as the evil tyrany that is the students loans company, or stdents finance england or whatever decetfull name their using at the moment, is currently controlling my life. not alot has been happening in my world. thats not to say i havnt done my best on a total of £3. i did manage a night out at the cheeky monkey event of the week. and gained myself a free inflatable monkey! this, however was to be the total outgoings on what should have been an otherwise loud week. i mad ehte most of my time catching up on films. i managed to watch adventureland 500 days (of summer) and watched district 9 for the third time. i shall be reviewing these later on.
so seen as though i managed to avoid almost all freshers like the plauge. i somehow managed to catch their deadly desease. ok. so admitably it might not be as deadly as i once made it out to be. but neverless it was still nasty and kept me of work for several days. freshers flu! pshh.
i find it rather annoying that in my last year of uni, i catch freshers flu, an illness i had previosly managed to evade, dispite having spent more time with freshers in the Predeceasing years.
during my time of from alcohol however, i did manage to spend alot of time with a certain friend of mine who is well on her way to having a baby. as such, i encounterd my first baby kick. and i must say it was not to be missed.
as promissed i shall be reviewing some movies.
first of all, advenureland
this has been a long awaited release for me. i am very much a fan of bill hader, who doesnt play a major role in the film but his character stil makes it for me. the film is set in the 80's in a small town in usa. the film takes place over one summer where one fella gets a job at a themepark. and ofcourse, he finds a girl he like. who happens to be having illicit sex with non other than ryan reynolds. as usual all works out in the end which makes for a hapy ending. the film was not as funny as i had expected, but there was some laugh out loud moments. the soundtrack is nothing less than excelent with hits from all over the 80s.
i will give this a 4 tulip rating
second movie is 500 days (of summer)
as the title suggests, this is a romantic comedy. boy meets girl. boy falls in love with girl. girl is smoing hot and doesnt want to commit but will enjoy the time shes having with him but not really let herself be branded as a girlfriend until the end of the film when she gets married to a random blokey. the story doesnt follow the normal chronology in the sense that it jumps from day 2 to day 398 back to day 50 and so on an so on. as a result the film is rather dificult to keep track of. i really ended up sympathising with the main character until the very last scene where abouts he met a girl called autumn, and the day 1 of autumn began. at this point i realsed they guy is a dusch and should not be llet near the females of this world.
non the less it was a good film so recieves a 3 tulip rating.
fighting.
need a really review this film. its about a guy who can fight, and does so at nearly all opertunities. needless to say he gets alot o money in the end. the script is bad, the acting is worse and the fight scenes are nothing short of pathetic.
0.5 tulips for this one. barley scraping through because theres a hot girl in it.
District 9.
now the fact that i have seen this film no less than 3 times, doesnt make my jugment any differnt. this is definatly going to be one of the hot films of the year. starting off with a comical view of aliens living in south africa, you slowley start to realise that this is a pun on apartied and is how people were treated during it. i dont have a bad word to say about this film. the cgi is fantastic, the weapons are amaising the main characther is an absolute hero "wikus van de merwe" im informed that this film is also made on quite a low budget and as such makes the film all the more spectacular. everything in this film works to make it my film of the year so far.
6 tulips goes to this film (out of 5)
films to look out for.
