Melissa George Hates Talking About 'Home And Away'
By Holly Williams in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 23 November 2012
Melissa George may find herself getting angry at the mere mention of recently terminated BBC spy show Hunted after the viewing audience fell almost by half over the course of the series.
The former Aussie soapstar has reportedly been feeling a little touchy in recent interviews when questions about her Home and Away roots have been brought up. She lost her temper on Australia's The Morning Show earlier this month after being asked about it and slated the country's press saying: "I don't need credibility from my country any more, I just need them all to be quiet. If they have nothing intelligent to say, please don't speak to me anymore." She also added that felt she deserved respect for her hard work in the acting business. "My next call will be to Home and Away to ask them to pay me because nobody does more promotion for that f***ing show than me," she insisted.
This wasn't the only time she has shocked the media with her dismissal of her previous work. In a transcript of a telephone interview with mX, she apparently hung up the phone after being asked: "Do you get a lot of Home and Away questions when you're back in Australia?" Since the soap she has starred in numerous TV shows and movies including The Amityville Horror, 30 Days of Night, Alias, Grey's Anatomy and most recently the British espionage drama Hunted where she played undercover spy Samantha Hunter. Given that the ratings for that show fell dramatically over just six episodes, from 4.5 million viewers to 2.6 million, and any chance of a second series has been scrapped, one has to wonder if this action drama flop is enough to cause further embarrassment for the actress.
A Lonely Place To Die Review
By Rich Cline
Excellent
Stunning locations in the Scottish Highlands add a professional sheen to this intense, rather nasty thriller. And a focussed, personal approach makes it thoroughly involving, charging up both the suspense and emotions.
Five friends are hiking in the wilderness when they discover a young girl, Anna (Boyd), buried in a box. The most adept climbers (George and Newman) go for help following a shortcut that involves a dangerous descent, while the others (Speleers, Magowan and Sweeney) take Anna on a safer route. But they're being chased by a pair of merciless killers (Harris and McCole) who need to get Anna back so they can collect ransom money from a shady Eastern European (Roden).
And as things turn very violent, everyone gets increasingly desperate to survive.

The Limey Review
Good
Part of me feels like I didn't really get The Limey. Though it's a spare 85 minutes, director Steven Soderbergh always has a trick or two up his sleeve, and I was sure some twists were in store for me.
Witness Out of Sight, with criminal and cop falling into an unlikely romance. Witness Sex, Lies, and Videotape, which broke the indie film scene wide open. Witness Schizopolis - you know, all of it.

Bring It On Review
Weak
There's a point about 35 minutes into Bring It On where you suddenly realize you're sitting in a movie theater, watching Bring It On, wondering exactly how the hell the events in your life conspired to put your ass in an uncomfortable movie theater seat... to watch Bring It On. But soon you give up, knowing there is no answer to this dilemma, and you resign yourself to watching the next hour of Bring It On, knowing full well that since it's a PG-13 movie, nothing scandalous is ever going to happen to make it interesting.
Going in to this movie, I knew full well it was, well, a movie about cheerleading, so I wasn't expecting another American Beauty (which, now that I think of it, was partly about cheerleading, but anyway...). Suffice it to say that my expectations were low. And sure enough, Bring It On is an utterly vapid film with horrendous character development, hackneyed dialogue, and a questionable theme. No surprise there. Essentially it is Fame in short skirts.

Sugar & Spice Review
Terrible
We all have a threshold of tolerance. With Sugar & Spice, it took about 30 seconds before this was breached for me. A gaggle of five bright smiling high school cheerleaders are introduced through cute snapshot close-ups which describe each of them with such monikers as "the Brain," "the Virgin," and "the Mastermind." The pop-fizz music, pretty-ninny faces, and anorexic bodies immediately shouted: This is not your kind of movie.
I'm willing to accept that. The teenybopper genre is meant to appeal to a younger, less cynical audience. However, it's painful to think that a high school crowd might actually flock to this irresponsible goofball comedy about the ditzy blonde captain of the cheerleader quad, Diane (Marley Shelton), who marries the star quarterback (James Marsden, X-Men) and is pregnant with his baby. Perhaps I'm underestimating teen standards. I sure hope so.

The Amityville Horror Review
By byline1.gif
Bad
The original "Amityville Horror"bored critics in 1979, but created a box office bonanza and spawned sevensequels. Now the studios have commissioned a straight-ahead remake.After all, why go to the bother of writing new stories, or for that matter,coming up with material for another sequel? This way no one needs to thinkof anything at all.
Written by Scott Kosar (the 2003 "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"remake), the new "Amityville Horror" begins in 1974 with a flashbackto the catalyst murders, steeped in darkness and lit by intermittent, flickeringflashes of lightning.
A year later, the Lutz family moves into the creepy housewith the big eye-like windows. George (RyanReynolds) is the second husband of Kathy (MelissaGeorge), who has three children from a previous marriage.
