Charlotte Cripps, The Independent, 9th June 2012Review: Ross Noble's film debut, Stitches
On the surface of Ross Noble's film debut lies a well-worn cinematic angle: a killer clown, played by comedian Noble, is out for revenge on a group of kids who take a prank too far. Stitches is advertised as a horror/black comedy. As far as I'm concerned, it's mission accomplished; though forget pigeonholing it into a genre.

Tommy Holgate, The Sun, 9th June 2012'Brass Eye': Tube Talk Gold
It's incredible to think that Chris Morris's news satire Brass Eye is 15 years old. We now live in a world of 24-hour news broadcasting, Twitter-mania and Sky-copters following even the faintest whiff of a scandal from the air. But despite this, Morris's lampooning of media hysteria and the celebrities who are happy to exploit it for their own gain feels just as perfect and pin-point accurate today as it did in 1997.
