Not alot of people in the UK know who Blake Mcgrath is but hes a talented singer from the US, Hes just just coming out of the wood works with his latest single "The Night" What do you think? is he going to be a mjor hit or flop?
Alot of foreign people i have spoken to say i hear british people drink alot or something along the lines of that i personally think we all like to have a good time, enjoy a good weekend of letting lose after a hard week of work or just baisicly getting out with friends.. What do you guys think?
Katie's back on our screens with the ITV 2 show What Katie Did Next, To me it all feels abit to revolved around Peter still theres way to many scene talking about him and sometimes its not all Katie's fault we still have those obsessive fans trying to make Kate feel better or rub it in that they actually like Peter better then Kate but who cares honestly?!
The show should be about Kate and what she did do next not what Kate thinks about Peter on a day to day basis... Yes i still like Kate and i don't mind Pete I'm not saying don't mind because of all the things that have happened recently its because i have always not minded Pete i have never been a major fan of his work, Hes good at what he does but its just not for me, And i like Kate because she has that real work from nothing and make your self into something factor about her shes a real business woman even though the press say shes a self acalmed business woman.
I hope the shows not all about how Kate's dealing with the break up and gets fun like it used to be when her and Pete were together like holidays and activities shes got Alex Reed to do all this stuff with so come on Kate show us your fun side again
So im abit slow to have even wrote about this movie but i seen it lastnight and my first impressions were pretty good the movie has a cartoonish feel to it even though theres no animated scenes in it what so ever i think its just the way they shot the movie and how they jumped from scene to seen it all seemed abit different. There were also time i thought i had already seen some scenes so that made me confused but in the movie there are some repeative scenes of which are purpiously done to like a scene in a boxing ring when he totally kickes his oponionts ass, First it goes into super slow motion with a voice over telling us how he going to kick the oponionts ass and also shows once its in normal motion its then shows u in a fast motion and god that was a good scene. My thoughts on the movie are its confuseing but worth watching i give it a 7/10
Yes thats right the singles out now on itunes for a cheap 79p get your copy here, This is the third single to be released with the new sugababe Jade in the group so i think we have all warmed to her and realised that the band needed a shake up, I have just downloaded my copy of the single so get yours now!!! :)
Vampires seem to be going through a bit of a resurgence at the moment, don't they? In the past couple of years alone, we've had hit US TV series True Blood, cult Swedish film Let The Right One In, the lamentable Lesbian Vampire Killers, and that thing with the sparkly bloodsuckers who stalk teenage girls. Daybreakers gets the new decade off to a flying start in the vamp stakes (see what I did there?), presenting a unique and exciting take on the vampire mythos.
What's so different, I hear you ask? The most significant change from 'the norm' is that the undead of Daybreakers are no longer an ethnic minority; thanks to a plague-like outbreak in 2009 (regrettably already dating the film), vampires now make up 95% of the Earth's population, with the few remaining humans being hunted down and farmed for blood.
Ten years have passed since the outbreak when the movie begins, and blood supplies are running low. Vampire haematologist Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) is frantically working to produce a blood substitute, but the blood shortage is already taking its toll on the population, and the situation seems hopeless. But when Dalton meets a human survivor (Claudia Karvan) who holds the key to a medical breakthrough, he is pitted against his own kind in a struggle which will decide the future of humanity...
Despite the omnipresence of vampires in this movie (I promise you they don't sparkle), Daybreakers is not a horror film. The gothic Anne Rice trappings of vamp culture have been shunned in favour of a world much like our own, where the vampires go to school, go to work and lead mostly normal lives. It just all happens after the sun goes down.
Instead, writer-directors Michael and Peter Spierig have opted to make a sci-fi thriller, with Edward's conflict with his company (headed by Jurassic Park's Sam Neill) at the heart of the story. That's not to say that there isn't gore, mind. There were several moments where I was compelled to look away from the screen, having forgotten to take my sick bag to the cinema. There are few shocks (though when they do happen you'll jump out of your seat), but there's a rather ghastly monster in the form of the subsiders, vampires who have been deprived of human blood, and who are brilliantly realised (if underused).
Given the film's fantastical premise, it is reassuringly grounded in reality. There's not a flying car or cyborg to be seen in the Spierigs' version of 2019, and there's a sly sense of humour throughout, from Uncle Sam-style 'hunt the humans' posters to the semi-familiar scene of workers queuing up outside their local coffee shop to buy their cups of blood on the way to work. The majority of the vampires are painted as fully-rounded creatures with morals and emotions, with Ethan Hawke putting in a sterling performance as Dalton. He serves as the viewer's route into this strange world, and he clearly has severe issues with his lifestyle.
Indeed, it is only Ed's boss, played with a ham factor of 11 by Sam Neill, who seemingly resists most attempts to give his character a third dimension, preferring to remain gloriously evil throughout. That said, even he has a few moments where the audience is left feeling almost sorry for him.
There are a few weaker links in the cast, namely Claudia Karvan as the love interest and Michael Dorman as Ed's younger brother, both of whom put in by-the-numbers, but unspectacular, performances in their supporting roles. However, both seemed to have slightly perfunctory roles within the story, which may explain why they weren't able to do as much with their characters as Hawke or Neill.
The show is stolen, though, by Willem Dafoe as Lionel 'Elvis' Cormac, a human survivor with a surprising backstory. Almost unrecognisable at times, Dafoe springs to life whenever he's on screen, almost to the point of upstaging his fellow actors, truly becoming his wild-eyed rebel.
To say that this is a contender for one of my films of the year would mean very little at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised if it appears somewhere in my list come December. It's a nice mix of action, sci-fi and thriller, and the tension keeps up throughout. It's not perfect, and there are elements of the climax that are both predictable and cheesy, but I could have sat through much more of this. Indeed, the film's ending seems to scream 'sequel', and if they make it, I'll be there... Vampires seem to be going through a bit of a resurgence at the moment, don't they?
