You Should Be Watching: Party Down.
There are a lot of TV programmes that have been missed here in the UK and this new column aims to bring them to your attention. It’s a shame as it means we miss out on a lot because of it not being advertised, on an unwatched channel or not even on TV here at all. The latter is what happened to Party Down – it never made it to our TVs.

My 2012 Oscars.
2012 Oscars: My Nominations.
These are my nominations and what I think deserve to be nominated and win. The Oscars are never fair (The Shawshank Redemption didn’t win Best Picture and Hitchcock never won an Oscar etc.) so these could be a take on the Kermodes and are from films that I’ve seen and by the power of deduction from what has been deserved from the past and so on.

Sundance Festival 2012.
As the sun dances –ah, clichés – in Park City, Utah, the Sundance film festival rolls around again where films look for distributors and get them criticised by the critics of the world. Sundance has shown what have been known as classics. In fact, my Memento poster about a foot to my right reads “Official Selection – Sundance Film Festival” so it’s something to boast, to be used as an...

The Alternative Must See Films of 2012.
As you may have read previous articles reflecting on 2011, this article looks ahead instead of behind. It bypasses the blockbusters – the obvious choices; this focuses on films that seem promising but may have been ignored with a lot of the attention being on The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and so on.
