  • Will You Help Michael Moore With His Next Film ?

    Received this in my box today, so I’d thought I’d share it with you…
    Me and Mike are like that …!

    Friends,

    I am in the middle of shooting my next movie and I am looking for a few brave people who work on Wall Street or in the financial industry to come forward and share with me what they know. Based on those who have already contacted me, I believe there are a number of you who know “the real deal” about the abuses that have been happening. You have information that the American people need to hear. I am humbly asking you for a moment of courage, to be a hero and help me expose the biggest swindle in American history.

    All correspondence with me will be kept confidential. Your identity will be protected and you will decide to what extent you wish to participate in telling the greatest crime story ever told.

    The important thing here is for you to step up as an American and do your duty of shedding some light on this financial collapse. A few good people have already come forward, which leads me to believe there are many more of you out there who know what’s going on. Here’s your chance to let your fellow citizens in on the truth.

    If you have any info that would help, please contact me at my private email address: bailout@michaelmoore.com.

    For the rest of you on my email list who don’t work in the financial industry, you’re probably wondering, “What the heck is this all about? I thought he said he was making a romantic comedy!”

    Well, I just can’t say much right now. I’m sure you can understand why. One thing I can tell you is that you’re gonna like this movie when I’m done with it. Oh, yeah…

    So, again, if you work for a bank, a brokerage firm or an insurance company — or if you have seen things or heard things that you believe the American people have a right to know — please contact me at bailout@michaelmoore.com.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Yours,
    Michael Moore

  • It Must Be Love, Love, Love…..

    It Must Be Love, Love, Love…..

    By Comedy Queen Miller.

    With Valentine’s Day just around the corner and everyone gearing up for the ultimate day/night of romance I thought I’d lend a helping hand to those struggling for something to do. For me, the best way to spend Valentines is not in an over crowded restaurant or movie theatre but at home watching a DVD and eating a brilliant take-away (I enjoy chicken korma or sweet and sour chicken in case anyone is offering). With that in mind, choosing romantic films can often be a challenge for couples so I’ve come up with a list that will hopefully please both sides of the relationship. So take a read, get inspired and share with us some of your favourite romantic films.

    1. Shaun Of The Dead. It’s Valentines Day and Simon Pegg’s Birthday. Two for one here!
    2. Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. “I can’t see anything that I don’t like about you.” – Joel.
    3. The 40 Year Old Virgin. He’s no ho-runner.
    4. 10 Things I Hate About You.

    And finally, my all time favourite love story……..

    5. True Romance. And if anyone questions this being romantic just ask them if THEY would take on Gary Oldman’s character…

  • BRWC Awards 2009…

    Being a fresh contributor, I wanted to gauge what the vibes were out there, and how keen certain characters are in regards to certain forms of film etc.

    Therefore, I have decided to devise an awards ceremony based on a voting structure for all you BRWC

    I will be posting a new award everyday, and I am hoping for a healthy response so that come the climax, we can compile a best of from the last year in film.

    I would like to open with the category of readers and contributors.…


    ‘Most Outstanding and Original approach to Film Direction’

    1. Darren Aronofsky – The Wrestler
    2. Shane Meadows – Somers Town
    3. Danny Boyle – Slumdog Millionaire
    4. Laurent Cantet – The Class (Entre les murs)
    5. Michel Gondry – Be Kind Rewind
    6. Stefan Ruzowitsky – The Counterfeiters
    7. Brad Anderson – Transsiberian
    8. James Marsh – Man on Wire (DocuFilm)
    9. Coen Brothers – Burn After Reading
    10. Mike Leigh – Happy Go Lucky
    11. James Watkins – Eden Lake
    12. Gus Van Sant – Milk
    13. Steven Soderbergh – Che (Pt. 1 and 2)
    14. Ari Folman – Waltz with Bashir
    15. David Fincher – The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
    16. Cristian Mungiu – 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days

    I appreciate that everyone will have their own take on what has been the most extraordinary movie making this year and it may well fall outside of my extensive shortlist, but I would much appreciate it if we could stick within the constraints as I can then form an accurate idea of who is and isn’t popular within our community!!

    Happy voting guys, and I hope I have dabbled with everyones taste-buds a touch within the above!!

  • Well Hello !

    Greetings fellow film-fans. It seems a brief introductory post is the way to go so here it is. I got to work almost immediately and am about half way through my first review. It’s getting late now so I’ll most likely finish it tomorrow. I’m hoping to contribute reviews of current films and some older ones too. I have a few different ideas in mind so hopefully I can add other features too.

    My first review will be Burn After Reading which I don’t think has been reviewed on here yet according to my quick search. Beware ! She ain’t gonna be pretty!

    Anyway, I’m looking forward to giving it my best shot and I hope people enjoy what I have to offer !

  • Who’s That Girl ?

    It’s me everyone! BRWC’s latest contributor. Just wanted to take this time to introduce myself and set the tone for my writing……….. wait. I need a coffee. Be right back………………………….. ahhhhh that’s better. Well I hope to entertain and inform all of you fellow film buffs (or geeks for those that prefer that term, such as myself).

    With this being my first post I thought I’d take this time to share with you all the film I’m next anticipating. And yes it’s a comedy.. Cheers all!
