Chernobyl Diaries 2012

Urgh typical stupid decisions that people make in these types of films. They are Planning on going to Moscow and at the very last minute, like on the day they are ment to be going they decide to go to Chernobyl with a guy one of them ( Paul) met the night before called Yuri. I mean come on who with common sense would actually do that!!
Ok so when they get their, there is military guys that say there are doing maintenance in Chernobyl, so the tour guide takes them round a back way. Which they all find a little odd and that something isn't quiet right, except one that is like it is going to be fine blah blah blah ( I think he will die first or if not first one of the first to die lets see shall we...)
So Yuri takes them around and obviously knows that there is something about the place that means they should not be there but he carries on. Until they are in the apartments and they hear noises. So I was like finally something big is going to go down it is getting close to dark they have seen a creepy fish and a dead dog. And what is it..... A BEAR OF COURSE urgh what the hell is this....
  HA yet more obvious situations they get back to the van and guess what.... you got it it doesn't start and when they try and get radio contact that doesn't work either. Can anyone else see where this is going. It gets dark they can't go anywhere and they think they can hear a baby cry.... Is this suppose to make me scared....
  So shit goes down and one of them is hurt yay finally but not dead so I'm not happy yet. Further on into the film oh look we found the missing walkie talkie and a path of blood what is the sensible thing to do... oh yh as with all horror films... follow it yay thats a good idea not!!
  So it is near the end of the movie the van they were in is destroyed they find one of them that was in it then she get taken away and zombie/ deformed people chase them. Still not scared by the way the camera work is so shaky you have no idea what is going on, not to mention when anything happens it is dark so that makes it even harder to see.
  So there are 2 left the idiot that got 3 of them to go  in the first place and one of the girls.They keep getting into areas with massive amounts of radiation that is starting to effect them. So yet more fighting the weird people with so much shaky cam it is unreal and and the radiation has made one of them blind. Until he gets shot by a guard hmmm ok...
  The other one gets saved and taken to what she is told is hospital and shoved in a cell with a load of the same creatures. Yh the end....
   So nothing at all was explained as to what the hell was going on. All the "scary" bits were predictable and you couldn't tell what was happening half the time. There was next to nothing character development, plus none of them were very likable. Even Friday the 13th had more character development then this. It was badly put together, badly filmed and crap script and action all in all the worst film i have seen this year so far!!

Red Dwarf X

So it finally happened Red Dwarf is back. I must admit I wasn't sure about it. After season 7 and 8, then Back to Earth which to put it bluntly were crap. They lost there edge and just weren't as funny any more.
Then two days ago the first episode of Season Ten came out.... I was pleasantly surprised, I found it funny, it didn't lose its cheesiness, put cleverly thought out jokes.
  I lot of people have been very picking about the fact that holograms aren't suppose to age. True they aren't but they couldn't really stop Chris Barrie from ageing now could they, get over it, it couldn't be helped, it has been over ten years. Most of the cast has changed Robert Llewellyn is a little chubbier which can be seen through his new costume, Craig Charles look a lot older and slightly rough, and Chris Barrie has aged to well. Danny John Jules on the other hand looks exactly the same and got back into the role of the Cat brilliantly, he was the one I was looking forward to seeing back on the screen the most and he didn't fail to please.
All in all this was a nice surprise, I enjoyed seeing them all back together on the screen and I found it very funny. If you loved Red Dwarf and haven't seen it yet, do give it a go I'm sure you will be happy with what they have done.

Lady Vengeance

Hello everyone!

So due to our editing software going tits up we are running late on putting up our first vlog. So I am going to do a review about Lady Vengeance up here :) hope you enjoy.



After thirteen and a half years in prison for kidnapping and murdering a child. The main character Geum-Ja Lee is released and sets out to find the guy that put her in there to seek her revenge.

By the directors of Oldboy, this film is interesting, sinister and in places confusing. You do have to play attention throughout. Which to be honest really doesn't bother me at all but if you are a busy person make sure you do have time to sit down and give it your full attention. It is very artistic in form and if you don't like them kind of films it might not be for you. It is a lot different from Oldboy so don't watch it thinking about comparing it because it would be wrong to try and compare such differently styled films.
      The camera work is lovely, even in places that make you cringe. The writing is brilliant I can't fault it. It is funny and thought provoking. What I will say is in places the action is a bit slow. There are a few places where people just don't seem to do anything and they is no speech for a long time. So you are just sat waiting for something to happen. But when they do start again it is worth the wait. ( Maybe I am just really impatient) But all in all it is well worth a watch at least once. If you love messed up Korean movies.

Quadrophenia

Hello Everyone,

Thought i would have a break from new movies and do a review on a old classic. So here it is......




So for those of you that haven't seen this, it is about Jimmy a Mod in 1965. He hates his life most of all his parents and his Job. Only his 'mod' friends make him feel free and accepted. It is based very loosely on The Who musical also with the same name.
     With good music, lots of scooters and appearances from people such as Sting, Toyah Willcox, Ray Winstone and of course Phil Daniels which most of you will know from Blur's song Parklife where he speaks the verses.
        Lots of things happen and it keeps you involved in the story. Which is always a good thing.
 It is an 18 so do expect violence, drugs, nudity and strong language through out, if you are offended by any of these things it might not be for you but it you do like this sort of stuff then go ahead watch it and enjoy :)

Watch this space i will be back soon.
 

21 jump street

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 :)
