Sky’s the limit

There seems to be a lot of concern about the ‘Iran stand-off’ these days - which is probably why Sky One has asked Plymouth-based TV-types Twofour to make a documentary about the Beckhams’ move to Los Angeles.

Called, unsurprisingly, The Beckhams Go to Hollywood, the show will be hosted by smirking beanpole Iain Lee (Justin Lee Collins was presumable [...]

Strip show (video)

We dunno about you but we’ve been at sixes and sevens since the clocks went forward on Sunday, so can sympathise with the latest tune from Tavistock’s own Rumble Strips.

Called Alarm Clock, it’s the first release from the band’s forthcoming album Girls And Weather and describes D+CFilm’s difficulty in getting out of bed (possibly).

You can watch the ‘promo’ (as [...]

Current fun

Since Lost and 24 have been booted off Virgin Media, we’ve been watching the Current TV channel.

Well, not really. It all looks a bit worthy and dull, but you sound quite trendy if you mention it, non?

Still, we must admit it’s a pretty innovative idea – a telly network created by, for, and with young adults. And they [...]

Ghosts, buster (video)

Hullo viewer! It’s your friendly neighbourhood D+CFilm here, back in action
after some, ahem, technical difficulties. This website lark is no cakewalk, we can tell you.

Still, at least you have the sexy Sunshine banner at the top of the page now,
so it was worth all the trouble, wasn’t it?

Anyway, we’re not here to apologise and explain (for once) - we’re here [...]

Ghosts review

There’s a danger that calling Nick Broomfield’s Ghosts haunting might seem trite, but the director’s take on the account of the death of 26 Chinese cockle pickers in 2004 is a powerful tale of economic migration.

Making moves

D+Cineastes venturing into their friendly neighbourhood Early Learning Centre can pick up a DVD called The Magic of Making, written and narrated by Plymouth editor and producer Simon Ashcroft.

But what happens when you’ve watched it from, erm, cover to cover?

Ah well, the good news for kids and simpletons is next month he will begin filming the second season, [...]
