As I queued up the first episode of Netflix’s “One Day,” I was reminded of the words of a great man: “I am ready to get hurt again.”
“One Day” of course shares its title and source material with David Nicholls’ 2009 novel and Lone Scherfig’s 2011 film — but in Nicole Taylor’s episodic version (executive produced by Nicholls) starring Ambika Mod and Leo Woodall, the story finds its wings, telling the story of Emma (Mod) and Dexter (Woodall) over decades with a snapshot of just one day in the year.
The episodic structure lends itself beautifully to Nicholls’ premise, letting each year breathe and allowing viewers to settle into Emma and Dex’s shifting dynamics — and by extension, the wider world of nebulous relationships. There is the night they (almost) slept together, the day they miss each other’s calls, the trip to Europe (with one bed), the catastrophic...

David Nicholls’ romance One Day has been adapted for the screen for a second time, this time on Netflix: here’s the trailer.
Novelist David Nicholls has had considerable success as a screenwriter, from penning episodes of Cold Feet and BBC dramas The 7:39 and Aftersun to adapting his own novels Starter For Ten and Us.
His most well known novel, One Day, was previously adapted into a 2011 film by Nicholls himself. Directed by Lobe Scherfig, it saw Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess take on the central roles of Emma and Dexter, alongside Patricia Clarkson, Ken Stott and Romola Garai. It received middling reviews which particularly criticized Hathaway’s Yorkshire accent.
A new adaptation is heading to Netflix, this time as a limited series. The synopsis reads as follows:

Christmas Books That Were Turned Into Movies ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Not everyone likes reading books. It demands a big chunk of your time and a lot of concentration. And come on, let’s be real, why bother when you can easily watch a two-hour movie adaptation that covers all the important scenes and leaves out all the fillers? Besides, even for the most avid book readers, diving into Christmas-themed books might not be very high up on their list of holiday priorities. So, what better way to fill in that book void on Christmas than by watching some Christmas films based on books?
Here are 5 holiday-themed books that were turned into movies.
1. The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017)

In one of this year’s better holiday movies, Netflix’s Let It Snow, two teens belt out the Waterboys’ “Whole of the Moon” in an empty church, their voices unskilled but sincere. Tobin (Mitchell Hope) plays the organ while “The Duke” (Kiernan Shipka) sings along — you don’t need to know much else beyond the fact that Tobin has been hopelessly in love with Angie, a.k.a. the Duke, for years — and the lyrics of this 34-year-old song are the only words that do when expressing that.

We’ve got a trailer for you to check out for an upcoming Netflix original holiday movie called Let it Snow. The movie is based on the book of the same name by John Green, Maureen Johnson, and Lauren Myracle. Green is the author of other great Ya novels that made it to film, like The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns.
The typical Christmas-themed movies out there that are made for TV and now streaming services tend to lean toward the cheesy and predictable. I think this movie looks well-written and refreshing.
The film is being directed by Luke Snellin and has a super talented cast that includes Isabela Moner (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men), Joan Cusack (School of Rock), Odeya Rush (Goosebumps), Jacob Batalon (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Shameik Moore (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Mitchell Hope (Descendants), Miles Robbins (Halloween), Mason Gooding...

"Christmas Eve bash - come one, come all! Boom!" Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for a holiday ensemble comedy titled Let It Snow, arriving in just a few weeks to watch streaming this holiday season. When a snowstorm hits a small midwestern town on Christmas Eve, a group of high school seniors find their friendships and their love lives colliding thanks to a stranded pop star, a stolen keg, a squad of competitive dancers, a mysterious woman covered in tin foil, and an epic party at the local Waffle Town. The film stars Isabela Merced, Shameik Moore, Kiernan Shipka, Odeya Rush, Jacob Batalon, Miles Robbins, Mitchell Hope, Liv Hewson, Anna Akana, and Joan Cusack. This looks like one of those charming, goofy, completely obvious, formulaic feel-good holiday flicks. Maybe it's what we all need right now? Enjoy.

The low budget initiative will be run at Edinburgh Napier University for a second year.
A search for Scotland’s next generation of talented film-makers has been launched for a second year, with a call for screenplays.
Contemporary Scottish stories are being sought by lo-fi, a low budget film initiative run by Screen Academy Scotland - a Creative Skillset Film & Media Academy at Edinburgh Napier University.
lo-fi Phase 1 will see up to six screenplays developed over an eight month period by up-and coming Scottish talent.
The projects will then be pitched to an industry panel, where one screenplay will be selected for advanced development and financing – lo-fi Phase 2.
Last year, five Scottish film-making teams were selected for lo-fi and now, after three development workshops, the finance panel chose the feature film Rocket Surgery (written by Glaswegian writer Stewart Thomson, to be directed by Luke Snellin) to go forward for financing and intended production.

"Short films eh? They're just practice before you make a real film."
In my career as a short film programmer, the above is a phrase I hear with depressing regularity. Sure, many directors make shorts before they make feature films (including Mike Leigh, Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick) but to dismiss them as "practice" would seem a bit unfair. Nobody says Kafka's short stories are rubbish because they're not the length of a novel.
A short film is an art form in its own right and to make a great short requires innate skill and immense talent.

You may not have heard of Luke Snellin, and that would make him one of the most talented and promising young filmmakers that you haven’t heard of. Don’t believe us? Watch some of his films, including "Disco" and "Mixtape" below, and you may just change your mind. It’s with a great deal of excitement then that we’re able to report on the news, via press release, that the BAFTA-nominated writer/director will soon be directing his debut feature. We may have another Rupert Wyatt/Joe Cornish/Richard Ayoade/[insert name of talented, young British director here] on our hands.
His debut will go by the name of “The Wanderers,” and will be a “non-conventional Brit Pop teen musical set in Colchester in 1996.” The story will follow a 16-year-old as he encounters sex and relationships for the first time as his band (the titular “The Wanderers”) strive to become the next big Brit Pop sensation.

As the great and good are quickly ushered out of London's salubrious Royal Opera House, shoved into the nearest waiting limo and whisked to their respective after-show parties, the time has come to tally and take stock of the big winners at this year's British Academy Film Awards.
As with all of the major films awards of 2010 thus far, the big battle at this year's Baftas was between James Cameron's Avatar and his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker and the big winner on the night was Ms Bigelow who blew away all the competition with a grand total of six awards including (surprisingly but brilliantly) Best Film and Best Director. Avatar, meanwhile, was relegated to two relatively minor awards for Best Production Design and Best Special Effects.
Quite how this will affect the runners and the riders for this year's Oscars remains to be seen but it...

Why hasn't Bafta done more to give back the British film industry its self-esteem?
The Brits aren't coming
As Avatar nudges box office history, British films are having a tough time at home. Despite warm reviews and wide media coverage, films such as Me and Orson Welles, Nowhere Boy, Fish Tank and Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll have returned frankly rubbish UK audience figures. But is this any surprise when our own awards body relegates British film to its own sub-ghetto? Don't last week's Bafta nominations basically suggest that British film is a weedy cousin to Hollywood, not worthy of playing with the big boys but allowed instead a tiny playground category of its own? British film cannot possibly grow in confidence and ambition when it receives such limiting knocks from its compatriot peers. The message it sends out, to both audiences and film-makers here, is thus muddied and unhelpful. In...

The nominations for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards were announced this morning, and leading with eight each are An Education, Avatar, and The Hurt Locker. The line-up looks much like what we’ve seen in earlier awards with the obvious skew towards British-born selections like Carey Mulligan, underrated comedy In the Loop, and first time director Duncan Jones.
Notable snubs include Bright Star shut out in every category but costume, Avatar missing a spot for screenplay to The Hangover, and Sam Rockwell for Moon.
Winners will be announced February 21. Here are the nominees:

Robert here, with a quick take on the BAFTA Nominations announced this morning. Here are the nominees with a few comments.
Best Film
Avatar
An Education
The Hurt Locker
Precious: Based On The Novel Push By Sapphire L
Up In The Air
Ahhh, the days of five nominees flashing back. All expected to make the Oscar final 10 (and perhaps a little helpful push for the sophisticated An Education).
Outstanding British Film
An Education
Fish Tank
In The Loop
Moon
Nowhere Boy
Director
Avatar James Cameron
District 9 Neill Blomkamp
An Education Lone Scherfig
The Hurt Locker Kathryn Bigelow
Inglourious Basterds Quentin Tarantino
Those who believe District 9 is peaking will have much to squawk about here. It will still take much to break into what's the current expected five. Still, thank you BAFTA for throwing in a few differences here and there.
Original Screenplay
The Hangover Jon Lucas, Scott Moore...

2009 was an amazing year for British film. The BAFTA longlist has James Cameron’s Avatar and Jason Reitman’s Up In The Air go up against Tarantino’s glorious Basterds and our pick of the year, Duncan Jones’ sublime Moon, we also have A Single Man and An Education showcasing a wealth of talent.
In The Loop is picking up screenwriting awards and Carey Mulligan’s disappointment at the Golden Globes earlier this week may be short lived. Will Avatar leaves will a handful of golden faces to go with its solar system of globes? That so many great films are being placed under a BAFTA shaped spotlight is a testament to the variety and capability of the actors, directors and crews working today.
The BAFTA shortlist is a clear indication that there is much to celebrate in the industry and while the winners may divide critics and audiences when...
