Twilight (2008) DVD – Review

Plot : A teenage girl risks everything when she falls in love with a vampire.

Review : So I have reviewed this movie when I saw it in the cinema, I have also reviewed the book…so I will keep this a very short review.

It was really good to watch the movie again, I really enjoyed it granted its better on a big screen but its still a really good film to watch.

The extras are ok, I used to be all for the extras but now I am all about the film. I would have loved to have a long making off, rather than bits and pieces put together but thats just me.

I am really looking forward to seeing how they do New Moon.

Reason For Lack Of Updates

Wow its been a while since I last posted something to my blog, I have not abandoned it just the past few weeks mostly last week.

I have had a few people who subscribe to my blog, contact me and ask if I have abandoned my blog…nope and the reason is below.

Apart from last week I have just been very busy and will get back in to the swing of things very soon, but last week my dad had a heart attack so my head has not been on the pc, tv etc so expect me to start blogging again very soon.

Blog ya soon.

Star Trek (2009) – Review

Plot : A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members.

Review : I am not a big Star Trek fan, but I have watched a few series but not religiously like a lot of BIG Star Trek fans and I have enjoyed them.

I only ever saw a few episodes of the original show when I was younger, and cant really remember too much about it…so I was looking forward to seeing this.

This is such a great reboot, everything has been done very well and I could actually go as far to say its perfect in every way. I didnt think this was a WOW AMAZING film, but I thought it was very good and extremely well done.

The cast was great, they all seemed to get on very well with each other and no clashes. I can see if they do a sequel, and bring back this cast its going to be another great movie.

I dont really want to go in to too much detail, as I dont want to spoil it for anyone who is planning on seeing it.

Overall, very well done, great cast, and just great overall. Am not a big Star Trek fan but this is possibly one I would get on DVD.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) – Review

Plot : Wolverine lives a mutant life, seeks revenge against Victor Creed (who will later become Sabertooth) for the death of his girlfriend, and ultimately ends up going through the mutant Weapon X program.

Review : I enjoyed the previous Xmen movies, granted the third was very silly and over the top..and for me the second one is the best…so I was looking forward to seeing this.

The film starts by telling you his backstory and introduces you to how Wolverine knows Victor, its very nicely done and a good way of getting over the time that they have known each other in a very short space.

Overall the film is good, though they seemed to focus more on special FX and very cool fight scenes rather than creating a very strong plot. For me the plot was very thin, and they focused on all the silly things where if they created a strong plot plus the great fight scenes and special FXs it would have been a solid movie. If your a fan of the series you will probably enjoy this.

Tenk and Two Sugars

So its been a while since I posted any Secondlife, and AICR related blogs.

Coming over the next few months, probably August I will be hosting AICR Radio which will be a radio station meets chat show. This will reach both Secondlife users and real life users, which is great as it will bring in a new audience rather than just keeping to in game users.

This radio/chat show will be hosted in AICR’s new Coffee Shop called Tenk and Two Sugars, that floats on the AICR sim.

I am currently creating it, and so far its about 90% done. I have just to add a few more seats and some nice objects to fill the place a little better.

Will post some more info when its completed

Ghosts Of Girlfriends Pasts (2009) – Review

Plot : A bachelor is haunted by the ghosts of his past girlfriends at his younger brother’s wedding.

Review : Yip its a chick flick but hey, it makes a change from all the action/horror etc I normally watch and sometimes and easy to watch film is what you need.

Firstly this is a spin of part of the Christmas Carol, where he is visited by 3 ghosts who show him how to be a better man….getting that part out the way its a romantic comedy.

The film as a whole is ok, I have seen better romantic comedies..and after the first 30mins you kinda know how this is going to end. It has a few laughs which are very funny, lighthearted and predictable.

Overall its very predictable, with a few good laughs..and the girls featured in it are hot.

Take The Lead (2006) – Review

Plot : The real story of a dance teacher who believed in the talent of a group of problem kids

Review :  I am a big fan of these dance films, I loved “Save The Last Dance” it was a good story, music was good and overall very enjoyable so I thought I would give this a shot.

The film was a little slow to start with, but once it got in to it and you started to take interest in the characters I found myself enjoying it. I like the music and the dances…shame I cant dance as good as that lol.

My favorite scene was the tango scene, this was very well done and looked great.

Overall this was a good light hearted movie, that if your into this style of film then I would recommend and you will really enjoy the soundtrack and jokes.

New Host and New Site

As from today, my website has officially moved from 1and1 to Squarespace. The reason for this is that Squarespace offers me a content manager and its very cool. Dont get me wrong 1and1 have been great, but I wanted a content manager with some cool tools and Squarespace was the answer.

So whats new?

To be honest not really much, the site design is different and the way I have organised my video productions is a lot better…also the theme…apart from that nothing.

My video productions area now has a Journal, I will update this when there is news and goss.

So go take a look and enjoy the new design www.krismunro.co.uk
