WELCOME: About Me

WELCOME TO MY ONLINE HOME!

My name is Sassy Brit, and I am an independent reviewer and freelance writer. I started this site with the intention of promoting my own work, whilst reviewing for other people every now and then. However, before anyone can say ‘books-a-bound’, a part-time hobby turned into an all-consuming passion, and since June 2005 this site has seen many changes.

As a book and film fanatic with a keen interest in scouring the shelves for that something different I always have a book attached to me in some form or other. If not reading, I’m watching a film, or trying out a new notebook…Crazy, but I love them! I’m officially a notebook nerd.

• Run Lola Run (Germany), directed by Tom Tykwer
• The Grudge (Japan), directed by Takashi Shimizu
• The Matrix (America) directed by The Wachowski Brothers
• The Ring (Japan), directed by Nanako Matsushima
• Requium for a Dream (America) directed by Darren Aronofsky
• American History X (America) directed by British Tony Kaye
• The Double Life of Veronique (Polish) directed by Krzysztof Kieslowski
• The Limey (America) directed by Steven Soderbergh
• Apocalypse Now (America) directed by Francis Ford Coppola

Okay, so America is not quite classed as world cinema these days, but I am British!

Excellent British films have to incude:

• 28 Days Later directed by Danny Boyle
• Dog Soldiers directed by Neil Marshall
• Sexy Beast directed by Johnathan Glazer
• Shallow Grave directed by Danny Boyle
• Hot Fuzz by Edgar Wright
• Shaun of the Dead by Edgar Wright

Adaptations:

• Mulholland Drive directed by David Lynch
• The Bourne Identity directed by Doug Liman
• Road to Perdition directed by Sam Mendes
• Confessions of a Dangerous Mind directed by George Clooney
• The Rules of Attraction directed by Roger Avary

So, here I am, eager to promote books and other products with a difference (hence the ‘alternative’ theme). Yes, I’ve reviewed more than just books!

• audio and ebooks
• computer software
• DVD’s
• electrical items
• cookware
• games
• indie horror film productions
• music CD’s
• health and beauty products
• pet products (currently I own one dog, two rats and 6 fish).

If you have a product or service you’d like reviewed or maybe you’d like me to host a giveaway, or post your press release to this site, please email me at Sassy[dot]Brit[@]gmail[dot]com to pitch your idea.

I enjoy writing reviews and posting my findings to this blog, but it wouldn’t be so much fun without my readers. So, this blog is for you! I am truly honoured to have your support and enjoy reading and responding to your comments.

Thank you!

Sassy
