I let the blogging idea fall by the wayside when university work became too hectic.. but I've resurfaced with all essays completed first draft of dissertaion handed in and a week or so of free time to occupy!
I'm going to stick with my habit of recounting interesting things on television and in the cinema at the moment. Obviously one of the best things on television that made a comeback yesterday was Doctor Who. Definitely enjoyed the episode, though keeping track of the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff, in terms of the Doctor & River Song's timelines is getting harder!! Too complicated! Isnt this show supposed to be partially aimed at children?
I am definitely looking forward the the rest of the season, next week in particular which had the awesome Daniel Mays guest starring. Hoping it'll be one of those Doctor Who episodes that actually manages to scare me like The Empty Child or Blink, rather than trying and failing like so many others have done. Here, have a trailer:
If you haven't already seen it Rise of the Planet of the Apes is an amazing film. It made me laugh, cry, hide behind my hands and had me on the edge of my seat for most of the film. Although the trailers are a little misleading in that they all focus on apes running riot in the city, however most of the film is the lead up to this. Which doesn't make it any less brilliant, in fact the build up probably makes those scenes even better.
There's a whole host of familiar faces as well, James Franco, John Lithgow, Tom Felton. And lots of those people you'll recognise their faces and spend ages afterward trying to figure out where you recognise them from. Bonus for Stargate Atlantis fans, David Hewlett playing a complete jerk amazingly well as usual :D
Finally I'm going to admit to going to see the Glee 3D Concert Movie :D I had been going through a little bit of a Glee withdrawal so it definitely helped with that, and it was good to see some of the concert because a cinema ticket is much more in my price range that a concert ticket was. Most of the songs were awesome and the "behind the scenes" stuff was hilarious in some places, with the actors staying in character for most of it. They also had little real life stories of fans which if I'd known that before hand might have put me off, but they were actually really good too. Here is a trailer:
Also, I've just discovered these "on the road videos" which are awesome, I think there's one for each character so check out the youtube channel they're on but Brittany's, Kurt's and Rachel's are particulalry funny. Everything Brittany related was awesome :D
I don't really get why it had to be in 3D, and some of the stuff in the trailers wasn't in the film which was annoying. But other than that it is exactly what you would expect of it and it is weirdly amusing and quirkily entertaining as the show itself.
The best 'fan story' though is of this little boy, and he dances us out of the movie as the credits roll:
Hoping to cinema visit again this week, and have an idea for a video project which I might use to fill my time in between job hunting now I've almost finished uni so I'll be back soon :D
