A British film that actually got recognition (0 more)

Poor Milky (0 more)

British classic

Unless it's a comedy, British films often don't get the recognition they deserve. This did. Friends in the State's were messeging me saying they have seen it.

The unscripted acting was warm when it needed to be and tense when it needed to be. It shine a light on Thatcher's Britain, divided and angry, a but like today. It's not always easy to watch but at the same time there is recognition of anyone who lived through this period.

So good it spawned a TV series, This Is England is one of Britain's best.

Not too bad

I remember reading horrible histories when i was in school, i have never watched the tv series though so wasn't sure what to expect. At first i thought it was incredibly cheesy, it was like watching a pantomime. But like being at a pantomime i eventually got into the storyline and found the songs catchy, there was a few famous faces including kim cattrall and warwick davies.
It wasn't too bad a film but i feel it could have been so much better aimed at adults rather than family.

Great story line

CRAP SEX (0 more)

This one is written from a different brothers perspective and he is much more likeable I think. I am so gripped with the storyline that I hope that it doesn't fall flat! I am putting up with all these crap sex scenes just to find out what happens in the end!
All these books seem to cut off at the end too, I understand that you need to leave a slight cliff hanger to encourage the reader to continue the series but this is more like a TV episode than a full book
