StreetDance 3D: A Review.

Visually impressive? Check. Minorities speaking in broken English? Check. Plot devoid of originality? Check! No, it's not Avatar, (well it could be,just not on this occasion) it's Streetdance 3D, the latest film to jump on the street dancing bandwagon (See: Step Up, Step Up 2: The Streets) except unlike the others, this is set on the mean streets of London. And by mean streets, I mean a fancy ballet academy. Streetdance is a gritty, dramatic and realistic social commentary in which two groups of youths from contrasting upbringings must put their differences aside in order to win the most hallowed and prestigious UK Street Dance Final. Serious shit, I know!

Movie Madness update.

A long overdue update of the films I've seen from this list.

• All the Rockys
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
• The first 3 Rambos
• Fargo
• Independence Day
• Trainspotting
• Dawn of The Dead (2005)
• Casino
• North By Northwest
  

Pathetic I know, and I've spent far too many nights doing nothing or watching forgettable movie. As I will more than likely be living alone this coming college year, I'll get loads of time to watch the rest of the movies on the list.

Laugh Out Loud at Anseo 2: Electric Boogaloo.

My stand up comedy appearance at Anseo on Camden St. Dublin on June 29th.

Om Nom Nom!!

Movie List update!

Firstly, apologies for the inconsistency of posts. I've been really busy with my comedy. On which, thanks to anyone who showed up for any of my gigs! :)

Anyhoo, quick update on my movie challenge. For those who didn't see my original post on the the topic click here.

So in the last month and a bit I've seen:

• Rambo: First Blood
• First Blood Part 2
• Rambo 3
• Rocky
• Rocky 2
• Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
• Trainspotting
• Dawn of The Dead (2005)
• Independence Day (well enough of it to know not to trust mid-1990's Macs)
I get the feeling I'm missing some.

I'm quite happy, as that works out at about one movie a week. That average may drop in the coming weeks with study and what not, but once May hits, it'll be 3 a week hopefully.

I've also seen Watchmen (twice as of this posting) and Benjamin Button. Watchmen, I will review soon, just waiting for more people to see it so I can spoil it for as little people as possible. Regardless, it is the best film I've ever seen, and if you haven't read the comic, and you can, READ IT FIRST. It is the greatest comic ever written!

Film Review: Attack Girls Swim Team Vs. The Unliving Dead

Where to begin eh?

Well it's a Japanese zombie movie set in a large girls school, (the school is large, not a school for larger girls), which appears to have around ten students and three teachers. As the title suggests the film involves the school swim team and newcomer to the school, Aki. When the students and teachers are injected with what they think is an vaccine shot, they turn into slightly-more-intelligent-than-run-of-the-mill zombies.
It is then up to Aki and her team mates to rid the school of the zombies. Oh yeah, one more thing, there is a LOT of schoolgirl boobage! A lot! Now to that add some weird hypno-sex and lesbian sex scene and you've got yourself one of the best 'so bad it's awesome' horror films, in my opinion. This is a real WTFlipFlop?? movie, that just gets more ridiculous with every minute, with the climax to the final battle leaving me in a state of stunned silence. So if you like cheesy zombie flicks, an unhealthy use of fake blood, bad prosthetics and have a fetish for Asian schoolgirls, well my friend, this is the movie for you!
