Obsession potential!!!!

One of my favourite shows on tv Greys Anatomy, has just got even better. The show never really had 'eye candy' for me although McDreamy & McSteamy were the best looking dudes on there. That was until just recently a new addition was added to the cast. Jesse Williams, who plays Dr Jackson Avery is *coughs* quite handsome......OK HE'S HOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!! Like a lot of people I'm sure, I did a double take, and thought to myself (or probably said out loud!) Who is that!!!?? But besides being good looking he's a good actor too, and the presence of him and the other new additions in the show was quite a breath of fresh air actually. And hopefully he will be around for a while, because it seems like he and Christina could have something brewing between them since their 'kiss'.







He's also in Rihanna's new video!



Y!!

The Obsession Continues!







Y!!

CAN'T WAIT!!

So it looks a little Benjamin Button-ish, but who cares! Of course there are two reasons why I'll watch this movie. 1, because I love my little indie films! 2, because it stars the ridiculously gorgeous Jared Leto who I'd watch in anything..... Heck I would even watch him reading the Yellow Pages!

So....about that Twilight movie you've all been talking about........!


HOOT HOOT, BEEP BEEP!!!!!!

These are the noises of the train/bus/bandwagon or any other vehicle which carries around Twilight fans...Room for one more?! YES, I have jumped on, and succumbed to the increasing peer-pressure (mainly from Zainab and Rachie-Pie) and my own damn curiosity about watching the Twilight film. Now I was too lazy/impatient to read the book. So I skipped straight to the film, and what a film it was. Does this make me a 'Fanpire' now?!?!

Now we're not talking about ground breaking cinema and original, innovative story lines, but who gives a damn? It's a sweet love story with vampires, and no matter how old you are, you can never get tired of a good ol' love story. I even think it is my new 'romantic' film obsession. Now this has only happened twice before. Once with Titanic, and then again with the Notebook. But it is safe to say that this film is more than worthy to take the crown, and I see why it has stolen the hearts of millions around the world!

Now I'll admit that I was being a movie snob for quite a while and didn't think that the movie deserved any attention from me. But a dreary Sunday evening made me think otherwise, and after putting it on hold and watching nearly every possible movie that I have been trying to catch up on, meant that I couldn't put it off any longer.

For approximately 3/4 of the film I wanted to be Bella.....BADLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's that bloomin' Pattinson. With his broody sultry good looks, and just the sheer magnetic energy between the two characters was just too much, I think that the chemistry between the two protagonists is what made that movie what it was. It could have easily have been very saccharine, with annoying teenagers running around the screen, but it wasn't. In fact I would even compare it to the (HOLY!!!!!!)show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in a way that they were able to take a normal surrounding of a high school with young characters, and give it a sense of darkness and maturity that was very alluring(I'm all about mature films!!).

As soon as I finished watching the film, I hit up the web to clue myself up on all my Twilight info, Wikipedia, Youtube the lot! And now I can't wait to watch New Moon, which is coming out very soon. The trailer was literally too much for me! As I was watching it with baited breath I could see that the character played by Taylor Lautner (Wolf boy, and his stupid wig, which he has now got rid of!!!) is going to be a lot more prevalent in this sequel, and by the looks of it he's trying to break up the perfect romance between Bella and Edward! All I'm saying is that 'Jacob' needs to BTFU!!!!!!! and leave these lovebirds to it!

All I have left to say is role on November 20th !!!!!! :O

NEVER AGAIN.....PLEASE!!!

This year I have seen two films that absolutely made me want to rip my eyeballs out half way through them. Now I rarely see crap films, because lets face it, I have AWESOME movie taste and I can spot a flop from a mile off!!! So why did you watch these two horrendous films then, I hear you ask? BECAUSE I HAD TOO!!!!

OK, so I wasn't under duress with a gun to my head, and the lives of my loved ones weren't threatened, but I am a good friend, and on the rare occasion when a mate asks (demands!) to see a particular film, I am more than happy (whilst weary!)to oblige them.

Now the first rubbish one which I saw a few weeks ago was Final Destination 3D. Now there is no point even discussing this because I know that the title and the sequels before it speak for themselves.

But the unspeakable (but type-able!) mess that was the GAMER, with the 300 star Gerard Butler, was definitely on my top 5 WORST MOVIES I HAVE EVER WASTED MY LIFE SEEING LIST! I'm not even going to put up a picture, because that would be a form of promotion that this heap of mess doesn't deserve.

Now I only saw parts of the trailer, and what I did see it seemed to be an action, blow 'em up type of thing, and it had no elements whatsoever of what actually appeared in the film, besides Butler (and his Drew Barrymore-esque slanted mouth!) and some fighting scenes.

Besides Butler, the movie starred Kyra Sedgewick (Kevin Bacon's wifey), Ludacris, Michael C Hall, and whatshisface from White Chicks (urgh!!). Oh and former hottie Milo Ventigmilia, from Heroes, who is soooooooooooo not hot now after that whole, pvc/perv scene.

I don't really know how to describe it beside saying it was a futuristic, cyber-punk, twisted, action yarn, dystopian, S & M , mish-mash, one-scene musical..........of a film

There were a couple of credible actors that I can't believe actually read the script and thought 'mmmh!! this is bound to be a hit'! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!

And to receive the official stamp of my disapproval, I actually have to be knocked out to truly despise a film. Anyone who knows me will tell you that even if I am not enjoying a film I will still get my moneys worth and attempt to stay awake. But for the cinematic ventures that have absolutely no hope of grabbing my interest.....siesta time!!!!

Y!!!!

Just watched

I just watched 3 movies in the last 24hrs (ok so employment sucks, but at least I can catch up on my movie game!), which I enjoyed quite a bit. Three totally different movies but equally enjoyable. The documentary 'Tyson', about the former heavyweight champion of the worlds 'rocky' life. 'Let the Right One In', a Swedish horror/Drama which I specifically remember being really enthusiastic about seeing, but my 'besties' still saw it without me ............................. they must have forgotten (me being the insane movie lover out of the 3 of us?!?!). Then lastly 'The Dark Knight', YES I KNOW I'M LATE!! But I remember being on holiday at the time it was out, and I just never got around to it.



I rarely watch documentary films, the odd one on Channel 4, but seldom on film. Although now to think of it, I have watched nearly all of Michael Moores films, mainly because they are usually highly publicised, and controversial. Anyway I'd been meaning to watch this Tyson flick, because I had seen the trailer and it looked quite interesting, and because I'm a huge fan of the Rocky movies(how is that a reason you ask? boxing of course!!).

So the man has a reputation of being CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! Went to jail for RAPE, BIT a chunk of a fellow boxers EAR, tattooed the side of his FACE, BEAT his ex-wife Robin Givens like she was his sparing partner,and the list goes on.

Anywho the film is really eye-opening, and I came out of it kind of understanding why he is so, for the lack of a better word, crazy! He has had one heck of a life, and anyone coming from where he's from, and done what he's done is bound to end up like something resembling the character of Mike Tyson.




I love the occasional foreign film, and this was no exception, although reading the subtitles is a bother sometimes! (I watched it wishing I knew more in Swedish besides 'Ja' so I didn't have to keep taking my eyes off the screen, and missing little nuances). The film is basically a vampire movie about the relationship between a 12 year-old boy and a '12' year old vampire girl/boy!! Now I say girl/boy because my eyes couldn't help but be geeky, and look the movie up on Wiki (half way through), only to read that the book version elaborates more on the vampire girl/boy being castrated hundreds of years ago!!!! I know!!!! There were a few hints that I probably wouldn't have caught onto about the vamps sex if I didn't read the article. This then made me watch the rest of the film thinking, 'aawww he's gay, and he doesn't know it!', which is quite distracting might I add (I'll have to try and not do that again). Anyway the movie is quite cool, very eerie/creepy at times, but also slow at others, overall it's still a nice watch.





Now this movie had been soooooo hyped that there was a point that I didn't even want to watch it anymore. But once that feeling had ceased, I couldn't wait to see this instalment of the 'new' Batmans. And I had a lot of hope, especially after watching one of Schumacher's terrible versions 'Batman Forever' (which no Batman could be worse than). Now as I started watching it, I realised I could barely remember 'Batman Begins', the one prior to this, although I did recall the villain was the 'Scarecrow' and Katie Holmes was in it, but that was about it. Well in this one, it appears they have changed Katie with Maggie Gyllenhaal, Cillian Murphy (Mr Nice Eyes) has a cameo as the Scarecrow, and the new baddie as we all know is the Joker. Now seeing as I can barely remember the previous one, i'd say that this is definitely the best film in the series so far. And of course Heath Ledger was on point as the Joker, completely unrecognisable. Maggie Gylenhaal was just blaaah, the compulsory damsel in distress. Aaron Eckhart was also great as Harvey Dent/Two Face, and the ending was good because it left a hole to be filled by another movie. Although the film was great, it was quite long, and I did have a moment where I had to go back about 5 minutes because I had dozed off (which also led to my laptop dropping on the floor:O (note to self: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN)!! Oh and I did find Christian Bale ANNOYING!! Why has he got that stupid gravely 'I need to be serious because i'm Batman' voice. What to disguise his identity? Well it's totally distracting, previous Batman's Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney didn't do it so why does he? I think Christian Bale just annoys me now anyway since his diva strop.


Y!!

Don't you hate it when you .....................

........Can't get a song/tune/riff out of your head!!! 'NA NA NA NA HEYYYY GOODBYE'!! Well today's one of those annoying days when everywhere I turn, to every channel I change, the same bloomin' songs are on! Is someone trying to tell me something?!

Now you probably know that they are all bitin' the 60's song 'Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye' by Paul Lenka. Even Bananarama decided to bring the song back around in the 80's . Watch the Lenka vid below, lol @ what they're wearing?!


Now you've probably watched about 20 seconds of that (I watched about 10, just 2 make sure I had the right vid!!!) Watch the little copycats below, and get this annoyingly catchy tune in your head!!







I think the 3 recent revivals of this song is enough for a life time!
