I Give it a Year - DVD review

Josh, a struggling novelist, marries ambitious, highly strung careerist Nat after a whirlwind romance. The excited new couple seems deliriously in love despite their conflicting traits; Josh is a dreamer, Nat is a doer, Josh is cavalier and shambling, Nat is poised and polished, but the sparks between them undoubtedly fly. So far so ‘happily ever after’. Except, despite the dream coming true, no one - neither family, friends nor even the minister marrying them - believes they can last, and the giddy couple exchange vows to the whispered refrain from the congregation of... "I give It a year"... [click here...]

Knightriders - Blu-ray review

In this contemporary people story, a troupe of travelling players arrive at the edge of town. They consist of King “Billy” William, his queen, a company of knights, various performers, and makers of arts and crafts. For a small fee the pageant puts on an often violent display of jousting - in armour, but on motorcycles rather than horses - and hand-to-hand combat with weapons such as the axe, medieval spiked-mace, and sword. The combatants are happy with their calling, but one knight, Morgan, has ambitions to be king. Furthermore, he has been approached by a promoter, who wants to commercialise the company. Morgan is enticed by the prospect of money, fame and women, and leaves. However, King Billy refuses to sell out his ideals, but when he is jailed for defending one of his company against a corrupt policeman, it seems the close-knit community of knightriders may be coming to an end. King Billy continues to believe that doing the right thing will see them through, and that those which have left will return. But will he be proved right...? [click here...]
