Its back! Bigger, better and less sporadic!

I've emerged from my hole to start posting once more to my almost non existent audience.

So, enjoy!

The Simpsons Movie Review.

I began watching this film thinking, if this is anything like the newish episodes of The Simpsons it was going to be a disaster. Luckily watching the film wasn't a complete waste of nearly 90 minutes. Most of the jokes had been mercifully saved from the commercails and I found myself laughing out loud a few times. There wasn't anything there i would be quoting in a few months from now, actually come to think about it cant quote anything from the movie now, except from the parts that were relatedly shown in the commercails. Most of jokes or scenarios seemed very familiar to a regular Simpsons viewer. Such as the the part with Bart moving in with the Flanders was regurgitated from the episode where, er, him and Lisa go to live with the Flanders', and the enlightening trip was straight from the brilliant chili episode with Johnny Cash playing the coyote. Also Marge and homer breaking up, hasn't that been done like five times before and much better, either Matt Groening and co. are running out of ideas or they just don't give a shit anymore.

Where the hell the supporting cast in this movie, I cant remember Principle Skinner having a single meaningful line in the whole movie. The worst crime as the supporting cast goes was replacing the great Renier Wolfcastle with Arnold Schwarzenegger as the president. President Wolfcastle, now that would have been funny. The movie was very Ned Flanders heavy, but instead of him been the butt of most jokes he became an too important part of the plot, a waste of great character if you ask me. This whole movie centered far to much around The Simpsons family. I know, I know, its called The Simpsons Movie but from watching tv episodes people have grown to appreciate the supporting cast just as much as the main stars of the show.

All in all, this mvoie does not live up to hype surrounding it, I was throughly disappointed and felt that this movie could have been great, maybe as great as a classic Simpsons episode but instead it is about as good as an o.k-ish new episode, which is to say not that good at all apart from a few good gags here and there.

Harry Potter and Half Hearted Review

I would like to start this review by first explaining to my not existent audience that i have no idea what separates good intelligent literature from entertaining and mindless literature but i shall right review it like i (don't) know what I'm doing regardless.

The book took a good week to read, as it is very long (fucking great opening line) .. Let me try harder; I opened the book on a grim Sunday night, the clouds outside were stirring with the intent to drench pedestrians as they walked through the streets contempt with their mediocre existence, haha. The first to complaint about is the front cover, it looks like some faggot from 'deviant art' has drawn it and unfortunately makes the book the seem juvenile although once I started reading it I realized (Firefox spell checker is wank) that wasn't the case.

Straight away 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' makes sure you recognise this as a tragedy, the death of two prominent characters early on sets the mood for the rest of book. Rowling is appealing to the 'emo' generation with this overall grimness, I'm sure it is something she intended to do. The book is also flooded with morals, they are so in your face that sometimes it really annoyed me. I think Rowling was trying to teach our generation, or a younger one a lesson of compassion and that we should respect others to benefit our selfs. I say fuck off, She did this in a almost patronising way.

Anyways enough with the complaints and on with with the praise. I have to admit i really liked this book despite its downfalls, it kept me gripped through out and left me with an almost satisfying ending. There was even a nice twist in the book that surprisingly made sense.
The ending was intense dispite Harry's battle with Voldemort been a slight anti-climix.

So thats the end of my review.. i know its a bit shit but thats what the blog is all about.

I don't need the girl.

Commando is one bad ass film, I love it.

For a great review look no further.
