Inglourious Basterds: An extremely short review

First off apologies for my lack of activity over the last couple of weeks, things are rather hectic at the moment and I am struggling to find the time to put any thoughts down in a post.

Things should be back to normal in about 2 weeks and so I should be able to resume semi-regular postings then.

In the mean time I thought I would throw down a very quick review of Inglorious Basterds. So lets keep it short and to the point…

The Basterd!

To start with let me say I am a massive Tarantino fan. I really like most of the stuff he has done and this was no exception. The film is AMAZING. The pacing, direction and acting is all excellent and the film delivers laughs a minute while keeping you engaged and on the edge of your seat. A bit of a warning for those that are not strong of stomach, the film has a fair amount of extreme violence.

In my opinion this has been his best film since Pulp Fiction. I strongly recommend everyone see it, now… GO!

5 reasons you should go see the new Star Trek film

5. It has several Australian actors in it. Eric Banner is reppin’ as the bad dude. Also some punk who my girlfriend informed me used to be on Home and Away or something as Kirk’s dad.

4. It’s pretty. By anyones standards this latest Star Trek film looks “the shit.” Its polished without looking overly clean.

3. It has mainstream appeal while maintaining its dignity. What this film does that few of the previous films have is appeal to the majority. It is action packed and fast paced, and yet it manages to do this while maintaining the true essence, the Katra as it were, of the Star Trek series.

2. Everyone else will have seen it and be talking about it. You dont want to be the only loser with no idea do you?

1. Its fucking AWESOME!!! Seriously, nothing more needs to be said… GO NOW!!!

5 Lessons from Top Gun

Bad, mother fucker...

While watching Top Gun today I realised that there are some great lessons to be learnt that can be applied to our everyday lives, so with out further delay I present my 5 lessons from Top Gun.

5. Singing “You’ve lost that lovin’ feeling” will get the girl…

4. Pilots in the navy spend 20% of their time flying (working), 10% of their time drinking, 10% of their time singing, 10% sleeping and 50% of their time with no shirts on posing and pouting at one another. We should distribute our time similarly.
Who's a pretty boy then?
3. If they’re getting close, you’re getting a hard on.
Zoom zooooooom!
2. Its okay to gloat… Fly by’s make you look like a fucking legend.
Look at this bad mother fucker!
1. Everyone needs a wingman!
