Default Clockwork Orange BluRay & DVD pure bliss






Banned in UK Cinemas
after it came out
which shocked the Director.


"The controversy that surrounded Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Anthony Burgess's dystopian novel A Clockwork Orange while the film was out of circulation suggested that it was like Romper Stomper: a glamourisation of the violent, virile lifestyle of its teenage protagonist, with a hypocritical gloss of condemnation to mask delight in rape and ultra-violence. Actually, it is as fable-like and abstract as The Pilgrim's Progress, with characters deliberately played as goonish sitcom creations. The anarchic rampage of Alex (Malcolm McDowell), a bowler-hatted juvenile delinquent of the future, is all over at the end of the first act. Apprehended by equally brutal authorities, he changes from defiant thug to cringing bootlicker, volunteering for a behaviourist experiment that removes his capacity to do evil."


10 Outta 10 movie.


Ideal for Judas, Shaun and Dezzy.



Feel The Force.

I hate everything about this film! I was actually quite disappointed after I saw it as I had expected something great!

It gets tedious. It's a great show but I couldn't handle it on repeat viewings.

Maybe, for me, any film is better?

And no, I'm not too keen on Disney either.. except Mary Poppins
