Travel Man: 48 Hours in...: Bergen (2019)
Worth watching as an example of awful
Both of them were absolutely awful - patronising, embarassingly cryptic with their hosts, and obviously a complete mismatch with each other. Unprofessional, unfunny. Apart from that, there were some interesting views and experiences of Bergen and the people there were lovely. I'm not going to let this programme put me off visiting.
Sorjonen: Muraalimurhat (2021)
Great 360 degree for the TV series and left me wanting more
This had the feel of an opening episode for a new series of Bordertown but managed to pack a whole story into the time. I'm happy this was made and it gave us all another taste of the excellent team in action. Glad there were no substitutions and Kari and Lena were able to maintain their intriguing characters. Will there be more shorts like this? I would certainly welcome a new storyline with the same style and depth.
The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)
Can't wait to see the next installment...I love these movies
It's a case of either love it or hate it - some people just don't get it, but most fall under the spell and find themselves living through every moment of New Moon.
If you're attracted to the feeling of constant angst, unrequited love, possessive instincts and the notion of living alongside such fascinating beings as vampires and werewolves, then you may find yourself so involved that you want to see New Moon several times.
Part of the recent resurgence of vampire-related books, TV series and movies, the Twilight Saga has captured the imagination of those who know what heartache and longing, addictive torment and sacrifice in the name of love feel like. High-risk romantic attachments and dramatic consequences draw you in and make you feel what isn't generally felt in our own lives.
If you're not needy for a shot of romance then you won't get it.
Touching the Void (2003)
One man's incredible ordeal after being left for dead
One thing that reminds me this incredible story is real, is the very British calm in the narration, even when telling of the kind of experiences Hollywood would have wrung every emotionally charged teardrop from. I can see another version of this being highly successful at the box office...there are so many potentially dark nuances and micro plots that could have been played with. Jo to this day defends Simon's action in cutting the rope which held him dangling over a crevasse. That is the traditionally noble thing to do. I wonder what his genuine feelings are about the whole thing. The ones no-one but he will probably ever know about. Personally I'm glad to have heard the true account and to have seen the individuals who actually went through this ordeal. And to think about how I might have behaved in their situations.
