Sugar Rush (2005)
I've been there!
I disagree with Simon. I assume he's a straight man that has no idea of what it's like growing up and realising your gay with no-one to turn to.
Admittedly the novel wasn't particularly easy to read but I think the television adaptation is excellent. The cast are all fantastic actors and I love the humour. As I've been through the whole 'unrequited love for a friend' experience myself I can fully identify with Kizza's emotions and I'm sure most people, whatever their sexual orientation can identify with the whole dating experience.
It's about time we had more programmes like this in the mainstream, then perhaps it would be easier for teenagers to come out, without facing the fear of ignorant backlash from uninformed heterosexuals.
Basic Instinct 2 (2006)
Thoroughly Enjoyable movie
I saw the movie last night and thought it was a huge improvement on the original. I thought Sharon Stone gave a great performance and looked stunning and the cast of well known British actors also gave their usual high standard of performance.
The camera work was very atmospheric and , as I am a Londoner myself, I felt it captured the glamorous and the seedy side of the West End.
I thought the dialogue in the original was clichéd whereas this felt a lot more believable.
The only scene I thought the film could have done without is the orgy in a Soho brothel.
