The Tempest. Ergh. Studied it at a level, it sucked as a play and i'm sure it won't be any better as a film. I'm a little annoyed that Prospero is a woman in this version, especially as i spent a long time writing about how patriacle the play is, and how much of that is down to him.
Russel Brand may be the only thing keeping me vaguely intersted, and i'm sure he won't be a massive part of the film.
Anyway, if you fancy watching the trailer, here it is

I was just on the Total Film website, and the discussion of the day is about Movie Myths, and someone mentioned this.

The Social Network
I doubt that the Social Network will be a longstanding classic, but for the time being it is a film that defines a generation of facebook addicts.
Some of my friends have been to see this film, and returned seemingly dissappointed, by what i don't know! I can't believe they were expecting an action film, so i'm not entirely sure what they wanted from this film. All i know is that i enjoyed it, simply becuase it is extremely well written, brilliantly casted, and above all engaging!
David Fincher was under instruction to bring the film in at or around the 2 hour mark, but Sorkins script was 166 pages. This caused Fincher to instruct his actors to speak the dialogue faster, as evidenced by the first scene. However, you don't get the feeling that the film was rushed at all, it just works!
Jesse Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg - the creator of Facebook- excellently. He moves away from his previous goofy performences, to give a cold, calculated performance of a genius who does anything he has to in order to get what he wants, regardless of who he hurts along the way. In contrast to this, Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin is a more appealing character for the audience, and this makes Zuckerbergs betrayal even harsher. We will be seeing more of these two actors in the future, there is no doubt in my mind about that.
This film should not be known as "The Facebook Movie", as that does it a great disservice. Yes, it is about Facebook, but not solely about that. There are characters you get to know, like, dislike and laugh with, there is a great betrayal, tension and intrigue!
I reccomend this film to film and facebook lovers alike.

Things i learnt while shooting...
1) Inform your neighbours
2) Don't trust the flip out screen - you cant always see the dirt on the lens
3) You have to focus the eye viewer! Who knew!?
4) It's not easy to jump through a small window

It's a wrap
Got all of my filming done in plenty of time with help from a couple of friends, and even my mum! Really looking forward to seeing it when all editing is done, i'll just have to try and do Mr. Ritchie proud.
Also learnt to warn the neighbours when someone is going to be banging on your front door and shouting! Especially when one such neighbour is an ex copper. Good job my mother had the sense to go and explain what was going on, and also nice to know that we have neighbours who don't just sit back and watch.
