Goodnight Sweet Prince...

After reading The Sun today, I think it's safe to say the last of many nails in Gordon Brown's coffin has been hammered in. Whatever glimmer of hope Labour had conjured up in Brighton in the last week has been pretty much vanquished by The Sun's front page this morning. With Mandelson's 'Hitler-like' speech (watch the way he gets more and more animated towards the end of sentences like Hitler used to) and Sarah Brown commenting on Gordon's 'hero-like' persona (the woman HAS to be on medication), Labour seemed to be going in the right direction. However like everything Brown has done for Labour, something 10x worse always follows a bit of good news. In some ways I feel sorry for the guy, but then you realise that it's Gordon Brown and you just have to laugh...

In other, more light-hearted news, an estate agent has been criticized for failing to mention the fact one of their properties has a 'nuclear reactor' on it's doorstep. What sane estate agent would say that? "And instead of a sea-view, you are more likely to gain three arms and turn green thanks to the proximity of a nuclear plant." Honestly... Over and Out xD

The End of Summer Movies

Well it's nearly the end of September and I thought it'd be a good time to reflect on this year's summer blockbusters. I have seen 4 films this summer (I'm a poor unemployed student without an Orange phone :[ ) and I have to say I've been kind of disappointed with the films that have been released. Compared to last year with The Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder, this summer hasn't been THAT great.

I'll admit I enjoyed the mindrape that was Transformers 2. Two and a half hours of switching my brain into 'Michael Bay Mode' (i.e. off) was one of the best moments of cinema this year. It got absolutely annihilated by critics and I can see why. The dialogue was pretty bad, LaBeouf and Fox both seem to have forgotten how to act and some of the robots (namely those two jive-talking muppets) made Jar-Jar Binks look like an intelligent character. BUT, it was so much fun. Who wouldn't want to see machines tear through the Pyramids? Who wouldn't want to see Megan Fox straddling a motorbike? That's what cinema is about my friends. Robots + Explosions + Hot Girls = FUN

I'm going to keep it brief with Final Destination 4. It would appear that Hollywood has run out of ideas on how to kill teenagers. They started well with Scream! in the '80's, and it looks like with this pile of 3-D sh*t that they can no longer come up with inventive ways of killing people. Shame really.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince was errr...terrible. If I wanted to watch angry hormonal teenagers with wands in their hands I'd have watched Skins (yeah I'm not talking about magic wands). It's as though Warner Bros. read the book and went "That's good, but our Harry Potter should be nothing like this". I mean, it's not like the book is any good or anything...

Fortunately, Summer 2009 was saved by Mr. Tarantino and WW2. Inglorious Basterds has to be one of the finest movies I've seen in a while. The dialogue is sharp, Brad Pitt and Christopher Waltz are on epic form, and the tension and suspense built up by QT's script is scintillating stuff. If your a QT fan or a fan of good movies in general, you have to see this film. Over and out xD

Welcome!

Ok so welcome to my blog. Yeah. I never was any good at 'hello'.

Basically on here I'll be rambling about almost anything and I'll try and keep it entertaining (hence the title). Obviously as a journalist-in-training I'll be putting up stuff about current affairs and giving my (hopefully) unique spin on stories. I might also shove a few reviews on here as well. This entire blog is really going to be governed by whether I can be arsed or not. I should hope I'll give it a jolly good go. Over and out xD
