Fanatical about film?

These movies are marvellous in my view. They are cutting edge, funny, dramatic and just overall really great films. I'm frenzied about motion pictures and to refrain from making an overstatement I watch at least one a day without fail. Three on a really good day. Anyway, the following movies are my favourite and I wish to bestow my list upon you.

#10: Forgetting Sarah Marshall
#9: Back To The Future
#8: American Beauty
#7: True Romance
#6: Human Traffic
#5: Goodfellas
#4: Se7en
#3: Reservoir Dogs
#2: Donnie Darko

The list of movies prior to this are outstanding and I would undoubtedly recommend any number of them. But now for the grand slam of my ideal movies. The Holy Grail of major motion pictures. The number one.

#1: Fight Club
This twisty dramatic thriller keeps you on your toes and is layered more than an onion. Pitt and Norton make quite the duo, or quite the individual if you know what I'm getting at. Not to mention a groundbreaking performance by Helena Bonham Carter. Once you've seen this film you realise that psychedelic themed movies can in fact be rather spectacular and joyful. Trust me, this film reigns supreme and is definitely worth watching.

And The Award Goes To...

The Silver Spoon Committee of Footballing Excellence - this prestigious party govern when to reward a player for their excellent effort and of course their excellent footballing ability. This award is given to the best of the best every week and is what all players require for that little bit of respect which will grant them access to the holy committee. The Silver Spoon award is alike other awards; the world cup trophy, an Olympic gold medal and a Victoria cross. This award dignifies any person to win it and should be recognised as the pinnacle of playing like a pro.
Today, I was lucky enough to be selected as the best player of the day and to be awarded with the Spoon. Scoring five goals and to be smashed to the ground by the mighty Titan is surely worthy of the Silver Spoon in any one's books. From hereon I can say that I won the Spoon and that I was the best on that day. Next week it is my duty to select another to become a committee member and to hold their hands up high with the grand Spoon. I wish the greatest luck to the future candidates and I'm sure the best man will without shadow of a doubt win.

Grant me some Hugh

Hugh Grant is notably the summing up for an English man. It's startling how much of an unconventional lead can in fact become so. Hugh, being charming and charismatic enforces the viewer to dismiss their regard for a chiseled and buff brute of a man and to just relax and accept that perhaps he may not fluster you, but he will surely allow for you to laugh and fall in love with him - platonically speaking.
Mr. Grant himself may not be referable as a 'looker' but that does not refrain him from looking per se. Some of Hollywood's most beautiful leading actresses such as Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock and Drew Barrymore have also been struck by the tea drinking charmer. Hugh Grant can dazzle a screen and instantaneously make a seemingly awful picture rather spectacular solely by his graceful presence and unofficial catchphrase, 'bugger'.
Needless to say, Hugh is presumably the apex of a traditional English actor who also is just a bloke who can indisputably whoo a girl or two. Well done Hugh and keep up the good work.

Can I have that in American please?


America often disregard the quality and impact of a great television show and stride towards the quantity in an attempt to be the biggest name on tv and win the ratings. It would appear that our British humour does in fact interest the yanks on the other side of the pond. But must the Americans twist and remodel our home born programmes and make them bigger and better which America so often assure. First the English visionary David Brent was transformed into the American office manager Michael Scott which lost all of the character's English charm and wit. The cult classic Fawlty Towers created by the British Monty Python member John Cleese was remade a staggering three times by America until all attempts failed and diminished into yet another Brit hit, Yank wank.
Other American remakes inspired by true British talent include; The Vicar of Dibley - which again was cancelled due to the lack of comedy understanding by the 'I can't be bothered to think, I just want to be entertained' Americans. Men Behaving Badly, One Foot in the Grave and Life on Mars are to name a few examples of British treasure that widdle away under the strain of the stars and stripes. Therefore, perhaps British television should remain British and refrain from becoming an American washout, as Great Britain does it a tremendous amount better.
