Hostel 2/Die Hard 4.0 and the randomness of Jumana

Wednesday, July 4th, 2007

Yups well after a fairly depressing week leading upto me going away i had one day of niceness went to see Hostel 2 with jumana (which was thoroughly appauling) don’t see that… then on the way out we were invited to the press viewing of Die Hard 4.0 we accepted gracefully and then went for a potter about town (it didn’t start until 7:30 and it was still only 6).

Its nice spending time with new people… even though ive known jumana for ages really lol.
Die hard 4 was surprisingly very good and kind of met up with the previous films, i rather llike all the tongue in cheek humour its kinda a take on the james bond stuff i think really except more american “you just killed a helicopter with a car” “hehe i ran out of bullets” *spits blood*. Lovely stuff.

Im currently packing check back for a final blog before im off.

Brucey says bang bang

Oceans 13 > Shops > Jims

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Went to town today with Colly and Bobby to see oceans 13 rather good actually… so much so we didn’t actually discuss it afterwards, its got a lot of stick in the press (a second sequel when the first was fairly sub-standard would explain this) but i thought it was all there really, you really don’t have to worry about acting when you have that line up, editing, cinematogrophy and the plot was all rather good though… Al Pacino was brilliantly cast aswell.

Yeah afterwards me and Colly needed stuff for holidays i got this bag from o’niels for a tenner (bargain!) and colly got some shorts from primark (lazy bargain).

Yeah then we thought we would harass jim on his day off wooh! Played games stole stuff the usuall. Saw his wee niece Sophia aswell aww bless.

Zodiac with Coaleh

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Went to see Zodiac with mr Coaleh Today yesterday (started the post yesterday). Damn fine film true story based on some mentalist killer, sounds like your regular thriller jazz but actually had enough twists and what not that even through some mad almost 3 hour running time you never felt bored… although it did drag a little bit.

We were gonna go see fatastic four but the bastard odeon put it on fls (free list suspension… we can’t see it for free basicly) and im cheap so im not paying.

We did see fluff in selfridges god this made us giggle something wicked.

flolff

Giggles alround i say.

Oh yeah we got pizza

The Science of Sleep

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Fucking hilarious awsomness… basicly combine Gael Bernal and random film about dreams directed by Michel Gondry and you have the best Romance film ive ever seen… last tango in paris… clearly swept away for this epic.

Yeah went to see it with practicly everyone and then pissed about in tescos lol… they sell octopus.


Also Go buy the new electric soft parade album… its damn fine.

And will someone please make me some toast!

28 Weeks laters yo

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Aye boys and girls went to see a wee film we did…

Yeah me Fran and Kerry went to see 28 weeks later…

Who took the jam out of your doghut?

On the whole… was rather good… id heard some bad things about it, basicly i think people were comparing it to the first one far too much which is a legendary film. Robert Carlyle is fucking ace… ill watch anything with him in (i was about to call him a scouse cunt.. forgot he is actually scottish… he just appears scouse in everything he is in… and does look like a bit of a thieving bastard doesnt he). Some of the other acting was a little substandard but the plot, characters, editing and basic cinematography was all excellent (as is to be expected).

Maybe ive been a little generous… but i did like it.

On other news… get clicking… we’re booking the holiday tomo to LA if i didn’t mention before and i’ll need all the pennies i can get.

Review: Babel

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Yeah anyway so this film….

Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and some other real competent actors in this… all over it was a good film its based like alot of other multi linear storylines 4 different storys that by the end come into one story with there little links becoming apparent.
Don’t want to get into the story, it will spoil the film as its really hard to watch sometimes but definitly worth watching.
Good direction strong cinematography some strange editing and some top quality acting definitly one worth seeing.

(Shitty review i know… but getting into the stroy would well spoil the ambience if went to see it, or is it just because i cba… well i wouldnt be typing this then… am i over complicating things again? *watches ze*)

Casino Royale

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

Ouff went to see casino royale last night with Coal, Jim, Matt, Moss and Cesca =D.

So i thought id post a lil review.

Now as we all know we have a new Bond Daniel Craig seen here persperating looking very muscley and very a-typical of a bond. However the film wasnt very a-typical in its entirety for instance the usuall walk across and shoot intro was changed to some strange use of black and white intro about how he became a double 0 and also there was no Q now whether they had a problem with John Cleese i don’t know but there was definitly something lacking in that department.

In terms of general acting the new bond holds is own probably more as he is/was a succesful actor before he slung on the famous tux starring in such films as La4er Cake and Munich two of my favourite films. But to be honest in terms of watching him in long interuptable scenes all i could think was “When is he gonna tell us more bout this drug deal” (Mainly because his performences in the other films ive seen him in were so strong).

Right i suppose i better mention the action and special effects and stuff as it is a james bond film. Well in terms of special effects i couldnt see any… which is a good thing because there always is special effects and the fact i didnt notice there were any depicts that they were good. In terms of stunts ect. its nice to have have a nice new young bond… don’t get me wrong i loved pierce brosnan but his preformance in the last bond film die another day (action wise) was a little disapointing. So like all in all action was top notch. I’d also like to mention Sebastien Foucan (yeah google him now) if you have seen the film hes the black guy bond is chasing around at the start and he also is the parkour champion or something i just remember him from that jump britain documentery, thought that was nice.

All in all not my favourite bond doesnt really compare to goldeneye however in terms of judging it as a action adventure i would say it was damn fine. Yaps look i wrote a film review… where are we?
