This is the British Film Industry at work. I am involved in the creation of a film. A chance that has luckily came along and is giving me a new experience. Of course, you will not of heard of me nor the writer of the script, infact the chances of even knowing a single person involved in its binging to exsistence is slim. I do assure though, we do not have another disaster of a British film on its way, such as the last travesty. This script is good, brilliant and a storyline not seen by the British film industry before. Now, Im not here to promote this film in the making, but more to reflect upon this particular stage. So far a script has been created and edited ...  Read the complete review

Modern day blockbusters are SO infuriating ! In fact, most of them are a complete insult not just to film fans but to anyone with the half brain which Hollywood screenwriters and executives seem to think that audiences are missing. Why ? The utter lack of any effort which seems to go into the script and story of almost all big budget films coming out these days. Every summer I look at the list of films coming out, and every time I get suckered in.....interesting ideas diluted and ruined again and again and again... I'm sure that this isn't exactly news to anyone who's been to the cinema in recent times (especially this summer) but still, my ...  Read the complete review

Recent success within our own film industry has lead to critical acclaim for many films that in my opinion are not in the spirit of a traditional British film. Ok so movies like Notting Hill and four weddings have made millions at the box office but only as a result have having American backers and famous American actresses in starring roles. A certain amount of Guy Ritche’s success has been helped along by people based in the states like Sting for instance. Quality British film makers are still given a rough deal, mainly by poor distribution deals. Having recently subscribed to film four I have been able to watch again some of the classic films ...  Read the complete review

The film business is always harping on about how much the pirate business damages the future release of new films. I find this so hard to believe, when a film costs 100 million dollars to make, then takes double that in the cinemas in US alone. Do the math, Yes only a small profit. Then there are profits from other countries and of course the release on Video/DVD. The classic is "The Phantom Menace". First it makes a huge profit in the cinema. Then it is released on video. But it is not released on DVD, why? The answer to that question is why sell your product once when you can sell it twice. The DVD is not due to be released until the other 2 prequels ...  Read the complete review

I thought going to the cinema or watching a film at home was supposed to be a pleasurable experience, however there is one hobby that appears to be on the increase. Spotting incontinuity and other errors throughout a film! As much as this may not be a new hobby, there are more and more people who will find as many errors as possible. Websites that list all errors found and viewers sitting through films repeatedly to find that one error that no-one else has spotted yet. The most recent occurrence of this phenomenon was at the release of the Spiderman film. I think at the last count there were in excess of 277 inaccuracies found. However, I do have ...  Read the complete review
