I don’t know what’s more upseting, seen the Lois character and realising she’s not as smouldering as her on screen cartoon character but seeing them do the voice is just well weird!

This is clearly one of those, too much time on your hand kinda sites. Granted it’s in German or something but its Ronseal! Dude buys the meals and compares the final product to what is actually produced. Some of them just look nasty but would be a 43 year old batchelors wet dream!

Coming soon to a LIDL (brand quality only shitter cheaper) near you!

Le Royal with cheese anyone?

I went to see this movie on it’s preview night last week, fairly sure it was the first night it was opening on and ever expecting it to be fairly packed we decided to book tickets online just to assure that we got a look in. My how wrong we could have been, I’ve been to many of the pre-launch previews and they are always packed but I would easily estimate there were 20 people in the #1 screen in omni. More spreadage space I says as I undid the belt a couple notches and started on nourishing popcorn feast for one!

I had seen the trailers for this film and had seen Will Smith being interviewed on the Johnathon Woss show and it had sealed the deal. I loved the twist they put on the super hero character by making him an alcoholic layabout. It starts with all the same style gags you see in the trailer and Will Smith plays the character brilliantly.

These gag moments won’t make the film on their own, the plot has to take a turn at some stage and when it does it shifts to an unexpected avenue. In my view this is where the film is a let down. It shifts too drastically form a hillarious goof plot to a romantic buzz theme that just doesn’t keep you interested. In my view there was a lot of scope to develop Will Smith’s character a lot more than was done.

In a year where there haven’t been a lot of decent mainstream films out it would be worth a trip to the cinema but don’t expect too much from the second half of the movie.

PS. I Love You

PS i love you 166064b

This weekend saw a bit of a Movie Marathon taking place. Not in the Bridget Jones, lock yourself away from all humanity and drink wine but just at the end of the weekend I just looked back and was like ’shit I’ve watched a lot of shit’. Speaking of shit, one of the bottom barrell one’s i managed to dig out was PS. I Love You. It had been a long time coming having dodged the bullet from Mrs Ben to watch it. Of course she had read the Cecilia Ahern book the film is based on, but alas according to a very annoyed Mrs Ben it doesn’t really follow the book enough and this takes away from the whole vibe, apparantly!

The film is about a young widower (Holly Kennedy played by Hillary Swank) who is trying to come to terms with her husbands (Gerry Kennedy played by Gerard Butler)  passing after suffering a brain tumor. Before passing on he wrote a series of letters that over the course of the year get delivered to Holly. These letters are to help her move on and get over his death.

I’m gonna put it out there and say that this wasn’t a bad film in theory, there are parts that are quite touching BUT what makes it completely and utterly unbelievable/stupid and what took the whole goodness of the film away was the complete paddy whackary going on throughout the 126 minutes (which doesn’t fly by as quick as one would hope!). It reeked of ‘top o the mornin’ to ya’ and wasn’t short of producing the wee leprachaun with hit ‘pot a gold’.

It features a part where Holly travels to Ireland (AAYERLAND) and the only genuinely believable bit is when you meet Gerry’s Parents and they are Irish people, Irish actors and their accents aren’t the dogs dinner.

An enjoyable flick of sorts, too many plot turns and twists and characters who aren’t needed to make this film what it is. Watch it and ask yourself ‘Why is Harry Connick Jnr. in this film AT ALL!?’. A DVD rental at a push becuase your other half wants it, no more, no less. Leave your brain at the door. . .

Awake

Went to see the movie Awake tonight, mostly because nothing looked overly impressive in the cinema and Mrs Ben was on my case about going the flicks, it’s a popcorn thing! I was pleasantly suprised by this movie, not only because i had no idea Jessican Alba was in it but it was quite a good thriller!

The story is about a man who undergoes a heart transplant operation and experiences anesthetic awareness, basically he’s paralysed but can feel and hear everything going on around him. What follows are a few decent storyline twists but a well scripted and put together story.

Anyone who is squeemish or has had any kind of operation and feels weird about anesthetic to maybe avoid this one, but if scenes of open chest operations are your thing, spend the few bucks and see this one!

7.5/10

Russian Real Life Rambo Gunned Down

March 20, 2008

It’s reported that Alexander Bichkov, nicknamed as the ‘Russian Rambo’ has been killed in a shootout with police. Standing at 6 foot 7″ he was a real life warrior who lived in a secluded forest for 20 years (those M3 / Hill of Tara hippies should’ve had this lad on their side!) since the cold war came to an end.
Local police were afraid to set foot in the wooded area he was known to patrol for fear of being captured. He carried with him no less than two shotguns (one would NEVER be enough) and a home-made pistol! HOME MADE PISTOL! If i even tried to make a home made sling shot i would end up maming myself!

Terrified local police refused to go into the woods to hunt him down ever since he captured a local commander while out hunting and held him at gunpoint for hours before freeing him and then disappearing into the trees.

Even after he burned down 30 holiday homes in the area belonging to rich Muscovites, police refused to pursue the man they dubbed “Rambo”, after the popular action-film hero played by Sylvester Stallone, who was skilled in weaponry and survival.

And they say Hollywood movies don’t effect real life, or is this they other way around. Ya know how all those 65 Rocky movies were based on a life of a real boxer but yet Stallone didn’t give him any credit? Could it be that this man was the influence for making the 1,435 Rambo films? Sadly the dog killing / cop killing / child terrorising animal never lived to tell the tale, or at least claim some of the royalties…. in the meantime please be distracted by some mindless Rambo killing…
