The Contender
entertainment block
And my role models are a mix of Betty Boothroyd and Anne Widdecombe
Hollywood's fascination with all things White House continues in the struggle for gender equality.

So many stories coming out of Hollywood seem to be fixated with the American Presidency. 13 Days relives the Cuban missile crisis. The West Wing on television looks at events behind the White House doors.

The Contender concentrates on the President's attempts to name a woman as his vice-president and the campaign to prevent this.

The Contender
Quit clapping, he can't see us

Jeff Bridges is the latest actor to take on the role of the most powerful man in the world.

He wants Joan Allen to be his second in command much to Gary Oldman's disgust.

So begins a campaign to discredit the female senator with sex being the ultimate weapon (even though the sex acts in question happened some 20 years earlier).

The Contender
Well Mr Blair, you should get ready for the election by...

It's a film which won't disappoint but won't set the world on fire. And while life behind the White House closed doors might be moderately interesting it does pale when so many programmes seems devoted to the subject.

Would life behind 10 Downing Street be as interesting? Actually, with the foot-and-mouth crisis it probably would!

3/5
