Worst 5 films to sit through

... i.e. I had no choice but to keep watching.
5. Bride Wars
It was fine. That's pretty much all I could find to say about it.
Honestly it's fairly dire but there you go. There are a couple of funny scenes, a lot of painful ones but if you like something fluffy with zero originality to it and a really cheesy ending, then it's the perfect film for you...

4. Wills and Kate - true movie
This is so bad it's laughable. 1. the English do not generally live in timberframe houses in the middle of Scotland, play football in their spare time, wear golfing jumpers or speak in posh accents. 2. which part of this was true??

3. The King's Speech
Everyone raved about this film and said it was brilliant, beautiful and properly British but if you ask me it was bloody awful. I mean, the entire film is dark, Colin Firth was playing Colin Firth (i.e. Mr. Darcy, Mark Darcy, Geoffrey in St. Trinians) and his 'stutter' just drove me crazy, nothing happened for most of the film and after the first fifteen minutes I wanted to walk out of the cinema!

The only good comments I have are that Helena Bonham Carter should have got the Oscar not Colin Firth and Ramona Marquez (played Princess Elizabeth and Karen on the TV show Outnumbered) was so adorable I actually bothered to watch her scenes.

2. The Day after Tomorrow
Please never ever ever make me sit through this film again. It's laughable terrible, especially the bit where they burn the books in the library, even though they are surrounded by wooden chairs and tables which probably would have worked better. And the fact that Jake Gyllenhull is chased down a street by the cold is also pretty amusing.

1. Father of the Bride (1 or 2)
I was told this film was 'hilerious'... five minutes in and I was bored... half and hour in and I wanted to shoot myself. Believe me when I say that there is nothing funny about either film. Then again I do find most films with Steve Martin in annoying so maybe that's just me... even so, if I ever have to sit in front of either film again, I might honestly shoot myself.

Top 10 Driving Songs

Obviously I don't mean when I'm driving (I'm 15 by the way) but when my mum's driving and we're listening to whatever music is on!
10. Kids by MGMT - ok so after the first couple of minutes, the lyrics seem to go exactly the same and I get bored but the tune and the opening are so awesome I just listen to the start again and again and again until my mum insists we change the song. It's a great, upbeat tune and you'll be humming the opening literally at THE MOST random points of the day (like when you're in a queue at the supermarket!).

9. Just Can't Get Enough by The Saturdays - this song is played so often on the radio that i think every teenager in the UK at least has to know it. The perfect song to play when zooming down a road in a convertible (I wish).

8. Ruby by Kaiser Chiefs - I remember this song coming out and my mum singing it constantly which seriously embarrassed me at the time but now I think she's actually pretty cool! Whenever this song comes on, the two us sing with the volume on full, so to me it's a great song to zoom down the motorway on.

7. So What by P!nk - fab, girly-rock song! THE song I sing with my best friends at school or on the bus! Upbeat and unusually uplifting!

6. The Theme to St. Trinians by Girls Aloud - this film came out over 3 years ago (wow, that makes me feel old!) and if you haven't seen it, is it one of the funniest, feel-good films I have ever seen! This song is one of those that you can scream from the rooftops and not die of embassment because everyone else joins in with you!

5. Sherry Darling by Bruce Springsteen - my parents used to play Springsteen constantly when I was younger (or at least in my memories they did) and I love driving along singing his music. I like his modern slow stuff but I think it's his older stuff which is perfect for a long car journey in summer, especially the awesome chorus of this song!

4. Shut up and Drive by Rihanna - just great girly pop. Something to dance to that keeps you going!

3. Sit Down by James - this is a fairly old song (well, 1989 so not that old but it's older than me) but I love it! It's one of those songs that you can almost instantaneously pick up the chorus of and then sing along to all the time. The perfect song for a road trip!

2. There She Goes by The La's - ok, god knows how many times I have put this song down but it really does fit most categories. Whenever it's a sunny day though and I'm driving along a country road and this song comes on, it just finishes the scene off perfectly, so that it's practically a movie moment!

1. Headlong by Queen - awesomely, increibly fantabulous rock song... what more can I say! The We Will Rock You version is also incredibly awesome!
