fine the way she is, instead she encourages the painful procedures Elvira goes through. It's hard to watch on multipl...

Earlier this week I made a post where I ran through the letters of the alphabet with my favorite movie titles. There were a few people that suggested I turn it into a blogathon, and I've never done that before. So here goes nothing! Since this is my first attempt at a blogathon, it's all pretty simple, and it's hopefully a quick post that everyone can join in. Rules: 1) Going through the alphabet, list your favorite movie title beginning with each letter.  2) You don't have to necessarily  like the movie to use it's title.  3) Use the banner at the top of this post in yours. 4) Please have submissions in by Friday, May 30th*. (But I'll be honest, if you send them to me after that date, I'll still add them to my post.) You can either leave a link to your post in the comments here or tweet it to me, ( @ramblingfilm )  Thanks everyone! :)  *I had to move the date back a week due to Photobucket threatening me with bandwidth issues. But...
