How film magazines should be

Wednesday September 23rd 2009

This month’s issue of Vice magazine is ‘A Film Issue’. As far as I’m aware, this is the first time they’ve had a film-specific issue (in a while at least) and they’ve only gone and blown every other monthly movie publication out of the bloody water.

Featuring major (and actually interesting) interviews with practically every international director worth mentioning at the moment, as well as ‘alternative’ features that aren’t incredibly dull (I’m looking at you, Little White Lies), it makes Empire look as shit as Total Film.

And it’s free, obviously.

I have hyped this up too much. Sorry.
