What's Your Number? (DVD)

Few actresses can play frothy and ditzy as well as Anna Faris, star of the fizzy What's Your Number?. Faris's easy ability to fly along on the wispiest of plot threads, staying likable all the way, is harder than it looks, and Faris's talent makes What's Your Number? a fun, saucy date-night trifle. Faris plays Ally Darling, a woman who's had 20 boyfriends, and makes the mistake of reading a women's magazine article that says that a woman who has had more than 20 lovers has a harder time ultimately marrying. Ally then wonders if one of her "magic 20" might have been The One, and sets about to track them all down. What's Your Number? has a talented cast surrounding Faris, including Blythe Danner as her wedding-obsessed mum, Joel McHale as a former boss (and possible new "number"), and the gorgeous Chris Evans as Colin, Ally's neighbour. Ally and Colin strike up a friendship while she tries to track down her exes, and of course the viewer can see they are perfect for each other long before the script allows them to. Faris and Evans are winning and cunning, and manage to rise above the script that emulates the raunch of Bridesmaids but mostly sidesteps that film's giant heart. But it's not for lack of Faris's trying--she's irresistible, hilarious, and touchingly vulnerable. Her performance in What's Your Number? is a perfect 10. --A.T. Hurley ... less

Be Your Own Life Coach: How to Have the Best Life Possible - Fiona Harrold

Fiona Harrold believes, with articulate passion, that anyone can do anything. The only stumbling block is lack of self-belief. "When you believe in yourself anything is possible", she says unequivocally. She wants you to discard any beliefs which hold you back. Her practical, accessibly written book--based on her seminars with TV presenters, music stars, business executives and top politicians as well as with those in less prominent or glamorous positions--aims to show you how.Once described in the Daily Express as "the Queen Bee of British life coaching", Harrold wants you to be ambitious. And physical health is part of success and confidence. She has interesting views on eating disorders and regards overeating, smoking and drinking to excess as low self-esteem factors. Her systematic exercises--and the attitudes and affirmations she recommends--take you step by step through a radical rethink of who you are, what you want and where you are going at every level.Although she advises that acceptance of the existence of a cosmic force outside yourself will enhance your sense of personal worth, she has controversial thoughts about the central tenets of some religions. You should, she suggests, rethink your relationship with any teaching which requires you to regard yourself as a worthless miserable sinner. She blames such deeply conditioned cultural attitudes for much of the low self-esteem in Western Europe.Some of her ideas are intensely liberating and encouraging. "You are as attractive as you think you are", she says and she teaches you how to change your view of yourself. Or consider how actors insinuate themselves into roles then "Act, talk and behave like the person you want to be and you will become that person". --Susan Elkin ... less

Meatball Sundae: Is Your Marketing Out of Sync? - Seth Godin

?Gotta get me some of that New Marketing. Bring me blogs, e-mail, YouTube videos, MySpace pages, Google AdWords . . . I don?t care, as long as it's shiny and new.? Wait. According to bestselling author Seth Godin, all these tactics are like the toppings at an ice cream parlor. If you start with ice cream, adding cherries and hot fudge and whipped cream will make it taste great. But if you start with a bowl of meatballs . . . yuck! As traditional marketing fades away, the new tools seem irresistible. But they don?t work as well for boring brands (?meatballs?) that might still be profitable but don?t attract word of mouth, such as Cheerios, Ford trucks, Barbie dolls, or Budweiser. When Anheuser-Busch spends $40 million on an online network called Bud TV, that's a meatball sundae. It leads to no new Bud drinkers, just a bad case of indigestion. "Meatball Sundae" is the definitive guide to the fourteen trends no marketer can afford to ignore. It explains what to do about the increasing power of stories, not facts; about shorter and shorter attention spans; and about the new math that says five thousand people who want to hear your message are more valuable than five million who don?t. The winners aren?t just annoying start-ups run by three teenagers who never had a real job. You?ll also meet older companies that have adapted brilliantly, such as Blendtec, a thirty-year-old blender maker. It now produces ?Will it blend videos that demolish golf balls, Coke cans, iPhones, and much more. For a few hundred dollars, Blendtec reached more than ten million eager viewers on YouTube. Godin doesn?t pretend that it's easy to get your products, marketing messages, and internal systems in sync. But he?ll convince you that it's worth the effort. ... less

The authors of Toxic Sludge Is Good for You! unmask the sneaky and widespread methods industry uses to influence opinion through bogus experts, doctored data, and manufactured facts. We count on the experts. We count on them to tell us who to vote for, what to eat, how to raise our children. We watch them on TV, listen to them on the radio, read their opinions in magazine and newspaper articles and letters to the editor. We trust them to tell us what to think, because there's too much information out there and not enough hours in a day to sort it all out.We should stop trusting them right this second.In their new book Trust Us, We're Experts!: How Industry Manipulates Science and Gambles with Your Future, Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber, authors of Toxic Sludge Is Good For You, offer a chilling expose on the manufacturing of "independent experts."Public relations firms and corporations know well how to exploit your trust to get you to buy what they have to sell: Let you hear it from a neutral third party, like a professor or a pediatrician or a soccer mom or a watchdog group. The problem is, these third parties are usually anything but neutral. They have been handpicked, cultivated, and meticulously packaged in order to make you believe what they have to say--preferably in an "objective" format like a news show or a letter to the editor. And in some cases, they have been paid handsomely for their "opinions."For example: You think that nonprofit organizations just give away their stamps of approval on products? Bristol-Myers Squibb paid $600,000 to the American Heart Association for the right to display AHA's name and logo in ads for its cholesterol-lowering drug Pravachol. SmithKline Beecham paid the American Cancer Society $1 million for the right to use its logo in ads for Beecham's Nicoderm CQ and Nicorette anti-smoking ads.You think that a study out of a prestigious university is completely unbiased?

Tom "The Voice" Jones has always been as much interested in his stage look as his vocals, as Sincerely Yours reminds us. The venue and the year are not specified, but this could be any of a thousand Las Vegas gigs from the 1970s, captured to perfection. With a playlist of 20 hot tunes (both his own and others), it's an hour of terrific sing-along entertainment. From " What's New Pussycat" to "Let Your Love Flow", the high notes and sweaty brow stay consistent. The obvious crowd-pleasers are: "Delilah", "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", "Pretty Woman", "Spanish Eyes", "If You Think I'm Sexy", "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again", "I Did It My Way" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". The format of the performance is intriguingly edited, too. He sings a couple of numbers, then changes jacket so he can throw it into the cheering audience! On the DVD:Sincerely Yours comes with added value in the shape of a half-hour CD of Jones' own favourite duets (before Reload). The 12 tracks include Dusty Springfield ("Upside Down"), Tina Turner ("Hot Legs"), Isaac Hayes ("I Love You So") and Donny Osmond ("The Way She Walks"). The only extras are a Biography and Discography, which stops at 1988. Although from old video stock, the picture is good enough. The sound is more important of course, and this comes out far better. --Paul Tonks ... less

What is there to say about Mr T that hasn't already been said countless times? We'll spare you the tabloid stuff, of course, and stick with the facts. Born Laurence Turead, Mr T - as he is personally and professionally known - shot to fame in the late 1970s as a professional body guard before starring in Rocky III, which, as any self-respecting A-Team fanatic should know, is the point of origin of that most famous catch-phrase "I pity the fool." His arrival on our small screens from 1983 onwards in the guise of Sergeant Bosco B.A. Baracus - where B.A. incidentally, stands for 'Bad Attitude - sealed his fate as one of TV's icons of that much-loved televisual decade. So to Mr T In Your Pocket, and, like the best of product names, it does exactly what it says on the tin. It's not a small mannequin, perfectly rendering the man himself, but rather a perfect rendering of his voice, in the form of six of his all-time sayings. One can easily guess what they are, fool. Each saying is individually triggered by one of a set of six small buttons located below a high quality speaker. So, to simply stop someone from messing with one's van, or to express pity for a foolish person, you know exactly what to do. And the perfectly-rendered voice of Mr T himself will boom out across your workplace. "I ain't gittin' on no plane." We couldn't have put it better ourselves. ... less

Screenwriter's Bible: A Complete Guide to Writing, Formatting and Selling Your Script - David Trottier

How does a spec script differ from a shooting script? What kind of fasteners should one use to bind a script? How did the term MOS come to mean without sound? You'll find the answers to these pressing questions and much more in David Trottier's eminently usable Screenwriter's Bible. The avuncular Trottier--a writer-producer, script consultant, and seminar leader--has written a friendly guide through the Hollywood morass. He touts it as six books in one: it's "a screenwriting primer, a screenwriting workbook, a formatting guide, a spec writing guide, a sales and marketing guidexcfb [and] a resource guide." Much of Trottier's advice is common sense: "Don't write anything that cannot appear on the screen"; to keep casting options open, don't make your physical descriptions too specific; "don't say Ron Howard is looking at the project if he is not." But there are things to know about Hollywood that are, well, quirkier. Don't write the title of your script on the front cover or side binding; present action sequences using the "stacking action" style; in query letters and scripts alike, avoid "big blocks of black ink." Trottier's guidance--from character development and revision to queries and pitches--is invaluable. Getting in the door can seem impossible, but it's not, necessarily. "If you write a script that features a character who has a clear and specific goal," says Trottier, "where there is strong opposition to that goal leading to a crisis and an emotionally satisfying ending, your script will automatically find itself in the upper five percent." (By the way, MOS is said to have "originated with German director Eric von Stroheim, who would tell his crew, 'Ve'll shoot dis mid out sound'"). --Jane Steinberg, Amazon.com ... less

Tom "The Voice" Jones has always been as much interested in his stage look as his vocals, as Sincerely Yours reminds us. The venue and the year are not specified, but this could be any of a thousand Las Vegas gigs from the 1970s, captured to perfection. With a playlist of 20 hot tunes (both his own and others), it's an hour of terrific sing-along entertainment. From " What's New Pussycat" to "Let Your Love Flow", the high notes and sweaty brow stay consistent. The obvious crowd-pleasers are: "Delilah", "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", "Pretty Woman", "Spanish Eyes", "If You Think I'm Sexy", "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again", "I Did It My Way" and "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". The format of the performance is intriguingly edited, too. He sings a couple of numbers, then changes jacket so he can throw it into the cheering audience! On the DVD:Sincerely Yours comes with added value in the shape of a half-hour CD of Jones' own favourite duets (before Reload). The 12 tracks include Dusty Springfield ("Upside Down"), Tina Turner ("Hot Legs"), Isaac Hayes ("I Love You So") and Donny Osmond ("The Way She Walks"). The only extras are a Biography and Discography, which stops at 1988. Although from old video stock, the picture is good enough. The sound is more important of course, and this comes out far better. --Paul Tonks ... less

What's Your Number? - original plot but...
Advantages: Original Plot
Disadvantages: Poor acting,
...as a very serious actress after seeing her in House Bunny and now I take her even less seriously. She's great at doing comedies but you find yourself laughing at her characters and their stupid antics in the same sort of way you'd laugh at slapstick.What's Your Number? is about Ally Darling (Anna Faris), a young woman who realises that she's slept with far too many men already in her life.

My regular Tuesday escapism - What's on TV magazine
Advantages: Catch up on TV without actually watching it
Disadvantages: None
...and Radio Times? One for BBC Channels and the other for ITV and later Channel 4? For some reason these magazines were not allowed to list every TV channel, so you had to buy both.... what a ridiculous waste of money!
Anyway in 1991 the rules changed and various TV magazines came onto the market, which covered all channels...
I think it must have been about 1991 that I started buying What's on TV. I...
