  • The Hangover

    This is possibly the funniest film I have seen all year. WHen I saw Role Models , there were some laugh out loud moments but this was hilarious!

    I was laughing throughout and they are the kind of jokes that won't get old, hence my determination to pre-order that on dvd.

    Highly recommended - to all!

  • Online Chatter

    So I just remembered one of the better things about MSN - you could look back at the chat history!
    I say could because I don't use it anymore and so I don't really know if you can still do that.
    And why is that such as good thing?
    Well, at the moment the only online chat I use is facebook messenger which is rather temperamental. In terms of chat, facebook is so behind - correct me if I am wrong and you can actually look back at conversations, but the amount of hilarious conversations I have had or times I have needed to call someone up on what they have said...these things roll by as I can't revel in the memories.
    On one hand you could say that I really should stop living in the past and remeniscing over every situation I get myself into, but that is just the way I am. So brushing that aside shouldn't facebook give me the option to look back further than the day before?
    Thinking about it, it's probably better that I can't look these things up - test my memory!

  • Waltz with Bashir

    I just watched Waltz with Bashir and I can't seem to get it out of my head. First of all it's an amazing film which I would recommend to everyone.

    Somehow it has left me with this kind of stillness. It was coming to the end and I found myself hoping for a final sentence to end it and finalise everything but I knew it wouldn't happen.
    Whenever I am telling myself to keep it together I always start blinking and I have been doing so for the last 30 mins.

    Absolutely amazing.

    It opens your eyes to the sorts of things people go through, and to anyone who is thinking why animation: it is totally appropriate and you have to see it to understand why. I could attempt some kind of explanation but I'm sure I wouldn't do it justice.

    Just watch it, 5/5 without a doubt.

  • Baggage Claim

    Don't you love to travel?? I just came back from sunny Jamaica, but one thing has just struck me about the whole airport debarcle. I know realise why it is called baggage Claim.

    Of course you are meant to collect your luggage therefore claiming it as yours - but that is not the real claiming going on! I went to the conveyor belt and stood a fair distance back - meaning 3 to 4 steps - so that I could see my bag in the distance and have enough time to drag it off - filled with goodies of course! However some people find it necessary to block the path and Claim a front row standing postion! So 3 people -one by one mind you - came and stood directly in front of me as if I were not trying to look for luggage, like it was my pasttime to stand and look at other peoples suitcases! I was not amused, and resolved to barge past them if my cases came by. However I thought better of this and moved away and started the whole process again, only this time everytime someone got a footstep in front of my I huffed loud enough for a steam train and moved my one suitcase as if I were incredibly laboured. This didn't stop them, didn't make me feel any better either, but luckily my last suitcase took so long that by the time it came out most of the crowd had left and my original waiting area - complete with breathing space - was free again!

  • Mars Bars

    I got a pack if 3 mars bars for free yesterday - i think it was yesterday! And I suddenly realised that they are quite nice. You know how you go through phases of eating things, well I liked Mars as a young child then decided they were too sweet and thick for my liking. Then the other night I was chomping my way through a big pack of Mars Planets and enjoying them more and more. Now I am an official fan.
    One thing I wasn't too impressed with was the fact that when I went into a newsagent (for the first time in like 3 weeks) and they were selling jelly snakes (yes the long ones with yellow bellies!!) the man tried to charge me 35p for it! I remember when they are 15p!!
    Those were the days

    lol
    And no I didn't buy it, that would ruin the principle, plus I'd propbably decide I didn't like them anymore. ha ha

  • Fighting

    In the absence of my februar issue of Empire (silly mess up on their part and I am still waiting for it!! boo hoo i hopei get compensation!) I haven't really found out about many films on the horizon. However on a standard trip to IMDB.com to investigate the fit new intern from ER (Julian Morris, and yes he is English as I thought) I sat a very intruiging picture. Terrence Howard and Channing Tatum - now that is a film that would need to be seen, as said film is called Fighting.
    Okay so by the title it seems like a bit of a high concept outing but from the trailer it has a lot of heart and of course with these two main men it will be engaging. So my list of 2009 films to watch gets ever longer, if only by one, and when my Empire arrives (any day now fingers crossed) the list will inevitably grow!
    Here is the link to the trailer let me know what you think.

  • Nearly Famous

    If you ever watched Nearly Famous - a series that came on E4 last year, don't you think we should make a petition for a second season, or at least a DVD release?
    The reason for my sudden outcry is that I have just finished reliving it on 4OD and once again realise how incredible it was, is and should continue to be!! Even though so many of the characters are rather annoying thats what makes it like an actual college, and a good programme always needs someone to hate right? Plus it ended on such a cliff hanger! By the end - I don't want to give it away for all of you who are about to download and watch it (DO IT NOWWWWW) - you are really loving the main characters and rooting for them. It would be a shaame if there wasn't a continuation or commemoration of the event.

    Long Live Nearly Famous!!

  • Tonight We Dine in CGI

    In case you haven't seen 300, any poster section in any shop or was absent from cinema for the whole of 2006 - the title is a reference to Zack Snyders popular film 300.
    Last night I finally got to see what everyone was raving about - and I do see why.
    Forgetting the huge use of CGI for a moment, the acting was really good, especially Lena Headey as the Queen of Sparta and Rodrigo Santoro as Xerxes. They were both great characters and really convincing. I'm not discounting Gerard Butler's career boosting performance as King Leonidas, because he was inspiring and seemed to fill the role as if it were his own story but when Xerxes first appeared the way he was presented was awe - inspriring and fitting for someone who considers themselves a God. Also compared to Leonidas he seemed to tower over him - Makes me wonder how tall Rodrigo is in real life.
    The production made it a truly worthy representation of the epic battle that was, and the writing was spot on.
    I would recommend it to most people - unless you have any problems seeing severed bodies, corruption, loinclothes or gratuitous beards.......

  • Roses are Red...

    There is this great track that I just keep on hearing on the radio and in shops - can u believe - and its one of those great revival tracks from the old skool that need to be shared.
