Wind Chill
Friday 27 June 2008
Starring Emily Blunt, Ashton Holmes, Marting Donovan and Chelan Simmons. Directed by Gregory Jacobs. Produced by George Clooney, among others.
Apparently this film didn’t go down too well when it was released, but i think it’s a cracker!! It’s a thriller about a college student (Emily Blunt) who shares a ride home with a classmate (Ashton Holmes) and discovers en route that he isn’t who he claims to be. But it’s not that predictable and, as the snow thickens and he decides to take a shortcut off the highway, they are hit by another car and become stranded in the snow. And then it gets really scary. Well, I’m quite hard to please when it comes to horror / thriller films, but this really surprised me and that’s what it’s all about really. Better than The Orphanage.

I need help finding a hotel in the south / south
east of Belgium. Fruitless internet searches have
revealed nothing so I thought I’d post this in the
hope of anyone stumbling across it. I’m not looking
for a city centre hotel, maybe something in a
smallish town, with good beer and good food readily
available. So, if you can help, please contact
Lullyweb.

TV

I'm as proud of my country as the next woman, but
when it comes to good TV dramas, the US has it
nailed. The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and
House are just three to
prove my point. The latest I've become
addicted to (thanks to Stiffrook and iTunes) is Dexter. Yet
another well-written, character-driven show
which leaves you begging for more at the end
of each episode. Why is the US so good at
this? Or more to the point, why are we not?
I'm not denying that we have our fair share of
good TV, but it's mostly comedy isn't it? Can
you name a good, current, long-standing
British drama series? I can't. So I turn to
American TV and it never lets me down.
