Me,My Life & I

Hey all.Well today has got to have been one of my favourite days this year so far.Woke up,freaked out with my friend about the looming history exam - a process that actually calms me down (the freaking out I mean),sunbathed with good music,had a family BBQ and then headed to the beach for a walk with my friends.All in all,a really enjoyable day.I'm gonna pay for my lack of revision come Tuesday,but hey,what's new?Anyway,on to the real topic of this post:the trailer for Johnny Depp's summer film - Public Enemies...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uclFxBFbAQ

Oh.My.God.
Does it not just look fantastic?The above link is the trailer I viewed in the cinema,prior to watching Angels and Demons a week ago,and I've not been able to get it out of my head since.
I should tell you,I am completely and utterly in love with Johnny Depp's acting abilities.Everything he has done,I have loved,without fail.He performs with great passion,is humble and lets face it just oozes sex appeal,even as he gets a bit older.
He's looking a bit older in this trailer,but oh lordy he's still as gorgeous.

But anyway,enough of the drooling.

The trailer is very,very successful in my eyes.It's the combination of slow mo and music that does it.And of course the prospect of a very intense,exciting film.It just looks like a fantastic,intense,exciting story.

Other than the overdramatic kind of tone that the trailer has,I'm not entirely sure what makes it so appealing to me.I love a story of a bad guy I suppose - I'm not sure what that says about me?In everything I watch,the tough,bad boy is always the most appealing to me - Spike in Buffy and Jayne in Firefly being the most obvious examples of this.I like the idea of the public liking this man,finding him to be a people's hero and going against the government who desire to hunt him down.Again,not sure what that says - I'm certainly not in favour of crime,but I do tend to favour the individual against the establishment I suppose.

It just looks great and is now my most anticipated release for the summer.

Your thoughts?

Oh,and does anybody know what rating it's been given for UK release?

Until Next Time

Hey all,here I am with my second review of the night,as promised.This time the film up for discussion is the thriller 'Obsessed'.Enjoy

Right,if you're looking for a deep psychological thriller,this isn't it.Good fun though,it is.
I found Ali Larter's character to be quite laughable,and I'm kind of thinking that was the intention as I don't think this is meant to be particularly scary as such.She was just so deluded,you couldn't take her seriously.She was a bit creepy,especially the thing with the kid,but overall,she was just plain mad,and her mad girl actions made me laugh at times.

Beyonce was pretty good in it,angry woman being her strong point here.I think that her and Larter played well off of each other,and that they were both as good as each other at portraying their respective roles. Had the roles been switched however, I don't think it would have worked at all,so perhaps that says something for the actresses.The guy playing Derek was forgettable in my opinion.

The story is a bit chilling,although nothing particularly original.Definately not something to see with the expectations of deep and psycological.However,if you go in with the right expectations this is an enjoyable film.The climax of it is good to watch,you're really rooting for Beyonce by the end of it all.

Overall,whilst it was nothing special in terms of the thriller genre,I think on its own it is a very enjoyable film and one worth seeing.Very well acted by Ali Larter and Beyonce and with numerous creepy and laugh out loud moments,its worth a watch.

Overall 7/10

Hey all,hope you're all enjoying the sunny sunny weather we've been having (that is if you live here I suppose.) Seen a couple of things this week,the first being Angels and Demons,and then last night, Obsessed.Both were good,the latter more so,and here I offer up my review of Angels and Demons...

Lets start with the obvious question - is it better than The Da Vinci Code?
Personally I think so. Only for one reason though - it seems to be a bit more exiting and a little less difficult to get your head around (I'd already read the books before seeing either, so I had my head around the stories, but I'm assuming that from an outsider kind of perspective a 'we've got to stop the bomb!' type story is easier to take in quickly than a complicated plot about the potential descendents of Christ?) So primarily, I think it is better as a film. I also,coincidently,enjoyed this book better than the book that the first film is based on.

Tom Hanks, still don't really like him as an actor. He's not bad,I just personally don't like his performance much.Ewan McGregor - I've seen him do much better,but he fleshed the whole thing out a bit,much like Ian McKellen does in Da Vinci. Overall though it wasn't horribly acted,it just wasn't great.Although Ayelet Zurer does come up to the admirable standards of Audrey Tautou in The Da Vinci Code.

Now,I had a pounding headache whilst in the cinema watching this - not one caused by the film mind you,but one that the music,lighting and sound effects didn't really help. However,I still did enjoy it.It's not really anything particularly special,but it is interesting.The twist plays very well and McGregor really shone in that respect.

Overall though I think,when it comes down to it,that Dan Brown's book are unfilmable.There is too much information held in them to translate effectively to the screen and create anything other than a medium paced crime-thriller.I think the pacing is something that really pulls this film down,and it's caused by the sheer amount of history and 'facts' that they've tried to cram in.Another thing,why are the Catholic church so angry about it?It perhaps sheds a light on them that makes them look devious and shady,but I would think that there are many more films out there more blasphemous than this one.It talks about the importance of faith to people,how it helps people.I as a Christian take no offence at this film,and I really don't see why the outrage is neccessary.

To conclude,I'd say 6.5/10.

Until Next Time

Hey all.You may or may not know that there's been a lot of buzz on the internet the past couple of days surrounding the issue of a Buffy movie....without Joss Whedon's involvment.Now I'm kind of torn on this issue so I'm just gonna throw my thoughts out there as they come.

Upon first hearing about this my initial reaction,as it was with most Whedon fans,was NO. Whedon created this character,got screwed over in the first film and then brought her back to life and created a successful and very enjoyable television series out of her. The show was fantastic,but ended in a good place I feel as the major metaphors it had going on had run dry,the growing up was over and therefore the show needed to come to a close.Angel on the other hand,could've gone on longer,and don't get me started on Firefly,but hey,that's two seperate stories.So yeah,we left Buffy in a good place.The thought that anyone,even Joss,could try and pick up this franchise in the medium of film again seems stupid to me a mere money making scheme that,whilst perhaps some of the avid fans on the side of MORE MORE MORE BUFFY would see,the general public would probably just discard as being as much a waste of time as the original movie is.

Then,as this stupid suggestion sunk in I came to understand that Fran Rubel Kuzui and husband Kaz Kuzui (the guy that directed the original film) were involved. This basically sealed the deal on my not wanting it to happen. If it was Tim Minear or Drew Goddard taking the character in a new direction,with the approval of Joss,perhaps I'd be more open,but these two?Its basically condemning it to fail before it's even began.Just a truly horrific decision.If it really is to happen and there is to be anyone from the previous Buffy staff involved that is NOT Joss Whedon,then it should obviously be Minear or Goddard and not the guy who caused the orginal to be such a disaster.

Thirdly,why does this iconic character even need to be rebooted?Surely the kids/teens of today (yes I know I am one,but I was a first generation buffy fan,if that makes sense) can relate to it? I mean the whole idea of the show was that the metaphors in it were utterly relatable to ANY teen.There was a character in it that everyone could identify with and the stories are,in my eyes,as relevent to anyone growing up now as they were to me.My suspiscion is that the younger people today are so used to everything being a 'new and improved remake' that they expect that's the way things ought to be,that the new versions are always better than the original.Really,we're an A.D.D society if people can't relate to something that ended only six years ago.Human nature is human nature after all,nothing really changes,so why does a show that explores human nature require a make over in the form of this stupidly proposed film?

Basically this film without the involvment of Joss Whedon would be,in my fangirl eyes,blasphemous.Buffy is his creation,if he doesn't want to return to it why should he?He's working on other just as exciting things,there's no reason why he should still be living with characters he brought to closure six years ago.The involvement of the Kuzui's is ridiculous.If people can't relate to this show as it currently is,they wouldn't be able to relate to a true reincarnation of the character.

My verdict:doomed to be a train wreck if it ever goes ahead.

Hey all.Well last week I went to see Gregory Burke's,the playwright responsible for the fantastic Black Watch,latest play.Titled 'Hoors',it takes place over the course of one evening.A woman's fiance has died,on his stag weekend,and her,her sister and two of the deceased friends gather the night before the funeral,originally intended to be the wedding day,to prepare themselves for the next day.So here's my thoughts on it...

Pretty bad.

Black Watch was fantastic,the characters were great,the dialogue witty and emotional.The whole thing was just fantastic.This couldn't be more different.

Firstly,you feel absoloutely no sympathy for any of the characters whatsoever.The woman who's fiance has died,it turns out is in love with one of the friends who turns up,and is relieved about her fiance's death because she didn't want to marry him.The aforementioned friend is alright until he decides to let the main woman's sister "suck his cock,right now",proving that he isn't actually all that decent.He's weak aswell,doesn't stand up for himself and doesn't chase what he wants,something that I find annoying.The other friend is an utter sleaze.He was a good actor though,the sexual chemistry between him and the female actresses was great,he just kind of oozed it in his sleazy character.Not an attractive man,but he did provide good onstage chemistry.The final character of the sister was just plain irritating.Materialistic and arrogant,also a bit of a slut,I found her to be highly annoying.So all in all,as you could sympathise with none of these characters,I found the play to become completely irrelevent to me as I didn't honestly care what happened to any of them.

Secondly,whilst there were flashes of the witty dialogue that you can see if you look at Black Watch,overall the conversation felt very bland.The action didn't make up for it and the fact that the actors continously masked each other on the stage,blocking half of the audience's sight lines at a time,didn't help.

Thirdly,and this may not be the fault of Burke as I don't know to what extent he was involved in the putting together of the actual production,the staging was horrendous.The set rotated,which could have been a symbolic and useful tool.Instead,it just occurred at random points in the story,no relevance what so ever. I really felt it just slowed the pace of the already slow action down even more. The set was almost always on diagonals,which contributed to the problem of masking mentioned above.

Basically I just found this a big let down after Black Watch.[erhaps that's just because of my own high expectations,and if I go back and read it with those expectations set aside perhaps I will enjoy it more.Sadly, I somehow doubt it.

Until Next Time

Hey all.Well this has been a bit of a stressful week,so to escape to the cinema tonight was a much welcomed time to relax on my part.The film of choice was 'Tormented.Here's how it went...

Well it's a little bit different,and then all cliched at the same time.Different in terms of British horror I suppose.It's got a little more wit to it,being very darkly humourous all the way throuh.The deaths are also,if this can come across as a sane comment,quite creative.No limits,they're pretty gross,but far fetched so not particularly scary.However,there are the typical horror cliches scattered throughout - locker room/shower scene all alone,followed by somone mucking around with your belongings,followed by death.sex in car,followed by death.nasty son-of-a-bitch bullys,met with death.So yeah,you might say it's stereotypical in some respects.But,I did like it.

I can't work out if it is mocking the typical horror film,by being ridiculously far fetched and gross and playing the stereotypes to the max - you've got every single typical horror film character and situation - or if it's trying to be genuine and funny at the same time.The thing that throws me off is the whole set up with the girl being carted off at the start/end.Why does the camera stay with her in the car at the end and watch her in her emotional state?If it's just trying to be mindless and humorous horror,there's no need for this.If it's trying to communicate some story [other than the shove it right in your face all the way through obvious statement about don't bully,it's bad] then it fails I'd say.You can't really take it seriously,due to the dislike you hold for pretty much all of the characters.Sure a couple of them are funny,but when it comes down to it,every single one of them is a brat,so you don't feel too badly when they get taken down a few by the killer.

Anyway,it's enjoyable.If you like things in the line of Shaun of the Dead,you'll find it amusing.If you're a hardcore horror fan looking to be scared,then this isn't going to do the trick.I'd say go see it though,it is honestly good fun.

This review was awful.I apologise,there's just not really THAT much to say about it.

Hey all,I was just wondering what you all thought on this issue:

What Are Tattoos Seen As On Women?

I'm not talking about your typical tramp stamps here,I mean actual pieces of art.When you look at them are they taken seriously,or just seen as some stupid girly accessory.I ask because I was talking to my dad about how I wanted one and we were chatting about if I was to get one, what I might get and where I might get it.Then it occurred to me,tattoos on men are often seen as expressions of their inner feelings that they find hard to verbalise,or as symbols of their manliness.On a woman,what is a tattoo seen as? We're pretty good at expressing ourselves in comparison to men [sorry for the generalisation,but in large part it is true] and we certainly don't often desire to come across as macho. So what are they seen as on women?

I'm not talking about the reasons behind people getting them,I mean what do you see when you see a tattoo on a woman,compared to when you see one on a man.Please note,I do realise it is a perfectly common thing for women to have them.I'm just wondering how they are seen.

Your Thoughts?

Ok so I just watched this film for the first time and I'm currently wondering why it's taken me so long to do so.Here's my thoughts on this fantastic film.

First off lets talk Hopkins.What a performance.Utterly mind blowing,he terrified me,made me sympathetic and made me laugh in equal part,often all at once.His eyes said it all for me,and its impressive when that can be the case.Just truly great.

Now then,Jodie Foster.I am not a fan of hers,but she did do well here.Whilst I can picture other actresses pulling off the role,she certainly delivered the complicated character with depth and pulled off good emotion.Overall,I probably wouldn't have said it was award-worthy,but certainly very good.

Anthony Hopkins' performance aside,the thing I loved best about this was the work of director,Jonathan Demme.I noticed that a high amount of this film,aside from of course what is neccessary in establishing location etc,was shot in close up.This led to extreme tension,and all of my attention being focussed on the screen due to the claustrophobia it created.Truly great stuff and I think of all the Oscars it won,this was perhaps the most deserving (or at least tied with Best Actor).The use of camera can be seen as very symbolic,but I won't go into all that on this post,I'll save it for the guys who'll argue it with me on IMDB Really,really good.

Story was perfect - keeping you hooked from beginning to end.The twists were well devised,not at all hinted at and made me laugh at points.

Finally,the ending just summed this up entirely for me.A manic and humerous movie,at times in almost equal parts,and one which I no doubt will be adding to my collection in the near,near future.

Good luck everyone

Until Next Time

No,no,no,no,no!Just no!
I loved this film as a kid,and the much advanced special effects of today would spoil a remake.
The original is magical and holds great memories,don't remake it just to market it to todays little ones,just let them witness the wonder of the original series.

Anyone else love this film as a child?

TWITTER!
It's too addictive. I love it because of it's simplicity and the way it lets you keep up easily with what everyone's up to.
And it's really easily accessible.
Still can't get the picture thing to work properly though :S.

AND ON THE ANOTHER HAPPY NOTE;
I FINALLY FINISHED FIFTH YEAR TODAY!
It has to be said that this year was the most stressful of my life to date,for various reasons.And I can't even describe the high I got walking out of maths today knowing I never,ever have to return there again.
Now it's just exams and onto my last year of school
Which I'm really looking forward to - advanced higher media,advanced higher drama,higher french and int 2 spanish.WHAT A TIMETABLE

So yeah,I'm on a biiiiiig happy today,as you can probably tell.
Ooh and also,today brought up nostalgic memories of childhood as the sixth years at my school were all painted as smurfs for their last day awesome.i don't see me working that look this time next year though.

Ahhh the fun.I love my life right now.

Until Next Time

Hey all.After seeing Hannah Montana,much to my distain,I happily managed to go see Coraline last night.And in 3D aswell.Great,and here's why...

The 3D works fantastically.As with 'Nightmare Before Christmas' Henry Selick is all about the visuals,and the use of 3D makes this a truly magical watch.It's so interesting visually that I forgot completely about my fear of 3D (any of you who experienced Animal Kingdom's 'A Bugs Life' at a young age will understand my pain). It just really makes you feeel as though you're in the action,and that it's happening right amid the audience.It makes it look more like puppets performing on a stage rather than action happening on a screen.Really honestly fantastic.And I've no concern for this transferring badly to dvd which will undoubtedly come with those annoying blue and red glasses that are extremely inneffective,because to watch this in 2D would be just as magical.Selick has done a fantastic job on this part.

The music,if you've read Coraline,sounds exactly how you'd imagine it should.There score gives a greater feel of magic to the visuals,working perfectly with them.It's a great listen and extremely interesting and unique.

My main criticism is that there doesn't seem to be that much emotion,other than when Coraline crys for her parents when they're trapped.Aside from that,it doesn't explore the anger that Coraline has in the book over her parents not paying any attention to her,and this is important as it is the main reason she loves the other mother so much.In the film it is made to look as though she loves the other mother merely because she showers her with nice food and surprises.

A fantastic film overall though.Very,very interesting to watch and listen to.It really can be enjoyed by adults and children alike,although I'd say that very young children might find some parts a little frightening.Truly a magical film.

I'd say 9/10.

Until Next Time

I know,I know.But anyway.
Better than expected but still,Hannah Montana is not my kind of thing.The cowboy's hot and I liked the Granny.
Disney could've had a good story about self sacrifice and being yourself on their hands,if she'd not put the wig back on.
Basically as you expect it to be - shamelessly made for its pretty specific target audience.
Ah well,at least I gave it a chance.

Until Next Time

Hey all.Well April's over,I can't believe that in just two months time we'll be half way through 2009 already.I know I say it every month but it's honestly really shocking me how quickly this year's going.Anyway,Aprul.Good enough month.Nothing overly eventful happened to me really.I worked a lot in the Easter holidays so that's paid off.I LOVE PAY DAY not because I love money,but because it makes me feel good about the work I've done because I can see the results.Primark trip on Monday Anyway.April.Here We Go...

Paris Flights

Finally,after having our apartment booked for nearly four months,my friends and I have finally got our flights out to Paris in October sorted.We're flying out from Glasgow to Charles De Gaulles on Friday 16th October at 8.30am and flying home to Edinburgh on Saturday 24th October at abour 2pm. I know that we've known for quite some time now that we're going for sure,but now that the flights are booked it just seems so final.It's cool because so many other groups of friends have been saying for ages that they're gonna go this place,or that place or whereever,but come October we can be boasting about how we're actually doing it.I just think it's so good because we're still at school and nobody else is doing it.That probably makes me sound really immature,but its true So yeah,I cannot wait.Any reccomendations for things to see,places to eat etc. let me know in the comments.

Revision

Now I've prayed for motivation to revise before,and I have to admit,I don't know if it's because I've not been open to it or whatever,but I've never felt it.However,after praying hard about it this year because this is,afterall,probably the most vital one for me, [until third/fourth year uni anyway] I genuinely do feel it. I really do want to do as well as I possibly can in my exams so part of this is down to my self and me pushing myself.But it seems that actually getting myself to sit down and do it is so much easier this time round.Nice.Pray for me guys,the list of exams I've got will be going up next-so I can strike them off as we go and make my predictions.

Black Watch

I have fallen in love with this play.It all started with Easter Study school.I'd not properly read the text,not that I found it a chore to read or anything - I've always loved drama and as such,reading plays never really comes that hard to me - no,I just hadn't properly got around to it.But during the easter study school for higher drama at my school over the easter break,we watched the play all the way through whilst reading along and taking notes,and I soon came to realise just why this play has had the amount of recognition it has.It's truly great in so many ways.It deals with a lot of issues,of course the most obvious of which being the Iraq war (note here;welcome home troops :]) but also when looked at more closely deals with issues of masculinity which I find to be very interesting.I find the portrayal of men realistic and,although this may offend some of you guys out there who've read the play,typical.The character's aren't unintelligent - they speak with such vulgar language that it might fool you into thinking so,but they're not.Something that made me really emotional when reading this play is how it made me realise that a lot of men really do view it as a weakness to show emotion and let their true feelings out.This is shown at many times during the play,but most noticeably when the character of Stewarty has a breakdown in the stage directions and then immediately gets very defensive,snatching his letter from home.This made it obvious to me that [as the play was based on real interviews with real soldiers about their experiences] men do see displaying emotion as something that will make them vulnerable.I don't know why it made me so sad.I suppose it's because I'm quite a readily emotional person - I get angry easily,I get emotional at the drop of a hat and I can become overly joyous for almost no apparent reason to those around me - but also because I find sharing emotion to be one of the distinguising features of us as humans.And I find it sad that a,and I don't want to sound rude or ignorant here,high percentage of men can't experience that in the same was as women seem to be able to.I admit there are of course numerous exceptions to this,and maybe I'm just being pessimistic.But it did make me think.As you can see from the rather long section I've just written.Moving on.

Easter

I missed church on Good Friday.Got the time of the service wrong but anyway,I contemplated Jesus death and it truly hit me,as it does at this time every year,what that means for me as a person and as a Christian.So Easter weekend was really enjoyable for me.I felt really great all weekend because I seemed to have constantly on my mind the greatness of what God's done for me in Jesus.Just good times

Film & Tv

The Haunting In Connecticut - Worth a watch if you like haunted housey type stuff,but nothing particularly fantastic.The story was kind of moving though I suppose.

The Uninvited - Has anybody seen the original Korean film that this is based on,because I'd really like to hear about it.I want to watch it,I'll maybe try and find it somewhere.The Uninvited exceeded my expectations in some ways,but in others - such as the ghosty bits and frights - really let me down.I don't particularly like a lot of frights,so I suppose that's good,but it was just made out to be a lot scarier than it was.I found myself thinking it would've worked better as maybe just a murder-mystery-thriller type thing?Not sure.But a rather enjoyable film on my part.I'd definately watch it again.

The Big Bang Theory:Season Two - It's so funny.I luuuurv it.Great,great stuff.

Lost - Just keeps getting better!I love it,love it,love it!My only problem is,the finale is the night before my drama exam.And I'm working all weekend that weekend.Uh oh.But I will of course be watching it regardless.My revision should be done by that point anyway,if all goes to plan.Not that I have an actual plan - I tend to rip them up in anger after a few days of failing to stick to the targets I've set myself - no just the general ideal that I'll somehow fit in everything I need to before the exam.Back to Lost.SOO yeah.Hurley - rewriting the empire strikes back.Classic!I love all his movie references this year - Back to the Future stuff was amazing He is too cool.Hurley and Miles are slowly becoming one of my favourite onscreen pairings - they just are so funny together,much like Sawyer and Hurley.Great stuff.Oh and a last thing - Miles watching his dad read baby him a story,did that not just tug at your heart strings?

Note Did anyone watch that Louis Theroux thing about paedophiles? I was gonna but then didn't. Worth catching up or?

Radio Show

My friend Ashton and I have decided to try and make a kind of online radio/podcasty show.Just about varying issues,we've not decided on the format or what it'll entail fully or anything yet.But I'm really excited about this.I love media,and radio is of course an area of the media that is very widely accessible.I've never pictured myself working in radio,but any experience of media related stuff can't be bad.So yeah,good news on that front.

Swine Flu

Here we go with another Great British overreaction.I know it's a different situation to where we were with bird flu because humans are actually infected this time so there's a higher risk factor.But when you start seeing headlines like 'Swine Flu Threatens Cup Final'....It's just annoying me,all the fear mongerng.It's at times like these I hate the media for taking a representation of something and exploiting it to the max.Grr.Get over it.Sure it's dangerous to a certain extent,but we need to take it as it comes,not overreact immediately.We don't even know that much about it yet.Enough of this.

Quotability

Dean[Supernatural]: And your appetite's reaching the hungry hippo stage.

Leonard[The Big Bang Theory]: What are you looking at?You've never seen a hypocrite before?

Bree[Desperate Housewives]: Maybe we should slice the tart in here,I don't want to bring a large knife into this.

Dean[Supernatural]: Are you saying I'm a dick?
Sam: No...it's not just that.

Dean[Supernatural]: I don't wanna be a clue

Leonard[The Big Bang Theory]: Why learn how to swim?
Sheldon: The ice caps are melting Leonard,in the future swimming isn't going to be optional.

Borat[Borat]: What type of dog is this?
Animal Dealer: This is a tortoise
Borat: Is this a cat in a hat?

Lord Elgin[Black Watch]: It takes 300 years to build an army that's respected and feared across the world,but just 2 years pissing about in the desert in the biggest western foreign policy disaster ever to fuck it all up.

Llama's With Hats: Caaaaarrrrlll

Overall

Good month my round up for May might be a bit late because I've got exams until the 3rd and won't really have time to post before then.Hope you all have a great month.

Until Next Time
