Rachel Bellwoar reviews series three of Britannia… Girl gets declared the Chosen One. Girl denies her destiny. Girl changes her mind and prepares to go on a quest. If series three of Britannia sounds a lot like the Lord of the Rings, that’s because it is — especially after episode three, when Cait (Eleanor Worthington-Cox) […]
Book Review – Seconds by Jez Conolly and Emma Westwood
Rachel Bellwoar reviews Seconds by Jez Conolly and Emma Westwood… Seconds isn’t the first film to create suspense around the appearance of a person whose face is covered in bandages. The Invisible Man did it. So did Eyes Without a Face and Dark Passage. Never are these films content to let the bandages stay on, […]

Rachel Bellwoar reviews Mean… Moody… Magnificent!: Jane Russell and the Marketing of a Hollywood Legend… Ever have that experience where you watch a movie starring an actor you really never paid much attention to before and suddenly all you want to do is find out more about them? For me, that’s what happened after watching […]
DVD Review – Deutschland 83, 86, & 89 Complete Box Set
Rachel Bellwoar reviews the complete box set of Deutschland 83, 86, & 89… Spies don’t come much more reluctant than Martin Rauch (Jonas Nay). It’s Martin, though, who’s the subject of Anna and Jörg Winger’s Cold War drama, Deutschland 83, and its sequels – Deutschland 86 and Deutschland 89. Much like the series itself, which […]

DVD Review – The Luminaries
Rachel Bellwoar reviews the miniseries, The Luminaries… A young man gets shot only to stand up unscathed. A young woman faints after bleeding… gold? The Luminaries is a lot more reality-based than its opening sequence suggests but if you can handle that, the rest of the series is gravy. It’s still an unusual tactic, though. […]
DVD Review – Flack Series 1 & 2
Rachel Bellwoar reviews series one and two of Flack… They’ll always be a place on television for antiheroes. If Robyn (Anna Paquin) doesn’t break the antihero mold, though, Flack does in its response to her self-destructive behavior. On the best of days, PR work can be a slippery slope, especially if your clients are rich, […]
