Exciting stuff. Would like a release date though. Here is the Beeb summary:
In one epic story told over five nights the new series, to be broadcast for the first time on BBC One later this year, promises to be Torchwood's greatest adrenalin-fuelled, high octane adventure yet.

Cloverfield- a marmite film for my family.

Personally, I was really impressed by this film and found it impressive. However my step son and daughter hated it and thought it was really lame. I found it gripping particularly when the monster first hit New York. Not the greatest movie ever but a ...( read more ) refreshing alteration of some of the codes and conventions of Blockbuster monster movies. This is what I wrote in a review for flickster movies on my facebook account. My step-son found the whole idea preposterous and complained that it was Blair witch meets Godzilla. At this point I had to point out that was the point of the film. To be fair on him, I think his argument that they should have just got out when the big monster thingy started bashing the army was a logical one. What won the film over for me was the sequences at the beginning of the rampage, I really felt tense and that is something I haven't felt whilst watching a monster movie in years- I genuinely felt unsettled by the visuals which came over like a p

My initial thoughts on partners in crime as posted on various sites

A selection of reviews I have written for partners in crime- this is followed by the review I have written for my blog after some further reflection: A promising start. I enjoyed the comedic moments between the Doctor and Donna. My family and I enjoyed it all the way through. I was unsure about the Adipose at first when I saw a clip the other day but they worked well when I saw them in the context of the episode. A good light hearted start. Loved the Rose sequence at the end which elicited gasps of surprise from my youngest step daughter. Yeah Tate was pretty good. Was unsure about the Adipose after seeing a clip the other day but seeing them in the context of the episode I thought it worked. A promising light hearted episode. Just finished watching Partners in Crime with my family and I’m pleased to say that I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the comedic moments between the Doctor and Donna. The clip with Rose was a great surprise- I wasn’t exp
