Hello
Hey people, this is my 1st post ever -the crowd goes "ooooo"- and I won't lie to you, it has nothing to do with clubs or stuff or even about films, it's about Madeleine McCann and how you can show your support via MSN or forums or anything which may require a display picture. Just left click on the image below and click save it and then use the picture as a display picture. I wish Madeleine a safe return home.

Spiderman 3
Have you seen this natty trailer for Spiderman 3?
I went to see the film last Saturday, so here's a little review of sorts:
What's good about it:
The Sandman looks amazing and some of the action scenes are spectacular.
Funny?
It's the funniest Spiderman film yet. The chinned wonder Bruce Campbell is great in his obligatory scene, seemingly inspired by John Cleeves as a french waiter. Also Peter Parker does some pretty funny strutting down New York streets ( he totaly stole my moves).
What's wrong with it:
There are to many stories going on at once. The film makers rely on far to many coincidences to weave them all together. The end result is a film that feels 30 mins to long.
Peter Park gets emo hair whenever he is 'evil' which looks really silly.
Worst of all is the Jazz Club / dance scene. Oh dear oh dear.
That's interesting:
Most of the film is about forgiveness. We see how different characters react to people who have hurt them, and how destructive it is to hold on to bitterness. Only when Spiderman is able to reject his anger, reach out to his friends for help and forgive the people who hurt him is he able to win the fight.
Just like in Return of the Jedi, the battle is not won with violence but by the main characters over coming the enemy inside themselves. This is pretty interesting from a Christian point of view. Jesus won the ultimate battle with out throwing a single punch.
But also as a Christian I believe that I need God's Holy Spirit living in me to help me forgive and to totaly heal me of bitterness and hurt from the past. The film kinda suggests that all you need is a good attitude and help from your friends. Which is a shame coz that means lonely people are scuppered. Good job Jesus is inclusive!
Overall:
Not a great film. Very good in places but way to drawn out and over complicated.
I'll stick with Superman 3: it deals with the same themes, it's on TV every bank holiday and has the added benefit of being down right hilarious! What do you mean you haven't seen it?!!!!
