Welcome! This is one of those shitty amateur blogs about movies by someone with no journalistic experience and a poor command of the English language. Now that I’ve seduced you into reading, we can commence!
This is the movie blog for you if you have an open mind about films. I’m the kind of guy who thinks Jean-Luc Goddard was in Star Trek and thinks Kurosawa is a motorbike manufacturer but knows how many bad guys Arnie kills in Commando*.
Screenkicker is over a year old and it has expanded into a podcast and now a YouTube channel! My friends Chris and Denis are the engines of the podcast and the video content which will be coming thick and fast in the near future.
So if you like films, and you can tolerate someone unqualified judging them then subscribe to Screenkicker today!
Cheers
Mikey

Hello,
Iām writing from CLD Communications, a personal PR company that deal with actors and actresses. One of our actors is going up to the Edinburgh Film Festival and we are contacting some press in advance to secure some coverage. I wondered if you could give me an email address for Michael Boyd so I can contact him regarding this?
Thank you. Hope to hear from you soon.
