WHAT THE FRACK...ARE YOU WATCHING?

DARK GIRLS

2013-07-04T15:08:00.000+01:00

"I DON'T REALLY LIKE DARK SKINNED WOMEN BECAUSE THEY LOOK FUNNY BESIDE ME"

This just demonstrated the ignorance of people within black culture as one black male was asked his opinion on dark skinned girls.

Dark Girls a documentary showcasing the attitudes of people in how they think and act around dark skinned women, not only from other races but from within the black community. Making it's world television premier on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) Dark Girls was a moving and thought provoking documentary which often had me thinking and questioning our social attitudes into what we say without actually thinking of the impact it may have on people. While watching this I couldn't help but think if I had been experiencing deja vu. Had I seen this documentary before? I think I did however this version had been slightly upgraded.

Phrases which echoed throughout the documentary were ones I had heard myself through my own experiences, such as...

"She looks pretty for a dark skinned girl"

"I don't date dark skinned girls"

"Black girls are too aggressive"

Reflecting back on my days studying Sociology at college reminded me when you say something to someone long enough they will start to believe it themselves therefore creating a self fulfilling prophecy. What shocked me the most out of the documentary was the reactions from children. One child was shown a cartoon of 5 girls with different skin tones placed in order from lightest to darkest. She was asked which girl was the prettiest to which she answered the white girl. She was then asked which girl was the ugliest to which she answered the darkest girl. When asked her reasons for her decision she replied..."Because she is black"

Dark Girls was a documentary which really broke down the history of black people, discussing the concept of the brown paper bag test. If you were darker than the paper bag you were considered ugly, stupid and worthless. They also reflected on how black people are portrayed within the media, as they discussed the lightening of Beyonce's skin in the Lore'l ad campaign to how skin bleaching is becoming a normality in parts of Africa and the Western world. While also exploring how social media has provided people with an online veil to hide behind as they racially degrade each other.

This documentary is must see for everyone especially for black women. The underlying theme of learning to love yourself and accepting who you are found its light throughout the film and by the end of film it proclaimed that black women must rise. Rise above every circumstance and rise above every oppression.

DARK GIRLS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON DVD 24TH SEPTEMBER 2013

TRUE BLOOD: SEASON 6

2013-07-03T15:35:00.000+01:00

VAMPIRES AND FAIRIES AND WOLVES OH MY!!!

The cast of TRUE BLOOD
Top: Lafayette, Tara, Jessica, Sookie & Sam / Bottom: Jason, Bill & Eric

Yaaaay, True Blood is back. OK so I'm a little late rejoicing over its return being that it started 3 weeks ago and as you can tell there has been a little drought here with content as I have been extremely busy working stupid hours, that I have been just too tired to type or even find the time to watch anything. (Enough with the ranting)

So now I have so much free time on my hands, I can now catch up on all I have missed and blog to my hearts content. So season 6 kicks off right from we left off with Lilith possessing Bill's body and then he goes on this crazy rampage chasing Eric and Sookie through the building, while the rest of the gang Tara, Pam, Jason, Jessica and Nora fight off Vamps to try and escape.

*Fast Forward* They escape, reunite with each other, drive off, building blows up, looks through car back window....Bill naked covered in blood walks through fire. "Oh Sh*t lets keep driving"

Being that it was the first episode there were things happening but there wasn't anything that major, other than Jessica being horrifically summoned and Sam's shifter girlfriend (I forgot her name, shows you how much valued her importance) dying. However they have begun to set up the Warlow story with Jason playing hitchhiker and being picked up by a lone driver who's kinda old and kinda creepy looking driving him home as they begin talking about life in Bon Temps. Which we later find out *Spoiler* yes you guessed it that kinda old kinda creepy man is indeed...WARLOW

To be honest I wasn't that impressed with last season and the whole Lilith story so I'm hoping they really bring it in season 6 and push the Warlow story. I hope this guy is a real bad ass just like how they made Russel Edgington in Season 3 (who I still feel should have won an award for his part) as he is "The true face of VAMPIRE!"

I will continue to invest an hour weekly into TRUE BLOOD and look forward to some epic moments with speedy Vampire fighting, stakes through hearts and it will be interesting to meet some new characters as well. It's good to have you back True Blood...WAITING SUCKS!!!

THE GOSSIP GAME

2013-04-09T17:45:00.001+01:00

I AM NOT HERE FOR THIS SHOW!!!

Another reality show. This time it shows the lives about women in the world of Hip Hop. Bloggers, radio hosts, editors, and writers. Seriously who are these women? I only knew Angela Yee from Power 105.1 "The Breakfast Club". Unnecessary arguments and stupid meetings at clothing shops for dogs, just to gain viewers with a side of very poor vocabulary as it seems the only word every person on this show seems to use is "RATCHET."

"Ratchet This...Ratchet That...Ooooh She Ratchet!!!" -___-

I really have no care for any of these women and this show is pointless. I watched the premier episode last week and thought it was crap then but I thought let me give it another chance. To be honest I was bored and I saw it on so I thought let me kill some time. I should have just continued staring at the wall because I think I would have got more inspiration from that. I really have nothing positive to say about this show and I am pretty sure it will get cancelled after the first season.

If you like mind numbing pointless TV then you can catch "The Gossip Game" on VH1 and online somewhere if you can be bothered to look.

YOUNGERS

2013-03-20T15:49:00.000Z

"SOUTH LONDON IS BACK ON THE MAP IN NEW E4 DRAMA"

New drama "YOUNGERS" is set to make it's television debut tonight on E4. First impressions of the advert...Kidulthood the TV series? However with a 7:30pm pre-watershed time slot I highly doubt it will be as dark and gritty with excessive violence, sex & foul language. *sigh*

CHECK OUT THE TRAILER FOR "YOUNGERS" HERE

The advert pretty much says it all to be honest. A kid trying to get out of the hood. Music is his passion. Struggles with identity. Love interest. Gets into trouble with a local ruffian and then probably makes it and lands a record deal or it could go very left and he ends up getting killed. But I'm not one to put down a show before I've seen it. I was granted an exclusive first preview by E4 as I was invited to an advance screening of the pilot episode. OK I lied, I just watched it on 4OD and you can watch it as well if you register.

So it ticked the majority of boxes of what I expected to see in a show like this. Two best friends, Yemi & Jay. "Pinky and the Brain" as I like to call them. One is a genius the others insane but they both have a passion for music. So Jay signs them up for a music competition called MicStar which Yemi is reluctant to enter as his traditional Nigerian mother disproves. The episode featured appearances by YouTube celebrities "Mandem On The Wall" playing there usual role as being...mandem on the wall as the joke about living the YOLO (You Only Live Once) lifestyle and brags about getting in the Music Industry & the Pimping Industry. Yeah your typical "Wasteman" (A person who sits around doing nothing all day who has no ambition or plan in life) you usually see on road who are always "Getting Money"

A key moment I found funny was the scene where Jay shows the mandem on the wall his phone of a girl he is seeing but then of them switches to the next picture to reveal a half naked picture of Jay. He screams and complains that his eyes are burning.

It was a good first episode and definitely reaches it's audience of secondary school and college students. It has been a while since we have had something like this on screens. The last show we had that I can remember was "TOP BOY." I can see that this show wants to shed a more positive light showing that South London is not all about gang culture, drugs and merciless killings like how the media tends to portray it. So I hope it does well. Kudos to E4 for giving something like this the green light.

CATCH "YOUNGERS" STARTING WEDNESDAY 20th MARCH 7:30pm ONLY ON E4

BATES MOTEL

2013-03-19T18:05:00.000Z

"EVERY STORY HAS A BEGINNING & EVERY PSYCHO HAS A PAST"

"Image courtesy of Sinful Celluloid"

The "Bates Motel". Ring any bells? Sound familiar? Probably not but to a true movie buff it should. The Bates Motel is one of the most famous motels in movie history, noted for it's appearance in the Alfred Hitchcock film..."PSYCHO" now do you see where I'm going with this. So I saw the trailer for this new show last night as I delved into my weekly showing of WWE's Monday Night Raw. (I know I'm too grown to still be watching Wrestling but the nostalgic moments here in there make it somewhat entertaining)

Murder, cover ups and a very familiar looking hotel. I won't lie at first I thought it was the house from the "Adams Family" but the stairs leading up to the house brought it all back to me. So I thought..."Why not?" I'm not familiar with the original Hitchcock "Psycho" but I do remember glancing at the 1998 remake starring Vince Vaughn.

It seems like origin storylines are the new trend, with games such as Tomb Raider and God of War following suit. (Who doesn't like a good origin story) Bates Motel tells the story of Norman Bates before he became the famous "PSYCHO" killer and how they moved into the house and take over the Seafairer Motel and renamed it the Bates Motel.

We begin to realise quite quickly that Norman's mother seems to be quite the pro when it comes to killing and has a somewhat natural flair about it. I'm quite excited to see the character progression of Norman Bates and how he transforms. As the first episode already shows traits of this as Norman looks through an illustrated book of a girl being held captive and chained to a bathroom sink.

Now I love shows that can leave me with suspense and with this being an ode to the Master of Suspense Alfred Hitchcock I am hoping to get the most shocks and surprises. However combined with the makers of Lost. I'm hoping it won't be too suspenseful that I'm having to wait for 4 seasons before I get to know why something happened in episode 2 of season 1. I'm getting a "Dexter Morgan" vibe from this show and I hope it provides me with all the greatness that show brought.

PREACHER'S DAUGHTERS

2013-03-19T14:50:00.000Z

"IT'S ALWAYS THE PASTOR'S DAUGHTER WHO IS THE WORST."

Left: Kolby Middle: Olivia, Right: Taylor

Last night a glass of Asda's finest wine in my left hand and a Magnum chocolate ice cream in my right. OK I'm lying it wasn't a Magnum it was a similar cheaper version from Aldi. Don't judge me it tasted the same. I came across this show which follows the lives of 3 Preacher's Daughters (hence the title)

"SEE NO EVIL, HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL"

Now I don't know why I decided to watch this, maybe it's because I was bored and the 3 for £10 wine got to me a little. Well it felt at first like I was watching 16 and pregnant as it had that similar format of reality TV so I was about ready to switch off until I heard one of the girls tell her sister that she fantasised about being a porn star....HELLO!!!

I told you...
"It's always the pastor's daughter who is the worst"

Taylor wants to be porn star. Olivia doesn't know who her baby daddy is and Kolby just want's to date but her parents are strongly against it. Like any other reality show it seems like some of these scenes have been set up entirely for entertainment such as Taylor wanting to go to a waterpark and sneaks out in a skimpy bikini without her dad knowing. Like any "Good Girl" she has to have that stereotypical bad boyfriend who curses and smokes weed but she is truly madly deeply in love with him.

To be honest I don't see myself rushing home to watch it but i'm sure if I have my £3.33 recurring wine again I will likely browse over the next episode. But if your into shows like 16 & Pregnant then I'm sure you'll enjoy this. Check out the trailer for "PREACHER'S DAUGHTERS" below.

COMMUNITY

2013-03-15T15:10:00.000Z

NOW SEASON 4 REALLY BEGINS...

Last nights episode of Community for me was the beginning of Season 4. I'm a very big fan of Community. I love it's witty humour and it's sly jokes that you probably will miss the first time watching but will certainly get a kick out of the next few times you watch. The first few episodes of this season have been OK with a few moments of laughter but episode 6 titled "Advanced Documentary Filmaking" brought it all back to what I first fell in love with about the show.

It was great to have Chang back and this episode had some really great moments. From Pierce's not so subtle racism painting his hand yellow and one hand brown to create a Mexican and Chinese hand puppet. This show really knows how to push the envelope with comedy and I wonder at times how they get away with it. But it isn't an episode of Community without Britta, "Britta-ing" a moment. As Abed makes a documentary about "Changnesia" and Britta gets hold of the camera we know something is bound to go wrong.

Throughout the episode we are left wondering whether Chang is actually suffering from Changnesia and Jeff's pessimism wont allow himself to believe that this condition is real. He goes out of his way to prove Chang is making this all up. But it seems after all Chang was telling the truth or was he...

*SPOILER*

The episode ended with Chang walking down the college corridor and making a phone call to an anonymous person saying "They finally bought it. Hook, line and WINGER" (one of his many terrible puns on Jeff's surname) "Awaiting your further instructions. CHANG OUT!" followed by the evil mastermind laugh "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"

So who is this mystery person Chang is working with?

Will we see a familiar face from the past?
What outfit will the Dean where next week?

I can't wait to see what happens next.

"SAME GAME, DIFFERENT ERA"

It's a Thursday evening, I'm in my bedroom, relaxing and I hear "Beenie Man - Dude" playing. You know the reggae dancehall artist who hails from Jamaica. Now my grandmother is the only person downstairs and I'm thinking to myself...
"Is Nan really downstairs watching B.E.T?"
As the song continues to play it hear the person say the name of the show but it was pretty muffled so I couldn't hear very well, however I heard the rest...
"Brand new British comedy coming soon to ITV2"

So I went into CSI mode and began searching the internet for the advert.

Google...Search...."Beenie Man ITV2"....and voila I found the advert.

Described as "Three desperate young men from the suburbs as they try to get laid, hold downs jobs and climb the social ladder in the big city" The Beenie Man song was already attention grabbing but a bit more research into the show wouldn't go amiss. After watching a few more sneak preview clips I began to somewhat see a resemblance to one of my favourite British comedies...The Inbetweeners however set in Ancient Rome.If it's anything like it predecessor I'm sure we are in for a definite treat, but I'll hold my applause till after the first episode airs.

90210 CANCELLED???

2013-03-07T13:02:00.000Z

WHAT THE FRACK...reports are circulating the internet that 90210 has be cancelled and that Season 5 will be its last season. A dramatic fall in ratings has caused the show to go under the axe. I am deeply saddened by this as I am a huge fan of the show. From Naomi's dramatic antics, to Silver sleeping with everyone, Adrianna who's just always in some kind of problems and Liam's stalker girlfriend Vanessa. I feel like these characters have become a part of my life...OK maybe that's a slight step too far but you see where I'm going with this.

Jessica Stroup - Silver tweets her goodbye message

Trevor Donovan - Teddy: tweets his thanks to the show.

I always say that's the main problem with shows concerning teenagers and school life. Once they graduate, audiences become bored and it becomes hard for writers to continue engaging viewers with their story lines. I must admit 90210 kept the suspense coming which is what I loved about the show. Its a damn shame and I'm very sad to see it go.

THE FOLLOWING

2013-01-31T11:23:00.000Z

Look Out, There's Another Serial Killer Is On The Loose!

So I'm up late the other night as you do and I saw an advert for this new show on Sky Atlantic called "The Following" I saw Kevin Bacon so I kinda assumed it was another one of those "EE" adverts that continuously pollute our TV screens. But as the advert progressed and I saw a few dead bodies and talks about serial killers I kinda thought this is a bit strong to be selling a phone network. I sat forward now intrigued as I started to imagine years back when I found out about "Dexter".

Mobile phone in hand I began researching and investigating more into the show and watched a few more trailers. I don't know why though to be honest as I was already sold by the first advert. So I decided to watch the first episode and I was not disappointed. Master serial killer villain, helpless victims, action packed and suspenseful with a touch of gore. Just how I like my TV shows.

EPISODE 1 (Beware "SPOILERS" are lurking)

So this killer patterns his work after Edgar Allen Po you know that guy who believes "The Eyes Are The Window To The Soul" so this killer removes the eyes from his victims. (Nice) The episode begins with Mr. Serial Killer escaping from a prison where he has been put away for killing a few girls. However one of these girls managed to survive and testified against him in court and now he wants to finish the job. With a few flashbacks we begin to somewhat understand who this man is and get a little back story. This killer is definitely good at what he does and you kinda wonder how he seems to get around unnoticed. *SPOILER HERE IT COMES* Until the revelation appears that he is getting help and he has developed some sort of cult / fan club of people willing to do his bidding. Now after being captured and put into police custody the killings seem to continue which gave me traces of Gerard Butler in Law Abiding Citizen. *END OF SPOILER*

After a very interesting first episode I'm definitely intrigued to find out what is going to happen in the coming weeks. I must say this a good start to the new year in terms of TV. So this gets a thumbs up from me and a seal of approval. Still not sold? Then have a look at the trailer for "The Following" here...

REAL HUSBANDS OF HOLLYWOOD

2013-01-30T12:55:00.000Z

Comedian Kevin Hart along with an all star cast form this line up of wild and crazy antics which follow the lives of six husbands living in Hollywood. It's good to see scripted TV being brought back to our TV's as we are cluttered and forced to watch "reality tv" and I use that term loosely. (I cant deny though as terrible as those reality TV shows are I cant help but tune in every week)

Real Husbands of Hollywood plays as a parody to all the other reality TV shows such as (The Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, Love & Hip Hop and all them other Ratchet pieces of TV) It uses the same format of reality TV show however its all scripted poking fun at the over dramatic fights and pointless sit downs. Why is it in all these reality TV shows they have to go and sit down at a restaurant but I've never seen anyone actually order any food.

RHOH (Real Husbands of Hollywood) surrounds itself around 6 main characters who all are real husbands except for Kevin who recently divorced his wife.

Kevin Hart (Comedian / Actor)

Happily Divorced

Nick Cannon (All Round Business Man)

Husband of Mariah Carey (Biggest Selling Female Artist of All Time)

Boris Kodjoe (Actor)

Husband of Nicole Ari Parker (Actress & former Model)

Duane Martin (Actor)

Husband of Tischa Campbell-Martin (Actress - best known for her role as Jay in "My Wife & Kids)

JB Smoove (Comedian / Actor)

Husband of Shahidah Omar (Singer / Songwriter)

Robin Thicke (R&B Singer)

Husband of Paula Patton (Actress the sexy woman who plays alongside Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 4)

These guys are hilarious and really work well together. It's funny to see reality from a man's perspective. But these guys are just as bad as the women, bitching to each other about one another. Also expect to loads of cameo appearances as Mr. Hart brings in his celebrity friends. After watching the first two episodes and seeing how funny it is I hope this show gets a good run. It's a thumbs up from me and a...

90210

2013-01-29T16:23:00.000Z

I don't know who is writing for 90210 but they are doing a damn good job. I remember years ago when they announced they were bringing it back I can admit I had my reservations, thinking this was going to be a real girlie show but was I wrong. Just when you think something is going right they flip the script entirely and then there's more drama. I wouldn't have thought they would make 5 seasons to begin with but 90210 is really great TV.

From Silver having issues trying to get pregnant, Liam dealing with stalkers, Dixon being wheelchair bound and Naomi dealing with married life is just this the tip of the iceberg to all the other madness that goes on. What this show does really well is leave you with some great cliffhangers making you ask..."WHAT THE FRACK?"

The weird thing about this show is the fact these friends are forever sleeping with each other. When I count up these relationships Silver tops the list of sleeping with the most friends. (Look how modest she is)

Navid

Liam
Dixon
Teddy

*SPOILER*

This weeks episode created a "What If..." Wizard of Oz theme. After Annie being shot and the end of last weeks episode she goes into surgery creating a dream like sequence of her being back in Kansas and moving to LA not knowing anyone and everyone is living different lives. Naomi is in real estate, Dixon is a big time gangster rapper, Silver is a vicious celebrity blogger, Navid is Dixon's assistant and Adrianna is a Hollywood actress with a drink problem. It was a pretty weird episode to begin with but then I enjoyed seeing what it would be like for these characters if Annie wasn't around and they chose a different path in life.

LOVE & HIP HOP

2013-01-29T14:29:00.000Z

EPISODE 3: FAMILY MATTERS

Now this is Ratchetness at its finest. However I applaud Love & Hip Hop for exploring these underlining themes which effect everyday life. Consequence and Jen's story of raising a family in an interracial and inter-faith relationship illustrate the strains this can have in a household and how they struggle to find the balance of how to raise their child. Yandy and Mendeecee's story of having a newborn who is unwell also pulls on the heart strings but I feel with all the foolishness going on with Erica in a shouting match overshadows these key stories. But I guess people like the arguments and cat fights.

So this weeks episode focused mainly on Yandy and Mendeecees story of them finding out that their baby boy has a Kidney problem and surgery would be the only way to make sure he is alright. It was pretty sad to see this as anyone could empathise with them in this situation not knowing what could happen, and being that the child is only a few months old. I really like Yandy and I'm glad she's not all about that drama.

"...AAAANND SCENE!"
Then it's back to the arguing. So Jen the Pen and Raqi have all of sudden become best friends and decide to go out to a club. Low and behold Tahiry and Rashida aka Wendy are also at the club. Coincidence??? HELL NO. This is Love & Hip Hop there are no coincidences because the majority of this "reality" TV show is all scripted. So it's back and forth between the enemies Tahiry and Raqi calling out each about how many men each person has slept with (so lady like) while Jen the Pen sits so awkwardly between them.

Joe Budden continues to battle his substance abuse and needs Tahiry to help him with that by taking an at home drug test. But what I don't understand and really can't seem to get my head around is that Mr. Budden has a girlfriend and how is she OK with Joe being around his ex Tahiry knowing they have so much history and might I add chemistry. I don't know how he does it but I'm hoping he will teach me. (I kid I kid).

I refuse to give Erica any light but from next weeks preview it looks like we are going to finally hear what she sounds like as she tries to break into a singing career. I'm expecting it be to terrible but with the power of autotune and studio magic they will probably be able to turn water into wine.

SCANDAL

2013-01-28T12:35:00.000Z

One of my favourite shows at the moment has to be SCANDAL. Recommended by a friend and being constantly bombarded with Tweets on my timeline and memes on Instagram I decided to give Scandal a watch. Scandal is a political thriller starring woman of the moment Kerry Washington. I always say there is a BGM (Black Girl of the Moment) that dominates Hollywood.

The last BGM was Zoe Saldana who literally was in a new film every 3 months and now Kerry Washington is that girl. With a hit prime time show on ABC, the star of the latest controversial film by the great Quentin Tarantino "Django Unchained" (Which you all need to see by the way) and quoted President Barack Obama's favourtie actress, Miss Washington has come along way since her role in "Save The Last Dance"

Scandal surrounds itself around the life of Miss Olivia Pope who's character was inspired by Judy Smith the founder, president and CEO of crisis management firm Smith & Company. Olivia Pope is an ex Whitehouse employee who worked very closely with the President in his campaign for presidency. Oliva now runs her own law firm but she is not a laywer or your convential one you might say. She is more of a fixer, a damage controller, a "Gladiator in a Suit".

Clients come to her office with problems they need fixing and she and her trusty team gets them out of these problems. Dealing with murders, affairs, kidnappings Olivia Pope and her team get the job done by any means necessary. But the beauty of Scandal is that while each episode usually focuses on a new client with a trickier problem there's far more deeper and darker secrets concerning Miss Pope and her team which unfold as everyone has a past.

The writing team at Scandal team have been doing an excellent job creating great storylines and suspense leaving you wondering WHAT THE FRACK...JUST HAPPENED??? Combined with a great cast and story, Scandal has the Twitter universe buzzing and is definitely one to watch. So if you haven't already tuned I recommend you do so.

Catch Scandal on ABC for US viewers and on More 4 and Channel 4 for UK viewers
Or online somewhere if you have neither.

E3 2012

2012-06-06T17:19:00.000+01:00

E3 is the worlds largest gaming conference where game developers annually come together to show off the latest titles and innovations that will soon hit our shelves. This year I watched the live coverage on Youtube where developers such as Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Ubisoft, EA, Konami and others came to exclusively show us the new developments they have been making.

As a Playstation fanboy I was completely blown away by Sony's press conference which revealed footage of the newest titles exclusive to the Playstation 3 which included, Beyond: Two Souls, God Of War Ascension and The Last Of Us.

Microsoft exclusives showed footage from Halo 4 (that game I really have no care for) and the new Gears of War Judgement (again another title i have no care for. Call me biased I don't care) however they managed to show the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise which will be available on both the PS3 & Xbox360. I'm a big Lara Croft fan, (not for reasons you may think...you dirty perv) I've been following the game for years but with competition from other adventure/action/exploration titles such as Uncharted, creators new they had to step it up.

Tomb Raider E3 2012: Exclusive Gameplay Demo

Now Im sure most of the lads mainly residing in the UK were awaiting the EA (Electronic Arts) press conference...me not so much. But I wont leave you guys hanging. During the EA press conference most men were awaiting the reveal of...FIFA13

A live demo was shown of FIFA 13 on the Xbox360 using the connect with an exclusive add-on feature of voice recognition. It was revealed that players could make substitutions without having to pause the game and could substitute by using voice recognition like a real manager would. They could also control players on the field using the same technology...sounds insane. Take a look at the FIFA13 demo

FIFA 13 E3 2012: Exclusive Gameplay Demo

During E3 2012 it was also announced that there would be both a Dance Central 3 and Just Dance 4 due for release. With Usher performing to announce the Dance Central 3 title exclusively for the Xbox 360 and Flo Rida performing to announce the Just Dance 4 title for the Xbox360, Wii & PS3.

For Xbox360 Kinnect

For Nintendo Wii, Xbox360 & PS3

The titles on the night which stood out for me were The Last Of Us which looked like a very gritty and violent action adventure game which looked liked I was watching a movie. As well as this the revealed title Watch Dogs created by Ubisoft was the dark horse of the event so far. With viewers drawing comparisons to Grand Theft Auto (I guess) where you have the ability to freely roam around the city shot people, hack calls and drive cars caught everyone's attention. These are now becoming less like games and more like interactive films and I love it. Check out the gameplay trailers for both The Last Of Us and Watch Dogs

My Big Fat Fetish

2012-05-23T13:48:00.000+01:00

I'm not sure if you may have got to seen the spectacle that was the top trending topic on Twitter yesterday night "My Big Fat Fetish" shown on Channel 4 but It was definitely interesting to watch as it showed the lives of big women who make a living from being big.

Now I must say that I admire each and every one of these women as they are so confident and comfortable with themselves and their body weight in such a size concious world that we live in but a line has to be drawn somewhere in terms of health issues. It cannot be OK for them to be this size. One of the girls explained the concept of the feeding and the feeder where the feeder gains sexual pleasure from feeding another person and watching the person put on weight where the person being fed experiences sexual pleasure from being fed and their stomach being full. (It was pretty uncomfortable and disturbing to watch) The Goddess Patty makes her money from sitting on men who enjoy this as a sexual fetish. She weighs over 40 stone and men pay $600 to have "The Goddess" sit on them. (I don't get it either)

Other big girls make their money online through websites taking pictures and it followed the journey of a girl from Leeds who flew out to Florida to start career in BBW (Big Beautiful Women) which pleases their viewers with pictures and videos of themselves naked for their audience. This was viewed as the Playboy for big girls. I don't see the fantasy in this but to each is own and I guess that's the whole idea of it being a fetish.

I couldn't help but think to myself that was this just a front could someone really be that happy being that big all the time, not being able at times to physically help yourself, which was later echoed by Patty at the end of the episode who explained the regret she had for getting so big not being able to paint her own nails and having to be dependent on her son.

America's Best Dance Crew Season7: Episode 6 (Pitbull)

2012-05-18T17:13:00.001+01:00

So this weeks ABDC kicked off with the music of international superstar Pitbull. To be honest this wasnt my favourite week and there wasn't a stand out performance that made me want to rewind and watch again. The opening performance which included the remaining 5 crews...

8 Flavahz,
Fanny Pak,
Most Wanted Crew
Elektrolytes
Rated Next Generation

dance to "I Like: The Remix" featuring with a surprise appearance from Season 6 runner up "Iconic Boys" The performance was enjoyable creating a summer time beach theme with each crew having their stand out moments, it was a great collective routine.

This week each of the remaining crews was a given a country and an international style of dance to incorporate into their routines each set to the music of Pitbull. Again for the 3rd week in a row Fanny Pak was sent to the bottom two to fight for their place on the ABDC stage against Rated Next Generation. Each crew performed a solid routine which left the judges torn between the two crews. In the first time in ABDC history the judges decided to save both crews from elimination to dance another week.

WRESTLEMANIA 28

2012-04-02T14:34:00.001+01:00

Last night was a night for every person who grew up in the 90's to re-kindle their childhood. It was a moment of nostalgia as the most electrifying man in sports entertainment, the people's champion, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stepped back into the squared circle against John "Fruity Pebbles" Cena. I can honestly say I had no care for any of the matches last night except The Rock VS Cena and The Undertaker VS HHH.

So the first match was broadcast live on wwe.com began with a triple threat match for the tag team titles during a pre show livestream, I don't think people were to bothered about seeing this match due to the emptiness of the stadium but I can honestly say it was a good match I did enjoy watching it. After that the beautiful Lilian Garcia took to the stage singing the National Anthem. Then it was the first match on the scheduled bill for the heavyweight title between Sheamus and Daniel Bryan that lasted for a record breaking 18 seconds. The theme of this years Wrestlemania I feel was inspired by that programme "My Murder" don't trust girls, they will make you lose everything. Bryan is distracted, gets kicked by Sheamus...1,2,3 New Champion.

I really don't remember the next match I guess that shows how uninterested I was at the time, oh I remember now it was Kane and Orton. I didn't care who won this so we will move on but for those that do care Kane was victorious. Next was the Diva's tag team match, now usually I get excited when it comes to watching Diva's but I knew it was going to be pointless once I heard Kelly Kelly was involved. So I used this moment to fill up my glass with drink and take a well deserved bathroom break. BRING BACK TRISH!!! or at least lets see some real women wrestle.

Big Show v Cody Rhodes was next. I didn't care for this either, but then came the match I was waiting for UNDERTAKER VS HHH. I genuinely had no idea who was going to win this match and usually I'm good at reading wrestling but this match was so back and forth and exciting that this should have been the main event. At times I thought HHH had it in the bag then Undertaker would come back and take control of the match, then HHH would regain control. At this time Twitter was blowing up, i've never seen all trending topics revolving around one event. The house was literally divided as half wanted The Game to end the streak while the other half (including myself) wanted The Deadman to make it 20-0. After a long feuded battle The Game just weren't good enough and The Undertaker scored the pinfall, which half the house jumped up for joy (we're such kids)

After that match the next two just seemed irrelevant to me by this time I was getting tired I just wanted "The Rock" VS "John Cena" to hurry and begin. I cant even be asked to review those 2 matches but if you must know CM PUNK still has his belt and Team John Laurinitis aka Laryngitis won due to again by a female (Eve) setting up Zack Ryder causing his team to lose.

So now it was the main event. Going into this I knew this match weren't going to be as good as The Undertaker VS HHH they set the bar way too high. So they had huge entrances with Machine Gun Kelly performing and introducing Cena. With the speech MGK gave supporting Cena and the crowd booing him I cant wait to see his album sales after that. Flo Rida took the stage performing and introducing The Rock. So the bell rings and the two go at it, back and forth. At one point Cena was dominating the match in which all "The Rock" fans became a little worried (including myself) wondering is Cena actually going to win this, by then I thought if this idiot wins I'm going to recreate Summer 2011 and Loot the streets (I kid I kid I got exams soon I need to revise) But then my intellectual thinking cap came on and I began reading the wrestling script. I thought to myself you pay The Rock to take time out of his busy filming schedule to wrestle in his hometown of Miami Florida, in front of the miiiiillions and miiiiiilions...to LOSE? #AREYOUSERIOUSBRO naaah leave it yeah. So "The Rock" gets up grabs Cena and Rock Bottoms his ass for the 1,2,3 .

Overall I thought this was a good Wrestlemania very entertaining, however it still was not my fave but it definitely crapped on last years one. I'm sure Vince McMahon is laughing all the way to the bank due to the amount of people that ordered it on pay per view. Hi-5 to the people who watched it online.

PUNK'D

2012-03-23T11:41:00.001Z

Remember that show years ago with that young guy who married Demi Moore, and was the star of "That 70's show" and is now on "Two and a half men" you know him...Ashton Kutcher. The one that did crazy pranks on celebrities. Well I got news for you...

PUNK'D IS BAAAAAACCCKK!!!

Check out the trailer for PUNK'D 2012

First of all did you see the way "Tyler The Creator" jumped in the back of that truck. LMAO.

I'm very excited about the return of Punk'd and I think the long break from the last series made it so unexpected for these new celebs which should hopefully work in the shows favour. As in previous seasons I think they began to realise when being put in such crazy situations that they may be getting PUNK'D. Who can remember those classic episodes which resulted in bringing Justin Timberlake to tears and Beyonce ruining Christmas for those under privileged kids.

I'm not sure if it will be as good without Ashton because he was hilarious but we will see.

I would love to see them PUNK someone like Rick Ross to be honest telling him there's no chicken left in KFC. Wait and see if he doesn't burn that building down. "UUURRGH" I know I will be watching, will you?

"WHAT U MEAN U AINT GOT NO WINGS!!!???"

THE APPRENTICE

2012-03-22T10:05:00.000Z

So it's back to the boardroom with our favourite business man "Sugar" as I like to call him because you know me and him get down like that so we skip all those formalities. The Apprentice is back on our televisions screens and its only the first episode and there's already bitchiness going on between the girls.

So the episode begins and we get introduced to this years contestants who give it all the talk with their "slick" cheesy lines that they rehearsed over a hundred times in the mirror to hopefully come across as worthy to work with "Lord Sugar"

Oh look it's "The Master Puppet-tier"

Heres a few of those crap lines they put out...

"They call me the master puppet-tier because I have a habit of pulling peoples strings and getting them to do what I want?" (*rolls eyes*)
"I can be like an animal and I will literally roar my way to the top" (maybe she should have literally roared it would have been more effective)
"When it comes to business, I'm like a shark. I'm right at the top of the food chain" (How original) ...I truly am the reflection of perfection (really?)

So the task was to use a blank canvas of any sort, put a design on it and sell it. I can honestly say "The Apprentice" is the only show I feel you should be allowed to get an extension on your coursework for. I don't feel guilty for not revising when watching it because I feel like I'm learning about business and all this is pretty much what I'm doing for my degree. Anyway back to the show. So the girls decided to print these very nice customisable animal designs on bags, t-shirts and puzzles for kids while the boys aimed at tourists with these awful designs of buses on bags and somehow they managed to win. So it was off to good ol' Bridge Cafe for the girls. (I bet they make a mean Full English)

The girls desperately trying to force bags on a shopkeeper.
She told you she doesn't like buying under pressure. LOL

The thing that fascinates me about contestants on "The Apprentice" every year is that the majority of them give the big talk about how they have done this, how they have done that. But with all these accolades hardly any of them have any common sense. Which leaves most of us arguing with the TV screen screaming "You Idiot" The Apprentice to me is 40% business acumen 60% common sense which is usually the main reason a team fails...lack of common sense.

I couldn't help but laugh that the so called "Master Puppet-tier" tried to sell those crusty damaged bags to that lady to have her call him back and refund the money. Everyone knows if you're selling something dodgy, after you sell it...RUN!!! (Guess those so called puppet strings were as dodgy as them bags)

Catch "The Apprentice" on BBC1, Wednesdays at 9pm
or on BBC iPlayer if you're avoiding paying your TV licence this year.

THE WALKING DEAD: SEASON 2 FINALE

2012-03-20T16:52:00.000Z

Before you read this please make sure you have watched the final episode of Season 2's "The Walking Dead" as it will contain *SPOILERS* if you continue reading and complain after it's your own damn fault.

First of all I want to open by saying O.M.G. what a great season finale it was. From the get go it was like a warzone how they were all ambushed and surrounded by that horde of Zombies. With a few unexpected deaths that to be honest I didn't mind seeing these characters die off as I really didn't care to much for them. Like the guy who got eaten on the bus. I don't even remember his name so that just shows how much I valued his existence and Patricia getting eaten while Beth refused to let go of her hand. Yes it was a sad moment but still I felt it was OK for her character to die. It was absolute chaos from the barn burning to the ground and people getting left behind to fend for themselves.

At one point I thought Carol was going be killed off (the woman with the shaved head if you're wondering)...I still don't know why she is alive. OK so she suffered from domestic violence and her only daughter Sophia was killed and turned into a zombie but she bores me. On the other hand Andrea used to annoy the "Frack" outta me she got so annoying I wish they would have cut her character at the end of Season 1. But I'm glad they kept her character around now and I like how they have evolved her from this whimpering damsel in distress to this female heroine carrying guns and killing zombies like its going out of style. I was so impressed how she was able to survive all by herself. *Claps* (Look how attached I am to these characters you would have thought this was real life...oh well)

But what excited me the most about the season finale was the appearance of this new character. >>>>>>>>

I don't know who the hell this is (so I'm calling him/her "The Hooded Samurai") With the hood up hiding their face, the samurai sword and the 2 Zombies being dragged by chains like walker dogs which completed the look I was like Gok Wan after a fashion fix and Joan Rivers on Fashion Police *snaps fingers* I got so excited seeing this character asking "Who Is This Man or Woman?" Everything about this character excited me and didn't want me to believe the season was ending and I wanted Season 3 to being straight after this episode. I hope they never reveal the face of "The Hooded Samurai" till waay later, it will keep that mystery the show needs. I just want them to slay zombies so stylishly and never say a word.

FRAAAAAACCCKKK I CANT WAAAAIIIITTT!!!

So what did you think about the Season 2 finale of The Walking Dead?

Are you as excited about Season 3?

What do you make of "The Hooded Samurai?"

It sucks that its over and we'll probably have to wait till sometime in October

for it to return to our screens.

COMMUNITY

2012-03-13T18:19:00.001Z

So my new favourite show I discovered while browsing through YouTube on a miserable Sunday afternoon is the one and only "Community" While listening to the music of "Donald Glover" aka "Childish Gambino" the recommended pages lead me to a 30 second clip from the show in which Donald Glover (The black guy) stars.

What The Frack Is...COMMUNITY?

Community is a show based around 7 characters a group of misfits brought together by a Spanish class which they all share, Which is taught ironically by a Chinese man played by comedian "Ken Jeong" (The hilarious Asian guy from the "Hangover" movies) who brings all that humour to this show.
The self proclaimed misfits from left to right include...

Abed - (my favourite character) he is weird and wonderful who refers to life situations by comparing them to movies and tv shows.

Britta - an atheist human rights activist who wants the world to be a better place that the group find so overbearing.

Jeff - an ex lawyer who was fired from his job, who cares solely about his hair and his abs, the father of the group who restores order when it gets out of control.

Shirley - a devote Christian mother of two who caught her husband having an affair that always looks on the brighter side of life with a stereotypical sassy black woman attitude.

Annie - the smarty ass of the group that was destined for greatness but due to her drug abuse and time in rehab was unable to get into a good college also the most likely to be taken advantage of.

Troy - an ex jock who spends most of his time being emotional with no clue what goes on around him and best friend to Abed

Pierce - an old man (played by Chevy Chase from the "National Lampoon" franchise) who doesn't understand how out of touch he is with society, making fun of peoples races and ethnicities. He still thinks Troy is Shirley's son because their both black.

Check out the trailer for the first season of "Community"

I can admit the Pilot for the show wasn't the best but but believe me when I say stay with it because it only gets better I promise. "The Paintball episode" has to be one of the many highlights for the first season among many others. I am so hooked on this show that I've been watching episodes continuously back to back to catch up to the 3rd season it's currently in. If you like shows such as "30 Rock", "Parks and Rec" or "The Big Bang Theory" you will love this.

With the witty and clever humour combined with some great slapstick moments "Community" is an underdog show, DEFINITELY ONE TO WATCH and take notice of.

Class is in session so catch "Community" on NBC or

Online like me if you do not live in the US or own a TV

THE PAULY D PROJECT

2012-03-06T17:44:00.001Z

Well guess who's getting their own spin-off show...

DJ - PAULY D

So Pauly D is the first from the Jersey Shore cast to get his own spin off show which will follow him as he travels and lives his life living in Las Vegas. He's got a band of boys with him which we hope will be interesting to watch. So considering there is a spin off, is Jersey Shore over?

Take a look at the trailer for his new show..."The Pauly D Project"

I'm not to hyped and excited about this to be honest as I dunno if Pauly D can personally carry a whole show by himself but only time will tell. However it would be nice to have a few appearances from the Jersey Shore cast and was anyone expecting Vinny to be part of this...oh well.

Well what do you think? Will you be watching?

Catch "The Pauly D Project" Premier on 29th March 2012.
