I'm Becoming a Supernatural Addict!!

So basically this blog is all in the title.

It has recently dawned on me to realise just how fascinated in recent years I have become with the supernatural, in particular surrounding works of fiction that involve beings like werewolves and vampires.

However, I do not think I am alone in this. Since the groundbreaking success of the Twilight novels by Stephanie Meyer, (which for a long time I begrudged not to read until finally giving in) it seems to be that there has become a great fascination amongst many with these supernatural beings, which has corresponded in many more books, television programmes, films and other forms of media, featuring these types of characters.

It was only yesterday when I worked out that I now watch (now don't be shocked at this), Being Human, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf and the Twilight films, that I realised that I too had been sucked in by this scary supernatural addiction/disease swooping through the world. My Twitter name even involves it for pity's sake (WerewolfWhite).

Now don't get me wrong I love all of these shows and it was my choice to watch them but does anyone else out there feel the same way. Is there just too many vampires, werewolves and other scary beings out there right now?

I would love to hear your thoughts and just for the fun of it here is my favourite theme tune in the whole world, True Blood, just to make this blog a bit more colourful. Or should I say dark......Mwah Ha Ha....Ok. Il shut up now. Enjoy :)

Youtube Channel :D

Hello there Blogger fans :)

Just a quick little blog to say that Im starting something and getting more into this social networking thing.

Finally just got around to hyping/making better my Youtube channel.

After an attempt last year that I did not like I am not thinking of beginning to upload videos based on all things media...though it will probably be more that most Television reviews. Hopefully will get the first one up tomorrow so here's the link:

Thanks anyone who is actually reading this out there. Lets prove that the Media is not a 'Mickey Mouse' area that many take it to be.

That's one of my missions in life to prove wrong :)

Toast 2010

On the 30th December 2010, the premiere of the TV movie Toast premiered on BBC One in the UK....and I have to say for me it was a simply wonderful hour and a half of teleivison to sit through. :)

Based on the autiobiographical memoirs of chef, Nigel Slater, famed for 'Nigel Slater's Simple Supper's' and directed by S.J. Clarkson, the narrative traces Nigel's childhood life through dealing with the loss of his mother at a young age, his father's re-marriage to the cleaner Mrs Potter, issues of his sexuality and loss of friends whilst throughout following his increasing interest with food.

For me, the story was brilliant and it seems hard to believe that something quite like this actually happened as it was so good.

The film stars Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs Potter and Freddie Highmore as Older Nigel, both well known for their mother and son role in the recent adaption of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' in 2005. They both portrayed their roles brilliantly as would be expected, but for me the film also brought us the audience a first glimpse at the great talent of Oscar Kennedy who portrays Young Nigel for most of the film. His acting, for me was spot on, portraying emotion and comedy at different times brilliant and definately an upcoming talent to watch I say.

Overall, this was a genuine highlight of the 2010 Christmas period and was wonderfully filmed, edited, acted and portrayed and I urge anyone to watch and not want Toast or Lemon Meringue by the end of it.

And if that hasn't wet your appetite here is the trailer to make you want to watch:



Finally SPOILER ALERT - A wonderful touch as well to have the real Nigel Slater at the end to play his boss :)
