Trailer for Burke and Hare I'd have prefered it to be less of a comedy if I'm honest. But it's John Landis! ;D I'm really looking forward to this. Big Landis fan (though less so of his wildly patch 90s output). I just saw the trailer on Entertainment Weekly's website -- it looks hilarious; plus, I like Wilkinson, Serkis and Pegg.  |

I'm looking forward to a weekend full of film viewing...
On the 'to watch' list is:
Last Resort - I found this unopened among my dvd's, I'm not even sure where it's come from. It's got Paddy in it so it must be good surely?
Mean Streets - Purchased last week. I haven't seen this since I was a teenager.
Made in Britain - Another purchase last week, which I haven't seen since I was a youngster. Is that Bob Cryer from the Bill?
The Dogtanian Boxset... yes I really do have this. It was a present honestly.

I also watched Pawel Pawlikowski My Summer of Love a little while back. Paddy is good in it, but I didn't post on it because overall I really didn't like the film. Maybe unfair, because they are really very different films, but because of the subject matter, I couldn't help comparing it to Heavenly Creatures, which is a much better film. MSoL won a BAFTA though, so what do I know. |

Jill,
I saw Summer of Love a good while back but remember feeling that it lacked something. I got onto it because I'd been impressed by Natalie Press in Andrea Arnold's short film The Wasp, which despite having Danny Dyer on board was excellent. The Wasp then led me onto the superb Red Road, (featuring Kate Dickie from Somers Town) which i found thoroughly engrossing from start to finish. In fact I think I'll hire it out from the library later for another viewing.
Criminally I haven't seen Heavenly Creatures but I'll keep an eye out for it too.

I'm replying to you in the form of a spoiler on a film you've yet to see!! Ha. You can read on I think, since it's more on the broad theme of the film, not the specifics of the chracters/plot etc. *SPOILERS-SUMMER OF LOVE AND HEAVENLY CREATURES* Yes, 'lacking something' is spot on, I think. I think for me, it was the early reference to Nietzsche that put me off. If it was designed to forewarn us that one of the characters was amoral and saw others as a toy for their own amusement, it was unnecessary. I also think there's been a trend towards exploring nihilism in films-sometimes its done really well (e.g. Naked), sometime not. Either way, its a total turn off for me, so maybe this is just about my own preferences and prejudices. That said, I thought the end was completely crap-that mock drowning attack, which had about as much dramatic impact as watching toddlers playing about in a paddling pool and the total lack of resolution in the story from the PoV of the working class girl. The only real similarity between the two films is that they're both about teenage lesbian relationships and both have a dark under-current. Heavenly Creatures is based on a true story, which adds to the dark fascination-compelling, but uncomfortabl experience. Also there is a fantasy element to the story that is represented imaginatively and quite brilliantly on screen. Both actresses (including Winslett in her debut film) are absolutely stunning. See it Clayman! *SPOILER ENDS* Haven't seen The Wasp, but will now look out for it. I liked Red Road. Am I right in thinking it's part of a triology? Anyway, the 'follow up' film premiered in Edinburgh this year and was by all accounts disappointing-pity. |

I can imagine this, but it still seems a bit odd.... Martin Freeman has been confirmed to play Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit! www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-11604193There's also the very slight possibility that it'll be filmed in the UK! |

That's a great choice! He's an excellent actor, and looks the part too! |

The films you cannot wait to see... anything! We've been living at my mum and dad's for the last month whilst we do up our new gaff. Therefore would be happy to see anything that isn't Downton Abbey or Celebrity Family Fortunes. Pity poor me.
