Jack Peat's honest review of Honest Burgers  If we're to accept the premise that blaming the noisy f*ckwits on the table next to me on Honest Burgers would be unfair, then I would have to conclude that this is a pretty spot on burger joint.

By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle Director Bryn Higgins and writer Joe Fisher’s tale, (adapted from Ray Robinson’s novel of the same name), of a young woman’s struggle with epilepsy and a less than salubrious background is in many ways admirable.

More convincing...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic Terrorism is an ugly word. Unlike the act of war that evokes connotations of heroism and fighting for a cause the act of terrorism is lumped with entirely negative overtones and for good reason. But when you fight fire with fire, war with more war, the line between what constitutes terrorism and what justifies war becomes blurred.

By James Mackney @JimMackney Open Bethlehem is as much Leila Sansour’s film as it is Bethlehem’s. It chronicles Leila’s mission to ensure that Bethlehem is a free and open city and not one at the whim of Israeli pressure. Leila herself left Palestine and Bethlehem at age 18 and returned several years later to film this documentary however the documentary states that her family is depleting around her. They are feeling the pressures of the regime that is keeping Palestine...
