I remember the release of Chariots of Fire so vividly from my childhood. I also remember how it won multiple awards and that this was like the kiss of death for me. You see, the films I normally watch don't win Oscars, BAFTAs or any kind of mainstream awards. I associate these awards with boring …

Thank God for subtitles and online Yorkshire dialect translators. Billy Caspar is a 15-year-old youth who is due to leave school soon. He is …
When I saw that Robin Askwith headed the cast of this British 70's horror flick I instantly thought of the brilliant bawdy comedies The Confessions series which he starred in and were delightfully mucky and low-brow.
