We are however, in my opinion, massively missing the point. We vote for our local MP not the party leader. We should vote for the candidate in the area who will best represent our views and interests. Do you know who that is? Probably not, because there really is no emphasis on this fact. 

Being a Tory I really think Cameron and his strategists are missing a trick, which is why things are closer than they should be. He cares for local politics, to move policy away from Whitehall. So why doesn't he stress the point that he has a fresh group of quality candidates that can transform politics? The voter wants change but it needs to know what change actually is. We need to know who these people are.

I'm quite surprised that no one has every really effectively paid tribute and mocked the superhero genre until this film. Since when did we think that wearing tight primary-coloured costumes and giving us stupendous names was a cool thing to do? This is genius film making, inspired no doubt by drunk conversations in the pub. 

"How dumb is the superhero phenomenon?" 

I need to remember to make notes when such ideas come to my head, and yes they sometimes do. 

Great to see that British talent drove this film. Matthew Vaughn is obviously a talented film maker. Mark Strong is also becoming one of cinema's best bad guys.

Oh yes and any film with McLovin in is alright in my book. 

Genius. 

With the Golden Globe award winners announced the other night we are right at the beginning of the movie award season. With the exception of Avatar I think this year’s crop of English-language films in contention for awards is somewhat disappointing although I know this trend is becoming a little routine with Slumdog Millionaire stealing the show last year at Oscars and beyond. Despite the impressive list of foreign language films that have come out this year, Avatar will win the Best Film Oscar (although deservedly) because Hollywood really loves to celebrate its own.

George Clooney’s latest, Up in the Air, is in contention for awards this year. It is a good film, the script is competent and the movie wins on timeliness thanks to the story’s focus on the recession and how it effects various people. The film also documents well the soullessness of business travel and Mr Nespresso delivers a personality of someone who’s life is somewhat drained of any happiness. It is, however, not a great film. The characterisation of the female leads I found to be rather unbelievable and the film delivers only a little sympathy when aiming for big heart-filled moments. A film in contention for awards should offer a lot more surely? Rocking soundtrack though.
