“I’m not exactly sure what happened, but it was awesome.” Billie reflects on the mind-blowing, time-bending Lost season opener. If you saw it, relive it. If you didn’t, catch up now.
I recently sat down with the film’s young stars to chat about the film’s significance to today’s teens and their wild ride battling huge special effects while never losing sight of the story’s real meaning: embrace what makes you different, and you might just change the world.
What counts here is that Green and crew take a simple premise—survive the elements—to believable physical and psychological extremes. There wasn’t a moment in the film when I didn’t wonder what I would do if I were hanging up there too.
The central romance isn’t convincing, there are many reasons why Nick might become infatuated with Sheeni but virtually none vice versa. Sure they share a strange taste in culture but other than that Sheeni seems a far more attractive person; both physically and emotionally. Cera struggles to make Nick anything other than a slightly creepy weirdo, though his interpretation of Francois is skilfully restrained and rather fun.
“Edge of Darkness” is that most frustrating of things; a mystery without intrigue. Everything the plot offers is brutally obvious from the outset, with only brief instances of uninspired action to break-up the tedium.

After being reinvigorated with the comedic spirit thanks to Betty White’s wry, witty and laugh- out-loud funny speech at the SAG Awards the other night, it makes me even more appreciative of 2010’s first real rolling in the aisles, laugh-out-loud funny comedy - WHEN IN ROME.
