Triple001

I don't really know why this series was cancelled at such an early stage. Was it really *that* bad? I was actually quite wary of what to expect from a show that starred Mike Damus (who, of course, starred in the rather unforgiveable and unsuccessful Teen Angel), but I was pleasantly surprised...with both the scripts AND his acting (I don't mean to be nasty, but I think he just made a bad mistake of taking the lead role in Teen Angel...)! While Brutally Normal does attempt to somewhat delve into teen issues, it also deals with those involving family crises/problems in a comedic way. Admittedly, this is quite an average show aimed at young people. Perhaps more depth and better storylines could have developed had it not been given the boot so early.

Having sat there in the cinema, and never once looked at my watch and wondered how long to go until the end of this film, was a sure giveaway that Bend it like Beckham was definitely enjoyable. I liked this film. I found it to be genuinely funny (as did the rest of the audience). Only problem was...I was really hoping for more football action. Nevertheless, everything else made up for it.

Series 7: The Contenders is pretty much action, drama, comedy, romance and mystery rolled into one. For the mostpart, it's fairly disturbing, yet at the same time intriguing, so much so that it is easy to see why some people would absolutely love or hate this film. While the beginning didn't take my fancy straight away, I was glad that it started to pick up somewhere further in. The 'Love will tear us apart' filmclip is, by far, my favourite part, even if only it was a very small segment of the film.

In all, Series 7 has it's funny moments, and is a film that perhaps most people would appreciate for different reasons.
