People in the movie business that have died this year.

It is always sad when someone dies and my blog today is going to be in honor of people that have died this year that have either been in films or directed and produced films. So here is some of them...
Eileen Brennan- Clue
Jim Kelly- Enter the dragon
Esther Williams- Dangerous when Wet
Ray Harryhausen- special effects for films like Valley of the Gwangi
Richard Griffiths- Harry Potter, History Boys
Roger Ebert- film critic
Jane Henson- Jim Henson's wife and in charge of henson films such as Mirrormask
David R. Ellis- director of Final Destination and Final Destination 2
Gail Kobe- Peyton Place
Barbara Trentham- Rollerball and she was John Cleese 2nd wife

Every single one of these people brought joy and entertainment to others and there memories will live on with the films and reviews they have written.
I know this was a bit of a depressing and mushy blog but I think we should remember and celebrate their lifes as they brought many of us such joy.
I know I will have failed to mention many other people in this list but unfortunately the list would be to long if I mentioned everyone. But I respect everything they have done as well.

The Worlds End 2013

Hello Everyone,
It has been awhile but I'm back with a review of The Worlds End.
I have always been a big fan of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. My favourite been there TV series spaced. After seeing Paul I must admit that I thought that they might of lost there way abit. It wasn't as funny as their previous films. So I was abit apprehensive about The Worlds End.
It was however alot better than I expected the characters were well protrayed and jokes were many and funny.
I loved the relationship between Simon's character and Nick's I think everyone has that friends that if something really bad happened you still couldn't not be friends. I love that the movie keeps you guessing about the thought process of Simon's character, you feel sorry for him but at the same time you keeps asking yourself why? Why does he what to finnish the golden mile so much that he puts himself and everyone else in danger. You start to question his motives is he insane or is there something deeper.
There were bits where it was hard to see what was going on in some of the fight senes but there was alot going on it such a small space so I can forgive that.
The one bit that really annoyed me was near the end Simon and Nick have this drunken argument with the reason behind why everything was happening. I loved the argument it was well scripted and acted and everything but when the voice they are arguing with just goes fine everyone in the cinema kind of went what? That was way to easy. Is that really it?
All in all the film was good it was funny action packed and kept you entertained. This film proved that the ain't going out on a flop. They have mentioned that this is that last of these types of films by them. And with that I and sad but they have proved to everyone that they have stopped at the right time.
I would like to think they will change there mind but if they don't then fair enough. I can imagine this isn't the last we are going to see of them though.
So to wrap things up I recommend that if you haven't seen it then you should. It is a laugh and if you like their previous films you are sure to like this one.
