What's new at alt-flix.co.uk

June 2009 (ii). I would urge any fan of cinema to get out and see Ken Loach's new film LOOKING FOR ERIC. We had the privilege of seeing the film a couple of weeks ago at a special preview screening, and we were absolutely spellbound watching the film. As you may know we are huge fans of Loach's work, but it has to be said that 'Looking For Eric' may possibly be his finest work to date (bearing mind the quality of his previous films that statement is not made lightly). The film is more readily accessible than some of his other pieces, which all augers well for the film reaching a wider audience than often sees his work.

June 2009 (i). Prepare for a big shape up for alt-flix, where it will be contracting and expanding both at the same time. More film and reviews, wider coverage and more focus on TV titles too. All is in the pipeline and will be rolled out shortly. As will the DVD releases section which has been taking a back seat but will shortly feature more in depth reviews of the top titles. In the meantime, for those who are keen to keep up to date with all the DVDs being released, we would point you in the direction of Movie Mail whose new releases list is as exhaustive and as well selected as we have seen.
