The frustration I feel from watching this film is steaming off of me. This film is basically Parent Trap but with actual twins and far less talented ones at that. Lindsey Lohan was able to play an American and a British version of herself for the Parent Trap and blew Mary-Kate and Ashley out of the park - literal twins. This film was predictable from the beginning and it was kind of frustrating. It seems like the off-brand you buy at the store because name brands are too expensive and not always worth it. In this case, I'd take the name brand any day.

I really enjoyed this series which has a different twist on the Headless horseman tale. Plenty of Action scenes, fights, magic and flash backs to the War with the British. I was impressed with the overall look and feel of the series. The effects for the headless horseman are up there with the film. A mix of the film with a Buffy, Supernatural vibe.

Kes (1969)
1969 | Drama

"I’m a sucker for films of the “boy/girl and his/her dog (lion/bear/whatever)” variety. I love gritty British kitchen-sink dramas of the sixties. I love a good angry-kid coming-of-age film. Kes has it all, minus the sentimentality and anthropomorphism of so many animal films. My heart aches for the kid and his bird—I just want their companionship, his only form of stability, to last forever. Fantastic, bittersweet score by John Cameron. My favorite Ken Loach film. "

Classic drama from Powell and Pressburger. The life of a British army officer throughout the first part of the 20th century is explored, particularly his friendship with his German counterpart and the women he loves (all played by Deborah Kerr).

Typically inventive and imaginative stuff from the Archers, with bold and witty transitions across time and space, moving depictions of romance and friendship, and an understanding that you can deal with serious topics while remaining playful and creative. Terrific performances and direction: acknowledged as an influence by Scorsese and (less predictably) Tarantino. Churchill tried to have the production of the film halted, feeling it was unpatriotic, but as well as being one of the greatest British movies of all time, it is also one of the finest films about what it means to be British.

A great horror
This is probably one of my all time favourite horror films. I find most horrors a little tame and predictable, but this truly scared me. Especially originally watching it at the cinema! As with Dog Soldiers, Neil Marshall does a great job with a mostly British cast, creating a tense and terrifying film. And I loved the ending.
