TGI Friday: Nick Cage head on fire…

Well nothing much to report since Mondays late TGIF post because…

…half the time I’ve been sat in a darkened room wearing 3D glasses
& the other 1/2 the time I’ve been sat in a darkened room not wearing 3D glasses…

Chronicle: 3/5 stars, it was OK, a great idea but thought the way they chose to tell the story via the kids video camera all Cloverfield style was fine, but it has been done before, Blair witch is another one, but then they start flicking the footage from his camera to other handheld cameras, to police car/copter footage, to mobile phone footage, to security cameras and ATM machine footage, and at one point I’m sure it all got too confusing and they just ignored the rules for a few seconds during the climatic fight scenes at the end of the film.  so what was the point, forget the over the top clever self filmed style and just film it normally, it doesn’t draw you in any more or make you care for characters any more than you normally would, it just makes to think “why the hell are they doing this we know he is not really filming himself, I’m going to watch this like a hawk and spot any mistakes – directors are idiots arn’t they” and for me that kind of detracted from the film some what hence this little review just turned in to a bit of a rant – oops better make that 2/5 stars.

Now for the 3D; Ghost Rider 2: 3 stars, it was in 3D – can’t really think of anything else to say about it….

…oh yeah Nick Cage is in it too and his head sets on fire… DONE.

YouTube: My next gun – for door breaching and zombie killing – love the sound of this guys voice…

See ya next week.

TGI Friday: Man on a Ledge

Oh dear – forgot to post again on Friday – where is my head at

here is a quick film review to keep you going

What have I been watching:

Cinema: Man on a Ledge, not sure why we chose to watch this over Chronical, this film has enough movie myths to fill two episodes of mythbusters, the twists were very predicable, and they throw in a soppy ending about 2 characters that you dont really care about, although Genesis Rodriguez is pretty hot.

UK TV: Spartacus, is back and just as good as ever, loving the show

TGI Sunday: Snooker shootout, and snow

What happened to the Friday update?  this weekend has just flown, but will try to keep iot short and sweet as I have a load of pictures in a gallery.

Last weekend:

Saturday: Killercache and I drove up to Blackpool for the day to watch the 2nd day of the Snooker shoot out, Live on Sky2 – loads of photos below some from the event and some from the recorded TV show – taken from the paused show using the iphone so sorry about the quality. As we got front row seats we were on camera a lot.

Sunday: went out with Jimbag , Scouser73, Killercache and Callum for a nice circular walk around a golf course, Scouser73 loved the golf ball cache, and I hand fed some geese.

This Weekend: snowed on Saturday so made a snow cat on the garden table, Sunday Scouser73 the 2 nephews and I headed out to a park in Bolton for a couple of caches and picked up a nice/multi puzzle on route, and also petted some friendly donkeys.

 What have I been watching this week:

Right I have got to have a little rant about this but I watched that “The Grey” with Liam Neeson this week and it was all going quite well until they decided not to put a smegging ending on the film, I know they are trying to be “arty” and clever, but its like reading a book to find the last 5 pages have been torn out – 1 out of 5 stars for making me mad.

TGI Friday: another week another caching meeting

On Wednesday night we went to KT8: if you go into the woods night caching event

It meant 5 more smiley faces for the event, 3 night caches and a bonus cache, also got to spot a few new TB’s and chat with a couple of the regulars (Magna defender, gforceuk and rogerw8) as well as a few new faces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
No Cinema trip this week, but did manage to see the film Warrior with Tom Hardy which is about 2 brothers who end up in the final of a UFC style fight out, its worth the watch if you have about 3 and 1/2 hours

Also this week saw the return of Spartacus season 3 – on FX next week in the UK so eagerly awaiting that although Andy Whitfield will be missed

Finally: sometime I feel like doing what this bus driver did… clicky
