Wild Child. A Review for Wicked's Silver Screen.
|
Wild Child, by Sofia Taylor.
Poppy Moore has American style chutzpah by the bucketful. Barely seconds in to the film she jumps 200 meters from her Dad’s LA pad straight in to the Pacific Ocean and the pace of ‘Wild Child’ rarely lets up after that. Dispatched overseas to British boarding school (like her mother) Poppy prepares herself for life in England by bringing her own water (San Pellegrino, natch), her i-phone (for calling her therapist) and a designer wardrobe to shame Carrie Bradshaw. All in an adorable pink leather trunk.
Her school chums range from the kind and thoughtful, Kate to the little bit strange, Drippy, to the out and out mean, Harriet. But Poppy isn’t interested in making friends, she has her heart set on getting expelled from Abbey Mount School and back to Malibu asap. An ambition her dorm gal pals are only too keen to help her achieve, with great dollops of English warmth, humour and attitude with the launch of ‘Operation Freedom’! Poppy may have come prepared for Seasonal Affective Disorder but not for the capability of the typical English schoolgirl.
Soon ‘Operation Freedom’ is in trouble, not with getting in to trouble, that seems to be working fine, courtesy of filling the swimming pool with big foam ice-bergs and winding up the French master about his love life. But Poppy is beginning to fall in lurrve, not just with ‘the Fredster ‘(the Head’s son), but with having real friends and her life at school in England. So, when she suddenly finds she’s getting what she wants, a ticket outta there, Poppy begins to wish that maybe she’d done things differently. If only it wasn’t too late….
‘Wild Child’ starring Emma Roberts is on General Release 15th August.

Emma Robert’s Wild Side.
|
Wild? Wicked reporter Sofia Taylor nearly went totally nuts when she heard she was going to LA to interview, ‘Wild Child’ star Emma Roberts. Luckily she managed to reign in her excitement and conduct a Wicked interview.
Here it is…
Given than Emma’s character Poppy gets to come to England in the film Wild Child it only seems fair that I should go to LA to interview HER. However, once 6,000 miles away from home and knocking on Emma’s trailer I begin to get the fear. This is, after all Julia Robert’s niece. Will she let me look her in the eye? Will she answer my questions about English men? Will she notice I didn’t have time to get a manicure?
However, minutes in to the interview we’re chatting like old mates.
Hey Emma, your character Poppy, is she anything like you? “My character Poppy is basically a materialistic Los Angeles girl, my friends say she is a bit like me, but only because she’s sarcastic!”
I see, and was your experience of school similar to Poppy’s? “I never went to high school. I was basically home schooled, so I had to think way way back to middle school, luckily that was all girls though”.
Wow, and so how did you get in to acting, was it because of your Aunty Julia? “I used to totally hang out on set and make friends with everyone, and yes, I started thinking, hey that’s what I want to do. I never wanted to go home.”
Any English blood in you? “Ha, I should think so somewhere, not enough though, I want an English accent!”
And here’s the big question…..so working with, HEART THROB, Alex Pettyfer, how was that? “Really great, we all had such a great time both on and off set. It was a real laugh”.
Hmm I see, not quite the answer I was hoping for. And your favourite role so far? ”Poppy! It was so much fun to wear the blonde wig, and dress up in her cute and outrageous clothing”.
Who wouldn’t love that? And what next for Emma Roberts? ‘Maybe a thriller or a horror movie!”.
So I left Emma, confident my sub standard manicure had not been noted, and headed like Poppy back to England, thankfully not to Abbey Mount school and a life changing experience but, to London for a nice cup of tea and a decent manicure. A manicure? Maybe LA and meeting Emma had changed me more than I thought!

The Art of Snogging!
|
There are many ways to learn the sacred art of snogging. But as Georgia in “Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging” found out – practise at snogging lessons is the best way to get it right. But not all of us have a kissing guru like Peter Meyer down the road! So we started thinking here at Wicked Towers that maybe snogging is something that can be taught. We immediately sent off Sofia Taylor to find out and to write a proper good guide to great snogging. This is what she found out:
Sofia’s Taylor’s Proper Good Guide to Great Snogging.
After a lot of chat with Georgia Nicolson provided me with what I’m going to call the key ingredients needed for lip to lip success.
Here they are:
t. Sixth Form College might be better. Friends of your brothers or sisters can be good for presenting you with options but if you take this option be warned it can mean an increase in the amount of time your siblings spend running in to your room shouting embarrassing things about you which they made up.
2. Preparation. Think cheesy wotsits BAD preparation, a mint, GOOD preparation.
3. Location. Think about your location. There are good locations, like on the walk home, or a local outdoor swimming pool like Georgia, and there are bad locations, on a train or watching TV with your parents. Sometimes it is impossible to choose your location and you have to just make the best of it but if you can, always go for somewhere nice and pretty with good access to a café for buns and tea if it all goes wrong.
4. What to say afterwards. A tricky one. Silence is good, but if the silence goes on for more than five minutes it’s not so good. Bad things to say include: ‘you’re not as good as your brother’ or ‘that was the worst experience of my life’. Good things to say should be on a theme of ‘I wouldn’t mind trying that again’, or ‘wow, you’re lovely’.
So there we have it. A big thank you to Georgia for sharing her experience of being a perfect snogger and finding the perfect snogging partner, and I hope you’ve learnt from some of my mistakes!!
