Even on the outskirts of Birmingham people from all over the place … Continue reading Rocky Horror Show at New Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham

Disney’s G-Force; Irresponsible Filmmaking
Could films be encouraging and contributing to the neglect of household pets? That was a question that would once have made me roll my eyes.
