Question

What do you do when you work right next to the loop, but you are left out of it??

Film Review

I was very excited about this film as it contained two of my favourite American comedy actors. Regular blog readers will know that if my writings begin like that, it is not normally good news...I was bitterly disappointed. It was all very predictable and not really as funny as it had been advertised. As usual in these situations, most of the amusing parts had been put in the advert. There were some good cameo parts and a broad cast, but Jack Black's performance disappointed me. Michael Cera's dry humour held the film together and it would have been even more of a disaster without him. It was very 'life of brian' at some parts, and just not very orginal in humour.

Another prequel to mess with my brain! I had already seen this film, but it was the day after I got back from Africa, and I snoozed through it! This was no reflection on the film, just my exhaustion!

I really enjoyed this film, I have never really been a big 'trekkie/trekker' (depending on where you stand on the deserved name!), but I was able to understand what was going on. The casting was brilliant, their choice on younger versions of each character was very well done. There were a few cameos that had me stumped and I had to go and look them up once I got home. Hurrah for imdb!

This film could be enjoyed even with no background knowledge of the original TV series at all, but I think it would help. Looking around the cinema screen during both visits there were some keen enthusiasts who were clearly very happy about this new film.

I am not big on 'machine' films, but seeing as I had seen the first three of these, I couldn't not see the prequel. Films of this nature always hurt my brain as I struggle to follow the 'knock-on effect' events prequel have!! The effects in this film were amazing, the production has come a long way since the first film in 1984. Who can believe it is 25 years later!!!!

If you are a fan of the series and like action, then go and see this film. A certain someone even makes a CGI appearance!

I am still here!!

It has been far too long since I have blogged! I need to do some writings around my trip to Africa and post it on here. I am going away for a week and hope to get that done at some point then.

Life is so busy for me at the moment and I feel that things are passing me by at times. One of the things I am working hard on is getting together the 18-35 (ish) age group at my church. This '20s-30s' group has been getting together on Sundays for about two years now, but I decided to re-brand it and give it a name so I didn't limit the age! I am quite proud of the flyer I produced, and thought I would put it on here!

Songs to take me back...

Amazing gig and quality time with Amanda. :-)
