Celluloid yawn

This has got to be the worst summer in living memory for films. I cannot remember any films that i have enjoyed this summer. Crash was the outstanding summer film, the foreign offerings, documentaries have all sucked this year. Just what is going on?

The summer no brainer pop corn films have also been crap. The diet consisted of remakes, and comedies. I wish the London film festival has some outstanding films- the constant gardener- especially those of the foreign variety.

Ashes bores: Basta ya!

Yes, England have won the Ashes. They have beaten the best team in the world(no mean feat, considering they languished at the bottom of test ranking 6 years ago) but please, lets not any more of it.
Yesterday's media coverage was akin to a world cup triumph. The open top bus to Trafalgar sq, the incessant live reports od drunken players- Freddie Flitoff- and the soporific questions asked time and again. No wonder people hate the English around the world.

It's over, on terrestrial telly and Benaud has retired, Murdoch has got his grubby mitts on the live cricket next summer. The momentum and euphoria of the ashes will be forgotten by next summer when the world cup begins......I hope sky have lousy viewing figures.
