Midweek Mention... CB4

CB4 is a fictional gangster rap group and the subject of this 1993 mocumentary. This movie was uncharted territory for Reegs and Sidey. For Pete this was one of those tricky films. You remember it being brilliant, but you're ...

Wrath of Man & Lego Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu

Midweek Mention... Stand By Me

Hustlers & Teletubbies

This week sees us paying homage to the montage and though it's really an editing technique if you want to be pedantic about it which I do, they're a useful tool in the screenwriters arsenal too, perhaps being used to propel t...
