But
it's rubbish! Why are things like this getting made ahead of the
Red Dwarf film?
Red Dwarf has been going for far longer and has a bigger fan base. ARGH.

After my love affairs with
Thomas the Tank Engine and
Ghostbusters came a love for
Teenage Mutant Hero (Ninja) Turtles. I watched the cartoon, I had
all the toys, the
NES (and
SNES) games and watched each three of the live-action films in awe.
Thinking back on the films now, however, I can't help but feel a bit cringed. (I'm not sure if grammatically that's the correct use of the word. But sometimes you just gotta say:
"The laws of words and sentence structure - who gives a smeg?!")
Anyway, yes - the original films entertained me greatly all of ten or so years ago. But now my fond memories of them stay in the past, save for nostalgia. It's hard to say exactly why; they just seem a bit too gimmicky to want to watch at this age.
Having said that, I am fairly interested to see them again now - having just seen
the teaser trailer to the all new
Turtles film due out next year. It looks awesome and the cgi is probably the best of all the wholly-cgi films I've ever seen.
Few films excite me like this so it's great when they do come along. And given I accidentally stumbled across the teaser (I didn't even know they were making another
Turtles film) I am feeling quite excited indeed.
Turtle power!

Collateral greatly disappointed the
first time I saw it. I can't remember why, though I do remember feeling the ending was a bit rushed - so maybe that's partly to blame.
Whatever, I fancied a revisit earlier and have just finished watching it for the second time. It was excellent. In fact, the only bit I didn't like was seeing Jamie Foxx's character checking his postcard towards the beginning having only just (in the film's running time) put it there. It was obvious why it was there and a later scene explained it for the thickies anyway.
But yes, 'twas ace.

George of
Asda is going the right way about getting a thump with all of these
horrible adverts. I wouldn't mind if the songs used were actually recent - then I might just be convinced the children hadn't learnt the lyrics especially for the recording. I mean, come on -
Pretty Woman. Fair enough, I've heard it. But even I don't know all of the words and I'm nearing twenty-one.
As with all the other songs used previously, they've clearly thought up a track that they feel works but not looked beyond the enthusiastic lyrics.
Television is getting worse by the day.
After yesterday's tearful night comes today's great morning: A fifteen-minute one-on-one conversation with Danny John-Jules and three
Star Wars DVDs that aren't even released until Monday.
I am the cool.
