...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. The film was controversial not only because of the media's perception of this as a gay film, but by some people pointing out that the characters were actually bisexual rather than gay, as they were both married. It's a thought provoking film in that it makes you realise, whether you're ... Read review

Cle Shaheed Sloan, the gang technical advisor of Training Day, managed to get on screen real-life gang members from Rollin' 60 Crips, PJ Watts Crips and B.P.Stones Bloods. The soundtrack is excellent and fit's perfectly in with the decorum of the film, with mostly hip-hop tracks. Movie ... Read review

...then look no further than The English Patient. I bought the English Patient on DVD at Sainsbury's a few weeks ago. I had just finished the book and thought I'd quite like to see what the film was like. I purchased it in a 3 for £30 deal. The book I read because it's on my Booker Prize winners list that I'm slowly working my way through this year. I have to be honest, although I liked the idea of it, I didn't enjoy it very much and had to force myself ...
...would like to re-read the book just to see how the director Anthony Minghella managed to create such a masterpiece from the same story I found dull on the page.
