Straight ahead fun, no Hollywood b.s.


As a Yankee myself seing the utter crap that gets marketed in the states, and now stumbling upon British films, i'm pissed off.....Movies like this would make alot of money in the states, i wish i coulda seen this in the theatre. In the last week, i've seen Football Factory, Green Street Hooligans, The Business, Outlaw, Goodbye charlie bright, I.D., The Firm, all for the first time, WHERE THE *beep* WERE THESE MOVIES IN THE STATES, all top notch films passed over by Hollywood and therefore i'm just now getting to watch them through word of mouth.

Wake up Hollywood, British films are kicking your ass, stop putting money into vin diseal Fast and Furious and put some time promoting solid films like the ones i've mentioned.

Not sure if anyone's already mentioned these, but check out the director Shane Meadows and the director Ben Wheatly. Also the movie London To Brighton.
