"Living in Hollywood can make you famous. Dying in Hollywood can make you a legend."
A couple of times a year a film is released which doesn't make much noise at the box office, but, through word of mouth promotion is revealed to be a fantastic piece of film making.
Hollywoodland fits nicely into this category of film. It didn't set the box office alight (Collecting $14.415 million in the US and a mere £65,735 in the UK.) however the word of mouth surrounding this film, particularly the surprisingly strong performance of Ben Affleck in his first screen appearance since a cameo in Clerks 2 has made Hollywoodland a film to watch.
Hollywoodland is the story of a Private Investigator (Adrien Brody) looking into the alleged suicide of former TV Superman George Reeves (Affleck), a case which isn't as simple as it first may seem.
Hollywoodland is a truly worthwhile film as the performances are first class, the script is note perfect for the period, and the film develops in a way far more complex that the average detective film.

Mamma Mia!
The best advice I could give about Mamma Mia! is that if you think you won't like a loveable 90 minuite romp through the music of Abba, don't bother going to see the film.
If however, you want to see a film which is incredibly entertaining and great fun, then Mamma Mia! is the film for you.
Mamma Mia makes no pretences and doesn't for one minuite dissapoint, even Pierce Brosnan's incredibly awful singing is entertaining and you are left at the end of the film with a big smile on your face and the songs of Abba playing in your head. If you want a fun trip to the movies, Mamma Mia! is definately the film for you.

Craig reveals interest in filming gay Bond experience
Bond to be more unpredictable?
Daniel Craig talks about Quantum of Solace
James Bond star Daniel Craig has recently spoken of his interest in having James Bond partake in a gay experience during the forthcoming 007 film Quantum of Solace.
The British star, 40, is currently one of the biggest names in popular culture following a string of box office successes such as Casino Royale and The Golden Compass.
Daniel revealed that he believes a gay experience would help to revolutionise the character of James Bond further as such as scene would make the character more unpredictable.
He said: "Why not? I think in this day and age, fans would have accepted it. I mean, look at (British TV series) 'Doctor Who' - that has had gay scenes in it and no one blinks an eye."
It seems as though Daniel Craig is intent in making his incarnation of James Bond one that will never be forgotten, and, if he is able to break down some oppressive barriers in the process, it will be for all the right reasons too.
