Shadowboxer (2005)
Excellent film
Mirren plays the ever gracious actress-brilliant acting and Cuba shows that he has talent. (Pretty good to look at as well!!) The film is well written and well acted with an excellent insight to the understanding of 'weird love' Love that is different.For example the thin doctor with the fat coke headed nurse-to Gooding Jnr being Mirrens step son but as he grew he fell in love with her and they had a passionate relationship-it may have been control but Mikey seemed to need that extra bit of looking after.
It was one of those films that you felt compelled to watch even if some parts were a little distasteful it all made up to a very good and well written film
Rock Around the Block (2005)
Great first show- downhill from then on
The whole Rock around the Block was like a glamorised karaoke competition. The first show was excellent with the Mitrovics and the Millers as both families displayed some real talent, both families had a great sense of humour and weren't worried of showing stress when it started to set in. That gave excellent viewing. The mum in the Mitrovics family was so natural. She and her family were just themselves but she really held the viewers attention. The Millers were obviously talented even the dog should have been on stage.
From then on the show just seem to go down hill and portrayed the families as boring and shy. The following show lacked the dynamics the first show had. A better format would have improved it and choosing families with a bit more get and go like the first two families, would have kept the people watching.
