Its been a while!

So... Ive been away from the keyboard for a few months, been meaning to get back on and have a closer look at some films; lets get started.
So while i've been gone we've had some big names on the big screen; including batman spiderman and yes, bond.

Lets start with The dark knight rises; while not being as good as the dark knight it does tick a lot of boxes, and jesus it was a good choice for hathaway... That girl looks good in a skin tight cat suit. hathaway getting us all hot under the collar the collar was just one great choice, we also seen Tom Hardy as bane, well done Nolan another good choice, the bane voice has left us all with a good impression to learn, some of his lines were immense. For me the only thing that let this film down was the middle, it just didn't seem to work, the rest was great though. Id say it was the second best in the trilogy. Dark night coming in with an amazing 10/10; rises with 8.5/10 and begins at 8/10, these could rise with another and more recent watch.

Did i already review spiderman? I cant remember and cant be bothered checking. Spiderman back to basics, they've gone all comic book on this film, some didn't like that, i however think its a good thing. The amazing spiderman was good, a lot better than the spiderman trilogy of last decade, and no Toby you weren't amazing, anything but. Again good choice of cast, emma stone looks amazing throughout the film, one mr sheen popping in to play uncle ben and of course garfield playing spiderman... All good choices, they brought something seriously lacking in the previous spiderman films, i don't know what it is, but i like it. Garfield also looks to be good for the next avengers, i know theres a while but we can only hope he can fit in... Id hate another Hulk like
Switch to happen, when theres so much potential in the current cast.
Spiderman gets my thumbs up, but needs to stand the test if another watch before an actual rating, but be sure that its at least a 7/10

Taken 2 came out recently, i haven't actually had the pleasure of watching it but I've heard good things, they are walking a fine line with this one, it looks to me as of the sequel will be the exact same as the first, with some characters playing different roles, can they make it different enough while making it similar enough to the first, if they've managed this incredible feat it will be an amazing film just like the first, but id does leave me worried that it'll be to similar to the first and wont merit a watch. Heres hoping film fans!
Ill get a watch in asap.

Thats right, its time for bond!
Skyfall looked set to be amazing... And it was; there wasn't a dull moment in the film, and there was definite signs that daniel craig can be a decent classic Bond. The villain was great (nice melty face) Q was great and the background cast done it justice... Oh and welcome back ms. Money penny!
This film was immense, it had everything i wanted, the Db5 was back, they even made a few jokes about the previous gadgets, very good mr. Bond. Oh and the gay joke, it was superb, bond casually flirting with the bad guy as he strokes his legs was hilarious, and even had some idiots sitting behind me asking if bond was gay! Must be new to the game.
Film deserves a solid 9.5/10 only losing out because i wanted more melty face.
And no I'm not saying its the best Bond film ever, but it was brilliant.

Right well thats it for one day, hopefully ill be able to do some proper reviews soon.

24 & touch

We'll start with touch
Kiefer Sutherland's newest show, about an autistic kid who tries to put the world back on track through his dad... An alright storyline that produced a good tv show. It took me a while to get into but did leave me wanting more at the end I the last 5-6 episodes, and it's been left off for a second season
This looks promising, and takes Kiefer to a place away from an angry Jack Bauer running round getting people shot. I'll give it a 7 out of 10 rising to an 8 if the next season is good as well.
Definitely worth a look.

Now 24, I was never keen on this program watching a couple of episodes a few years back that didn't really do it for me; although taking a second look recently has me addicted and I'm currently half way through season 1. This has had my interest for the last few days, and I am thoroughly enjoying it. It may be a bit last decade but who cares about shit like that, it's a great show, a bit crazy but overall a bloody good watch. Cheers Kiefer.

Prometheus the review

The time is 3:30, just home after watching the midnight release of the alien prequel... Or not
This film, while technically being a prequel, does not really explain the reason behind alien but does bring a few more questions.
This however is not a bad thing. Quite far from bad actually. Prometheus does NOT leave off where alien begins, but rather sets the series up for another film.
If now you're reading bad grammar and poor workmanship I apologise but it is half 3 and I am knackered.
Prometheus takes us to new places, in strange but epic ways, Ridley Scott leaves this film in a sort of prequel/stand alone limbo. Yes the film takes place before the setting I alien and does sort of explain the space jockey but does not leave us in the right situation for the start of alien. Fans will have varying opinions on this film, some will say it explains everything when you read between the lines, others will say it doesn't really explain anything... Both are correct, you need to watch the series closely to really understand the explanation; but you can come to this film anew (why would you do this... Get your ass in and watch alien you freaks) or just have watched the alien films once and not really paid attention to the films dialogue, and just enjoyed the alien eating the poor crew... Point is Ridley Scott has made a well rounded film for all the family to enjoy.
I really enjoyed this film and would recommend this to anyone an everyone... Definitely twilight fans as they need to know what good acting/writing/directing is.
9.5/10 brought down by my disappointment in the finale scenes not setting up alien perfectly... But that's just me



Also the new spider man trailer was on; do not watch that trailer if your planning on going to see the movie! Yes the film looks cool, but I pretty much just watched the entire thing in the wrong order... What where they thinking, IDIOTS!!!

Tv

You would have thought that at this point in time the people behind TV shows/adverts would have sorted out the cut off points around the edges of the screen... Always cutting off parts of words
Not really important but you could take this as a television company review; absolutely shite, wouldn't bother if I were you!

Evile

 

Pronounced E-vile!!! \m/
This band is brilliant, considering of course that you like a little bit of thrash metal... Imagine if you took Metallica after their third album, told them not to change and then got dave to come back from megadeth. I know your thinking if only... While that's got your juices going you need to realise that's not what's happened, yes that's the sort of sound Evile have produced over their three albums but with a twist of Brit, which as a proud (not really) Englishman I think makes them sound better!
More to the point they still play the small gigs, and more recently a festival or two, which is even better again... I myself haven't missed an Evile gig at the Manchester academy in four years, the first being four years ago I had to sneak out to get to the gig, great time!
As they've said themselves, but it, download it, go on YouTube, just give em a listen, it's worth it.
I would start off with enter the grave or thrasher from their first album if your new to Evile

Go forth and listen to Evile! Cun7ychops demands it!!
