scott pilgrim vs. the world...

Ok, so just wanted to do a quick little post on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, that I saw last week and really enjoyed. Basically, it's about a bass guitarist who falls for a girl at a party, but then realises, if he wants to have a future with her, he's first going to have to vanquish her seven evil ex boyfriends. And when I say vanquish, I mean vanquish in the full, geeky, gamer sense. He might be a bass guitarist, but Scott Pilgrim fights these guys, (and one girl, lol) in total gamer style. The film is filled with gamer references and the battles make you think you've fallen asleep and woken up in front of your Xbox or PlayStation, lol. But I think this is the charm of the movie. It's quirky, different and I thought a breath of fresh air. I'm not a big gamer in the true sense of the word, but I had no problem understanding any of the references made. It was a great bit of fun and a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Most of the cinema seemed to be enjoying it too and the film has got alot of laughs, generated from Scott's gay roommate, (played by Kieran Culkin) and Knives Chau, Scott's 'ex' girlfriend. Also, the ex's, including Lucas Lee (played by Chris Evans) provide alot of comic relief. I think even if you're not an out and out gamer, you'll enjoy this movie. I'd say give it a go and you might be pleasantly surprised. However, if you are a gamer, be sure not to miss it. It's a must see. Enjoy!! :)

partygirl...the video...

Ok, so McFly, again, lol. However, this time I come bearing the gift of their new video. Is it any good? Hmmm, to be honest, it's been about 2 weeks since I've seen it and I'm still deciding, lol. It's choppy, badly-edited and slightly strange, but somewhere, somehow I still like it. It's not a love affair, but it's ok. I think they've taken the 30 minute film they're done called Nowhere Left To Run (see this blog entry I did a few weeks back) and tried to make it work for the 4 minute video and failed slightly. If I hadn't seen the trailer for Nowhere Left To Run, the plot of the Party Girl video would have made no sense to me. And guys, leave the acting to the actors and concentrate on the singing, lol. Also, defiantly not enough Tom in the video. I'm not really interested in seeing Harry half naked, now Tom, lol... So, here it is and you can make your own minds up. Enjoy!! :)

rex is not your lawyer...

Ok, so we going to get to my love of David Tennant sooner or later, lol. I will probably do a more detailed post about him and Doctor Who, (he was my doctor), but I just wanted to share this clip. After David finished filming Doctor Who, he went to the US and filmed a pilot for a series called Rex Is Not Your Lawyer. David plays a lawyer called Rex Alexander, a top litigator from Chicago, who becomes crippled by panic attacks and can't appear in court, so he coaches his clients to represent themselves. I thought it was quirky, but it didn't get picked up. However, a small clip of it was posted on YouTube a few weeks back and I thought I would share it. David looks amazing, lol, and his accent will either totally irritate you or you'll find it endearing. It seems it's a love/hate thing, lol. So, enjoy :)

tap dogs...

Wow, what a show. Went to see Tap Dogs, with Adam Garcia at the Novello Theatre last night, and I had to blog about it, because it was just awesome. I was abit worried though, when I arrived at my seat, (in the second row!!) and there was a plastic poncho waiting for me. I thought, 'oh no', but I was reassured by an usher that there was water involved in the show, but the most I would get, would be flicked with abit of water. So, the show started and I have to say, it was a blast. The tap dancing was amazing, the set was really well used and very interesting and the 6 guys on stage were totally sexy!!, lol. I thought Adam Garcia was quite cute in 'Coyote Ugly', but he was oozing sexy appeal last night. He got alot of screams and shouts from the audience, so I assume alot of people were there to see him. He also played to this, teasing to take off the vest top he had on a few times, but never actually doing it. As for the water, it was basically the guys tap dancing in a trough of water, which was really fun. I got a few flicks on me, but that's all part of the fun of the show. They also did a routine where they danced, bounced basketballs and did tricks with them all at the same time, which was very impressive. However, one of the guys did loose his basketball at one point and they had to restart the routine, but that happens. Adam Garcia joked that we'd all have to leave at that point, which was cute and got a laugh out of the audience. The show had no interval and was about an hour and a half. I saw the first show of the night, at 6pm and they do another show at 9pm. God knows how they do two shows a night, lol!! The show is on at the Novello until the 5th of September and I would highly recommend it. You can visit http://www.tapdogs.co.uk/ for more information. Here are some photos of the show from the website. Enjoy! :)

random pictures: westlife

Ok, Ok, I know, what, Westlife?? But again, like McFly, you can't deny their pop credentials. I've liked the guys for a while and thought I would go see them live recently, as I really enjoyed their new album, (Where We Are; if you like a good pop song, you'll love it :)) and I was pleasantly surprised. It was an awesome show and the guys sounded great. And I thought I'd post some of my concert photography for you all to see. Enjoy :)

glee!!...

Ok, yes, it's one of the geekiest shows out there, but how can you NOT love??, lol. I have to say, I wasn't convinced to start with and the studio recorded soundtrack being played over the guys singing, really put me off at the beginning, but I broke, lol. The love and warmth just broke through my geeky heart, lol. I'm now a fully converted gleek!! And my favorite character?? It has to be Kurt. Chris Colfer is just totally awesome. Sure, the guy who plays Finn is kinda cute, (do you know he had a bit part in Stargate Atlantis??, lol), but Kurt just makes me smile. And that leads me onto my favorite song of series one: Kurt singing Rose's Turn. It was just a performance full of emotion and it's now also my ring tone, lol. And so you can enjoy it too, I've uploaded it here!!

nowhere left to run...

Ok, so I've talked about Tom Fletcher from McFly, now I bring you something from the whole group. The guys have a new single and album coming out soon, which will be supported by the launch of their brand new fan site called Super City in September. They seem to have gone a whole lot edgier for the new project, with a more electronic, sexy sound, if the new single Party Girl is anything to go by. To add to the new sexy image, they've also created a short film to accompany the release of the new music. The trailer for that short film was released on their official website yesterday and I thought I would post it here for you all to delight in, lol. Sure, it's not the run of the mill thing you'd expect from a pop band, but I think it's pretty kool. Not much Tom in the trailer, (no fair, lol), but if you're a Harry Judd fan you're in for a treat. To quote Tom's twitter: 'I don't care what anyone says...even I'm team Judd after that trailer!'... LOL. Enjoy!!
