Bright Young Things (2003)

Bright young things, the best film EVER

[10/10 · 19 April 2006]

When i first saw Bright Young Things it was because my elder sister Florence had made we watch it when she was in charge of the remote control. i wasn't really paying any attention until Adam was left by his fiancé-to-be Nina. I think that David's appearance in this film was absolutely great as that was the first time that i'd ever seen him with ginger hair and a moustache. My favourite character was Agatha (played by Fenella Woolgar) and especially after she went mad. I didn't quite understand what happened to her until the film literally pushed my to books etc... to buy the book. The most devastating part of the film must have been when Miles (Michael Sheen) reveals that he is gay. The funniest character was definitely the drunken major as he never had the time (or the place) to give Adam his money. Jim Broadbent brought a great light to the film seeing as i was a bit disappointed and felt like crying a) when Adam lost his fiancé-to-be Nina and b)when the man at the train station refused to give Adam his story book named 'Bright Young Things'

Secret Smile (2005)

the film was great, Tennant was even better (not to mention sexy) and the plot was very cool too

this film was actually one of the best films that i've seen and the fact that David Tennant was in the film made me want to see it after his brilliant appearance in Casanova and not to mention Doctor Who. i felt like it was my duty to see this film and considering that i don't usually watch anything that appears on ITV1 unless it's a film that i am sure of. David Tennant's appearance stunned me and i really like the last few minutes. great film, i'd recommend it to anyone, any time, any day. The whole film gave me shivers and the cold, cruel character that David Tennant played was such an indescribable character and my god it is now my favourite film. I was told that i should watch it because it's my sort of film and not to be mean but the beginning bored me a bit but i soon got the gist of the film nd went with the flow. there is so much that i want to say about how i feel towards the film but the only problem is how to put it into words. The film was great, Tennant was even better (not to mention sexy), and the plot was very cool,too. i wish that i had been there when the film was actually being made as it makes me want to cry yet it also makes me want to kill some of the characters. I'd never seen David Tennant play such a chilling and mysterious character before and it was such an abrupt change from his character as the Doctor and Romeo (Romeo and Juliet). This film is a must-see so make it top of your priority's to see this film J.
