The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Saturday, and after a busy week I thought I’d fancy some escapist relaxation at the movies. I thought there’d be plenty to see but I was sure Revolutionary Road wouldn’t be a bundle of laughs and Slumdog Millionaire was already full. So, I was reluctantly ‘persuaded’ to choose The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and I was glad I went, as I loved it!

Revolutionary Road

I went to see Revolutionary Road last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the chemistry between Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio was absolutely brilliant, both playing out the frustration and angst of their individual characters with perfect poise and precision.

Best Left To The Family Album?

Family Album

Having watched Rude Tube’s Top 50 countdown of the most popular YouTube video clips on Channel 4 last Friday (2 Jan 2009) I was quite shocked when they revealed the winner to be ‘Charlie Bit My Finger’ – a clip of a toddler called Charlie biting the finger of his 3 year old brother Harry. Apparently, the clip has received over 73 million hits in the year since it was first posted by the boys’ father in January 2008. He claimed in his TV interview with Richard and Judy (August 2008) that the reason for posting it on YouTube in the first place was to share it with relatives in America.

The Dividing Factor

Saturday night arrives and another evening of sitting at home watching the very best of reality TV entertainment awaits. A heavenly prospect for me – a hellish proposition for my partner who can be heard screaming ‘I’m not a celebrity – get me out of here!’ Never mind going down the pub to watch football, he would rather accompany my grandmother to bingo or babysit for the psycho twins at no.24, anything in fact rather than have to suffer the simultaneous anguish and rapture of the X factor contestants as they stand side-by-side to their mentors each week, waiting to discover whether the good old voting public has finally put a dead end to their road to riches – their ultimate journey to stardom. Just hearing the word ‘journey’ uttered from one of their starry-eyed speeches describing their heart-wrenching experience so far is enough to set him spitting and writhing in protest. And that’s without even mentioning the judges!
