Hallo Chaps!

Welcome to our blogs. On the left sidebar you’ll see a bunch of ‘em – from Ben and Chris writing about their film-making lives and film-making in general, through our resident film genius Adam who will answer any question you may have about movies, via the Underground Book Review which reviews books as read over the shoulder of someone on the tube and the Poetry Page where the world generously sends us their haikus and heartfelt rhymes…

World Cinema.

By imagining we are locked in an entirely fictional battle with Hollywood we turn ourselves into the drunk outside the tube, still trading blows with an opponent who was never there.
