BlackSwan's Profile

 

About this Member

07.10.11: Nice to see my 29th crown was awarded for my review of "The Elephant Man". This review of a film that is visually brilliant but seriously flawed in other ways, is perhaps my most heartfelt. Thanks for all those Dooyers you saw my point of view and added their support.

09.02.11: After a lengthy hiatus I am back! I promise to get round to returning ratings. The books I read last year were largely brilliant and movies were generally mediocre. This year's viewing appears to be better.

On Twitter I am "ClubbChimera". On Dooyoo I am "Black Swan". On Helium I am "Beelzebub's Broker".

I wrote and presented a successful DVD series "Cross Training in the Martial Arts" Part 1 and 2. I also wrote an historical book, "The Legend of Salt and Sauce". These are all available on Amazon and you can review them on here.
