I just watched the pilot episode of HBO’s True Blood, written and directed by Alan Ball (of Six Feet Under and American Beauty fame). Terrible effort. Acting is atrocious, direction is uneven and unsatisfying and there’s absolutely nothing to hook you in. I’ll be giving this series a miss.

I LOVE the first film so this is sacrilege. Plus Jaden is only 10 years old! Why not just make a different movie altogether? Via comingsoon.
Copy and paste. Flash in Safari? Yes please. They also need a pleasefixtheipodtouch.com because it should be able to take photos & use GPS like the iPhone. Via Pleasefixtheiphone

I tried opening my 4th Gen 40GB old skool iPod a couple of years back and broke mine. Don't try this at home! Via CNET UK.
Ultimately charming and heart-warming Pixar effort is a sheer delight from start to finish. Homage's to 2001, E.T and all your favourite childhood Sci-Fi movies are plentiful and just to realise so much emotion from an animated robot that hardly talks throughout the entire movie is a feat in itself. The Blu-ray version will be stunning!

Actually, I umm disagree. :) I’m really enjoying it (but it could be ‘cos I have a thing for vampires!)
It really isn’t that bad and is slowly becoming quite deep and involved.
Last week’s episode (5) was a killer and I find myself looking forward to each episode. But, that’s just me huh?
