Last of the Mohicans
Currently enjoying (though not so sure that’s the right word) getting into my first assignment for this year – a shot-by-shot analysis of a sequence from a film that has been adapted from a source. I’ve chosen ‘Last of the Mohicans’ (novel by Fentimore Cooper, film by Michael Mann), as it is a film I…

Walk The Line – it rumbles and glowers beautifully.

Yves Saint Laurent & SHOWstudio update
If you read my earlier post here, you’ll know what I’m talking about. If you didn’t, just follow this link here (and click ‘edition 24′ then double click on the ’24hr’ page that opens), to see some arty fashiony film clips on the Yves Saint Laurent website created as part of an art project with…

And then…
… and then stuff happened. Ain’t that always the way. Went to a networking thing at Edinburgh College of Art last week to meet new Screen Academy students, and to hear about this fab new site being set up to allow all the UK Screen Academies to network. It’s called ‘Rawstock’ and looks to be…

Do you ever feel like you’re waiting, not unhappily, but just nervously waiting because you feel that something is going to happen. Waiting because you know something will happen.

3rd one’s the (unlucky) charm

Voyeur
Don’t you love those gizmos that let you see all the different sorts of people who visit your blog! The best so far – someone from Indianapolis found me whilst looking for ‘peeping stepmom’. Result (I’m guessing) – one REALLY disappointed surfer.

Happy (belated) Blogday to me
It’s finally arrived! I started my blog a year ago (on the 15th September), and here I still am! Can’t say I expected it to last, but it has served it’s purpose to keep a sporadic diary of my Screenwriting MA, and has turned out to be a little addictive. Thank-you to everyone who has…

1) Gnocchi with parmesan and olives + 2) Carry On Henry + 3) £90 unexpected refund on my car insurance because they’ve reinstated my no-claims bonus = Heaven!

Pan’s Labyrinth
I’ve been keeping this dvd to watch, like a special treat kept aside. Finally had a day completely off today, and took a couple of hours to watch it. Worth the wait! I’ve actually heard and read quite a few negative reviews of it, but I’d find it difficult to imagine anyone who wasn’t moved…
