I’m not being funny, but the Channel 4 production of ‘Mo‘ was fantastic. Julie Walters is captivating and the programme turned me into an emotional wreck throughout. Some films leave a lasting impact on you for life and this is certainly one of them.
Now, I’m a fan of Star Wars and Lego, so when the two are combined it’s brilliant! On a recent trip to Legoland (believe it) I couldn’t help but pick up my new friend, Lego Princess Leah. In the film, she’s chained to a giant fat slug, but in real Lego life, Lego Princess Leah [...]
The last ever episode of the new Battlestar Galactica series aired in America this weekend (and my living room in London). Having watched every depressing minute of the four series and TV films I can now offer final judgement. As with any TV show this judgement is done by comparing it to Xena: Warrior Princess. Battlestar [...]
As distracting as Angelina Jolie’s lips are, they still couldn’t distract from her performance as a mother who’s child is kidnapped in the film Changeling. I saw the trailer (who didn’t: my son! My son! I want my son! MY SON!) but completely missed this in the run up to the Oscars while being sidetracked [...]
Boo hoo hoo! She’s been let down five times before, we’ll let her cry. Hopefully she won’t let go.
The likes of the BBC are claiming that this year’s Oscars were predictable but I claim the opposite. Award shows rarely award who the public hope to see win. In fact, the last time I can remember [...]
“I’ve been the victim of gossip.”
I’ve watched some shit in my time, and this show is buried deep at the bottom of the cesspit. It’s worse than Nicole Kidman’s Nightmaster and that film literally damaged my brain. This week the BBFs all went down to the farm to shovel manure and they all voted who [...]
A Lady always wears porcelain and dances like a robot
JUSTICE! Girls Aloud, Pet Shop Boys, Kings of Leon and Katy Perry all won awards. Even Duffy deserved at least one of the three awards she won. Plus Kylie presented. The ingredients were there but the Brits were still crap. Who the hell is/are “Elbow”? Allegedly [...]
The biggest ‘will they / won’t they’ in cinematic history!
For whatever reason I wasn’t expecting to like this film, by the end of the credits it firmly planted itself on my list of all time favourite films. Everything about the complex and clever plot, to the nastiness contrasted with happiness, to the most deserving soundtrack [...]
Such promise. Andrew Lloyd Webber writing the song. A woman who could shake her booty and sing. Yet we ended up with this dross (
TTYN
Right, what the hell is going on? Last night I switched on my TV to exaggerated pouting, strutting and general acting of a vacuous teenage prom queen nature. FYI, Paris Hilton is in town. And yes, she still has a face you instantly want to punch and a (lack of) personality to match. After [...]
Doubt is a simple film centred around one single act, yet it is emotionally powerful if a little silly. Meryl Streep is truly brilliant, as is Philip Seymour Hoffman, even if they both play characters that are very different to those portrayed in the trailer. Each character has a lot of depth and believability that [...]
