addicted to cinema, tv, PFC and chocolate cornflake cake Diary entries by filmfan on Fri 18th Apr 2008
As promised, here's the first few reviews of films I picked out before.
Firstly, here's what I sent to Pugwash Magazine (in case it didn't make it) The '80s are back. Everybody’s copying, remaking or referencing something that was popular back then. There’s the recent Die Hard sequel, the Transformers movie and Sly Stallone's resurrected both his Rocky and Rambo characters. Amongst all this, Son of Rambow hit our screens last week.Like 'Be Kind, Rewind', a film still inspiring homemade homages, Son of Rambow follows two friends as they make their own sequel to Rambo: First Blood.
I thought this was great. It has maths to discuss and everything! If that doesn't convince you,and it wasn't my favourite part, then perhaps the prospect of Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns)in a number of sexy outfits (and accents) will sway you.
More movies when I've seen 'em. Wanna see these? I saw them at Vue Portsmouth (there's practically nowhere else). Permanent link

With the excellent Skins and Shameless finishing this week, and BBC2 teasing us with the new series of Heroes, I thought it was time for a TV Blog. Skins first. Another great series from the young team, who seem to be able to cast all the funniest comedy actors the UK has to offer. Bill Bailey and Mark Heap were excellent as various dads, shame they never met onscreen. SKINS NEWS: All the massive group of friends that form the central cast of Skins - Sid, Cassie, Tony etc. - are to be replaced for the next series, with auditions already happening in London. Only Effie (Tony's sister) is staying, and with the auditions asking for 16 & 17 year olds, it looks like we'll be going back to the start of six form/college. Having already been drugged and having nursed her brother back to health following the bus crash of series 1, what on Earth could Effie get up to next? Shameless. I'd never seen this before and I loved it. Everyone at home did, consistently laugh out loud funny. Bones. SkyOne's best forensic dramedy (oh yeah I did that!). Back the other week, we've already had the kiss that the Sky magazine was teasing us about, as the team try to catch various evil-doers, especially The Gormogon killer. Doctor Who & Torchwood. A much improved second series of TW has finished, with the latest series of DW starting a few weeks ago. The first ep of DW was a bit silly, but the second saw some good character development. Roll on the Ood! Heroes. BBC2's Torchwood-shaped filler (an expensive one mind you) is back on from next Thursday. With reports that the first few eps aren't up to scratch but that it improves soon enough, just give it a little time if it disappoints. It won't though. MORE NEWS: Charlie Brooker, BBC Four's cranky TV grumpus, is going to write a horror series for digital channel E4. Click here for the BBC's story. Channel Four seems to know less about it than the Beeb, but then they do keep Charlie in a cupboard full of TV's for most of the autumn, so they probably got it out of him through the inhumane use of I'd Do Anything. And Finally. ITV has some stuff worth watching too. Other than crime drama, which they do quite well, they've got Headcases. A great reason to try out ITV's catch-up service, this is Spitting Image for the digital age. Everyone from Gordon Brown to Katie and Peter get done over (metaphorically). It’s funny 'cos its too close to the truth.
P.S. Feel free to comment on any of my blogs. If I’m not mistaken, there's a few hundred of you out there who read this rubbish, so you must have something to say.
