My Guilty Pleasure 2.... Bring It On
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKPJPKr5NnQ&feature=related
What a week; war, famine, poverty, me using two words which mean pretty much the same thing to make my opening line seem more dramatic and purposeful, repetition, war, famine, tired jokes. It’s all out there: it’s all terrible.
So I don’t know about you, but I ain’t half in the mood for a self important, hyperbolic ramble about a lot...
My Guilty Pleasure 1.... True Lies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvODrWY3P8g
I thought maybe I would add some diversity to what I’m throwing out here and if you hope that means I’m going to stop being savagely vicious towards films in the form of a violent, hyperbolic and simile heavy rhetoric: you are mistaken. I am quite plainly going to find more things to do that for. Hurray…Be happy you tits. I put off a lot of work...

My issue with the FPS debate isn’t that it’s...
Hello. How are you?
You may be wondering what it is I’m doing, but you see; today my course taught me something. YES, my course which costs me about £10,000 a year in which I do nothing short of pay for the privilege of being a slave in a sweat shop to the big corporate machine that is the university paper managed to teach me something today. Ta-fucking-dah; I hope when I grow up I can have the...

50/50 - Review
When you hear the term ‘cancer film’ you can’t help but fill with trepidation. Your mind shoots to the image of a not-so-heartbreaking romance film where the people are oh so in love that all you do is feel bitter and resentful of their affection as well as wishing their nauseating cliché of a film would stop and you actually end up standing and applauding when one of them dies in a tear heavy...

Gone - Trailer Review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giRMhrOdVzg
Boy this looks official doesn’t it? Poster, trailer. Someone might think I’m being paid to do this for the amount of effort I’m putting in (for all of you who think it’s easy to google a poster and YouTube a trailer…Shush. It takes valuable minutes of my life which could be spent tackling the great problems of the day....

Sunshine - Review
I am fully aware that this film came out nearly 5 years ago, but I did something the rest of the world did as well and chose not to see it; until my girlfriend told me it would be a worthwhile watch and I sat down to finally, full of expectations watch something that looked stupid when it came out; and is stupid now.
Before you assume this is going to be another hyper negative review- this is my...

Immortals - Review
Let’s get it out of the way as soon as possible. Yes: this can be compared to 300, it’s made by the same people, it was advertised as the heir to 300, it has slow motion action, hyped up melodrama and a sex scene so achingly cheesy the only way it could be more so is if Freida Pinto went down on herself with a phallic shaped piece of Gorgonzola.
Unlike 300, Immortals has more of a story which...

The Dark Knight Rises: Filming finished
So; after one hell of a long time of people foaming in the genitals (that’s right, in. Don’t say I don’t know anything about human anatomy) over posters, promos and all the hidden footage that a man could ask for (actually, it’s been a little much. I feel like I could write the film myself after the 8 and half days of ‘EXCLUSIVE! BEHIND THE SCENES! footage which...

Ides of March - Review
Ides of March – Review
There’s a delirious sense of self importance that prevails through American dramas at this time of year. Remember the words ‘Self Importance’, because there are non-truer that can be said about Ides Of March.
It was naive of me to expect more, as with any film out in the October- February segment it has the ‘Oscar contender’ tag sprayed all over it; and boy doesn’t this...

The Bachelor (TV Show) Review
It’s very difficult to formulate a definitive opinion on ‘The Bachelor’, which features Gavin Henson’s quest for love from an array of 20 women selected from, one would imagine, the most desperate of all ‘love wanted, please Love me!’ pages.
Prime examples focus on Carrie, a sweet mannered red head who, after 30 seconds of a conversation with Gavin confesses a deep and passionate love for him, I’m...
Nights Out: (A year old)
Now I can’t be alone in this (I probably am, which will make this whole thing seem a lot more pathetic and paranoid based) however I believe social occasions are more an art in looking good and like you know what the fuck you’re doing to people you dont know rather than actually enjoying yourself. This social obligation defined as ‘going out’ is a proverbial orgy of people pretending to be someone...

Celebrity Magazines
As I stand in the questionably hygienic news agents, clutching my cold bottle of Dr. Pepper, perusing the magazine section for no other reason than to catch a crafty glance at the top shelf material, and hope the stern looking shop owner doesn’t judge me if she notices this perilous game of cat and mouse, my heart sinks. For two reasons: 1. The revelation they have covered the front of the top...
Intro.
I’m a desperately sad human being in constant need of emotional validation. So what better to do than start a blog!
I’m very aware I’m joining a world already vastly populated with ‘misunderstood’ teenagers who wear checked shirts up to the top button, have plug earrings and think that society is wronging them. And thus find the best way to get back at the so called...
