Hello! It’s that time again – the obligatory end of year list-athon (I’m aware this sentence in itself is also cliche). I thought this year it I’d be a bit more old school and also fair in my end of year recommendations. In previous years, I’ve listed the best seen and that found that most … Continue reading
BORN IN FLAMES (1983)/ Dir. Lizzie Borden (US) PREVENGE (2016)/ Dir. Alice Lowe (UK) Alice Lowe – how I do covet a friendship with thee. What mind must a person have who writes, directs and stars in a luridly violent revenge horror/commentary on antenatal depression, with such merciless black humour and glee? The mind of … Continue reading
The Baftas are on tonight! And I feel a little bit warmer towards them than I do the Oscars (I will explain my reasoning next week), so here’s a quick round-up of nominations. I’ve selected in Pink who MIGHT win and GREEN for who I would like to win because it’s all about me and … Continue reading

I watch A LOT of film and I’ve started to get back into TV, theatre and books again. I’ve basically become an Arts junkie. My first and main love is film as you all see, … Continue reading
I’m going to make this review relatively short (ha-ha – I don’t think I’m even capable). I actually saw Beware of Mr Baker before Gatsby with the full intention of only reviewing the latter; however after experiencing the same immense disappointment and the dreaded ‘B’ word (boredom) I thought about how these two films in … Continue reading
Little back story. Back last year while working for a small film festival, our small team embarked on a doomed project to obtain Mama Africa for our Opening night film. Alas it seems we needed this pesky thing called money, which we didn’t have enough of to screen this important film. It was a bitter … Continue reading
