Adverts

Virgin Media Short - Butterface.

This short wasn't too bad considering the other Virgin Media Shorts I've seen are awful. I appreciated the way in which the majority of the piece was a single static shot, however I was disappointed when it cut away and also by the fact it seemed to have been shot on one of the cheapest looking cameras I've ever seen.

Virgin Mel B Advert

An embarrassing attempt at making television packages seem hip and comical.

Advert for Scotland

Adverts for places are as irritating as each other.

Ford Kuga

I liked the city made of paper concept, it's just a shame it was wasted on advertising a car.

Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Macadamia

Their advertising campaign is utterly stupid.

Vauxhall Insignia

I actually thought this a film trailer when I saw it. For a car advert though it's really well made, if perhaps ridiculously over-the-top.

Peroni

Beer adverts are always rubbish and this is no exception.

ITV2

I will never watch this channel thanks to this advert.

Honda Insight

I actually really like the Honda adverts. I think they have a good eye for how the make something stand out.

Jack Daniels

I liked this advert the first time I saw it but now all I do is stare at the fat guy's freakishly red mushroom nose.

Orange advert with Emilio Estevez

I still say they should have made that Dennis Hopper one with Blue Velvet references rather than Speed ones.


Trailers

Away Days

I hate football and I hate football violence films so I definitely won't be seeing this.

Red Cliff

The new John Woo film looks well made. The only problem is that it looks like it might be a but heavy-going in terms of big, spectacular war scenes. I did enjoy the fact that the trailer has no dialogue in it.
