"This reminds me of recording at Sawmills Studios at Fowey in Cornwall. It was a really beautiful environment and, thanks to the estuary, you had to come over by boat, loading the gear on depending on whether the tide was in. Then once you arrived it was this cut-off, really beautiful house. It felt like a holiday camp. Those first days in the studio were so exciting, we almost couldn’t contain ourselves. We were desperate to get in and start setting stuff up. We’d done a lot of four-track demos in the living room of the cottages so we kind of knew what we were doing but it was a very free time. I remember Danny and I being in the main living area there and getting really hooked on Either/Or. I think it was his almost Beatles-like sensibility in terms of his melodies and song structure. The technical side of things always interests me and I saw him doing similar things: finding a way to play four chords in a slightly odd way. His stuff wouldn’t always land on the chord that you expect, which was cool and very inspiring."

Movie Rating Watch

In the first "47 Meters Down," two friends went cage-diving in shark-infested waters and became trapped on the bottom after the line is tragically severed. The sequel takes place in Mexico with four teenagers who are not exactly friends at the beginning cave-diving in an ancient Mayan city that became submerged. One of the girls secretly rendevouses with an underwater explorer who showed her a secret dock where diving gear was being hidden for archaelogists. She then takes her friends to the secret spot one Saturday when two of the girls who are stepsisters are supposed to take a glass-bottom boat to shark-infested waters. The girls then explore the Mayan cave where they find a shark who has become trapped in the caves. The rest of the movie is the friends attempting to escape these blood-thirsty monsters and bonding. Unfortunately, after Florida alligators and a series of killer shark movies, 47 Meters Down Uncaged does not satisfy in any way (both story or camp-wise). The filmmakers and studio knew this or they would not released the film in the middle of August against four other wide releases.

Probably the best Robin Hood film?

Let's be honest, Robin Hood has been done on screen more times than we can count & potentially aside from the animated Disney film, it's probably safe to say Men in Tights is by far the best Robin Hood film out there.

They don't make films like this anymore. It looks terrible, and well that's the point. You really can't beat a good spoof/parody. Cary Elwes makes a wonderful Robin Hood (with a English accent as the film so rightly points out) and the rest of the cast too camp it up to the max. Admittedly this film hasn't aged particularly well and some of the humour isn't quite as funny as I remember, but you can't go wrong with a Mel Brooks film. Man is a genius and the fact that he also appears as Rabbi Tuckman is a brilliant move. Also the Men in Tights song is absolutely hilarious.

It really is a shame they dont make films like this anymore as they'd make the world of cinema a brighter and happier place. Need more writers like Mel Brooks that's for sure!
