Customer Reviews
A must for all film lovers
Ian Smith knows his stuff. His reviews are honest, fair and show his knowledge of what makes a good film. Looking forward to hearing more in 2011.
Better than Mayo and Kermode
I found this review really entertaining without having the pompous showoffedness and massive bias displayed by Mark Kermode on a Friday afternoon on Radio 5.
Will certainly assist in improving my Bluray purchases and downloads!
Perfect for those wanting a neutral review of new films out on Bluray.
Great podcast
It's a really good podcast. Saved me watching at least one film so far. I agree with the earlier review Ian seems to know his stuff and I'm looking forward to the next pods. Thanks.
