Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Castle Rock… Any programme that can comfortably incorporate early experimental Tom Waits and mainstream Roy Orbison alongside a hail of bullets must be worth watching. Imbued with a solid sense of self like all great works of fiction Castle Rock continues its unfettered run into darkness. Middle Eastern […]
Preacher Season 3 Episode 6 Review – ‘Les Enfants du Sang’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Preacher season 3… There is much to be said for killing a man with body weight alone. Like some grotesque caricature of Mr. Creosote from Monty Python’s Meaning of Life, this gargantuan religious leader is part Jabba The Hutt, part Fat Bastard and one hundred percent inflammatory metaphor. […]
Preacher Season 3 Episode 7 Review – ‘Hilter’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Preacher season 3… Amongst the chuck away moments of caustic humour, Viking burials and Mozart references there is something more controversial afoot this week. Surrounded by sandwich fillings and glowing employee testimonials a dictator of renowned plots his conquest of the civilised world. Between the sun lamps, Catholics […]
Castle Rock Season 1 Episode 5 Review – ‘Harvest’
Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Castle Rock… A metaphorical Harvest and the reaping of seeds sown brings home to roost certain truths about Castle Rock this week. Catholic attrition for past transgressions, past misdemeanours from those seemingly beyond redemption and a purging to wipe the slate clean for new comers. Beyond the biblical […]
Preacher Season 3 Episode 8 Review – ‘The Tom/Brady’
Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Preacher season 3… There is nothing more tastelessly crass, borderline blasphemous and pitch black pithy than an exploding Christ. Kevin Smith might have lead the charge with Dogma, George Carlin and Buddy Christ but Preacher not only takes his cake, consumes that spongy confection and redefines the line […]
Castle Rock Season 1 Episode 6 Review – ‘Filter’
Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Castle Rock… There is something hypnotically engaging about Castle Rock. Beyond the tit bits of terror, porch side confessionals and elegantly crafted structure this series possesses a maturity and quality to which few can lay claim. Omnipotent expressions from eerily self-confidence Shawshank alumni, moments of clarity in the […]
Preacher Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘Schwarzkopf’
Martin Carr reviews the penultimate episode of Preacher season 3… Aside from the theological debates, sacrilegious moments of dramatic dread and Preacher’s propensity for exploding evangelists you have to question the sanity of creators Gareth Ennis and Steve Dillon. Voices of God concealed up rectal crevices, Dolly The Sheep levels of cloning and their inclusion […]
Castle Rock Season 1 Episode 7 Review – ‘The Queen’
Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Castle Rock… Mental disintegration has rarely been tackled on screen with such elegance, restraint and consideration as it is in Castle Rock this week. Sissy Spacek holds court with poise, precision and an understated frailty which grounds some of the more fantastical elements. Structurally speaking ‘The Queen’ requires […]
Preacher Season 3 Finale Review – ‘The Light From Above’
Martin Carr reviews the season 3 finale of Preacher… Great television shows like classic albums stand the test of time and leave their mark. Musically these are the records you rarely own, covet intermittently and promise to purchase next. Some of these so called classics gain cult status over time, hook into a trend and […]
