The Network Premier of “Driving Lessons” starring Rupert Grint and Julie Walters received great reviews at the film festival in 2006. The film is based on a story about Rupert Grint who plays the character of Ben Marshall, a young teenager, who is extremely shy and loves writing poetry. Ben is the son of two very religious people. His father is a vicar and his mother has a strong faith and does various charitable acts for the local community.
During the summer holidays, Ben meets Evie, an aging actress, who became an alcoholic after her once flourishing career faded in the sunset and she was reduced to acting in daytime soap operas. Evie posted a job ad for a housekeeper and since Ben was looking for a job during the summer, he immediately responded to the ad and was taken on by Evie as her housekeeper. However, because Ben was brought up in a much-protected Christian family where his parents constantly dictated to him, he was not prepared at all for the adventures he was going to have with his new employer.
Despite the fact that the movie was called “Driving Lessons”, the main them centres around how Ben finally plucks up the courage to be his own person and take the driving seat in his own life where he dictates what he will do and not his parents. The movie is very much enjoyable to watch with a lot of emotion, especially on both Ben and Evie’s side. Evie has had a very unhappy life and Ben does everything he can to make her feel happy and needed.
“Driving Lessons” was mainly shot in London, Edinburgh, and Buckinghamshire. It has a lovely soundtrack with music from Nick Drake as well as Richard Thompson and Ben Folds among other artists.
Driving Lessons is likely to be inspirational to all youngsters that feel trapped in the same way that Ben did and maybe taking driving lessons is not such a bad idea to reflect on and hopefully make sense of your life. Life is one big adventure so try and grab every opportunity to enjoy it wherever possible because you never know what will happen tomorrow.

I’ve been itching to get rid of Comcast for quite a while. The issue is they suck you in with their bundles that include voice, high speed internet, and cable television service. When customers want to disconnect one, you miss out on the discounts of the bundle.
But the cable TV setup just has to go, as the service and quality is well below average. With so much discussion these days about high definition, there just wasn’t much of that with Charter cable TV. So I started doing a little research on who else was providing service in my neck of the woods.
I am fortunate to be one of the folks who have been given a few choices. Unlike a few subscribers who can only pick from just the cable company or Direct TV satellite service, I have a third provider in this region. The old telephone company in my area has been upgrading the telephone network. So I have an additional player with AT&T and their U-Verse service.
That doesn’t mean of course I won’t have similar issues. It would place someone in the same boat as with the cable company, as the telephone guys want customers to bundle their television setup with high speed and voice service. If the service works out well, I’ll be happy. But if its not you’re in the same circumstance that I’m in now with the cable operator.
Some evaluations I found are fairly good on telecom TV service. Because it is brand new, there is sometimes a learning curve with a new technology like this, and some customers share their bad reviews. Some of those reviews are the quite amusing, simply for the reason customers decide to write a dissertation on their horrible experience and share it on the internet. Unhappy customers badmouth the company like it is some huge conspiracy to screw the customer, like the company doesn’t want to make money!
Another way to go that I’m seriously considering is of course satellite television. Since we have five television watchers in the house, we have subscribed in the past to a high end cable television package. The satellite TV choices seem to be pretty comparable, as the Premier DirecTV package and the Dish Network Everything package are each about $100 per month. Sure that’s fairly pricey for pay TV, but when you compare that to treating your family to supper and a movie, it really isn’t all that much. Some of my family speak Spanish, so the Direct TV Mas package looks like a winner. The good thing is that there are plenty of Direct TV opinions to help me decide which direction to take.
