FILM REVIEW: 1920: The Battle of Warsaw (15) *** Oct 14 2011

GIVEN the number of Polish people working in the West Midlands, more’s the pity this historical movie was released without an advanced press screening, especially as it’s a well made insight into how the Poles bravely stood between Bolshevik plans to move into Western Europe after the First World War.Read

Film Review: The Debt (15) * * * * Sep 30 2011
