(A)bout Us
​Founded in 2012 and officially launched in 2015, (A)musings is dedicated to bringing in-depth, professional reviews and coverage of the worlds of entertainment!
Based in the West Midlands and London, UK, we see ourselves as an 'online broadsheet' of sorts - more interested in the content and quality of our reviews and features than driving up hits or accumulating traffic with sensationalism or 'click baiting'.
We're an experienced, passionate group - for us it's all about celebrating Film, Theatre, Television and Videogames in all their many varied forms.
As officially approved critics on IMDB.com, affiliates with some of the top distributors, Film studios and Theatres in both London and across the UK, and with plans to launch our TV and Games coverage in coming months, we're always looking for talented new writers and content producers to help take (A)musings to the next stage in it's ever-exciting evolution!
Amusing - To be amused / entertained
Musing - To ponder / reflect
(A)musings = Thoughts and reflections on the world of entertainment!
