People revel in films, so why not think about swinging by the capital & hang out in lots of the locations in the film? London surfaces in all sorts of really well known films and now, for over ten decades, the city has welcomed in elite film artists to make their films in. London is an example of the world’s most known of and world class filming venues. There exist central hotspots for film making located in the capital; quite a few of the most known of spots are shot again and again. Many of the best movie professionals, from past & present, are Londoners. Celebrated movies have been set around this city & routinely receive cracking reviews.

The city is the third busiest production centre anywhere. Behind LA and also New York, Westminster is considered to be the foremost town with 2200 filming days shot for ‘05. Furthermore to London’s movies there are London’s movie festivals. Such festivals happen every year on around the a similar day. They’re pretty varying, so that there is a festival for everybody. There’s more than sixty picture festivals simply in London and such festivals represent each one of the metropolis’s unique cultural mixes. The festivals vary from Africa to conspiracies, thrillers to digital and the list simply keeps growing.

One of the greatest considerations relating to London’s film scene, are the actual movie theatres themselves. Amidst the poor pits are superb movie houses that will doubtless help you adore the movie. This metropolis offers you well over 5 hundred silver screens, and these range from top notch film houses, for instance, Vue & the Odeon, that will put on the recent films and also blockbuster hits, over to the small scale cinemas that there are cosy and also also present masterpieces and also cultural films, conceivably ones which would never be released at mainstream movie houses. If you’re planning a day at the cinema then check the film times with Time Out

There are also movie houses at the moment that give a more offbeat experience from your everyday film houses. You’ll revel in your flick in the comfort of a settee or maybe an armchair; you also get to get nosh from stewards. There appear to be one or two of these establishments dotted around. The Roxy Bar and Screen is a pleasing choice placed near to the trendy Borough Market. The place is considered to be an assimilation of indie movies, an elegant bar area & a restaurant. The Electric Cinema which is located in the borough of Kensington has shown flicks for many years and now, puts on a combination of cultured films coupled with the finest of the mainstream. Along with comfy leather seating, its footstools and not forgetting the bar area to the very back, you’re going to rejoice in seeing absolutely any picture. Rex Cinema is found in the Soho region in London & is acclaimed as one of the coolest establishments to visit. Baring in mind the cinema’s cosiness and the cocktails to delight in, this movie theatre is thought to be a cinema you’ll have to scout out.

It is forever bound to be challenging, deciding which flick to go and watch at the cinema, all the same, the contentment of a first-rate location invariably improves everyone’s entertainment.

I hate girls. Sometimes I get girlfriends but I don’t usually stick along as they do my head in slightly, but recently my mate has been going out with this girl that has the most mental pink car. This pink mini has all the trademarks of a good car, but in the wrong way. It has a wiked sound system including pink car speakers, but then the interior is leopard print. I might have been appreciative of the lift home had the seats not been so disgusting too look at…ah well I suppose a girl cant have it all..taste and a pink car at least..

Online bookmakers are now accepting bets on what the name of their child will be for those in the know this is an opportunity to make a bit of money and have a bit of fun. Recent rumors suggest that the child will be a boy, Holmes sparked off the rumor after she was seen buying up loads of blue baby clothes. A source was quoted in The Sun as saying: “Katie didn’t even look at any of the clothes or toys for girls.” so now that we have this inside information we will focus on finding the winning bet.

The current favorites in the betting market are: Katie (8/1) & Thomas (8/1) but we feel that naming the child Thomas would be seen as arrogant by the Tom cruise sceptics, and our inside info suggests that it will be a boy, so we will look beyond Katie.

AMUSING POSSIBLE NAMES

Bookmakers always try and have a bit of fun in these novelty markets and the Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes betting market is no exception:

500/1 Iceman

500/1 Goose

150/1 Elvis Presley

I think it is fair to say we can rule out Nicole at 100/1 and also Penelope at 100/1. So where can we make some money from the Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes road show? We quite like the possibility of the name: Lee (12/1) or Cass (16/1) but we recommend keeping your ear to the ground for any new possible info over the coming few weeks. The market will close on Saturday the 4th March so if you want to see the full list of possibilities then click the link in this article source.

With all the free publicity this couple have received over the past year it is about time the general public made some money from them as well, this is your chance.

I have a system for rating movies that reflects probably more about my age than anything else. It’s simple: both eyes wide open (great), both eyes open (good), one eye open (fair), both eyes closed (poor), and both eyes shut tight (terrible). It is all based on whether or not I fall asleep. Dismissing for this purpose the movie Hostel (a body part festival that received the unique rating “both eyes shut so tight you’d need a crow bar to open them”), I have seen three movies that put me to sleep faster than a mouth full of Ambien.

The movies I’m referring to are: I Love Trouble (1994; Julia Roberts, Nick Nolte), I Heart Huckabee (2004; Dustin Hoffman, Jude Law, Naomi Watts), and most recently, Must Love Dogs (2005; Diane Lane, John Cusack). Of the three, ‘I Love Trouble’ has the distinct recognition of being the only movie I had to leave before it ended because I was snoring too loudly. Given that I probably see three movies in a theater a year, I have amassed an incredible track record for picking real gems.

The reason I am talking about this at all is because many years ago I wrote two movie scripts, both mediocre, both better than these three produced scripts, none of the bunch worthy of production and release. I am under the delusion that somehow that qualifies me to speak about such matters knowledgeably. Believe me, it is a delusion, one that years of psychoanalysis will soon eradicate.

When one considers only 208 movies were released in 1994 (558/2004, 579/2005), reflects on the inflated budgets required to pay the top tier actors to act interested, and contemplates the tens of thousands of scripts available, one has to ask why are these movies ever dumped on us? Within each film’s first ten minutes, the standard industry time allowed to set the hook, it is clear that the scripts are baitless, the actors bored, the directors inebriated, and the producers heavily sedated.

In every case, the lifeless action, drifting directionless along an undetectable plot line on a swirling sea of incoherent dialogue among improbable characters, plods ahead for ninety minutes—eighty if you are lucky. The only thoughts that keep me awake are about the insane minds of those who proclaimed these flicks were ready for public consumption. The idea that two months into production someone in charge actually concluded ‘hey, we’ve got something here’ always baffles me, preventing me, for awhile longer anyway, from dozing off. Then I start to think of the taglines, hype, interviews and trailers that fooled me into paying to see the piece of crap, and I begin to feel anger. Soon my eyes glaze over, my lids slowly shut, and my head tilts, rolls and lifts suddenly in a useless attempt to stay awake. I imagine my own movie in which I play a jackal hired by a group of ripped off theater goers to assassinate those responsible. I drift off to sleep, my clients’ last demand ‘and use your imagination’ lingering in my final thoughts. Before I succumb to peace, an ounce of drool leaks from the corner of my grin as I dream of car batteries, golden copper wires and shiny steel prods.

The last such movie, “Must Love Dogs”, I must confess I viewed the DVD version at home, paying top dollar for the privilege. When I woke from a particularly satisfying dream in which I was ripping John Cusack’s toenails off using the corner of the DVD case dipped Tabasco Chipotle Sauce, I turned off the silent blue menu screen. The word ‘menu’ burned into the plasma panel. I must have been out for hours.

Once my senses returned, I grabbed the case and read the back panel to double check that I had read the review correctly.

“… Must Love Dogs has the affable, cuddly charm that its title so hopefully invokes.” - Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

Apparently Ann saw a different movie, possibly one by a different title. Maybe she saw ‘Must Love Getting Paid to Write Good Things About Movies That Are Dogs’, yeah that one. She certainly didn’t see the one I saw. The one I saw was unwatchable.

I just don’t get it. It even made money. It cost $35,000,000 to make and has brought in more than $59,000,000 at the box office (add in the DVD take and it really borders on a crime).

How does that happen?

I don’t know. I must be thinking all wrong about this stuff. On the other hand, I can’t help but think that my movie dream about the jackal hired to rub out these crooks isn’t such a bad idea. Maybe the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite could play the lead. I already have a long list of targets.
