Happy Face

Fox Confessor has its first win My number one by far.

Onibaba – 1964 Japanese horror about a woman and her daughter in law who kill deserting soldiers in order to sell their armour to buy food for survival.. When a friend of the womens son/husband returns alone claiming their loved one is dead, the wife takes it better than the mother. Highly sexual but ridden with repressive guilt, it’s very interesting. http://www.criterionco.com/asp/release.asp...p;section=essay Sophie Scholl – German film nominated for best foreign film at last years Oscars, follows the arrest and trial of the eponymous member of the White Rose resistance movement during WW2. Tsotsi won the Oscar, but as much as I liked that film, it’s overtly sentimental ending loses it the edge in my opinion when compared to this. Julia Jentsch is brilliant. Highly recommended, the interrogation scenes are particularly good. Offside – Iranian film centered around the qualifier between Iran and Bahrain to decide qualification for the German World Cup. The match is only seen in the background and the main thrust is the story of the women caught while attempting to watch the match, and the guards forced to watch them rather than the game (It’s illegal for Iranian women to go to the match). Surprisingly funny.

I thought the best action scene was the first one involving the crane.. Which one do you mean? The very same. I wasn't that impressed with Casino Royale, but to say that scene was stolen from True Lies is bollocks. It's got a crane in it, that's as far as the similarity goes. And people walking along cranes and almost falling off cranes and jumping of cranes onto other precariously balanced surfaces.

Sunday 03/12 School of Rock Ch4 8pm I remember thinking the ending was really shit, but the rest of it was as funny as anything Jack Black has done (apart from the Tenacious D tv show). Zoolander Ch4 10.05pm Everyone tells me it's funny. Bonnie and Clyde ITV3 10.10pm Warren Beatty and Faye Dunnaway star in the film that kick started the seventies in US cinema, some would say the best period it ever went through. Hannah and her Sisters BBC1 10.55pm Haven't seen it. Woody Allen film that won a few Oscars iirc, so it might be canny. Sid and Nancy ITV4 11pm Gary Oldman is normally brilliant, but in this he's especially brilliant. Backstage BBC2 12pm Documentary on rap stars made in 2000. Never seen or heard of it, but fans of Jay-Z, DMX, Method Man, Redman, Ja Rule, Damon Dash etc. might find something they like.

Tonight I saw Casino Royale. I've always hated Bond. There was never a best Bond. They were all shite. Daniel Craig isn't shite though. He's very entertaining when he's chasing baddies and tcb. But the reason is, he's just doing Jack Bauer. The big new direction for Bond is to change him from a ladies man to a man's man. The approach of chasing clue after clue without giving the audience any idea what's being chased was 24ry in the extreme. The best bit of action was taken largley from True Lies and that last 45 minutes dragged interminably. Still, the best Bond I've seen. Not terrible, just....average, nothing new at all. Got home and put on Dave Chappelle's Block Party and that perked me right up. I implore you, one and all to go and rent it, download it, buy it, borrow it, whatever. A magnificent film. It's just a live concert he puts on in a Brooklyn neighbourhood, but it should inspire more disadvantaged blacks than all Spike Lee's films combined. No preachiness, no blame, no excuses, no hate just the message that EVERYONE can do what they want to do with their life, just make the right choices for yourself.

Get the radio times out yourself man Started at 9pm American Werewolf starts at 10 though, if you'd prefer to watch something from the start. Inside Deep Throat is on at 11.40pm on More4 too. MOTD 10.15 Parky 10.30 Saturday is great TV.

Actually there's loads of quality on. National Geographic - The 39 Steps Artsworld - DEavid Bowie Live Living - Charlies Angels Film 4 - Trading Places. Hard to choose.

The hundred greatest movie stars is on E4. List shows are always good if they aren't on channel 5.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/livingicons/vote/ I like most of them but not a huge fan of any of them tbh. There's not many brilliant British people alive any more. Funny Michael Crawford was voted the 17th greatest Briton ever (2nd living in the list) and got nowhere near this list.

Thats a cracking deal. I wont stray away from Nokia again either. I've had a change of heart tbh. The size and weight (not to mention age) of it have put me off so I'm going to return it as soon as it arrives, shame to lose the 4 Gig memory, but I'll still be using my ipod anyway. Vodafone have said they'll keep me on the same plan and send me a free N73 (normally £150 up) which is basically the same as the Sony Ericsson K800i but is preferable because every twunt is getting a Sony Ericsson K800i, it's a Nokia and it's symbian. http://www.3g.co.uk/PR/April2006/2978.htm

A Dicksons Pork Shop double saveloy with everything. mmmm!

Just got me a N91 http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/nokia-n91.htm looks to me like the best free Nokia available at the minute. I once tried a Non-nokia, I was lost for 12 months.

Pan's Labyrinth Canny good.

Can't be arsed at the minute, but Shadow Of a Doubt is on tomorrow at 12.50pm on ITV1. Isn't it amazing how Alf Hitchcock has the same silhouette as Alf Roberts.

Absoloutely superb.

Apparently, you can send the bailiffs around.

Singin In The Rain Like Amelie and Moulin Rouge I just grinned from ear to ear from start to finish. Pre-emptive

I haven't started yet. They advise you to have another bank account set up in case the bank get annoyed with you causing bother and close your existing account. But to open a new account these days you have to pay your wages into it so I'd have to change over my direct debits and it's a lot of palava. I've got mates who've had 2 charges a month every month for the last 6 years so this was for people like them really. I've probably only had one or 2 charges a year and none for a couple of years. When I did get charged I usually kicked off at the time and got a refund. Might enquire as to the total I've paid like, just to see if it is worth while. Can't do any harm.

Unlike many "special edition" and “director’s cut” movies released over the years, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut is essentially a completely new film. As much as half of the film contains never-before seen material filmed by Donner, including 15 minutes of restored Marlon Brando scenes as Superman's father Jor-El as well as numerous new Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder scenes. There are also several newly-filmed shots with CGI enhancements. Richard Donner is credited as director of the film instead of Richard Lester—the original credited director of Superman II. More than half of Lester's footage filmed for Superman II has been removed from the film and replaced with Donner footage shot during the original principal photography from 1977-1978. Certain footage filmed by Richard Lester remains in sequences that were not shot by Donner due to the halt in production for this film. http://www13.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2.p...amp;siteid=1063
