Every year, Strictly Come Dancing returns to glitz up our Saturday nights... and every year, fans are treated to another movie special.
First introduced in 2014, Strictly’s Movie Week sees the contestants perform a selection of dances inspired by the biggest Hollywood blockbusters, with comedy, action and kids films all being given the Strictly treatment over the years.
But what makes for a really good Movie Week performance? Looking the part is obviously key, and you can always expect this theme to bring out some of the best hair, make-up and costumes that Strictly has to offer.
Ultimately, however, it’s the dancing being marked, with the best performances managing to show off the celebrity’s skill – something they often haven’t quite found yet, with Movie Week usually coming around the third week in the competition – while also featuring choreography that captures the essence of the films they’re paying tribute to.

Stars: Vinne Jones, James Clayton, Lina Lecompte, Danny Mac | Written by Cooper Bibaud, Danny Mac | Directed by James Clayton
I’m not quite sure which is the least imaginative, calling an action film Death Pursuit or casting Vinne Jones as a psychotically violent criminal. James Clayton went with both in his directorial debut and that should have sent up more red flags than a text message from an ex.
Death Pursuit opens in a scrapyard as some goons are executing what I presume are rival goons. While they’re doing that The Thief slips in and helps himself to stacks of cash that are just sitting there unguarded. His exit is a little more complicated and he ends up fleeing in a car that has Mia the pregnant wife of Temple (Vinnie Jones) the man he just ripped off, hidden in the trunk.

For his latest video review, Kev is back in the booth to check out Vinnie Jones’ latest direct-to-market action flick Death Pursuit, also known as Bullet Proof; which is directed by James Clayton and written by Danny Mac.
After stealing millions in cash from sadistic mob boss Temple’s drug-dealing hideout, a thief finds a stowaway in his getaway car: Temple’s pregnant wife, Mia. Desperate to reclaim his cash, and his unborn son, Temple sends out a squad of hit men and bounty hunters to bring in Mia and the thief. Speed, cleverness, and good aim give the duo a brief advantage, but how long will their luck hold out?...

For years, Strictly Come Dancing has been providing TV audiences with Saturday night entertainment and some truly unforgettable performances.
First airing in 2004 with Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly as hosts, Strictly seemed like a celebrity reality TV show like any other.
But, the show soon became a huge national and international hit, with everyone from politicians to YouTubers taking on the challenge of learning to ballroom dance.
Along the way, there have been some performances you just can’t forget regardless of whether they’re worthy of a perfect 40 or burnt onto your brain for all the wrong reasons.
From the very best to the very, very worst, here are 12 of Strictly’s most memorable moments.
Ed Balls does “Gangnam Style”
When Ed Balls of “tweeting his own name” fame was announced as a contestant, it was assumed that he would be a joke act eliminated in one of the first weeks.

There are worse things to which you could fall asleep in a drunken stupor than James Clayton’s zippy directorial debut
Actor-producer James Clayton’s directorial debut features himself as a criminal without a name (he’s just called “The Thief”) but with a code of honour of sorts, stubble and an attractively croaky baritone voice. When he nicks a wodge of cash from a criminal gang led by Temple and steals a car from one of Temple’s underlings, he finds a surprise in the trunk: Temple’s heavily pregnant wife Mia (Lina Lecompte). But the thief is a nice guy, so instead of, say, shooting his stowaway (who is trying to escape her violent husband) he brings her along with him as they try to shake the assorted hench-people Temple sends after them.
Although the gobs of fisticuffs and gunfire that punctuate the plot are so generic they...

Chris Christie seemingly can’t catch a break.
The New Jersey governor, 54, was relentlessly booed at Tuesday’s St. Louis Cardinals vs. New York Mets game inside New York City’s Citi Field for catching Cardinals infielder Paul DeJong’s foul ball.
Christie swiftly caught the baseball with his left hand while remaining in his seat, however the impressive (and lucky) snatch did not impress the N.Y. crowd.

Shortland Street (New Zealand)
This is proof that I can’t be everywhere. I had no idea that New Zealand nighttime soap Shortland Street had a gay couple on the show. I’m not sure on all the details of the storyline, but it seems that Seth came on as part of a hostile hopital takeover. There’s been lots of drama and political maneuvering because of it. Seth's business competitor Sarah knows that he’s gay, and it looks like she's about to out him.
The biggest question I have is: what year is this? I mean, it’s 2013. It’s seems so dated to have Seth staying in the closet and hiding his boyfriend to protect his career. I realize that this does still happen, but Seth is not a professional athlete, a big film star, a politician or anything high-profile like that, so...
