Hello everyone

This film is now out on DVD and I have only just got round to watching it due to the fact that i thought it was going to be rubbish I was wrong.....



For those of you that don't know it is about two rubbish cops that get set back to high school in order to find out and send down the person in charge of selling a new synthetic drugs to high school children.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at this film. It was funny, action packed and well acted not to mention a awesome surprise appearance from a very well known actor that put a massive smile on my face. It was well acted and not only been funny it did get across emotions and you felt for the characters. For course though for all the women out there Channing Tatum is as fit as ever and real eye candy, even when he has long hair ( I still thought he was fit). Jonah Hill i was shocked when i saw him on the front cover  but even more in the film. how much weight he had lost and he was looking good.
 The music was awesome and it was a really very enjoyable and entertaining.
So if you want a laugh and you haven't checked it out already give it a go :)

The Five Year Engagement

Hello Everyone!

I realised the other day that it has been a long long time since I reviewed a Rom-com so I thought it was about time I did, so here it is I hope you enjoy it....



Are two main characters are Tom ( Jason Seagel) and Violet ( Emily Blunt). Who  after a year of knowing each other get engaged. But due to things happening it get harder and harder for them to get down the aisle. Tom a Chef puts his career on the sidelines in order for Violet to fulfil her dream in psychology. He gets a job in a college deli and becomes more and more depressed, while she is worried that she is been selfish.
   I am a fan of Jason Seagel's writing and he hasn't disappointed me the writing gives a believable story line ( but of course some of it goes a little over the top for comedic value) What disappointed me with the film was the bland camera angles they did nothing for the movie. Even in what are supposed to be comedic high points in the movie like Violet get shot in the leg with a cross bow. Just seemed to flat line due to the camera angles with in the scene. There were no real memorable moments in this movie, some occasional laugh out loud moments and just a nice story to sit back and enjoy with a glass of wine.

So there you have it and watch this space :)        
   

Tony Scott RIP

Hello Everyone!
 Sad news today I'm afraid the beloved director Tony Scott committed suicide at 12.03pm yesterday. By jumping off a bridge 56ft hight that was over looking Los Angeles.



For those of you that don't know the name you will surely know the films he directed some of them are, Top Gun, Beverly Hills Cop 2, True Romance and Enemy of State plus so many more. He truly was know for his action pictures, and will be truly missed by me and I'm sure many many other people. My thoughts go out to family and friends( I just wish he thought there was another way).

 RIP Tony Scott you were a true inspiration to many and a credit to the film industry.
   

The Watch

Hello everyone!!
So I have finally managed to tear myself away from Breaking Bad and thought I would do a review on The Watch so here it is....

As you can see our four main actors are Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade, and they make the neighbourhood watch. It starts of with Evan ( Stiller) who is a manager at Costco and his night guard is murdered by what the police describe as some kind of beast. Being very pissed off about the whole thing Evan starts a neighbourhood watch, to try and find the murderer. So meet Bob (  Vaughn) a guy just looking for beer buddies, Franklin (  Hill) who failed to get into the police force and Jamarcus ( Ayoade ) who had a fantasy about having sex with an Asian woman because he was part of the neighbourhood watch.  

     This film is a typical lads film, but unfortunately everything was just to obvious and the jokes were just the same kind of thing over and over again ( there are only so many sex and penis jokes one person can handle) they even put in really cheap one when saying the aliens cum is the green slime that appears when they are killed ( desperate or what). 

   There were some amusing bits it in but nothing laugh out loud kind of stuff and every joke just seemed to die. There was no real character development in the movie there pitiful attempt was Evan been sterile so him and he wife couldn't have kids. There was really no need for this it brought nothing to the story at all and was just in my opinion annoying. 

    The thing that kept me watching this movie was the aliens it was interesting to see what they could come up with for a comedy, sci-fi about an alien invasion and the aliens were good, kind of insects crossed with dinosaurs. To be honest over all I was disappointed with the movie, the writing was nothing new, same old lads comedy kind of stuff ( sorry Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg and Jared Stern) The only thing they brought new was the alien invasion ( which started in a Costco the question is why costco? I guess food and everything they "need" is there) but the comedy behind this was just to put it bluntly rubbish.

    Wish I could say something good about the movie but I just can't sorry people. I give this film a 4/10 

Watch this space I will be back soon.           

Breaking Bad

Hello everyone!



So I have been catching up with Breaking Bad as I hadn't seen season 3 or 4 never mind the beginning of season 5. Omg it is awesome I thought the first two were good they just keep getting better and better. For though of you that don't know what this is about here is a brief summary.
 Walter White is a science teacher and finds out that he is dying of lung cancer, so to make sure his family has another money to survive after he has passed he turns to making the best Crystal Meth around but things soon getting out of hand. When him and his partner Jessie get mixed up with the wrong people.
  This is by far one of my favourite seasons to watch at the moment it is full of drama, and is even funny in places. It is gripping and will get you addicted after the first episode. If you haven't seen this yet seriously give it a shot. If you like gun, explosions, some gore, and good script and story lines then this is the series for you check it out. Here is a trailer for you breaking bad trailer so you can see what you have been missing out on.

My Strange Addictions

Hello Everyone



So I have got addicted to watching a TV series on Youtube recently. It is called My Strange Addictions and obviously it is about people that have weird addictions for examples drinking gasoline ( yes she is 20 and she drinks 12 teaspoons of it a day OMG) drinking nail varnish, eating cat food, dry wall and stones and also in love with there car and snorting talc plus many many more. It is interesting, some of them are really hard to believe that people would actually do stuff like that and not realise that is it bad for them. So yeah if you like things like this check it out there are full episodes on youtube I will start you off with this link my strange addiction which is the nail vanish one and have fun peeps.

Rock n' Roll Nerd

Hello Everyone!

My friend got in touch with me the other day and told me I had to watch this documentary on one of my favourite comedians Tim Minchin directed by Rhian Skirving. So of course I did. I am very late in watching it but I had no idea it even existed. It came out in 2008 and it took them three years to film. 



It is about him starting out his career and I literally had no idea how much stuff he went through to try and get to the top. I not going to mention exactly what happens to him. But If you are a fan of him I do recommend watching this. It is very interesting and you really get to see what he is like back stage and in his home environment. Of course you also met his wife that he has been with since the age of 17. I really enjoyed this documentary not just because it was about someone that I like but also because of the amount of time it has taken to do it and and it is very well put together. My friend and I have both gained a whole new respect for him and I'm sure you will too.

Watch this space guys see you soon
