Two
quality papers with a vociferous readership. Recently won best newspaper website.
Their film critics are the very influential Peter Bradshaw and Philip French. | |
This
newspaper tries very hard and the website is very pleasing | |
The
disappearance of Alexander Walker and all those London evening papers (Star and
News) leaves a paucity of relevant film critics. Fortunately you can read Derek
Malcolm. | |
Addressed
to the US city's moviegoers this page makes very interesting reading for our provincial
(!) audience. | |
A
slightly gossipy look at the Hollywood scene. But bang up to date on movie politics,
production and all the new and established people around town. |

The
magazine of choice. Be careful of the synopses if you don't want the COMPLETE
PLOT. | |
A great read,
full of stuff. Lasts the month. Warns if the article gives away too much plot. | |
Definitely
worth a look for the opinions of young filmgoers. |

the Lake District why not consider arranging your dates to include seeing a movie? | |

This
is a very fine if quirky reference site | |
By far the most comprehensive site, good threads arguably the best and most varied. It is the only site Ive found that gives the original foreign-language title as the default, even when your search string is in English.
Interesting stuff on the production quality (or not) of DVD releases; importantly, on the differences in DVD content for a given title. By Kevin, BFS Committee Member | |
Screen
South is the film and media agency for the South East of England. They aim to
be a resource that helps people get their ideas off the ground, whether they want
to make a short film, learn how to write successful scripts, set up a film festival
or shoot a major movie here. They promote talent, preserve our film heritage and
find ways of presenting exciting film to new audiences. | |
A
helpful site. The British Board of Film Censors (BBFC) provide a guide to film
classification. | |

collect, preserve, provide access to and promote screen material related to the

PLEASE
FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. I APPRECIATE INPUT.
ANYTHING AS LONG AS IT CONCERNS
THE MOVIES.
As an example a particular hobbyhorse of mine concerns talking heads who reveal plot situations. They give the impression that they have no concern for the people who made the film or their audience. One such spoiler on BBC Radio 4 managed to blurt out the ending of Clint Eastwood's film 'Changeling' with Angelina Jolie. I know Hamlet dies but maybe a particular director intends that he doesn't! |
