Film and TV review.

xmiles wrote:Yeah it's not got the pacing of 24 and I'm disappointed that there is a second series. It would be nice if it was wrapped up at the end of this series. I'll probably keep watching it though - it helps that I find Claire Danes so attractive.

There is a season 2 being made as we speak. Damian Lewis (Brody) was on Graham Norton the other week and confirmed Clare Danes was in it but wouldn't say whether he was or he wasn't.

Am I the only one who thinks Homeland is crap? I watched the first three episodes and gave up. Boring. 24 had more action in 30 seconds than Homeland had in 3 hours.

It's got the same tone and mood of 24 the post 9/11 thing the high threat levels etc but if you go in expecting a real time action packed 24 clone you're bound to be disappointed.

True, but you've got to have some great dialogue to sustain the lack of action - I don't think it has it. Maybe I'm just a bit dim!

Yeah i wouldn't say it had masterful dialogue like Six Feet Under or Mad Men/The Wire i just think it's a really enjoyable show.

but not for everyone granted.

I have found Homeland a bit slow as well. This new show with Keifer, called Touch sounds interesting but it's Crimewatch at 9pm for me.

i watched 6 feet under for the first two series and loved it - then it seemed to lose its way and i gave up.

I wouldn't say I have lost interest in Homeland altogether but there just isn't enough going on. on a week by week basis to grip me.

Once it's released on DVD I will buy it and watch them all in one go.

Not really a fan of X Factor sort of stuff but the newest serries started last night and these two are certainly worth a listen - the fat boy can certainly sing!

Great performance, glad that kid shut smug cowell assuming he'd be shit cos he was a fatty.

I thought the young Meatloaf clone was brilliant but he needs to go on a diet. Pavarotti died prematurely because he was a salad dodger. Nobody should be walking around that big at seventeen. Have his parents never been told about healthy options ?

P.S. I watched Avatar for the first time tonight. Really enjoyed watching it on my new telly. Great visual effects and although the ending was obvious, I still enjoyed it.

Did anybody see Titanic, tonight?

I can't stress how badly written/acted is. I'm in shock! I'm never getting that hour of my life back!

I gave it until the first ad break. Rubbish.

Aye, it was a big let down with the hype which the media and ITV have given it.

I know it follows different people every week so they have to do the episode rather quickly but it they skipped over parts of it too fast, one minute they are a mile away from the iceberg then in the next scene the workers below deck are being hit by the water.

Just watched the finale of 'The Walking Dead' on FX. Flicked through most of it. The special effects are magnificent but the story is pants. Yet they leave you with a decent cliffhanger so I'll be back for season 3.

I'm going to buy the full boxset of Season 2. I thoroughly enjoyed season one.

In Benidorm tonight, Madge arranges to marry Mohammed. I think they might be stretching it a bit but I am looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

Tonight is Dexter night. It's like an old friend is coming to visit me after years away.

I couldn't find any Monster Munch, so it's a jumbo bag of smarties and a couple of cans of Pepsi.

Has aonyone watched a 4 parter on bbc one called ''One Night'', caught the last episode last night and it was some hard hitting stuff but really good.

Not seen it. Tonight it's the Voice followed by BGT, Take me out and MOTD.
