Make me a Supermodel US

*****

New reality series on Living Tv. Similiar format to America's Next Top Model but this time it's boys and girls. Presented by Tyson Beckford and Niki Taylor, each week weakest 3 photo shoots-model challenges are up for US public vote to see who stays....

Michael Clayton

*****

This movie started well, George Clooney  and Tilda Swinton were great. Felt it fizzled out into a "seen that done that" legal genre film which was a pity as it could have been so much more.

Weeds, Season 4

*****

The first episode of this new series was disappointing. Having enjoyed the previous seasons of this American TV comedy, this opening episode dragged along and wasn't as funny or entertaining as usual.

Just 3 episodes in and I'm really looking forward to the next instalment of this drama series . Set in an advertising world of New York in 1960, it centres on Don Draper, the creative director of the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. ...

Top Chef Season 4

*****

As the contestants get whittled down, the competition is getting tougher, patience is wearing thin and the tension is rising. This is my favourite reality tv cookery based series and I've enjoyed the 3 preceding series.

Dirty Sexy Money

*****

I started off liking this and hoped it would go in a particular direction but it's degenerated badly after only four episodes. The focus on the bimbos and nitwits is very annoying. The interesting characters are Tripp and his wife. Even the Senator son who likes trannies could have some decent story lines if they tried. Initially the priest son had potential too. But it has all been squandered by turning them into incredibly boring caricatures. Who, apart from Hollywood execs, would think that anyone else would find rich self-obsessed spoiled brats interesting?

Top Chef (Season 3)

*****

Too many weak chefs weaken it slightly. Now down to last 4 but really last 2. Loving every second. Must C TV.

In the Woods by Tana French

*****

My mother in law lent me this book a few weeks ago and it was a good read up to a point. My main gripe is its very disappointing ending which then tarred the whole novel as I wondered “why the hell did I bother reading that?” Its set in...

Suprisingly good film, really kept the interest with moving plot, good writing, black comedy and exceptional acting.
