News and Reviews

I'm going to include some reviews here, so everyone can see what the 'critics' are thinking. I'll try to include the good and the bad and give my comments on each. As and when new projects are confirmed I'll mention them here as well.

Risen - Film Review

The part of Howard Winstone is taken by Stuart Brannan who also co-wrote the screenplay with director, Neil Jones and between them they have produced a grim, gritty but ultimately joyous film that fails to fall into the sentimental trap which is always a danger with sporting based movies.

The film pulls no punches in telling it as it was and the grim surroundings of 1960's industrial Wales are brought to vivid life. There are some great character sketches and being a Welshman myself and a Valley boy too, it was pleasing to see characters that rang true on the screen.

Howard Winstone is portrayed honestly, warts and all, and we see that his highly focused determination is both the making of him as well as the ruin of his marriage.

MY VIEW: A great and thorough review. Definitely worth reading the full article here: http://tainted-archive.blogspot.com/2011/02/risen-film-review.html
