I’m a young lad in need of extra cash, I’m a sex maniac so I may as well make some money from it. Looking for daddies who will really appreciate me, I want to be wanted. The more you want me, the bigger the discount. No one’s managed to get a freebie from me yet, but …

Cum enjoy the kind of oral that’ll make your toes curl. No weirdness, no drama, no recip., cash only.

Watch your favorite porn or close your eyes and fantasize, describe your cock inside my face, talk or don’t. I just want to get to work.

Straight/bicurious guys a specialty.

You: looks unimportant, horny. I’m not looking for Mr. Ed — pretty junk is as good as giant junk.

Me: cute, young, slim, concentrated, patient, expert, swallow.

God knows it’s hard to deal with ageing when you’re a baby faced twink bottom porn star. Either you quit in your mid-20s while you’re ahead, or you keep working while losing your appeal in ever cheaper productions or cam work for less and less money, or you try pumping and tanning yourself into a tough guy in hopes of refreshing your meat like Jake has done. And, relatively speaking, he’s done a fairly decent job at that. And God knows people pay through the roof to see some middle aged teen pop star they used to love in concert.

Are there any Older Teachers or Teacher types out there who would like to spank me? Have only done this twice so far but I think I can safely say that everyone enjoyed themselves! I am looking for something more realistic though as both these guys were American college gym coaches on holidays. It would be much more exciting (for me) if you are or are a real Teacher or have some academic background to help me live out what seems to be my desire to get spanked by someone intellectually superior to me.

Hey hey 🙂 nice that you made it down here. I am Jay 🙂

What I’m looking for is a good question I’ve actually got nothing I think is missing really.
I’m not really the guy for one night shit, but if that’s your deal then what the hell.
I have high stress job, so this is just theater.

On what type of man I am is so relative so whether the hair is blond or brown or cut or long or shaved and such things I honestly do not care much.
But what I don’t find awesome is when guys just stare at me for hours and at some point grab my ass.

If you see me somewhere, just walk to me and make me an offer do not write to me 2 weeks later I saw you on the subway.

Just write me a ‘Hey, I want *this*, I’ll pay you *this*’ and a picture of your face. People without a face I find something scary.
And no I’m not arrogant even if I have a real Bitch look sometimes on it I have unfortunately inherited from my mother.

They say in your 20s you stop caring about what other people think and adopt more of a “f*** it” attitude… well it’s taken me until the third month of my 20s to apply that to my total antipathy to get a boring real job! In “real life” I’m pretty sane, normal (whatever that means), lazy obviously, get high, and a bit shy… suffice to say my friends would be very shocked to find me on here.

Funny. “Assland 7” is the title of the latest of my youtube horror films in the series “Assland”. I just popped it in there out of habit. In the films “Assland” is the name of a small town where everyone acts like an ass or is an asshole and they slaughter each other.

statusquo, 18
Skopje

this profile is on behalf of an 18 year old boy i have recently inherited due to the sudden death of his mother, my sister. he is tall, athletic build, attractive, but very reclusive and asocial and incommunicative. i’m looking for non-sexual meets for him with friendly but firm men in order to socialise him. preferably those who can have him be around their friends too.

i have rules for meets. he must be undressed in all situations where it is legal and minimally clothed elsewhere. he must remain undressed even in front of your friends and others even if everybody else is fully clothed. he is not permitted any privacy which means he must not make attempts to cover himself up or gain privacy for example by closing doors. he must be coaxed to speak at all time. hosts and their other guests are encouraged to talk to and about him. despite not looking for sexual activity hosts may masturbate in his presence. he may be photographed or filmed or shown on streaming sites such as cam4 but i would need assurances that he was suitably anonymous either through framing or headgear. kissing him is permitted and highly encouraged.

i do take my duty of care to the boy extremely seriously and this arrangement is not entirely consensual.

I’m not experienced in escorting but nor am I a novice to having sex, all I know is that I would treat you like any of my nonpaying partners. I like to talk, take our time, a beer or two, flirt and … No staging or precipitation, we remain first of all two human beings sharing an intimate moment. Yes, I’m an invalid and look like one but think on the bright side – I can do anything in bed, you just have to do most of the work. I’ve been told I have a “pink juicy pussy.”

I am very thin but I also think very nice. I like my body being kissed and licked everywhere by a man over 50 years old. I’m not an Escort like these other guys, but my bad habits addict me! I can be great in bed but also suffer from Asperger’s Syndrome, ADHD, OCD and PTSD, so please forgive me if I’m hyped up during sex or if I seem like I have a chip on my shoulder before sex. Also, just some fair warnings: I do have my two cents and honest opinions. If you ask for my opinion about the sex, and get upset, remember: you asked. If you don’t want to hear my opinion, then don’t get angry when I don’t tell you. You want respect? Give it. I can be just as rude and nasty back. I’ve had years of practice from fuckheads like you. If you’re going to be a trashy, pitiful excuse for a sex partner, expect to ripped off. Oh and don’t send me dick pix. If I have to deal with your ugly old cocks, I’ll do it once it’s part of the job description.

He says he’s not looking for a dad or a grandpa, even though he asked me to be his several times.

I don’t know much about Rap, but he “rapped” everything he said, rhyming and very rhythmic, lots of hand gesturing and head cocking and so on, and he acted like I was a camera shooting him in a Rap music video, and bring a lot of amyl. He goes through amyl like you and I go through oxygen. But Christ he’s hot, and those creative tattoos he’s going to regret someday! You could auction him off at Sotheby’s and break Picasso’s record. Not an exaggeration!

Murray Melvin Day *

* (restored)

 

‘Tall, soulful-eyed British actor Murray Melvin had the look of a sensitive “punker” at a time when such youths were called “Teddy Boys.” Melvin received his training and first blush of prominence with the Theatre Workshop. In films since 1960, Melvin’s most conspicuous early assignment was as the sympathetic homosexual in 1962’s A Taste of Honey. Back in those days, a role of this nature was but one step away from flamboyance; Melvin took that one step, and has spent most of his career in extroverted, often outrageous roles.

‘Melvin left his North London secondary school at the age of fourteen unable to master fractions but as Head Prefect, a qualification he says he gained by always having clean fingernails and well combed hair. He started work as an office boy for a firm of Holiday Agents off Oxford Street To help channel the energies of the young after the disturbing times of the war, his parents had helped to found a youth club in Hampstead, financed by the Co-operative Society of which they were long standing members. A drama section formed with Murray its most enthusiastic member.

‘He attended evening classes at the nearby City Literary Institute and studied Drama, Mime and Classical Ballet. During an extended lunch-break from the Ministry, he applied to Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop company at the Theatre Royal Stratford East and auditioned on-stage singing and dancing for Joan Littlewood and Gerry Raffles. On being asked to create a character he knew from life he impersonated a rather rotund director of the Sports Board. Having ascertained that he had to return that afternoon to work for this character Joan Littlewood said to Gerry Raffles: “the poor little bugger, we must get him away from there”. And they did.

‘In October 1957 he became an assistant stage manager, theatre painter and general dogsbody to John Bury, the theatre designer, and he went on stage in his first professional role as the Queen’s Messenger in the then in-rehearsal production of Macbeth. He was cast as Geoffrey in Shelagh Delaney’s play, A Taste of Honey. In February 1959, A Taste of Honey opened at the Wyndham’s Theatre and transferred to the Criterion some six months later. It was the hit of the season. Murray Melvin went on to play his role of Geoffrey in the film of A Taste of Honey, directed by Tony Richardson, for which he won the Prix de Cannes as best actor at the Festival in 1962. He was also nominated for the BAFTA “Most Promising Newcomer” award.

‘The production attracted the interest of filmmakers, including Ken Russell and Lewis Gilbert. Murray Melvin became a member of what has often been called the Ken Russell Repertory Company, appearing in many of Russell’s most celebrated films, including The Devils and The Boy Friend. Lewis Gilbert cast Murray in H.M.S. Defiant (1962), alongside Dirk Bogarde, and in Alfie, where he played Michael Caine’s work friend, stealing petrol and taking photographs to sell to tourists.

‘Among Melvin’s more celebrated later roles, he played Reverend Samuel Runt in Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon (1975). He appeared in the Swinging Sixties comedy Smashing Time (1967), which also featured Bruce Lacey and his robots. Ken Russell had made a film about Lacey called The Preservation Man (1962). He co-starred with Russell regular Oliver Reed in Richard Fleischer’s film of The Prince and the Pauper Crossed Swords (1977) and in Alberto Lattuada’s lavish four-part television film Christopher Columbus (1985). Peter Medak cast Murray Melvin in five films: A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (1972), starring Alan Bates; Ghost in the Noonday Sun (1973, starring Peter Sellers); The Krays (1990); Let Him Have It (1991); and as Dr. Chilip in David Copperfield (2000).

‘In 2004 he appeared as Monsieur Reyer, the musical director and conductor of the Opera Populaire, in Joel Schumacher’s film adaptation of the musical The Phantom of the Opera. Working increasingly in television, he appeared very memorably as the sinister Bilis Manger in the Doctor Who spinoff, Torchwood. His later film appearances included Star Wars Episode VII and Fifty Shades of Grey.’ — collaged

Interview

 

Can I start by asking you how you became an actor?

Murray Melvin: I don’t know really, Dominic. How I did I become an actor? Now, Miss Littlewood would of course say, ‘You must never become an ‘Actor’, you must work against that.’. Well now, after the last War my mother and father helped to start a Youth Club. We lived in Hampstead in North London. The reason for starting the club was, I suppose, to get us all off the streets, and in… what in modern parlance would call ‘centred’. The club started a drama section and I became part of that, and we met every week. Now, the woman who ran the drama section was a Jess Harrison, and one week she announced that we would not rehearse the following week, that she was going to take us all to the theatre. She had read that there was a company that she had seen when she lived in Glasgow, they were called the Theatre Workshop, and this company had taken over a theatre at Stratford in East London. Now, she considered them to be the finest theatrical company in the country. So the following week we all met after work and took a long – for those days – long journey to the Theatre Royal in the East End of London.

The play we saw was Richard II, and Richard was played by Harry H. Corbett, who much later in life was to become Steptoe in that very famous series. Now, at the same time Richard II was being presented at the Old Vic with John Neville playing Richard. Now, Stratford was run on a shoestring, so there were no long golden cloaks, no long fanfares, no great long processionals coming on stage – just raw Elizabethan language. And you were on the edge of the seat the whole evening. Elizabethan language spoken on the moment, rather than on the breath. I considered that to be the first time I had seen real theatre. It was gobsmacking.

Now, we were taken back the next year to see Edward II. That was done on a sloping ramp, the width of the stage. Oh, now, I had never seen that before and neither had many other people. Designed – as was Richard – by the Theatre’s then resident designer John Bury, who went on to work at the National Theatre. A sloping ramp with a map of England painted on it, so when Edward was centre stage he was standing in the centre of his England. Oh, it was wonderful!

Now, I am going back to… what? ’55 – ’56, and I’ve yet to see a classical production that comes up to either of those. And that’s what made me determined to try and get myself to that theatre, and about two years later I succeeded. I obtained a grant to study for a year, and I got my place in a drama school – that old chicken and egg, it still happens doesn’t it? You get a grant if you’ve got a place in a drama school, you’ve got a place in a drama school if you’ve got a grant.

Who did you get the grant from?

MM: Guildhall School. But having got both, I then trotted out to Stratford East and said, ‘Well, I’ve got a grant.’ And so for a year… ‘So if you would take me on as a student, you’d get me free for a year.’ Oh, I was in! [Laughs] Poverty stricken – I was in… Gerry Raffles took me in, that’s right. And of course, I went as the dogsbody! I mean, I really was the dogsbody – making the tea, sweeping the stage, all that old stuff. And also I was an extra hand to John Bury in making sets. I mean, I did everything. It was very rough and very basic but… I mean, I could go on for hours about that work, doing drains and painting the foyer and all that stuff, but that’s what I did.

I wondered if you could give us a sense of your perspective of what the 1950’s were like as a decade?

MM: Oh bloody awful! Well, the early fifties. The breakthrough started in middle fifties. I mean, when did the Beatles start? I mean pop groups start? It was…?

Around about ’63.

MM: You see, that was late! It was late! The Twist – it was the Twist that was the breakthrough, and that came over from France, like a lot of other good things. That’s before Bill Haley and Rock Around the Clock, it was the Twist that was the start. Oh wonderful Twist – I never stopped! Before that you had a formalised society, you’d got a class society. We’ve gone back to it now in some ways. But you had ‘class’.

I was thrown out of school at the age of 14 because I refused to learn. What they actually meant was, I was bored with ‘two times two’ and all that. I mean urgh got over that. But I’d had been out on the… we all had, of my generation, we’d been out on the streets for far too long – so no formal education. If I had no education and no money, I had no way of getting into drama school. Can you get into a drama school these days without a certificate? No? Yes? Dodgy, dodgy! No, it’s terrible isn’t it? What have certificates to do with imagination?

So, the fifties. You had a society, very formal, very stiff, very boring. London… there was one coffee house just off Shaftesbury Avenue – it’s where Tommy Steele started! – oh what is it called…? No, it’s too long ago! But that coffee house allowed young musicians to strut their stuff, but that was it! Pubs – the meeting houses of the time – closed at ten thirty! There was a coffee shop at the top of Drury Lane that was open until ten – Cor! That was daring! Now, there was a life after ten thirty of course, but by God you had to have money! Remember, at that time you could only drink after ten thirty if you had food. I mean, it’s a world away really isn’t it – I can’t believe I got through it all!

The conditions in the mills in Lancashire and Manchester, I mean, it was so appalling. Oh my goodness me! You know, those young girls on those huge machines, coping with those threads, getting their fingers and their hair caught under the machinery. Oh, I mean it must have been ghastly!

Joseph Losey Concrete Jungle (1960)
‘Joseph Losey’s 1960 picture The Criminal (released in the US two years later under the rather misleading title The Concrete Jungle) is an example of a film noir made in Britain with genuine fidelity to the conventions of the genre, although with some updating—it’s more lurid and more sexually explicit than earlier American examples of the genre—that brings it closer to the spirit of the then-emerging Swinging Sixties. Losey was, of course, actually an American with previous experience directing Hollywood noirs (M, The Prowler, The Big Night), a refugee from the film industry witch hunts of the early fifties. Relocating to Britain and working at first under various pseudonyms, he continued his film directing career as an expatriate until his death in 1984.’ — The Movie Projector

Tony Richardson A Taste of Honey (1961)
A Taste of Honey (1961), directed by Tony Richardson, is a key example in the cinema of the Angry Young Men, as it was called. Although time may have blunted the impact of its taboo-busting issues, 46 years on, it’s no less flavorful for its powerful performances, most notably Rita Tushingham in her breakout role as Jo, through whose wide, expressive eyes we see a grim world of mean expectations. The film version of Shelagh Delaney’s 1958 play, the film tells the tale of Jo, a plain high school girl in Manchester, who lives with her single mother, Helen, a tarty, rent-skipping pub singer (a brilliant portrayal by Dora Bryan). After Jo spends the night with a black sailor and gets pregnant, her mother decides to marry a man she’s just met who promises a new life in the suburbs – without her difficult and acid-tongued daughter. With nowhere left to go, Jo moves into a shabby flat and soon forms a relationship with a young gay man, Geoffrey (Murray Melvin), who works with her at a shoe store. Rita Tushingham and Murray Melvin both won acting awards for their roles in A Taste of Honey at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival.’ — cinemaretro.com

Lewis Gilbert Damn the Defiant! (1962)
Damn the Defiant! is an 18th-century seafaring drama from director Lewis Gilbert. Alec Guinness plays the stern but compassionate captain of a British warship, engaged in the Napoleonic wars. Guinness is popular with his men, which is more than can be said for his new second-in-command Dirk Bogarde. When Guinness tries to modify Bogarde’s sadistic adherence to discipline, Bogarde responds by mistreating Guinness’ cabin-boy son, knowing that the captain cannot intervene under the edicts of British maritime law. During an incipient mutiny, Bogarde is accidently killed, and Guinness knows that the crewmen responsible must hang once they reach shore. But after these same men perform courageously in battle, Guinness suffers a crisis of conscience: How can he condemn these fearlessly patriotic men to death, as he knows he must? Based on the novel Mutiny by Frank Tilsley.’ — Hal Erickson, Rovi

Lewis Gilbert Alfie (1966)
Alfie tells the story of a young womanizer (Michael Caine) who leads a self-centred life, purely for his own enjoyment, until events force him to question his uncaring behaviour and his loneliness. He cheats on numerous women, and despite his charm towards women, he treats them with disrespect and refers to them as “it”, using them for sex and for domestic purposes. Alfie frequently breaks the fourth wall by speaking directly to the camera narrating and justifying his actions. His words often contrast with or totally contradict his actions. This was the first film to receive the “suggested for mature audiences” classification by the Motion Picture Association of America in the United States, which evolved into the modern PG rating.’ — collaged

Jack Smight Kaleidoscope (1966)
‘A kaleidoscope? That’s a plaything you look into, as you look into a telescope, and see bits of colored glass or other objects within its range of observation fall into assorted symmetrical patterns as you rotate it. The optical effects are fascinating and amusing for a while—for as long as you care to be diverted by the pretty designs—nothing more. That might also serve as a description of the film called Kaleidoscope. What’s nice about the movie is that (1) Murray Melvin kicks ass, blowing holes in bad guys with sociopathic serenity, and (2) Warren Beatty is shown to be less effective at action movie stuff than the slender, wispy-haired poof. In its way, Kaleidoscope is one of the most progressive films of its time, because it casts a gay actor when it doesn’t need to, allows the audience to read him as gay, makes no comment about this, and has him do things which are markedly counter-stereotype — ultimately saving the hero and heroine from certain death.’ — collaged

Desmond Davies Smashing Time (1967)
‘Brought to our screens by Carlo Ponti, a man who had lent his production muscle to La Strada, Dr Zhivago and Blow Up in preceding years, Smashing Time is an aptly named if somewhat less high-minded motion picture that follows the fortunes of Rita Tushingham and Lynn Redgrave as Brenda and Yvonne, two naïve Bradford lasses who arrive in London in search of fame, fortune and scenes that a-swing like a pendulum do, but who swiftly find themselves lost in a wondrous dreamworld of high camp slapstick carnage, incorporating sleazy nightclubs, pop stardom, lecherous toffs, rampaging robots, ill-judged cat outfits, several marathon food fights and a Salvation Army preacher being run down by an out of control steamroller. Having moved to London under broadly similar circumstances myself a few years back, I can confirm that this is still a more or less accurate picture of life for the newcomer in our nation’s capital.’ — Breakfast in the Ruins

John Frankenheimer The Fixer (1968)
‘In The Fixer, Frankenheimer and Dalton Trumbo, the writer, have missed no opportunity to give us speeches telling us what is happening and what it all means. The victim (played with great sensitivity by Alan Bates) is not only a Christ figure, but even says he is. He makes a little speech to his guard about love and brotherhood. The representatives of the czar likewise make speeches about their own motives. The prisoner’s bravery and heroism are liberally commented on. The significance of anti-Semitism in human affairs is analyzed. And at the end, we are given that terribly inappropriate little speech, just to make sure we didn’t miss the point. It’s a sort of mid-cult “Dragnet” conclusion, telling the audience how the case turned out. But what were needed were fewer self-conscious humanistic speeches, less articulate nobility, and more of the real experience.’ — Roger Ebert

_______________
Bud Yorkin Start the Revolution Without Me (1970)
‘It’s impossible to dislike any movie that starts with Orson Welles (at his Paul Masson wine-commercial most faux pretentious) lying his head off about a supposedly newly discovered historical event that could have prevented the French Revolution, only to sourly conclude that “men of integrity — and I may say of considerable resources — have made a film on the subject. It’s a color film, which I am not in.” That sets the tone for Start the Revolution Without Me, a 1970 film that has drifted into the realm of a cult classic (in other words, it lost money on its original release and was later discovered by rabid fans). The film tries — perhaps too hard — to maintain this same tone throughout its length as it sends up the novels of Alexandre Dumas, Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities and just about every swashbuckler you care to name (the credits are presented partly over scenes of John Barrymore in Don Juan). Presenting Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland as two sets of twins — mismatched at birth by an addled doctor when a peasant woman and a noble woman go into labor simultaneously — Revolution gallops along at breakneck speed in a frenzied attempt to keep the viewer from noticing its shortcomings.’ — Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress

______________
Ken Russell The Devils (1971)
The Devils is a film that is both narratively and thematically complex. Russell wrote the film’s often quite brilliant screenplay, and he is dealing with weighty themes of faith, politics, sexuality, and the necessity of the separation of church and state. Now if that sounds dry, the director’s approach and style is anything but. The filmmaking is bombastic. Russell on top form could be a brilliant director, but no one has ever accused him of subtlety. Here he utilises a scores of filmmaking tricks, repetitive crash zooms, dream sequences, a shrieking atonal score, all to create a derangement of the senses building to a shocking crescendo of sexual abandonment and torture in the final act.’ — Fright Fest

______________
Ken Russell The Boy Friend (1971)
‘As a change of pace Russell did a lighter piece, The Boyfriend, in 1971. This was a commercial failure. Rather than film the musical The Boy Friend, Russell made the film about the making of the musical. When the star of a show breaks a leg, the newcomer, Twiggy, has to take her place. A major film director comes to look at the show as a possible new film. The film was badly cut by the studio before release. Russell himself says (The Lion Roars) “but twelve reels are too long to tell such a slim tale, and Sandy Wilson’s music, however tuneful, has diminishing returns, as one pastiche Twenties number follows another”. The imagery however is stunning.’ — Iain Fisher

Peter Medak A Day in the Death of Joe Egg (1972)
‘Adapted by Peter Nichols from his own play, A DAY IN THE DEATH OF JOE EGG is a British tragi-comedy that was directed by Peter Medak and originally released in May 1972, although it had been shot two years earlier. It stars Alan Bates, Janet Suzman, Peter Bowles, Sheila Gish, Joan Hickson and Elizabeth Robillard. It tells the story of Brian and Sheila, an ordinary middle-class couple who happen to have a daughter with cerebral palsy, a condition which has rendered her a vegetable. As you might expect, given its stage origins, it is a very theatrical film by which I mean wordy, non-naturalistic, and largely confined to one or two sets. It’s also warm, funny, humane and ultimately very moving. I should also mention everyone’s favourite oddball Murray Melvin, a favourite of the late great Ken Russell, who has a role as a doctor.’ — Cinema Delirium

_________________
Stanley Kubrick Barry Lyndon (1975)
‘The most persistent criticism of Stanley Kubrick was that he was a chilly filmmaker, one with little interest in, or feeling for, human beings. But Barry Lyndon challenges that view. For many, this is the only one of Kubrick’s mature films with any kind of emotional charge and it’s certainly the most sensual that this most clinical of filmmakers ever made. And yet, it is also the most detached film Kubrick made; the action is often simply posed, with relevant information relayed to us by an omniscient narrator, usually with scant regard for any dramatic niceties. How is it that so many people can find such a film so moving? The first thing to note is how ironic it is. Although Kubrick never stresses the humour, he’s certainly aware of of the absurdities; the strutting figure of John Quinn, the English officer (Leonard Rossiter, quite the contrast to Ryan O’Neal) who steals Barry’s first love or the bizarre Reverent Runt, chaplin to Lady Lyndon (played by that wonderful actor Murray Melvin), secretly in love with his mistress.’ — Film Club #8

Peter Hunt Shout at the Devil (1976)
‘Critic Richard Eder did not like the film much. He wrote, “The movie has too much plot. All that action, conducted by characters without character—except for Fleischer, whose childlike joy in hurting people is almost appealing—produces lethargy…the movie is a passable midget in absurdly long pants.” PopMatters journalist J.C. Maçek III wrote “Shout at the Devil can be every bit as farcical as any of Roger Moore’s James Bond films, and Lee Marvin’s characterization of O’Flynn is every bit as absurdly fun as anything he did in Cat Ballou or Paint Your Wagon, but at the flip of an invisible switch both Shout at the Devil and its stars take a turn for the incredibly dark.” Film critic Roger Ebert thought that “Shout at the Devil is a big, dumb, silly movie that’s impossible to dislike. It’s so cheerfully corny, so willing to involve its heroes in every possible predicament, that after a while we relax: This is the kind of movie they used to make, back when audiences were supposed to have the mentality of a 12-year-old. It’s great to be 12 again.”‘ — collaged

Christine Edzard Little Dorrit (1988)
‘Little Dorrit is a six-hour epic in two parts, with 242 speaking roles, and yet it was crafted almost by hand. The director, Christine Edzard, and the co-producer, her husband, Richard Goodwin, live and work in a converted warehouse in London’s dockland. When they are not making films, they manufacture dollhouses. They built the sets for this film inside their warehouse, they sewed all of the costumes on premises, they used their dollhouse skills to build miniature models that are combined with special effects to create a backdrop of Victorian London. And to their studio by the side of the Thames, they lured such actors as Alec Guinness, Derek Jacobi, Cyril Cusack, Murray Melvin, and Joan Greenwood to appear in a film that was made mostly out of the love of Charles Dickens.’ — Roger Ebert

______________
Peter Medak The Krays (1990)
‘There’s an echo of Leopold and Loeb in the saga of the Kray brothers — symbiotic criminals who, in their twinship, found a horrific strength and power. Yet The Krays is far from a knockout gangster movie. Opting for an ”impressionistic” approach, veteran director Peter Medak (The Ruling Class) mixes horror and garish comedy without really evoking the drama of the Krays’ story. His absurdist touch works well in the scenes with the brothers and their blustery mum (Billie Whitelaw), to whom they’re devoted; the two men are like latter-day versions of James Cagney’s mother-fixated Cody Jarrett in White Heat. But we never get any sense of how the brothers build their empire, or of how the various supporting characters fit into their lives. Telling this story in a more straightforward fashion would have been far more satisfying. Still, the Kemps are something to see.’ — Entertainment Weekly

Joel Schumacher The Phantom of the Opera (2004)
‘Not vulgar enough. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s horror operetta looks expensive, but it’s been filmed without decadent atmosphere or visual flow. Emmy Rossum has an unforced sweetness, but Gerard Butler, as the Phantom, sings like a Meat Loaf stuffed with too much garlic. The film takes everything that’s wrong with Broadway and puts it on the big screen in a gaudy splat. The plot is impressively free of anything that does not smell of unpasteurized melodrama. Joel Schumacher’s film adaptation of Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera combines fingernails-on-blackboard audio agony with bamboo-under-fingernails physical torture. Most audiences will either fall asleep or hit the cinema doors running.’ — collaged

James Gray The Lost City of Z (2016)
‘“I’ve been through certain versions of hell,” responds James Gray when I ask him about the difficulties he and a bunch of dedicated and wildly ambitious actors faced when they charged into the jungle to make The Lost City of Z. He admits that it was both a physical and psychological hell to shoot his adaptation of David Grann’s nonfiction bestseller in the depths of the Amazon, in conditions not unlike those that early-20th-century explorer Percy Fawcett faced when he traveled to the South American jungle in search of a fabled civilization. But it was worth the sacrifice, because the American auteur feels he succeeded at conveying Fawcett’s drive toward transcendence—what Slant’s Ed Gonzalez described as his “mind being freed from the shackles of obsession.”’ — Slant Magazine
