Bill Nighy - happy birthday

Because it is that day of the year again. And because I can only make things like this with nice faces on it. And no, of course I didn’t forget Bill’s birthday. 57 today, and still the funkiest man in the universe. And the most brilliant actor on the planet.
So - [...]

The Girl In The Cafe
Yes, Laurie liked the film too…
The Girl in the Caf? - A review by Laurie Cranston
A quirky film which brings together the idea that a simple concept can sometimes be bogged down in the detail.

What is that man doing here you wonder? I think we have looked at Will Ferrell and Daniel Craig long enough now haven’t we. And we are in the middle of a small update on The Girl In The Cafe on tour project, so it is completely legitimate.
Things are going a bit slower here [...]

Flushed Away

So yes it was a part of the NFT youth program, but they had the preview, and I couldn’t wait to see Flushed Away (imdb) longer than absolutely necessary. It will be released this weekend, and it is safe to say that this is a film suitable for the whole family. Children (and the [...]

Spike and Whitey in Regent Street

Spike and Whitey in Regent Street
We have a serious problem.
What, what do you mean?
She absolutely hates Christmas.

The Girl In The Cafe
What can I say, Bart doesn’t like Bill Nighy. Ouch.
I am not entirely sure that he likes the film either, but read his review yourself.
In the mean time, one Girl is trying to catch some sunlight in Spain before flying to Holland, and the other one is in the States and [...]

The Girl In The Cafe

I love this project. And I love it when people love the film and write a nice review. The latest one comes from Aarhus, Denmark where Dorte wrote a wonderful review about this wonderful film.
Sit back and relax, make a cup of tea, find a biscuit or two and [...]

Kaiser Chiefs
Not only did I get a subscription for the BFI/NFT for my birthday from my colleagues, they also gave me half a year of Love. Lovely, Actually, I need Love. And despite the fact that I do think you need to see a film in the darkness of a cinema, this turned out [...]

USA, Netherlands, Denmark, Scotland, Spain, Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Belgium, Portugal.
I had no idea when I started this that she was going to travel this far. And despite some hickups along the way, people have been very kind to keep their promises of writing a review and making sure that she was send off [...]

Bill Nighy - The Girl In The Cafe

Bill Nighy/Lawrence in The Girl In The Cafe
Let’s attempt to write something that makes sense, which is hard, as millions of balls are bouncing in my head at the moment. It is inevitable that Nighy will be a regular here the coming months, so be warned.
Nathan has participated [...]

But I know what I’m needing
and I’m not going to waste more time
I’m in a NewYork state of mind.
It was so easy living day by day
out of touch with the rhythm and blues
Now I need a little give and take
the New York Times and the Daily News, ohh
Comes down to reality and its fine with [...]

Lawrence (Bill Nighy), at the G8 in the Girl In The Cafe
A short update for the people on the list on the whereabouts of the Girl DVD.
One DVD is in Denmark, but after he did write a review I never heard from the person [...]

The Girl In The Cafe
2 more reviews:
Dan liked her
Bjorn did not
The Americans just gave her 3 Emmy’s (Best film, Best script, Best actress (Kelly MacDonald) - I know Bill is missing here, he wasn’t even nominated, but we all know that he made the film - Best film).
If you like to find out what you [...]

I know I am the one supposed to get the presents today, but I have received so many already these last 5 months (in all different shapes and forms), I would like to give one in return.
It is seldom a poem really catches me, especially the ones that don’t rhyme. I normally don’t get them, [...]

The Girl In The Cafe
Another what? Another good review of The Girl In The Cafe from a particapant in the project. I won’t bore you too much with the details, if you want to join, please read on here.
Apart from that I have 3 potential pieces of text that might endup in a [...]

Davy Jones - the arty way

The proud pirate
“These pictures on your wall, who is he?”
“Oh, him. He is, well he’s someone, I admire. You are related to him did you know? And he has some Scottish blood in him too, half of it to be precise”
“You’ve made a lot of artwork with him on it”
“Yes, [...]

People participating in TGITC on tour and loving the film. Sandra did, and she wrote a great review in English, and she watched it with Smile who wrote a great review in English too. Thank you both !
I am very happy to see that the DVD is creating a chain of positive reviews in weblogspace.

Lawrence (Bill Nighy) in The Cafe
On a day where my head nearly explodes because so many things are flying around in it, I knew I wouldn’t be able to come up with something decent to write. One could discuss if the stuff I normally tend to write is decent, but let’s not get into that [...]

I admit it, I am not especially in the target audience for Stormbreaker (official site). This is a young version of James Bond and the newspapers love the idea of main character Alex competing with Harry Potter about who is going to be the most popular teenage idol.
