Time for a change.

I've been thinking long and hard. Usually only odd whimsical thoughts come out of such lengthy periods of procastination. As a result of thought and consideration, this will no longer be a blog aimed purely at my opinions and so on an so forth on film and music. I have plenty of other topics I'd like to cover and it would be nice to have a place to do this.
Worry not (I'm sure not many people are worrying at this moment in time if I'm honest) as I will carry on blabbering about films and music. I have no choice. The passion is too strong to hold back! That and the fact I go to the cinema once/watch about 3 films at home on an average week. I also have emerged myself so deep in Spotify that were the music liquid i would drown!

Before I start to trek around in territories new, I will give you a snappy run through of films I have seen at the cinema since my last blog.

The Final Destination (3D) - Poor and VERY predictable. The fact I saw it in 3D was probably a good thing. Had the deaths not seemed like they were happening millimetres from my face, I wouldn't have jumped, recoiled in disgust or stayed awake.

Zombieland - OK, so there was no real point to the story BUT it was funny; Bill Murry made an appearance; the plot line is, at times, one of those that makes you scream "IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THERE'S SOMETHING BAD THERE!'" (inside your head obviously; we don't want you getting thrown out the cinema) but in this case it adds to the humour and I personally found the 32 rules of survival very hand, you know, incase we ever become subject to an influx of zombies. It's going to become a favourite of teenage boys that's or sure. It's got the gore, the humour and the gorgeous Emma Stone as the leading lady.

Saw VI - When I first saw Saw I was so scared I had to turn it off and get my sister to turn all the lights on so I could go to bed. After a while I grew some proverbials and settled down to watch I through to V in the space of a couple of days; I was hooked! So when I heard they doing VI I noted it was a must see. It didn't fail to impress! Blood, guts, gore, shock, terror and life (or not) lessons being taught int he most back handed ways...it needed it, it had it, it worked!

Jennifer's Body - I'm a fan of Megan Fox but not even her looks could save this film. I don't have much mro to say on it. It didn't make me tense but it did introduce me and other to the term 'wettie'...enough said on that. After 'Juno' I expected something different from Diablo Cody. As Fox's character Jennifer says "I am scrumptious!"- Yes you are but this film just isn't!
