Movies In Fifteen Minutes: The Ten Biggest Movies Ever For People Who Can - Cleolinda Jones

Advantages: bit of time inside from the rain
Disadvantages: was crap

...well. what can i say. did anyone actually believe that the makers of bridget jones' diary -the movie had ever actually read the book?? what a load of pap. all the personality of teh book had been lost. the brilliantly funny storylines - in the book- were skimmed over in the film. some of the best were missed out. the people picked to play the roles of friends were totally unbeliecable. while i sat in the cinema, hoping for my beloved book to be turned into a cinematic masterpeice, i was shrinking with disappointment. what a waste of £5 on my part. dont make the same mistake as me. wait for video if you really have to see it. but i really wouldnt't bother if i were you......

If you have an interest in cinematography, then you’ll be nothing less than amazed at what was required of the equipment. Aspiring geologists and people curious of a life so different from ours will gain a new understanding of Nepel and the Indian subcontinent. And anyone who’s seen the film and wants to know the rest of the story (after all, months of climbing and survival can’t be told in a 40 minute movie) will love every word. Of course should steamy love screens be your thing, stick to Mills and Boon. The film was recently showing in Bristol and will be in Manchester soon, see http://www.macfreefilms.com for more details. As for the book it was brought for me as a present from... Read review
