...mild porn. That said, Brokeback Mountain wasn't a film that is known for its realism - I mean, one spit and you're in? (think about it guys) I don't think so darling.

...Arabia is definitely one of those moments. The setting for my first viewing was a huge tent at Trecco Bay, a large caravan park, in Porthcawl, South Wales where I was on holiday with my family. The floor was bare sand, which added to the atmosphere created by the film, and I was about 11 or 13. The experience was magical and intense, without any full understanding of the artistry involved. Maturity brought the knowledge of why this was such a ... Read review
