Well its been a long time since I have wrote anything. Been busy the last year or so. My TAFE course is going well, i'm about half way through now so I should be finished soon.
I have gotten into watching movies as a hobby, yes I call it a hobby since its something I like to do and I have managed to watch tons of movies recently. Captain America the Winter Solider, Interview with the Vampire, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Escape from New York, Drive and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo to name a few.
I will be getting a new plan for my phone soon hopefully and maybe also a new phone. As I have had my phone for about 4 years now and the iphone home button is wearing out and getting hard to use but besides that still work fine and I haven't had a plan on my phone in about 2 years.

I need to watch some more movies this year.
Ok I have been a bit slack in writing things to this blog recently and I want to rectify that by watching a ton of movies this year. Especially at the cinemas.
I was going to start with the Oscar nominees first and maybe some non Oscars even though I probably won't have time to see all of them before the Oscars but that's ok.
So a few I want to see.
Les Misérables
Why?
Because its high time I watched a Musical again especially as it has a lot of famous people in it.
Wreck -It Raph (I know this one is not nominated.)
Why?
Because it looks like a fun movie to go and see and besides seeing some famous video game characters on the big screen should be cool.
The Hobbit An Unexpected Journey.
Why?
Because nearly everyone has seen it already including my dad. (Even if its not as good as The Lord of the Rings as everyone says.)
Ion Man 3.
Why?
Because MARVEL and Robert Downy Jr what else?
Speaking of MARVEL
The Wolverine
Why? Well from what I have heard The Wolverine is about Logan going to Japan after the events of The Last Stand. It should be an interesting movie if done right which I hope has been.
Time for a horror film remake
Evil Dead.
Why?
Because the original is a classic or cult classic and I would like to see what they have done with it.
Finally there is
Man of Steel.
Why?
Because I would like to see what they have done with Supes and how he is relevent in this day and age, Or if he just needs to be left behind and let other superhero's enjoy the spot light.
So yea they are just a Few of the films I want to see this year and I plan on seeing all of them. Let's see how I do.

The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
Today I saw the film The Amazing Spider-Man and I have got to say it was excuse the pun Amazing I saw the film with a good friend of mine and we both enjoyed it.
I consider this film to be better then the Sam Rami Spider-Man movies of the early 2000s. Warning Spoilers.
Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy respectfully and they do a fantastic job. I enjoy watching Andrew Garfield more then I did watching Tobey Maguire as spider-man, I feel like the Spider-Man films of the early 2000s were to cheesy then they should have been Spider-Man needs to have a Deadpan Snarker humour that Andrews Spider-Man has which Spider-man has in the comics. Maguire's Spider-Man didn't have that and that's one of the things I enjoyed about this film.
Also Gwen Stacy in this film is SMART something that MJ in the first three movies didn't have, maybe I should explain a bit more in the first three films I felt all that MJ was there for was to get kidnapped and scream which happened in all three movies. While In The Amazing Spider-Man Gwen accurately helped Spider-Man with the cure for Curt Connors, MJ never did that. Also it helps that in real life Andrew and Emma are dating so that helps this film out heaps.
I can't wait for the Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014 I really hope all the actors and actress's come back. I will be collecting this film for my film collection when it comes out on DVD.
bit of trivia for you did you know that the OsCorp building in this film was almost put in the skyline of the Avengers film but they ran out of time? I really hope that Spider-Man appears in the next Avengers film.

Men in Black 3 a 2012 Film review
It was been ten years since MIB2, has the ten year difference affected the feel of the new movie?
short answer yes.
Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back as J and K and this time J is heading back to 1969 to stop an alien from killing and removing K from history so that his race who thrive of destroying planets can destroy earth.
This film has a lot of good jokes in fact every joke in the film works and made me laugh especially the jokes when agent J goes back in time. unlike
As I have been busy with other things my memory of the movie has faded a bit so all I will say is that I enjoyed the film and it's in my own option better then MIB 2.
I have heard that they may make a fourth one as this one was successful. Also Frank the pug who appears in the first two films is not in this one though he is referenced on a billboard and in agent J's apartment.

a proper blog.....wow
Well I haven't written a proper blog in a while and its probably time I did. So anyway, the other day I handed in some TAFE work which is getting marked at the moment so I will most likely get some feedback in the next couple of days. On the weekend I saw Men In Black 3 with a friend of mine I will try and post a review of it once I figure out what to say about it. As I really enjoyed it. Also went to a club for a 22nd first time I have been to a club was interesting but I think I will try and stay away from them from now on as its not really my scene.
I found out its my sisters birthday today.....which I forgot about nice one Oliver. She is now a teenager. So I need to figure out what to get her.
Haven't been to church in a while and must get back to it. TAFE been keeping me busy. hmmm what else is there I need to talk about. Oh also I saw Dark Shadows with Mum and her partner. It wasn't that good I enjoyed MIB3 a lot more. But I have already covered that In my Dark Shadows review. Well I guess that's it I can't think of anything else to talk about now.
Oh last Friday I fell over at work and grazed myself a bit but I'm ok and almost healed. Should be fully healed by the end of the week.

Dark Shadows A movie review (2012)
Hi haven't written anything recently so I thought I would write something about this film, the film known as Dark Shadows based on the Gothic TV series Dark Shadows from 1966-71. I have not seen the TV series so it has nothing to do with this review anyway I'm rambling. Going into the cinema I knew that this film had received both good and bad reviews with the most being bad so I had mixed feelings on it.
I do agree with some of the things the critics have said like that the use of a 1970s setting helps the film and I also agree that considering that Burton seems to give Johnny Depp roles in all his films seems a bit stale now.
A lot of the jokes in the film manly centred around Barnabas (Depp) learning about 70s pop culture, though some of these jokes feel flat since it was basically the same thing over and over again. Barnabas either sets of the pop culture reference by doing something near it for example throwing a construction worker into an electric pole which powers the McDonald's sign etc. The other person that Burton seems to keep giving roles to in his movies his Helena Bonham Carter Burton's wife. Tim we get it you like to put your wife in your movies but it gets dull after awhile when I see Tim Burton movies its like 'ok where is Johnny and/or where's Helena as I guarantee that they will be in the film. The other characters were fun to watch as well Eva Green who I last saw in 2006 in Casino Royal did a good job as Angelique Bouchard the vengeful witch out to give Barnabas a hard time, like turning him into a vampire and all that thus giving Barnabas the taste for blood. Hey what's wrong with that oh right being immortal and killing people. I personalty enjoyed watching both Chloë Grace Moretz and Gulliver McGrath as Carolyn Stoddard and David Collins respectfully.
Oh and Alice Cooper and Christopher Lee make cameos although Lee does not Cameo has himself.
This is just a short review today I give Dark Shadows 3 out of 5 stars not that good but not that bad so around the middle, for me its a film to see for just some senseless fun for an hour and a half and if you saw the original TV series you will probably enjoy it two.
