Not-So-Despicable Me 2

I hate the phrase “family film”. Whenever a film is described as a “family film”, it means that the film is SUITABLE for the whole family, i.e, the kids. Very rarely does a family film actually ENTERTAIN the whole family. Despicable Me 2 is one of these rarities.

Superman Returns with a vengeance!

After Earth. World War Z. Fast and Furious 6. I’ve been somewhat disappointed by films lately. I’ve either been warded off by bad trailers, or enticed by a good trailer, and left the cinema massively underwhelmed. Enter Man of Steel. Intense music. A power team combining Zack Snyder’s style, Christopher Nolan’s direction and Hans Zimmer’s music promised something big, but I was worried that I would once again be disappointed by what I saw.

I had absolutely nothing to worry about whatsoever.

After Earth or After Thought?

Hey, remember that one great film that M. Night Shyamalan made? Nope, me neither. However, when I saw the trailer for After Earth, I thought that maybe this sci-fi action thriller may finally put a good film to his name.

Unfortunately, I was wrong.

DEATHLY Hallows...it's a pun, see?

So I’m finally nearing the end of the line. With only two more Potter games left, the finish is in sight.  I just wish that they could be two good ones. Unfortunately, wishes don’t come true, and it would seem that the developers saved the worst for last.

Doctor...who?

Anyone else wondering just what the f&$k is going on? Me and my friend Adam just watched the series finale, and our heads are still spinning a little. Well, more me than Adam, because he took a peek online and now knows what will happen in the 50th. Being a lovely guy though, he's not gonna spoil anything for me. So here's what's gonna happen: me and Adam are gonna review the episode, and maybe suggest a few theories on what's coming...although that bit will mainly be me. We'll try to keep it spoiler free, but read at your own peril, 'cos a lot happened tonight folks!

Okay, so I’m gonna diverge from the norm a little here, and rather than review something, I’m gonna make a statement on something I feel particularly strongly about – commercialization. People who become famous via the internet are usually the more talented people in the world, as they have been signed down to pure talent, rather than high up connections. I will hold up my hands and say that even Justin Bieber had some credibility behind him when he first got started, but in my opinion, signing a record contract has been the downfall of him, and many others.I mean, seriously...just look at Nicki Minaj before and after she got signed!

The Cybermen get an upgrade!

I nearly cried last week at the end of Doctor Who, when I saw that they were doing another Cyberman episode. Sure it’s been a while, and some of their fans might welcome their return, but I was hoping that this newfound originality of the last few weeks might hold. I went into this episode expecting to see more of the same, but I was actually pleasantly surprised!
