Ed Wood (1994)
A waste of 2 hours
When I read the description of this film I thought it would be pretty good, being directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Bill Murray, and I admit that there are good parts about it, but I generally found it a bit of a bore. Johnny Depp plays Edward D. Wood Jr - the worst director ever and this movie follows his attempts to make good movies. He's a cross dresser who idolises Orson Welles. Unfortunately I thought that the plot was quite dull and pointless. It's shame because the direction and cinematography are great (it's all shot in black and white) and all the actors give good performances and there is a bit of good humour, but in general I found it a bit pointless and a waste of time watching. The plot wasn't that interesting and I only sat through the whole thing to see if would get ANY better, but it didn't. In my personal opinion I think this movie is so highly rated only because of the big names - Burton and Depp.
Kerching! (2003)
A Great Show
I've noticed that a lot of people who post on the "Kerching!" board seem to hate this show, which I actually find very surprising. I think it's one of the best British kids' shows there is. It's a shame it's ending because it's very funny (if a bit cheesy sometimes) and has great characters. The main character is a little like Del Boy, although quite a lot smarter. With his 2 best friends he tried to make a million pounds for his mum by starting an online business and adopting a pseudonym of "Rudeboy". His friends are Seymour (who likes to cook) and Danny (who is simple minded and the comic relief character). Throughout the show, some characters have left and new ones have come in, but it's always been entertaining and improving.
