Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging [2008]
On a cinema trip with my mates one Saturday we decided to see 'Angus, thongs and perfect snogging'. I hadn't read any of the books but all my friends had and said they were amazing. And it turns out the film was too!
It's incredibly funny and honest and I can't wait to get a copy of the DVD for christmas. Film of the year for me :)
I thought Season One and Two were fantastic, and the mystery and lacks of answers was enthralling. However, I felt that Season Three started to go astray, and it just seemed to keep creating crazy questions just to keep us on the edge of our seats. If you felt that about Season Three, then you will continue to be frustrated with this season. Instead of flash-backs, we now have flash-fowards, which seem great, but through the progression of the season, the situation on the island becomes more and more ludicrous. The climax of the season is just completely awful, and proof that all the greatness is Lost (pun intended).
What a refreshing change from the last few cheesy, old-fashioned, out-dated, badly scripted bonds. Hurrah for Daniel Craig, Jason bourne has nothing on you
The film was great to watch. Several songs were good and it was overall a enchanting film. The only let down was the ending but other then that it was a really good film.

In one of Walt Disney's classics, Bagheera the panther offers to take Mowgli, a young boy, to the man village before the evil tiger Shere Khan gets to him.
This family adventure is a classic, made so by a beautiful sentimental plot about human emotions, including loyalty, sensitivity and most importantly love. And these human emotions are decoded through the animals of the jungle.
With the enchanting and fun loving actions of Baloo the bear and the honest and hard actions of Bagheera, do audiences get that true feel of the human spirit, and the facts of life, to have fun, but to face the truth as well, which is also reflected in some of the most catchy and enjoyable songs ever created for a Disney picture.
"The Bear Necessities", "Trust in me" and "That's what friends are for" are the brightest gems to have ever been written and are beautifully directed and told through humorous and delightful techniques by the team.
Though the plot can be a little slow at times, the characters are all joys to watch, particularly the bad guys Khan and Kaa, who light up the film in their own dark way. Khan's dialogue is perhaps the best ever written for an animated villain and even in my adult years I find him chilling to watch.
The film explores the depths of the jungle with a keen interest in different animals, which are explored in a comic fashion from the forgettable elephant to the bored vultures, the Jungle Book simply has everything.
From an excellent plot, to the wonderful sing-along songs, it is a true landmark in the animation genre.
9/10
Without out doubt The West Wing is one of the best TV series of all time. It is uneven with the earlier shows having the edge over the later ones and it does at times sink into sentimentailty but this sould not put you off watching. The cast is headed by Martin Sheen as President Josiah Barchlet, a liberal Democrat from New Hampshire. As President he is surrrounded by able aids and advisors who more that the President form the core of the show's action. These include Alison Janney as Press Secretary CJ Cregg, Richard Schiff as Toby Ziegler, the Communications Director. All the actors are perfect for their parts, but my prize goes to John Spencer as White House Chief of Staff Leo McGarry. McGarry is the man who gets things done and has a ruthless side which is needed because it is clear that the President at times is to soft. Sadley John Spencer died towards the end of the last series.
In the West Wing the Democrats, who are clearly the good guys, do not always beat the bad guys, who are not quite so clearly the Republicans.
The show as well as being great drama is also very funny.
You may need to be interested in politics to get the best out of the West Wing but it is not essiantial. If it was not let down by it's tendency to sentimentailty the West Wing would by up there with the Wire and the Sopranos as the greatest TV Drama of all time on either side of the Atlantic. It does not quite reach those heights but it is still great viewing.
I watched this film 'cold', without looking at trailers and reading reviews or 'the book'. So her is my lasting impression.
The characters were excellent and the story moved through action sequences and general dialogue without a pre-set pattern so, in short, the viewer could be shocked at any moment. This was used to great effect in many scenes, to the benefit of the storyline, until the 'end' of the film.
However, after watching almost everything there was to see, then getting ready for some sort of finale to answer a whole list of questions and discover the, 'who', 'what', 'where', 'when', 'why' of the whole film, we are suddenly greeted with the 'end credits'.
My wife and I (Not Mr Meldrew) could not believe it as, until that point, the film had been excellent. In the end, even if the 'book' which some other reviewers mention, ends in that fashion, perhaps there should have been the option to have an alternate ending on the DVD at least.
Purists may well disagreee, and I am really sorry to say this but, as a cinematic experience, many people will feel let down.
Every new series of Doctor Who brings a new gripping story line, new characters, and another goodbye... and series four is no different.
The series starts of with the Doctor and Donna trying to crack the mystery around Adipose Industries but never quite meeting, always just missing each other, but finally they meet, and after narrowly escaping Miss Foster they decide to take her down.
The series just gets better from then on, with some old enemes, such as the sontarans, the ood, and daleks, and new enemies like Vespiforms, Vasta Nerada, and the Pyroviles. Not only does he meet and greet old enemies he reunites with old companions and meets a few new ones on the way.
Series Four will see the return of the Doctor (David Tennant), Donna Noble (Catherine Tate), Martha Jones (Freema Agyeman) and her mum, Francine, Captain Jack Harkness (John Barrowman), Sarah Jane Smith (Elizabeth Sladen), Rose Tyler (Billie Piper), Jackie Tyler (Camille Conduri), Mickey Smith (Noel Clarke), and Wilfred Mott (Bernard Cribbons)
If the show is getting better and better with every series, you an imagine how good the next one will be.
This is a fun family film with excellent music. What more do you want?
Reviewers who bleat on about bad directing and wooden acting are totally missing the point of the film and need to lighten up a bit.
