Did You See The Deep Blue Sea?
I bumped into the outstanding British director this week in Liverpool.
He was promoting his new movie The Deep Blue Sea which had a great opening weekend at the box office.
Have you seen the film? If you have, I'd like to know what you thought of it.

The great British film director Ken Russell died on Sunday.

And The Nomination Isn't...
The Awards season is upon us and once again the Oscars selection is proving baffling.
There was one title that absolutely should have made the nominations long list - but they've left it out.
