Stevie - 2008 **

'Stevie' is an awfully bad film. It's badly made, badly shot and badly acted. The young girl playing the victim looks like she's been asked to act in the most wooden way possible and doesn't seem to react to anything, good or bad.
I know you can't always expect much from 'made for tv' films but this was scraping the barrel to the extreme. 'Children's evil imaginary friends' films can be terrifying if done correctly, but this was neither scary, nor entertaining in the slightest.  

Broadcast News - 1987 ***

Not a bad film actually, and Holly Hunter was excellent as producer to William Hurt and the love interest to Albert Brooks. This reminded me a bit of the other movie based on TV that I saw a while ago that I didn't think much of....

It's always interesting to see how much things have changed when watching a film that involves 'up to date' tv equipment. It looked totally out of place and totally unfashionable. HA! 'Network' is the name of the film I was trying to remember which to be honest was pretty dire in comparison to this.

Yet again another film that I put off watching when in fact it was well worth the wait. I need to start changing my assumptions on films.
