Transformers

I went to see Transformers the other day, reluctantly I might add.

I walked into the cinema with apprehension, thinking that it really wouldn't be my thing.

Was I wrong? sadly not.

Although the film had a decent plot and some excellent special effects, I just couldn't get away from the fact that I really wasn't the intended demographic.

It seems to be Hollywood grasping at comic book straws once again, which for comic fans and for fans of the original toys, it's great but, for the rest of us...well we don't really get it.

I did enjoy how the 'good' transformers interacted with the main character and with each other and how they were machines with a lot of personality, this did create some humour now and again. I did find the transformations impressive but, overall it's not a film I would rush to buy on DVD.

I felt that it was too long for a Hollywood blockbuster and was majorly aimed at a blokey audience. So blokes, by all means go and enjoy it...but leave the ladies at home...or better still let them go to see Hairspray!

Spider Pig

Spider Pig...uh I mean...The Simpsons Movie is the newest adventure for the worlds most beloved family.

After receiving constant publicity and advertising, The Simpsons Movie was finally released in cinemas all over the UK last week. It was much anticipated by fans after following the series for 18 years.

The general idea of the movie is that Homer messes up once again (with fatal consequences) and has to rectify the situation, save Springfield and repair his relationship with his family.

The film is packed with hilarious moments and satire. Spider Pig will undoubtedly be a hit with audience members of all ages.

Grampa's church prediction is hilarious and Homer's piece to camera at the beginning of the film is really clever and witty.

The movie also shows a sensitive side to Bart that we don't usually see in the series as he forms a bond with none other than Flanders.

I would recommend The Simpsons Movie to everyone, definitely one of this summers 'must-See's'

As a final note: 'Spider Pig, Spider Pig, Does whatever a Spider Pig does...' sorry...couldn't resist...

Disney worker

An electrical maintenance worker for Disney world Florida has been arrested on charges that he had been molesting a young girl for several years.

A spokesperson for Walt Disney said that the man has been given unpaid leave until the outcome of the charges are revealed. It has been confirmed that the alleged mollesting did not occur on Disney property with children staying at the resort.

I found this story on my google reader and thought it was interesting (for lack of a better word). It's a shame to see what our world is coming to where even a worker for a family orientated company like Disney has an alleged mollesting history.

Welcome

Well hello there.

I didn't want to narrow this down too much to one category despite how tempting that might be (*cough* movies *cough*) so instead I'm gonna leave this pretty open so it can appeal to more people.
Hope you like.
Any suggestions welcome.
