Alex B Cann Film Column - Wuthering Frights 05/03/26
Before settling down to watch the Brits, and reminiscing about things being better in the days of Fleetwood & Fox hosting, John Prescott getting a soaking from Chumbawamba's drummer Danbert Nobacon, and Jarvis Cocker mooning on stage during Earth Song, I rewatched Sisu last weekend. It's a film I've seen several times, and it's unflinchingly violent, whilst being beautifully shot and brilliant!

Alex Cann Column - 05/03/26
As I write, the world feels more tumultuous than it has in a long time. For a fleeting moment last week, I felt a sense of renewed hope and optimism as plumber turned politician Hannah Spencer gave her victory speech following the Gorton and Denton by-election result being declared. Overturning a 13,000 vote majority, Spencer spoke passionately about those of us who work hard, asking the question "what does that get you"?
