The great British seaside holiday started in the 18th century when the wealthy and well connected decided that “taking the waters” in spa towns such as Bath, Buxton, and Knaresborough was getting too boring and decided to move to the coast.

Indie Documentary Review – Tramps!

Indie Movie Review – The Price We Pay
—
There are some films which have an ending that is obvious from the first few minutes. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing though! For instance, I defy anyone to watch the first ten minutes of Strictly Ballroom and not be able to say how it will finish but that doesn’t stop it from having a…

It’s funny how things work out sometimes. One of my sources of films to review is the dynamic duo at Aim Publicity…I know them as Deb and Polly. The other day I was sent a screener for a film called End Of Term with a note that included… “I’m just sending over a screener for…
