Have you ever dreamed of what might happen if you decided to interact with that person you locked eyes with when walking down the street?

The Lovers on the Bridge 1991
Two hopelessly lost souls collide on a crumbling bridge, both trapped in a deadly cycle that dominates those in its clutches. Addiction, disease, poverty, famine - all part of a daily struggle that plagues their existence. For Alex, wrapping his lips around that oh so sweet glass canister is the highlight of the day. The concoction within surging through his veins, offering a way to forget but not a way out. Michèle has lost everything, new to this way of…

Jailer 2023
Catching this in a completely packed cinema, full of cheering and clapping fans is one of the most fun movie experiences I've had.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2004
Sigh here we go again...
As many of you reading this will already know, I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind at the end of last year and did not like it at all. If you didn't know this, I’m sorry. This rating will have most likely left you feeling a little bit upset, maybe even angry. I understand. Grab a drink, take a seat and read on at your own risk. Just know that I really tried to…

Decision to Leave 2022
Tonight, after leaving the cinema, I walked through the night-time streets of Birmingham city centre and felt an overwhelming sense of clarity. I slowed my walking pace, letting the wind blow the rain against my face, feeling the cold splash of each droplet as it hit me. I felt the weight of my feet pressing against the ground with each step. I gazed up at the sky and took a deep breath of cool air. What I felt in that…
