TV Round-Up
The
final episode (e10) of The
White Queen
turned out to be a lot
more interesting on
Starz than it was on
BBC. There was an
unexpected nude scene
from Freya
Mavor, who may
continue in the role of
Elizabeth of York (Hank
Ocho's mom) if Starz
decides to produce The
White Princess,
as adapted from the most
recent book by Philippa
Gregory, the same author
who wrote "The White
Queen" and several other
historic novels ("The
Red Queen," "The Lady of
the Rivers," "The
Kingmaker's Daughter")
which together formed
the basis of The White
Queen TV series.

Patrick
(1978)
Johnny's
comments:
"Saw
the remake of Patrick
yesterday in cinemas, so
with the Bluray of the
original just released,
good time for an update.
And as I predicted 2 and
1/2 years ago, the Patrick
remake just isn't as good,
in fact the first half is
near infuriating with so
many false jump scares
that it for one ten minute
stretch, it becomes
comical with one jump
scare leading to another,
leading to another into
another. The Patrick
remake works best when it
sticks close to the
original's plot, but has
none of the eccentric
weirdness and shamelessly
Hitchcockian style of the
original, it's all very
generic. Also, the remake
take that one extremely
(but brief) odd bit of the
original where the doctor
friend tells the lead
nurse Kathy to check the
comatose Patrick's
erection and completely
blows it out of
proportion. Same with the
spitting. Charles Dance
does a pretty good job as
the Dr. Frankenstein like
doctor and Sharni Vinson
is alright, but Rachel
Griffiths is given nothing
to do except scowl until
her character dies (Julia
Blake is so much better in
the same role in the
original). Rod Mullinar is
the only actor that comes
back from the original
although the woman who
play's Patrick's mother in
the original is also
briefly in it, although I
don't remember her. It's a
misfire, but because the
original is so eccentric,
it was always going to be
hard to recreate.
Now what you're here for,
the nudity. Well, none
from Sharni Vinson, but
there are two scenes where
a nude body double are
used, one briefly during a
sex scene and another in
the bath. Cheki Guillou is
credited as her double.
Also, the scene where
Patrick kills his mother
and her lover is
recreated, this time with
Simone Buchanan in the
role and she shows her
breasts and then briefly
full frontal nudity and
possibly again in the bath
while getting
electrocuted. I think this
is Simone's first on
screen nudity (correct me
if I'm wrong) and she's
looking very good and is a
great surprise considering
she's best known for her
child actor day's and of
course Hey Dad! There is
also nudity (breasts) from
some comatose patients at
a few different times, not
sure who they are or if
they were credited at all.
I think that's it."
On to the classic version:

According to IMDb,
Susan had quite a
hiatus between this
and her next film,
which was in 2008!
