Ever wondered how the other half live? What seven days in the company of one of the UK's most astute movie reviewers would be like? As luck would have it, TheShiznit.co.uk has pulled the exclusive to end all exclusives and has roped in News of the World reporter Paul Ross to share with us the rollercoaster that is his life.

More from Paul next week!

Have to say it, but while the reviews on the shiznit are pretty good, these arcitles that you do Snuggs are IMHO, pretty weak.

Writing is ok, I just dont like the humor. But then, I've been reading Brooker for years.

Hasn't Paul Ross left the News of the World? I'm pretty sure he doesn't write for them anymore.

Fair enough, you didn't like it. It's not one of the better things I've written. But then I don't claim to be a good writer, I'm still learning, that's what this site is all about, I'm trying to get to a professional standard and I obviously still have a long way to go.

To be honest I've actually found some of the humour in these "feature" articles very good. I used to enjoy trawling through the site and reading them.

I think my favourite was the "Richard Norton Antivirus" simply becuase you "cashed in" on the various sales cliches (buy my product and you'll get ...) and the accompyaning pictures were literally hilarious.

The whole thing gave off a certain chiq, as though you'd really put some thought in and had been working on it. The choosing the actor for Hollywood was quite good but again felt rushed.

To be honest I didn't read that as I just didn't like the direction it was taking and I couldn't see the angle you were coming from. I uderstood that Hollywood always go for the "high-flying" actors but in that I just didn't see a relationship.

Stick to the reviews predominantely, you are producing a few too many features at the moment, then go back after deliberating over one for a bit and I think it would improve it.

Meh, just my opinions

Lets have a little less of the "Why I hate..." and "Why I love...", they're not very interesting and I don't usually bother with them. "Cinemassholes" makes for a far more entertaining read.

Really, you should cut back on the articles in general and focus more on the reviews as they're always of a much better standard.
