\n\t\t\t\tAll About Anna<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI saw a bit of this last year and all i can say is this.\r\n\r\nI hope they can afford a tripod next time The miserable acting is barely saved by the hard porn This is not a film IT IS porn There is no lighting.\r\n\r\nI am one for the old films and i do not think a movie needs all the bells and whistles like CG and effects but this has nothing and i mean the porn is so unnecessary and it is meaningless like in that stage version of cabaret. This film is like the mind of a teenager with no imagination. The inexperience is so clear though with practice a couple of the cast could get good but this... Well i don't real know what it is... a cross between the ground shots from Miami vice, the talent of the child between enter Sharai and son of dork and sex like you-porn.com Though the blond girl is quite pretty she should have a career if she took the time to research the other contributers like the director and camera man for a school rec it might pass as appalling but as a film there is a long way to go sorry.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThe Insiders Guide to Happiness<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis offbeat, strange and yet very appealing TV series is one of the better small screen products to come out of New Zealand in some time.\r\n\r\nThe tracking of so many different, converging story threads, all with their own ample measure of quirkiness, challenged me as a viewer and made it so much more enjoyable that the usual linear story based series we have been subject to. The mystic elements were never over-done and just added to the drama (and comedy).\r\n\r\nMy favourite character was easily James, the slightly dopey insurance adjuster who undergoes a supernatural experience and spends most of his time trying to figure out what is happening to him.\r\n\r\nI congratulate everyone involved with producing a superior TV series and hope we can see lots more from the same team. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThe Secret Life of Us<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis show is fantastic. Simple as that. I'm usually smiling like a fool during it it's that fun, and along with several acclaimed American series, is one of the best series' I've watched. It's just as good as Six Feet Under (though with less dead people, and ghosts!). In fact, it wouldn't be too dissimilar from a certain \"Sex and the City\". It contains the same sort of drama and humour (hopefully that didn't put anyone off!).\r\n\r\nSet in Australia, it centres on 8 20-somethings who all live in the same apartment complex in St Kilda, Victoria. These are Jason [lawyer], Richie [actor], Will [brick layer], Miranda [actor], Gabrielle , Alex [Doc], Evan [writer]and Kelly [Events Co-ordinator]. Of this rag tag bunch of Aussies, the last two characters give insightful, and wry, commentaries concerning themselves and each other. And they do the usual things you'd expect. Fall in love with each other, bosses, flatmates, or other members of their sex, and make it funny and moving.\r\n\r\nAt first, it may take a while to understand who loves\/fantasises about who and maybe the Aussie humour and drama may not be for everyone (\"love it or hate it\" as its most often been described) but honestly, it should grow on you, and if you already like lighthearted dramas, look out for this one (Hey, the Aussies can export more than just Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman). <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tRecently I saw this movie again (after 25 years). In the original there is a scene in the bathroom of an airplane during the landing between Jacqueline Bisset's character and Michael Brandon's character. The rented version did not have this scene in it. Did I imagine this?\r\n\r\nOr, is this part of the \"clean up\" of movies where some are altered to exclude portions some people think are not \"appropriate\"?\r\n\r\nI love this movie -- it is exactly like the friendship between a friend and I and we've been friends for 25 years and saw it together. Her husband thought it was us as well.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tNewcastle<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhile I've seen some over-the-top homophobic comments of two 'reviewers'. This is not a \"gay-themed\" film. There's a small, but bright facet that is gay-themed.\r\n\r\nFamily, sibling rivalry among brothers, loss, teenage high-jinx, and a lot of surfing overshadows the fact that one brother is gay. The few PG moments of sex are between two older teen boys and their girlfriends. If seeing a male butt, (in a non-sexual context), makes you squirm, you better stay away from a ton of \"regular\" movies and museums too.\r\n\r\nAnyway, \"Newcastle\" is the story of how a tragedy enables a family to overcome nagging internal tensions. There are no villains, just victims of their own fear and disappointment. The performances are all topnotch. A minus for US viewer: occasionally the Aussie accents are a little hard to understand. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tHorne & Corden<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI quite enjoyed Gavin and Stacey, so I was looking forward to seeing the two boys with their own sketch show. \"What could go wrong?\" I asked myself. And the answer, was nothing. From the joke where the fat one wobbles his belly to the joke where the thin one rolls around on the fat one, I was in creases for the entirety of the first episode. By the time second episode came around, I was a little cautious - could they have lost their touch? Would the material have gotten stale after the first, mindblowing, series of sketches? It was a worry, to be sure!\r\n\r\nOnce again, however, I was not disappointed. This time around, the fat one and the thin one were being superheroes, with an hilarious homosexual subtext as the fat one hugged the thin one for a clearly uncomfortable length of time, and touched his leg as well. But, even should this prove a little too \"close-to-the-bone\", as it were, for some viewers - fear not. There were still some classic moments, such as the sketch where the fat one wobbled his belly again, or the camp news reporter getting into all sorts of sticky situations - much to the dismay of his boss back in the studio!!\r\n\r\nI'm four episodes in now and I can't wait until next week's. I hope the fat one and the thin one do some dancing again, because that was just the bee's knees of comedy. The only complaint I have is that I could not be in the audience for the studio section - Fingers crossed for a season 2!!! <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tHollyoaks<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHollyoak's is the brainchild of Phil Redmond. Redmond has provided the British public with some of the best cutting edge drama in the last 30 years. Beginning with Grange Hill in 1978 he established what has now become a legendary national treasure depicting the trials and tribulations of teenagers in their G.C.S.E and A-Levels. He then created Brookside, which changed the story lines of British Soaps forever with its continuous devotion to depict gritty, real suburban live. A programme set in Redmond's native Liverpool that revolved around a community of adults. Then in the 1990's came Hollyoaks. This was Redmond's project to depict live of the twenty something's in Chester.\r\n\r\nOn its release in 1995 it was considered typical Redmond's style. Its depiction of real live issues was sometimes relentlessly hard to watch but in other areas it was terrifically funny. It's cast were wonderful with the emphasis was on a naturalistic performance. The writing was crisp and fresh and very inventive. It dealt in a very mature fashion with the issues depicted and its sensitive approach meant that the soap was held very high in both the public and industries eyes. But as the old cast began to move on and replacements were drafting in it became clear that the previous hard work was being replaced by glamour and over the top story lines. The new actors were looks friendly and not very talented and the acting descended from well thought out characterizations to populist acting. This consists of over the top performances throughout the episode. It is quite frustrating to see this considering whatever went before them were genuine actors and actresses. This is not helped by the over the top story lines. Since January 2006 there has been a kidnapping, incarceration of a rapist who then escapes and commits mass murder. It is now Sept 2006 and the big action packed story lines are still coming. This is not helped by the cheesy camera direction that is employed in some of the scripts. One particular sequence involved a tomato ketchup mustard shoot out involving two girls. This was shot to the style of a John Woo. Some people say this is inspirational but to me its just rubbish and it quite clearly pisses upon what Phil Redmond set out to achieve in 1995. What was a good British Soap full of characters that you would genuinely care for have now been forsaken for a more Americanised product full of whining wannabes.\r\n\r\nIn it's time it has tread some ground that has met Phil Redmond's brief of Realism. The most powerful storyline to date was the male rape of Luke Morgan. This was the last time that Hollyoaks generated such a response from the public. Many of whom welcomed such a topic that had until then been swept under the carpet as a taboo issue. Since then the cheese has been processed weekly and distributed on a daily basis. In the film The Insider the Christopher Plummer character says in relation to media \" You will only be remembered for what you did last night \". If this statement is true I really hope Phil Redmond has another ace up his sleeve because at the moment it looks like Hollyoaks current mediocrity will be remembered. 4 out of 10.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tFootballers' Wives<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA show like Footballer's Wives could go very wrong in the wrong hands. Thanksfully that is not the case with this classic British series. It's one of the few dramas on television that does not take it's audience for granted.\r\n\r\nIt's sort of female centric and with good reason -- it's produced, directed and written by women. And it shows. The characters are well drawn and the male leads are wickedly positioned from the feminine point of view.\r\n\r\nDon't miss this show! It's one of the best soaps opera dramas ever on TV. Unfortunately U.S. citizens can only see it on BBC America or by buying the DVD sets. If you go the DVD route, try to buy the UK versions, if your player can handle it. Those contain juicy extra disks not on the American versions!! I heard this show may have been canceled. If that's true it's really too bad. it then 5 years is a good run by any standard. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tUnderbelly<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe connection between Sopranos and this series is not far-fetched. Like that show it shows a life of crime and how these gangsters deal with their family. After having seen five episodes more depth is shown and it gets real clear that things will get very nasty indeed. The acting by the cast is superb. And it was good to see Calvan Mulvey (Heartbreak High) return in a much more mature role. What I liked especially in this show that it doesn't exactly choose sides. It is not just about the police getting the bad guys. They also show that even the gangsters have their morals and aren't entirely evil as most people would have us believe. But it doesn't glamorize the life of crime either. When necessary it does show the impact of the crimes committed. Excellent show!<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tBurke & Wills<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis is the first film made by the young Australian directing-writing-acting team of Matthew Zeremes and Oliver Torr, who are also the founders of the Sydney theatre group Cake. Boasting brilliant moments of awkward realism, sharp, imaginative dialogue and a rich, tightly focused line in dark humour, this low budget wonder announces two very exciting talents to watch. As the lazy but spirited Wills and depressed loner Burke, Zeremes and Torr, respectively, give dynamic performances, while both their script and direction are top notch. And no, it has nothing to do with the famous Australian explorers. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tLa venexiana<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe director Mauro Bolognini has some experience of historical movies and you can see this in this late-Renaissance movie set at the canals of Venice and he has also experience with love-stories. This movie written with the help of Massimo Franciosa lacks the grandeur of a Luchino Visconti but at no moment one gets the impression of being bored. Laura Antonelli is very good as Angela and she looks like an angel just as in the other movie L'Innocent (1976) but why is she closing the windows of her apartment when her lover (Jason Connery - he has no name in the movie!) is throwing stones into her room? The mores of the time when the doge is allowing the prostitutes to show their breasts, and the young noblemen throwing fish at them, are explored and the question remains what the life of an older (but still young), rich widow must heave been in Venice at the end of the 15th century. It is not surprising that such a woman is glowed with fire when she can see from her room a young man p***ing in the canal. The sex-scenes in the movie are good and made with taste; there is even a scene where Angela is near of having a sexual affair with her servant who tries to console her mistress. This story of a one night, two lovers affair remembers me of the Decamerone because of its freshness and sweetness. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tSkins<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI disagree with all those who say this is a teen-only drama. When I first saw the trailers and accompanying hype, I steered clear of it as it looked like yet another teen programme. But then I watched the second episode, about Cassie the anorexic, and was hooked. It managed to be both funny and touching - so much so that I cried at the end.\r\n\r\nIt's a lot like Teachers in its sense of humour, and it has its location, Bristol, in common with Teachers. It's a shame it isn't on at an earlier time, as the script is wonderful and the characters so well drawn. Plus the performances by the young cast are extremely professional.\r\n\r\nI think good drama appeals to all ages, and I'm light years outside the target demographic for this. So I'd like to encourage the more mature viewer to give it a go - especially if you were a fan of Teachers - and you won't regret it.\r\n\r\n9 out of 10 as it's the most entertaining and, unfortunately, realistic youth drama to appear on the telly since As If. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tFree Agents<\/a>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter a one night stand between colleagues Alex and Helen, thinks immediately get awkward, not helped at all by Alex's uncanny ability to say the wrong thing or suggest the wrong motivations for his actions. It doesn't help that he is going through a divorce and needs somewhere to sleep or that Helen is grieving on the one year anniversary of her husband's death. Helen offers Alex her sofa if she helps the actor boyfriend of her mother and, with the only other option being the spare room of his pervert boss, Alex has little choice.\r\n\r\nShown as part of the Comedy Showcase films on Channel 4 recently, this film is considerably darker and more foul mouthed than many of the other films. The plot is a complex adult situation that draws its humour from the extremity of Alex and Helen's lives with those around them. I would compare its awkward style of humour with The Office but it is not really grounded in reality in the way that and other comedies of its ilk are. This doesn't mean though that it isn't funny though because it is rather thanks to the writing, which puts flesh on the unlikely scenarios. In this way it is enjoyably crude and adult \u2013 not the smartest or cleverest thing you'll ever see but it is funny nevertheless.\r\n\r\nThe cast do help a lot because their reactions and performances are key in making it work. Mangan is solid in the title role and he works well with Horgan, who has a harder character to work with but does well to keep it reasonably convincing within the world of the film. Tomelty and Barber are OK but the film is rather dominated by a well-observed \"pervert boss\" turn from Head who gets more foulmouthed as the film goes on.\r\n\r\nNot that inspired as a comedy but it is still funny if you let yourself be taken in by the exaggerated sexual and foulmouthed sense of humour. <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

And back in 2002, I even watched the newer version. Just before I moved to BC, when I lived in Manitoba, I even discovered the first season of Home & Away. I should get the first season of Home & Away, just like that I got the first season of Fame on DVD. I always love home and away. I used to find that show MOST ADORABLE!

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNow that we have your attention -- yes, there's actually quite a bit of attractive, hippie-ish, naked romping in this film, which flashbacks a lot. The same actors play themselves at 30-ish as well as ten years before -- quite authentically, it's not just lighting, their very movements say \"young\". A haunting tale, full of the carelessness of youth and the fear of discovery now that middle age, pride of place, and self-created family have begun to appear.
