Site Info

Webmaster: Richard McGlashan (RM)
Hello. My name is Rich, and I'm the person to blame for this site's existence. I like films.
I'll watch pretty much anything, but I'm not really a fan of romantic comedies in general. Or silent Soviet montage cinema from the 1920s, which obviously makes me a philistine.
Just so you know, that picture to the left is not me. It's Bruce Campbell. Because he's ace.
I started this website because I enjoy writing film reviews and I thought I might as well put them online for others to read.
I'm currently a student at the University of Manchester taking an MA in Screen Studies. So in my study time I watch films. In my free time I also watch films. Yay. Despite the fact that I am a film student, I have a soft spot for big, dumb Hollywood films.
I couldn't tell you my number 1 favourite film, but some of my favourites are
Gladiator,
The Lord of the Rings trilogy,
The Empire Strikes Back,
Apocalypse Now,
Blade Runner,
Saving Private Ryan,
The Godfather and
Back to the Future, to name but a few.
Some day I plan to win the lottery and an Oscar, but probably not at the same time.
I have much more important things to be working on than this website.
My reviewing philosophy: The reviews I write are meant to be no-nonsense, to the point and most importantly, my own personal opinion. They are not academic essays, and I try to avoid long-winded, waffly language as much as possible. Hopefully the reviews are informative while still being easy to read and understand. Any questions/comments are welcome!
P.S. Please don't laugh at me for using Geocities.

Joel (AKA "The Nature Boy") is a regular cinema and DVD reviewer for the site. While we do agree about many films, our opinions regularly differ so do not necessarily read one of Joel's reviews as reflective of my own thoughts! He cites
The Godfather as his favourite film, and is an aficionado of 1970s Hollywood and the work of Martin Scorsese.
