Across the Blogosphere ...

I haven't created a post like this for a while. But, when there is some good stuff out there, you blow the horn and let people know. Taking a leaf from Andy Buckle's 'Links' Page, I'll first link to posts you may have missed that I have written before telling you others I recommend. A huge bunch has been written as analysis-posts for Man, I Love Film with reviews of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Guard, but exclusively on Screen Insight I have covered the American Pie trilogy: American Pie, American Pie 2 and American Pie: The Wedding.

Elsewhere, Ryan - of The Matinee - has covered extensively on the Toronto Film Festival. Last year I used his TIFF coverage to help me choose my own choice films from the London Film Festival - indeed, this influence will continue this year...

Kai has also been a busy-bee with his own coverage of the TVIFF festival in California. I believe that during his time covering this festival he managed to nab an interview with actor Mike Wiles (Fight Club and Magnolia to name a few)!

The Kid in the Front Row always delivers with some great content and, only recently, he collected together a bunch of articles he has written on The West Wing. I know he loves it, but alas, I do not. Which reminds me, Jess from Insight into Entertainment also placed up her Top 5 West Wing episodes. I don't like The West Wing - let's just clarify that again.

I have been absolutely loving the LAMBcast of recent months - specifically due to the Rants and Raves of the Week. In fact, if I tune out with the 'main feature', I will skip ahead to the rants and raves. The passion, the frustration ... brilliant!

And finally, Ben Cooper at Anomalous Materials wrote a brilliant write-up about his love for John Williams Schindler's List score. It is incredible and I only wish that more people wrote about soundtracks ... that reminds me... I really should do another Incredible Soundtrack post ...

Simon and Jo Film Show 01/01/2011: Tron: Legacy and THE Top 10 Films of 2010!


Back into the 'dream location' that is the Ritzy in Brixton, the main review is Tron and Jo and I have managed to watch Tron prior to watching Tron: Legacy. This gives us ample opportunity to discuss both films in relation to each other ...

We also manage to cover a bunch of news articles from the last two weeks whilst changing our Top London Box-Office to the Worldwide Box-Office of 2010.

Then, to finish, we reveal our favourite films of 2010. Just like last year, these are revealed to each other at the same time as revealing the information to you dear listener.

Links

Facebook-er of the week is Mark Harrison, whilst we urge you to follow - on twitter - KaffLaws.

Blog of the week is Jess at Insight into Entertainment whereby she has a great game called 'Movie Mash-Up' so check it out and enjoy the fun and games. Click on the links to go directly to the website!

Trailers



Music

All music between the breaks is from the incredible soundtrack to Tron: Legacy by Daft Punk, whilst during the Top 10 Films of 2010 the songs are the sounds from each film - except in the odd case where something wasn't available I got music from the trailer.
