Enough of the Doctor meeting
the companions as children! I get that the Smith-Doctor is supposed to exist in
fairytale environment (rather than the sci-fi/drama/realism environment of
Tennant and Eccleston), but change up the opening. He always accidentally runs
into the new companion as a child, so she has a reason to be fascinated by him
for a good couple of decades before she meets him again; the formula is getting
old, so old that I knew who that little girl on the swing was as soon as she
sat down!! The Easter return of the show had better be good; and there’d better
be no dinosaurs!
Les Miserables.
This is without a doubt one of
the worst films I’ve ever seen. Sure the songs are good, but aside from Hugh
Jackman’s character, no one gets developed beyond “in this movie.”
Epic tale of love and
rebellion my arse. This is story about a man skipping parole and an overzealous
Police officer, with a rebellion and love story happening in the background,
but acting as though they’ve been happening the whole time. On that point, the
love story is the laziest kind of love story there is; they are two characters that
find each other similarly physically attractive and barely speak to one
another.
Russell Crowe is horribly
miscast and the only good thing about his appearance in he film is the sound effect
his body makes when he commits suicide, as a result a result of being an absolute
moron.
To summerise, this is a film
(not unlike James Cameron’s Titanic) that is all about spectacle, rather than
substance. It has been continually marketed as an epic about love and
rebellion, when really all it is, is a story about Hugh Jackman skipping parole
and being pursued by what appears to be the only police officer in France.
