Guess who's Back.

Well centuries ago - or so it might seem to most - i planed on completing a run on films made by Quentin Tarantino - and i did, but the thing was i just couldn't make my self blog about it because you know me being me and all that...but for some reason or another i have decided to blog it down, and leave a trace of my thoughts to echo through the vastness that is the internet (alternatively : i'm really jobless even thought i have a shizz load of work to complete, but instead of doing that i want to blog so that my words could be archived in one of the many servers Google owns).

Anyway i plan on publishing it soon, but instead for now i would like to run through stuff.

How I Met Your Mother
Granted the title is a bit err i don't know distasteful? the content however is not. Its nothing shy of legendary so to speak. Highly recommended! and its been renewed for two more seasons!

The UK government is a Lib - Con one if u didn't already did not know.

The ICC Cricket World Cup is underway. Follow it!

Oh yea, Harry Potter totally loved it even if it was sub par (par is based on my expectations ;))
On a related note : watch!

On a more personally related note i switched from being an IT student to a Law student, don't ask why.

Well that's all that come to mind. So till later

Cheerio!

Procrastination

Procrastination, I like the word not to sure why though, it's as if in some subliminal way we are one and the same :p. Anyway the reason why the word is here is because I've been procrastinating my Quentin Tarantino movie run, every thing is set (unless u count the lack of lime I have to make juice [I guess it'll be Milo & coffee all the way this time]) but I cant seem to get interested in watching them.

Anyway I did get to watch kick-ass on the big screen, (say what!) it was awesome, totally loved it, right up their with Zombieland. I also watched Iron Man 2 in the same medium, a weak plot was compensated by cool (albeit non existent & unrealistic) technology, a brunette Scarlett Johansson, a transcendentally attractive Gwyneth Paltrow, some cool explosions and a brunette Scarlett Johansson in tight clothes, so it wasn't too bad. Talking about movies I'm looking forward to Salt and Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. I'm also downloading How I Met Your Mother Season 1, hope it's good.


Some Stuff This Week


UK is having elections, and it looks as though they are going to have their first hung Parliament in decades and Greece is is apparently is financial trouble.

Movie Run – Stochastic Run Leg 2

Movies ::


Refreshment ::
Water
Coffee
hand made lime juice
Instant noodles
the odd fruit

Duration ::

one weekend(ish)


Some of my personal views on the movies :

Chocolat
Nice slower paced movie. This movie is one of the movies you have to watch if u think johnny depp can act only in 'jack sparrow' roles (even though I too believe he was born mainly if not only to act as jack sparrow).


State of Play
A decent political thriller, and also well acted.


Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging
It maybe not politically correct for me to be watching this movies so to speak, how ever the movie is good albeit cliché, think mean girls meet wild child.


Public Enemies
Another biopic by Johnny Depp, and as usual he doesn't fail to impress. Good movie but a bit of shaky camera that tends to get in the way. This story is less the bank robberies more the life (not much of that either) of John Dillinger.

Well Since my exams are over (woohoo!!!) I'm planing of having more movie marathons of my own (for my self)...I'm planing on obviously watching more movies in less time (when compared to 6 movies in two weekends)...


Some of my personal views on the movies :


Donnie Brasco

Really good movie (if your in to the organized crime related genre). Awesome performances from two of my favorite actors Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. A must watch.


Planet of the Apes

Nice movie, I have never watched the original franchise so I cant compare it. It's directed by Tim Burton so you should know what to expect. You wouldn't lose anything if you watched it.


in the Loop

Really funny if you appreciate British humor. For fans of British comedy a must watch.


the Boondock Saints I & II

Average movies, nothing impressive in the story line, they decent action movies. If you into action pack movies then deffo worth a look at.


the Men Who Stare at Goats

Not too sure what to make of this movie, average I guess. Read the synopsis if the story interests you check it out, coz there's nothing too bad about the execution of the movie.


Happy Watching!!!

Reawakening



All that is gold does not glitter,
not all those who wander are lost;
the old that is strong does not wither,
deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
a light from the shadows shall spring;
renenwed shall be blade that was broken,
the crownless again shall be king.
~J.R.R. Tolkien~

Harry potter



Well If your a fan of the books you might be disappointed - like me....but this would be so far one of the best Harry Potter movies (and it wasn't that great)...The scene where the weasley house gets attacked, I cant remember anything of the sort happening in the book. But other scenes like the beginning, the Birkendale or so bridge and obviously the cave scene which was sorta the focus of the movie was good. The inferi were not as expected but still good...Another sucky part was the killing of Dumbledore, before Snape kill's him Dumbledore says some thing like "Severus, please" with fear in this voice but in the movie it was said so lazily. And after that the fight between the Order of the Phoenix and some of Harry's friends was totally cut...the death eaters just walked off hogwarts - just like dat... Well if you are a fan of Harry Potter watch it...if your jobless there are better movies to watch...if you hate Harry Potter watch it - you will have more reason to hate it....

Watch the trailer here.

Hats Off to the Legend

Proper eulogies will be written by those who write in places that should be written...

Michael Jackson (born August 29, 1958 - died June 25, 2009 (aged 50)).

Undeniably a legend of our time...awesome musician, influential, trendsetter, controversial and definitely the King of Pop, he truly was...

May He Rest In Peace
