A personal interest of mine is Horror and Cult (yes Cult not C**t films :o :D ) and a self obsessive obbet is reviewing them. So if anyone has the time could be please have a read of my reviews and let me know what you think?

http://excoboard.com/exco/forum.php?forumid=77533&PHPSESSID=f31af1c9d9a95eaf906a2804bf96f21f

My reviews are under the name of Rawhead Rex. The site host/designer is doing the DVD review section on his message board as a tester. If it takes off the reviews will be transfered to the main site.

The main site is http://www.realmofhorror.co.uk

dont forget mysite either

...as Barry Norman would say ;)

Joking aside, you should proof-read your reviews properly before submitting them. There are lapses in terms of punctuation and grammatical construction here. We all make the occasional grammatical error, and on a forum such as this it does not matter a great deal. However, you are reviewing films in this case rather than casually exchanging banter/views etc, so you need to pay more attention to detail. Phrases such as 'Has it is etc' [sic] , which are obviously grammatically incorrect should be tightened up.

Grammer is somthing i'm learning at college at the moment. I am not the best with grammer, one of the main reasons i'm doing these reviews, so as to help me improve my grammer. Its always good to get someone else to proof read your work, as its easy to miss stuff yourself. I'l have to give another proof read :help: .

Cheers Wayne :clap:

Wayne,
The important thing is that you are writing in the first place. At least you are endeavouring to express your views in writing on a favourite topic . That in itself is to be encouraged in my view. You are being creative, which is more than can be said for the majority of the population.

Keep trying to improve your grammatical construction, clarity of expression, concision etc at college. It is well worth the effort, and you will stand a much better chance of having your work published if your written style contains fewer errors. Nobody is perfect, however, and in my case I recently submitted an academic paper to a journal with a couple of errors in it. In theory, as the Editor of an academic journal myself, I should know better. Anyone's typing fingers can slip, but the idea is to identify the errors before anyone else does.

I wish you the best of luck with your writing and college work.

Surprisingly enough, both Cycleracer and I survived the regime of Sheffield's most feared Headmaster, the sinister, tall, Welsh vampire that was Edwards. Edwards, rumoured to have been a volunteer and Untersturmbannfuhrer in the infamous Das Reich Panzer Division, modelled Hinde House on an SS Order Castle. Do you still have the whip marks, Paul? I understand if you don't want to talk about it. Most of us don't. I still have nightmares about how those poor 'first years' disappeared. They thought they were going for showers...
