Hollywoodland - bollocks

WARNING: Spoilers ahead - read it anyway you will be more annoyed going to see this knobcheese.

This was supposed to be my review of Hollywoodland, which had been talked up to me. Its the true story of George Reeves, who in the 1950s played Superman in the TV version. Reeves was typecast as Superman, and when that was canned he topped himself.

Hollywoodland follows a Private Investigator (Adrien Brody), who has been hired by Reeves (Ben Affleck) mother who suspects he was murdered! DA DA DAAA. So the whole thing turns into who-dun-it, which was reasonably enjoyable. Until the completely unfulfilling ending. He DID kill himself. So after finding out that he was having an affair with a big crooked studio boss, he seemed just the type to kill, and told all the holes in the case - and getting wound up in the suspense - oh no he did kill himself.

In short the film is: Oh my god George Reeves killed himself! But maybe he didnt?? Da Da Daaa. Oh no, he definitely did.

Dont bother with it, utter waste of time!

In other more exciting news, my package has arrived from Amazon! What was in it you ask?
- The League of Gentlemen: Are Behind You! (new live DVD)
- Little Britain: the interactive DVD game, featuring games like Name that Gay!
- Do the Right Thing - the only film from my top 5 that I didnt own, and...
- Spaced series 1 and 2 collectors edition (great show by the guys who made Shawn of the Dead).

As you can tell my week will be fairly full!
