The Hangover (2009) Movie Review

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:28:00 +0000

The Hangover movie review, where do I start? The Hangover movie is about 4 guys that decide to hit Las Vegas before Doug (Justin Bartha) gets married.

The guys stay at Cesar’s Palace hotel and end up going to the roof of the hotel to toast the night ahead. As it turns out Doug's future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis) decided to make their night out more interesting buy buying some ecstasy tablets and spiking their drinks without them knowing but instead of ecstasy he was given the rape drug hence why they couldn’t remember a thing when they woke up the next morning with their apartment demolished, found a baby and a tiger in their apartment, Stu has a missing tooth and Phil is wearing a hospital bracelet and they realise that Doug is missing.

This is where their search for Doug starts with guys heading to the hospital to see why Phil is wearing their bracelet.

Without revealing too much their search for Doug puts them in a lot of funny situations as they try to discover what really happened the night before. They also find Mike Tyson in their apartment who has found keys to their room in the cage of his tiger :).

There is also a naked Chinese mafia guy in the boot of their car, the very same guy ends up demanding $80.000 that was stolen from him the night before in exchange for their friend Doug. Of course if that was the case the movie wouldn’t be that funny so you will have to watch it to discover what really happened. I must say that I was a bit shocked when I saw Mike Tyson in there and somewhat surprised with his appearance. He is definitely not Mike Tyson I remember – he definitely needs to lose some weight.

Can’t write much more without revealing the whole story line. You will just have to trust me and go out and watch The Hangover movie and I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.

Cast: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Heather Graham, Sasha Barrese, Jeffrey Tambor, Ken Jeong, Rachael Harris, Mike Tyson, Mike Epps etc.

The Last Island (1990) Movie Review

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:25:00 +0000

Thought I would give The Last Island a go as you generally find little gems of a movie within titles/actors/age of the movie that you generally would just flick past.

It has a great cast Sean (Paul Freeman - a billionaire gay) who is my favourite character. Joanna (Shelagh McLeod) playing a strong headed woman to inspire to. Mrs Godame (Patricia Hayes – great actress) playing a wise retired woman (fab character too). Nick (Kenneth Colley – great actor!) God loving preacher. Pierre (Marc Berman) general nice French chap and Jack (Ian Tracey) young chap wants a laugh and lots of girls! And that’s it :)

These 7 characters end up in a plane crash on a lonely uninhabited island without any means of communication. They survive for quite a while before people change and turn on each other.

They think (didn’t quite know why!) that the whole planet had been hit by who knows what and no one had survived. And it was up to Joanna to repopulate!!

I wont put any spoilers in here but safe to say it’s a great movie and has that real feel of an oldie but a goodie.

Now a days movies are full of special effects and sometimes, not so great acting.

The cast was perfect and they played their characters very well!! I was going to put this in the title but its quite a large spoiler I suppose :)

So Ill put it here - don’t read any further!! Its a great line from one of my fav movies that kinda suits this movie down to the ground :) 'Man Kills Man - Woman Inherits the earth' :) teehee :) (Jurassic Park - probably am paraphrasing there though!

Seven Pounds (2008) Movie Review

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:58:00 +0100

I can’t even begin to write how I felt after watching this movie. The Director of this movie (Gabriele Muccino) and writer (Grant Nieporte) made me see mankind and the type of kindness that people can actually give in a new light. Do things like this actually happen? Absolutely beautiful storyline and one I didn’t expect (until the end of course).

Will Smith NEVER disappoints!! Will Smith plays a depressed IRS agent and his abilities outshine so many actors and the emotion he shows seems so genuine and powerful. Perfect for this role. Love you Will Smith :) :)

Seven Pounds is full of fantastic actors such as Woody Harrelson who plays Ezra Turner, a blind meat representative!   Elpida Carillo, Latin woman abused by her husband.   Rosario Dawson played Emily Posa, great actress to play against Will Smith. Barry Pepper (who stared in Knockaround Guys with Vin Diesel (fab film), The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy of the State to name a few) plays a character close to Ben Thomas (Smith). Judyann Elder played Holly Apelgren she was also in ER, Desperate Housewives (thought she was familiar!), Cold Case and Becker!

I didn’t expect this ending in a million years!! I won’t give away any spoilers as it would completely ruin the experience for you. So this review will have no highlights in it. Best watched with fresh eyes/mind!!!! Definitely putting this movie on my Christmas DVD wish list :) as it’s a keeper!! A high ranking 5 out of 5!!!   (She says wiping the tears away :) ).     Think I'm going to watch it once/twice more before returning it :)

Find Me Guilty - Movie Review

Fri, 02 Oct 2009 12:30:00 +0100

Vin Diesel is completely different from the other muscle brandishing characters he has played before (or after!). Written and Directed by Sidney Lumet and T.J. Manchini, Find Me Guilty is based on the true story of Jack DiNorscio who is a mobster arrested after a drugs bust. Sentenced to thirty years and realising that the lawyer assigned to him probably got him that thirty years (for being utterly useless!) decides the best person to represent DiNorscio…. Is DiNorscio! The prosecutor Sean Kierney (Linus Roache) offers DiNorscio a deal to rat on his mafia family/friends in exchange for freedom but obviously tells him where to go!

This movie is fantastic! Forget Scarface, Godfather and all of those kind of hard to watch beat em up gangster/mafia movies.

Find Me Guilty is funny, palatable and clever. Vin Diesel plays the part fantastically – a mobster who is loved and much respected by his family and in the end the apposing family Nick Calabrese (Alex Rocco – great actor!).

The wardens in prison are like his neighbours next door, even showing DiNorscio respect – there is a scene at the beginning where DiNorscio is being taken to court and DiNorscio (rides in the back of the car like they are all off to watch a baseball game) asks the driver to please open the window, driver says no, DiNorscio leans over onto one butt cheek (gorgeous as it maybe) and lets one rip. The warden groans laughingly and opens the window. Classic and not common for a Vin Diesel character - Brilliant!

The only downside to this movie is that I can’t stand to watch Vin Diesel smoke!! Strange issue I know but the movie didn’t need him to be a faggy (even if he is one in real life – unfortunately!).

Toshiba recently announced a new series of 2.5-inch 640GB hard drives. I must admit that I would love to have this sort of capacity in my notebook because walking around with external USB drives is no fun.

Toshiba's new hard dives offer up to 620GB of capacity and are the industry’s largest for a 2.5HDD.

Toshiba's new 2.5-inch HDD line-up is an attractive solution for high performance notebook PCs and all-in-one desktops.

One of the cool features is a free-fall sensor which helps protect the drive should the host system be dropped.

The new hard drives will be available from October 09.

Logitech mouse that works on any surface

Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:30:00 +0100

The Logitech Performance Mouse MX and the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX feature Logitech Darkfield Laser Tracking, which allows you to use your mouse virtually anywhere you want.

You can even use the mouse on clear glass and high-gloss surfaces.

"Logitech research showed that 40 percent of people have a glass surface in their home.

This coupled with the increase in the popularity of laptop computers, means that people are moving around and coming into contact with a multitude of surfaces such as granite and lacquered wood – that challenge the tracking capabilities of standard mice"
