My opinion on movies ... so the important opinion

Batman the dark knight
Wow, this movie is fantastic Heath Ledger was fantastic, so creepy and yet captivating, the only other actor that managed to produce such a fantastic character was Sir Anthony Hopkins with Hannibal. The perfect timing, planning and how he controls a whole city is incredible and believable. I want to go on and on about how amazing Heath Ledger is as The Joker but that would be neglecting Batman himself. But just to finish up on the extremely talented Heath Ledger I have to mark him on this 10/10 and just a very, very disappointing shame he is not with us anymore.

Bale as Batman is brilliant too, his arrogance as an actor shows on the extremely wealthy character Bruce Wayne which is a very important half of Batman. Him as Batman though, awesome too, he is probably my Batman, next to George Clooney. The story was incredible, the acting brilliant, another just amazing movie 9/10

The Matrix (the 1st one)
Ok a movie I can watch over and over and over again. Non stop action, non stop entertainment, just incredible. I love every second of this movie, certain quotes of the film just make me go oh my god this is incredible! I finding myself quoting it with Neo. There isn't a lot of drama in the actions what they do in the movie, that you see in most movies but it does't need it, it would ruin it. Truely captivating, it's got everythig and more I want in a good action film and don't understand a guy that doesn't like this, non stop action, the lack of emotion would annoy and lose attention of the female audience (if sexist, not meaning to be just an observation I have noticed) but for me it's incredible.Ok every movie has it's flaw, no movie is perfect, does Neo or Mr Anderson not have any relevets or friends that may miss him, even maybe he might miss them, no mention of it but maybe it was better that way missing that out. None the less I'm just going to do it, it's a 10/10 truely epic!


Baseketball
Next to Hot fuzz one of the funniest movies I've ever watched it's from the creators of South Park so automatically there you expect good things and it does ot disappoint. I have my cousin Ryan to thank for introducing me to it. It's about two wasters who hate the thought of a lot of exercise, so create a sport between baseball and basketball which doesn't require a lot of excerise. It's just hilarious how the two guys bully their very unfortunate friend Squeek and just the lines and near enough every scene is just hilarious. A certain store is selling it for £3, so a big laugh with immature, hilarious humour you shouldn't miss out on this another movie I urge to watch, I'm starting to guess I will urge you to watch a lot of films but you just have to.

Frequency
A movie that is under appreciated, frequency has to be one of my favourite movies. It's about a man (a cop) living in the ninites who lost his Dad as a boy with his friend's son finding his Dad's old radio (which his Dad used to use a lot of the time) bored the man goes on it and the frequency to due a wierd storm finds his Dad.
Finding a his Dad through this back-in-time frequency he tries to save his Dad tellinh him what to avoid but with doing so things change and a ruthless serial killer is saved and so they both try to save these victims (one of those victims being the man's mother). With a lot of action, I always find myself captivated by it, although I've seen so many times. The story line is briliant, the acting is briliant and just a briliant movie. Infact if I fake being ill I can probably go home and watch it now. I'm going to rate it 9/10 or 9 and a half it's incredible, maybe a fim because a lot men can relate the relationship between the man and his father. An amazing movie that I urge you all to watch




Talking about Snatch with my friend Colin we were going over names like Peaches and Cream but stuck with the Colin and James' podcast. Ok so snatch, if you're not usually into gangster movies this one can still entertain you. Okay it's a guy's film, guys would find it funny, guys would understand some of the characters who don't quite understand what's going on but pretend to anyway (and hopefully not relate themselves to characters like Brick-top). The coolest character gets killed off at the start but even with that kick in the nads the movie still is amazing 9/10

THE EXPENDABLES
The best action cast ever assembled shame about the story. A cheesey romance between stalone and a woman a third his age, and the same with a anti-surgey advertisement. A very awkward scene with Arnie, Stallone and Willis which made me consider about getting up from the counch and helping out in the kitchen.

The explosions and deaths were impressive but a big question is why would the very evil, very wealthy bad guy be interested in a poor South American country, it doesn't make any sense. Why would an American organisation be interested? Is there oil there?
Just rating the cool deaths, well they are awesome so an 8/10 for that but the rest of the film, just no ... just ... no

Colin and James' stuff (like Batman and Robin but better ... Colin's Robin)

The librarian the not so secret, secret agent

We talk about biscuit terrorism and racial hate between custard creams and bourbons. We talk about my friends, yeah that’s right I have friends! A little bit of Barry White & Charlie Sheen.
Oh and our godliness


White van man unsuspecting secret agent
We have managed to find this week's secret agent, the white van man, with his physique and lack of dress sense, c'mon yellow jackets! .. No! who would guess the not so secret, secret agent.
Another muck about, "who drinks Lilt?"
Basically talking about lilt, bad stuff that messes up your computer ... oh and the fact that if your reading and listening to this, you are not one of Colin's inferior mob, yay you. Just listen and appreciate the magic that is us:D


Could you imagine living in a box, a cardboard box, if you don't buy our t-shirts and tea coasters we may have to resort to stealing again, okay we maybe doing that the now anyway but we may have to NEED to steal, so please, ok pretty please :D ... just give us your money :D

what's happening to all the old pubs?


I live in Dunfermline and grew up appreciating the big group of men surrounding the bar with the tradional friendly-bantered bar maid. It was dark and the carpet was was now a very dirty, dark shade of red or was it green?
The smog of smoke and and the greeting of jeers and cheers would be the introduction to this tradional,casual, comfortable, social outing. In one particular pub (my Dad's local) everyone knew everyone, it would bring the community together and would make buying a newspaper with a hangover the next day less awkward because you can attempt conversation with your friend.
A very masculine memory where all the husbands and dad's would pop in from work or walking the dog hiding from the wife. A very masculine memory but a good memeory personally because it was with my Dad now being able to legally drink and fit into the slurring mob it has all gone, all changed.
The smog of smoke band, the comfortable, slurring group of males now well-presented with their wives being careful of what they say as they have to sleep on the counch aftewards. It's funny shaded of red or maybe green is laminated flooring. The one bar maid who knew is a part-timer going and coming back form university. Even the locals are changing, the orignal faces are rarely there due to health warning and lack of money.
Have they matured and realised that the wife doesn't belong in the kitchen?
Has the pub itself changed not aiming themselves at a paricular niche and making a much larger amount cutomer?
Or do I just miss the feeling my Dad and I had meeting and talking to my Dad's friends?

I believe that the small pubs are wanting to be the trndy bars in the city and that in doing so they are losing their souls and replacing with an emptiness that perhaps does bring in a lot more money.There are still trdaional pubs open for business but soon they will give into the temptation of a larger profit maybe due to the taxes always soaring up.

All I have to say to finish this post off is I'm going to miss the tradional pub.

Why are we to blame for yobs "with nothing to do"

With the young gangs going about vandalising, underage drinking and even killing innocent citizens are the government and councils really to blame. There are many different organisations here to give us the start in life we need as children into adults like the Boys Brigade for example:
 The Boys Brigade has been a big influence in my life, most of my mates are from the Boys Brigade growing up in that social enviroment with them has given me the chance to make alot of friends over the years, it has taught me discipline and how to work well as a part of the team. It has given me the chance to work for and achieve awards such as the Queens Badge and soon the Gold Duke Of Edinburgh award. Because of the Boys Brigade I have been able to go hiking, camping and various different sports and to achieve awards at these sports. I am very thankful for the Boys Brigade and really appreciated my time there as a boy and appreciating my time there working towards becoming an officer. Being lucky enough to have such a briliant experience I would urge any boy to join and to discover what we the Boys Brigade are all about.
There are female equivalents and from my personal experience I know there are plenty of opportunities for us young people and really gives no excuse for misbehaviour.

What are they playing that?

A perfect example is the suffragists and the suffragettes who remembers the quiet, hard working suffragists? The extremists suffragettes were vital with their unpeaceful and were recognised, not ignored by the ignorant dominant men of that era. We "Great" Britian get messed about with finances wanting the poor to remain poor branding us all scroungers. Hopes and ambitions are being taken away from us and  I just don't believe peaceful riots work, Egypt taught us this. Maybe the people up at the top should actrually listen to us rather than trying to brain wash us with ignorant snobs bad mouthing us.
