You Have Been Watching…Aberdeen
It’s been a recent theme that many of the films featured on these pages had only the briefest of visits to cinemas before being shelved. This week’s choice didn’t even make it that far. Apparently the BBFC didn’t even think it worth giving it an age certification. But the most baffling aspect of this neglect is that […]

You Have Been Watching…Complicity
For all his reasonable and affable public persona, the author Iain Banks is an angry man. At least he can be.

You Have Been Watching…Tunes of Glory
Certain films take you by surprise. You come at them with preconceived expectations and leave with those confounded. The poster, the cast, the trailer and soundtrack normally work together to prime you for what you are about to watch, but occasionally they lead you in the wrong direction. One such film is Tunes of Glory.
