With his debut movie Moon, Duncan Jones made a mighty leap; now with this superb follow-up, he has hit the ground sprinting. Source Code is a terrifically exciting and hugely enjoyable sci-fi thriller, written by Ben Ripley. For pure entertainment, there's nothing around to touch it.

This blog has been brought out of retirement to help students access remote learning materials in case any of the school systems crash. Otherwise this blog is an archive of the revision ideas, lesson notes, and homework used to help Media students at Alleyn's prepare for their A level exams since 2008. It will now be mothballed as students' work is contained on the school intranet 'the Hub'.
