Eagle vs. Shark

This is the most funniest film i have seen in ages, that i have seen it twice now in the past 4 days! 
This sort of movie is the best to watch with a group of you as it is just a laugh out loud film.


It is about a really geeky girl who is in love with this really geek man, and they finally end up going out. Jarrod goes back to his home town to fight his high school nemesis and Lily ends up going with him.


I really didn't think that i would like this film as Julia described it as like flight of the concordes... and i hadn't really given my time to watch that film.. and normally don't really like "stupid" films. But this one is just sooo funny. 


The characters are really well thought out, cause this could of went drastically wrong, as most of the humor is in the way the way they react and their emotions. Jarrod really doesn't have to do anything but just stand there, and you will instantly just laugh cause he is just so cringing. Also the use of using the "new zealand accent" in the most funniest way possible, you are just in constant stitches laughing at the way they say words. 


Also i feel the plot line is also really good, as you never expected them to break up in the middle. Then when she couldn't get home it was really nice to see her build a relationship with Jarrods dad and his other relations. This also made Jarrod and his dads relationship stronger too, as he was not keen on Lilly at the start but by the end she was his almost like his best friend as he opened up about how his son died. I think this was a nice touch on the story as this could of easily been left out with it being a comedy. But it was great to see more emotion in it. 


There was just so many funny scenes in the film - when he is "training" to fight his high school nemesis, all the family are sitting in the garden watching him, and he is getting sticks chucked at him, and jumping through hoops. And it is just a poor attempt really at training but takes it so seriously. There is just some brilliant scenes where you are in stitches cause he is just a massive geek and just so cringe worthy!


I thought the ending was hilarious though, as he put himself through all this "training" and building up to the fight, and when he and all his friends finally got there, he ended up finding his high school bully was in a wheel chair. But you would think he would just walk away then, but no - he does start to fight him. This was such a funny scene as you could just imagine them rolling about on the floor trying to attack each other.


Overall i thought the film was brilliant - so funny and just a good movie to watch with all your friends on a night in :)

The Wizzard Of Oz

Out of the five films that we watched and decided to pick the most fun and could say most creative out of them all.. The Wizzard Of Oz.

I just love this movie as it is just a feel good family movie. What makes it so original is the "fantasy vs. real life" with the like of using lions and scarecrows for characters instead of using real life characters in it. The only human actually playing a main part in the film is of course Dorothy, and i feel this makes her character stand out more as she is the only human and the other characters are just fantasy.

Also i feel it is really interesting in the fact that it goes from being in black and white to being in colour when she goes into in the land of Oz. This makes the whole idea of her going into this fantasy land much more magical with all the colours that are used. It also gives the impression of being old fashioned when she is in Kansas, as when she is in Oz it feels much more modernized with the bright colours. 

The "Yellow Brick Road" is obviously a main part in the journey they take as they have to follow it to get to the Emerald City. I feel its almost a conflict in the film as they have to stick to that path even though they come across danger when taking it.

I feel this film is fun and exciting, even if it is cheesy, you can't admit it isn't a good film. The music in it is recognised everywhere, and you just can't help but sing a long. Musicals are one one of my favorite genre of films to watch, and this one is one of the best i have seen.

Halloween 2

Well Halloween 2 has made it official... I am NEVER ever going to see a horror film again in the cinema ever! Me, Meg and Julia were scared all the way through jumping at ever little thing. The film scared us so much that we screamed when Julia went to reach for the door and the hand dryer went off in the toilets!
The film was about this girls brother that was a serial killer who got caught but then escaped and started killing everyone again. I thought it was a pretty bad movie but had the entertainment factor of being scary. It wasn't psychological at all but just very very gory.
I don't think it had a very good plot line because even though there was family issues behind all the killings, he was just really killing everyone that came into his sight.
Even though the plot line was ridiculously bad, it was quite entertaining because of the fear factor and how i had to keep hiding behind my hands when he killed anyone as it was done as disgusting as they could make it.
But the worst thing that actually happened was before the whole thing even started.. Sam text me saying "Watch out for the man behind you" and as soon he text me, a man sat behind me! So i sat there frightened for the whole film someone was going to pull out a chainsaw behind me and kill me. But it never happened, so am okay guys! :)
Anyways, back to the movie.. I felt it lacked in so many areas, but I did find one of the last scenes interesting.. It was when the girl came out of the shed and she kneeled on her knees. I thought this was a very beautiful scene for a film that lacked everything before this scene.
I would recomend it to people if they wanted to go see a film that they were not bothered with the plot line, but just going for the entertainment factor.

48 Hours Of Television...

Well... i did kept notes on my tv watching from Sunday Night to Tuesday Night... As i knew i would not be watching tv over the weekend.
And to be honest.. I never realised how much RUBBISH I actually watched!!
I watched The Hangover (a movie) on dvd on Sunday night but never watched any tv.
Was ill on monday so ended up just sleeping all day, but when i was awake I ended up watching a little bit of Loose Women which is always fun to watch when having your lunch :) I fell asleep more after that and ended up waking up and going on my laptop to do some blogging etc. I always switch my tv on when I come in to my room (I am watching you have been framed now!). I had on a few episodes of Jeremy Kyle, Dragons Den and just useless programs like that not even half watching them. I watched a few episodes of friends after that also.
I also always watch the tv when am in bed and ALWAYS have it put to sleep (Dont think I can actually get to sleep without putting my tv on! ha!) I decided to start watching Flashforward on Five Demand because i had been putting off watching it for ages, and i can tell you its AMAZING... so i had to watch another episode after that, but was gutted cause it started buffering on me and had to switch it off. So ended up just watching scrubs etc. until I was asleep.
On Tuesday I ended up going to the cinema to see Zombieland which was a very good film I must say. I never watched much tv as when we came back to halls as we sat in the kitchen for faaaaaaaar too long and then I had a 2 and a half hour phone call.. So not much was done that night! But I did have the tv on when I was on the phone and sort of watched the f word and the documentary that was after it. I then finally came off the phone and managed to sneak in another episode of Flashforward before I went to sleep.
I never actually realised how much i had my tv on before i wrote this diary. Even if i am not actually watching the tv and on the laptop I have to have my television on the whole time.
So i really dont think I would be able to live without television!!!!

The Hangover

Was dying to see this in the cinema but never got the chance and then completely forgot. Then last night I was going to be brave and watch Friday the 13th (even after my dramatic experience in the cinema watching Halloween 2 =|) until someone pulled out the hangover! So without anyone getting a chance to even think about which one they wanted to watch i grabbed it and put it in the dvd player!
So i sat down with my yogurt so excited to watch the hangover. And overall i LOVED it. I think its even better than Couples Retreat!
It was about 4 guys going to Las Vagas for a stag night. But one of them thought they would have a better night if they took ecstasy so dropped some in their drink without them knowing! But without realising he actually bought a date rape drug so when they woke up in the morning they knew nothing from the night before. The film follows 3 of the guys re-tracking their footprints of the night before trying to find the groom that was supposed to be getting married in 24 hours as they lost him and had no idea where he was.
I loved all their reactions of the things they got up to when one of the men found out they married a stripper, or when they stole a tiger from Mike Tyson and was in their bathroom in the morning. It was good how you were practically in suspense the whole time as you just wanted to find out what other crazy things happened.. and you felt like you were finding out at the exact same time as the characters were finding out cause you were just as anxious to find out as they were. As you had no idea what had happened the night before either as you never saw any of it.
It was just a really funny film to watch when i just wanted to kick back and relax and am glad i watched this instead of friday the 13th.. as at least i got to sleep afterwards instead of thinking a man was going to come into my room with a knife and kill me ha!
My favorite character had to be the brides brother as he did have the best lines and was just hilarious some of the things he came out with. The guys in the room found it really funny and were all crying with laughter throughout the film which just made me laugh even more! There was so many one line gags in it that you were laughing constantly.
I really recommend watching this as you will laugh a lot, especially when there is a group of you!
