There are certain reviewers out there whose style it is to go through plot points when talking about a project. Telling some of the story as they entice a potential audience. I’ve always avoided storyline articles, not for any specific reason other than I enjoy watching a film ‘cold’, knowing very little about it other…
Seven episodes in and FromPage2Scream:The Horror Show is going strong and teaching us new things. Doing the show with such die hard horror fans as Lauren Rebecca Reid and Stu Miller is so much fun and is teaching me about horror films that I hadnt even heard of before. Whilst all episodes are great, episode…
VHS, Cinema, DVD, Blu Ray, Netflix and at one point. Lovefilm (which is now Amazon Instant). Those have always been the main formats I used to watch whatever film I decided to spend some time with. Over the past couple of years, I have watched only a small amount of films using ‘online screeners’ or…
Ive pondered over these words Im about to type for over a day now. What do I write, what dont I write, do I write anything at all? Here goes. Earlier in the week I was (re)watching the Tony Scott classic film The Last Boy Scout (yes its a classic) and thought to myself “why…

One thing I found when I started focusing more on UK movies than previously I used to, was that there are a ton of awesome independent UK movies and a ton of awesome independent UK film makers out there. They arent on the payrolls of studios, they dont live in mansions and dont go to…

Its that time of week again where I wave the flag for one of the most powerful films that I have seen. 2006’s London to Brighton by Paul Andrew Williams. But I am not going to be talking about Paul other than this mention, this article is to tell you about another one of the…
The cover art describes the film as ‘The Krays meets Reservoir Dogs”. I can see why that comparison is made and why Entertainment in Video decided to place that tag line on the cover of this 1996 film. Originally I thought this was a bad tagline, but as the film went on I thought ‘fair…
The 6 Degrees of Separation with Writer/Director Paul Tanter (White Collar Hooligan 2 :England Away, He Who Dares) Crikey. It works.

Inspired by the people that help the homeless and dedicated to the homeless of the UK. This film will tackle the issues that are swept under the carpet and it won’t be a romantic comedy or blood fest and it doesn’t contain one single gangster but the cold hard truth about some of the UK’s…
As the launch week of my most anticipated British film of recent times (White Collar Hooligan 2:England Away) continues. So do my ramblings about the film and its cast. Earlier in the week, I wrote about Rita Ramnani who plays Katie in the film. In this ‘article’ I am going to focus on the wonderful…
Never mind Avengers Assemble, How about Zombie Extras Assemble So it seems the undead are very much alive especially when it comes to the amount of UK films and TV programmes that are zombie related at the moment, With ‘Being Human’, ’28 Days Later’ ‘In the Flesh’, ‘Shaun of the Dead’ and the awesome ‘Cockneys vs…

As I clicked the ‘upload’ button on my thoughts about White Collar Hooligan 2:England Away, I decided that I would write a few more articles (I still hate classing my thoughts as articles, but hey ho) on some of the people connected with the film. They are in no specific order and are just going…
May 2012, I started seeing Tweets and interviews online about a film that in all honesty I hadn’t heard of., It starred people that I wasn’t familiar with and was written, directed and made by names I wasn’t familiar with. That should reflect anything on the people I speak of. It was more the fact…
As part of my birthday, I decided that I would catch up on the small pile of films that I havent seen before. Also with the fact my main focus is on the UK grown films, today I have decided to watch films from 12 noon til midnight. The second film that I have seen…

White Collar Hooligan follows Mike Jacobs (played by Nick Nevern) who gets himself…
Im guessing many years ago, actors (and other filmcrew) had showreels done on VHS, perhaps before then they were done in Super 8 or some format. Nowadays its all online which makes it far easier to send showreels around and attract new projects to their front door. Lately I have found myself browsing the internet…

One of the three films that caused me to begin talking more about British movies than I previously had been was Rise & Fall Of A White Collar Hooligan. A film that I took from a recommendation from that movie I discovered a heap of talent that I have kept an eye on ever since. I…
Britain do several things wonderfully. One of those things is television drama and one of the most recent shows I watched was The Fades. Not heard of it? Doesnt surprise me as it was underadvertised. At least I dont recall seeing too much about it when it aired in 2011. Thankfully its out on DVD…
Many years ago. I saw a wonderful film called “Whistle Down The Wind”. Made in 1961, I first saw this film in the late 1980s on a TV broadcast Telling the story of an escaped convict, found in a barn by children who mistake the runaway (played by Alan Bates) for Jesus. Lovely film, happy…
