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.

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 I’ve 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 |

South East of England. Established in 1992 at the University of Brighton
as the South East Film & Video Archive, the function of this regional
screen archive is to locate, collect, preserve, provide access to and
promote screen material related to the South East and of general relevance
to screen history.
Kevin, a BFS Committee member recommended this site. He found that among their attributes 'they do a very detailed job on shorts, some of which we (the BFS) screened over thirty years ago'. |

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! |
