Country Strong

So I know I haven't updated in a while but here we go, I have just sat and watched the fab film Country Strong. Now I have always been a huge fan of country music and when I saw this I couldn't wait to see it even though it has had some bad reviews I am glad I don't listen to critics because I would have missed one hell of a film.
It is has a great storyline and some great songs, one of my favorites is Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester - Give in to me also Gwyneth Paltrow sings 'Coming home' and it is a awesome song
So check it out if you like a bit of country you will not be disappointed

Garrett Hedlund - HOTNESS and one amazing voice

Also If you like Gwyneth Paltrow in this film then check out another film she did a few years back called 'Duets' she sings some brill songs in this.

IT ALL ENDS

It is the time we have all been waiting for the last Harry Potter, but now it is here I wished we were starting back at the beginning because I can't believe it has finished.
I managed to get tickets on the open night and watched it in 3D and it was amazing, even though it is just over 2 hours long it doesn't seem that long as it is fast paced and full of action and I will admit I did shed a few tears at certain parts. I won't say too much because I don't want to ruin it for other people that have not seen it or read the books
I did manage to watch the 3D and 2D version yes I watched it two days in a row, I am a major geek :)
In my opinion the 2D version was much better but I am not a fan of 3D plus the rest were 2D so why break tradition.
If you haven't seen the last film check it out you will not be disappointed (only by the fact that it is the last one)
My rating 10/10

London Film and Comic Con July 2011

Saturday the 9th of July was an awesome day I will never forget, myself, my brother, Stacey and my great friend Nicola and her dad when to London's film and comic con. We got up super early to catch a train to get us there just in time for the doors to open. When we arrived there was a crazy queue full of fellow comic con geeks many dressed in amazing costumes. It didn't take long for us to get in and the fun began. I run straight to Karen Gillan booth and managed to get a low number ticket 623 (u need a ticket to get the main guest autographs) I knew that it wouldn't be until later in the day that I would need to go back and queue up to meet her so we headed off to see who else we could see. The first guest I found was Natalia Tena who plays Tonks in Harry Potter and she was amazing

Afterwards we had a good look around the stalls and I found some amazing bargains



Other fantastic guest I met were, Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum from Harry Potter) he is soooo HOT. Harry Melling (Dudley from Harry Potter, he looks so different from the films he was lovely I had a nice natter with him he thought I was Australian) and Devon Murray (Seamus from Harry Potter, he was really sweet and easy on the eye).

We did some more walking around and grabbed some food, then Stacey went for her K-9 photo shoot which was awesome and a little while later we managed to see Karen Gillan!!!! She was amazing I was so nervous I wasn't quite sure what to say to her but she was lovely. This comic con has been the best one yet, I am already saving for the next one, can't wait!!! lol

Transformer - Dark side of the moon

I finally been to the cinema and watched the new Transformers in 3D and it is awesome, it is action packed and has a great story line. Even with Megan Fox being replaced it doesn't really change anything, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has great charisma and chemistry with Shia LaBeouf. There are a few heart wrenching bits where Ironhide dies and Bumblebee is nearly executed but it all turns out well in the end. A must see if you love the previous Transformer films!

Bad teacher

So not long now till the London film and comic con and I am so excited to hopefully meet Karen Gillan and many other fab TV/movie stars. Hopefully there will be some more last minute guest announced next week (please please let it be Anthony Head).
Other then the film and comic con I haven't really got much planned over the next few weeks. However I did go to the cinema last night with my good friend to watch 'Bad teacher'.

It stars Cameron Diaz, she is just about to be married to a rich young snob and he ditches her and she is forced to go back to work as a teacher but she is the worst teacher as she only shows films and drinks alcohol in her lesson. As soon as she learns that the best teacher with the highest test scoring class wins a bonus and all she wants is the bonus to buy a new pair of boobs. So she stops at nothing to get her classes grades up to top standard to bag the bonus.

This is a great comedy there are a few cringe moments, but it is an all round good film. Plus it has the hotness Jason Segel how I wish I was Cameron Diaz at the end of this film.

Check back soon to find reviews on Transformers, Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Pt 2 and Bridesmaids

Dream a little dream

So lately I have been having a recurring dream it is strange because it is a place I am pretty sure I have never been to. I am wondering around a long street but it looks like an old market street with carts and stalls scattered along the street. It has cobble flooring and the weather is always dull nearing night time because it seems to get darker as the dream goes on. As I walk along on my left side there is always a few cafes with open front where all the food is laid out. I then go in to a library type building and then next thing I am walking back up the cobble street and all the places are closed but there is a elderly lady in front of me pushing a cart but I never see her face it is as if I am trying to catch up with her but I can't.
Then I wake up .........wonder what it could mean

An amazing 4 days in Disneyland paris

So on the 16th of July I set off on the Eurostar to Disneyland Paris. We arrived in Disney at 1.30pm and was amazed by the sights, not only the studio's the park and the amazing super sized stores.

We grabbed the shuttle bus and headed to the hotel which was a 2 minute journey to check in. We had read some bad reviews about the hotel but to be honest I don't understand how people could complain, the hotel was perfect, great location, nice clean spacious rooms, excellent helpful staff and amazing food.

CARS BED COVERS :) WOOP WOOP

We hit the Disney village first did a bit of shopping and checked out the area, we had an early dinner in Mickey's Cafe and it was awesome, the food was great and we got to meet some characters. Steven my brother and his fiance picked the best seats because whenever a character come in to the restaurant they stood and posed for a photo with them.

So after dinner we hit the shops again and I will admit I did buy an autograph book for all the characters to sign but hey it is Disney. After a few hours of looking around we hit the park and took a look around to get the feel for where everything was. It was nearly closing time so we headed back  to the hotel and planned out the next day.
Day two we got up mega early and grabbed breakfast which was an all you can eat buffet, and I did eat loads of croissants and pain eu chocolates they were Delicious.
The park opens early for hotel guest so we headed down at 8am and we began the rides. First we hit the star tours and it was basically a big shuttle simulator we engaged in a star fleet battle and it was excellent a real fun ride. Then we hit the phantom manor which had amazing special effects while on a roller coaster, we had a great time exploring frontierland and we came across Woody's roundup village where we meet Donald duck and got to seat on Bullseye from Toy story and pose with Stinky Pete

After that we headed off to the pirates of the Caribbean ride and pirates beach this was one of my favorite rides it was brilliantly done.

 

Myself and Steven hit the Indiana Jones ride while the others watched, this is also one of my favorite rides it is a mine car going fast through a temple with a loop and sudden drops.
We then hopped on the Disneyland railroad and took a train ride round the whole park. Then we hit a few smaller coasters in Fantasyland, Pinnocchio's fantastic journey, Peter Pan's flight, Snow White and the seven dwarfs and 'It's a small world'.
At 5pm we went and watched the Park Parade and it was spectacular, the floats and the costumes are just out of this world.

After the parade we went back to the hotel and had dinner it was a 3 course all you can eat, there must have been about 20 different dishes available and about 30 different desserts and I tried a bit of each. Once we finished dinner we went for a walk around our complex then onto the next complex of Hotel Cheyenne it was like a mini western village it was brilliant.

Day three we hit the park to finish a few rides we didn't get to do the day before like the carrousel de Lancelot and Dumbo the flying elephant

Next we hit the Studios and this was WOW the studios are amazing. Here we hit the studio tram tour which half way round broke down but it was good what we see of it. Then we went to the Armageddon Special effects simulator and the Hotel Terror Towers, now this is a scary ride you are basically in a elevator and strapped in chairs, you travel up 13 floors of different effects then you drop 13 floors and you go up and down at high speeds at one point my ass wasn't even in the seat I was in mid air, even though it is scary it is still a great ride and I got a great picture from the ride.

me on the left in the black jacket and yellow shirt hanging on to my brother for dear life :)

Rock n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith

 Now the Aerosmith ride as you can see above, my brother literally dragged me on this ride and I was panicking right up to the part where I sat in the Coaster, once it set off I was loving it, it is so fast and full of loops you just don't want it to end.
At the studio's there do a different parade then the one in the park it is Star's n Cars.

Here they did a autograph time and we got our books signed by a few characters :)

After the parade we headed straight for Crush's Coaster this we queued about an hour for and we thought it was going to be a gentle coaster through an aquarium type set with water, but it was nothing like that we set of in a four seater tub on tracks and went up a steep incline and was then spun, turned sidewards thrown side to side, I screamed my head off the whole time it was nothing like I thought it was going to be, but even though it scared the life out of me it was a fun ride.
We then we to meet the stars and we met Remy, Emile from Ratatoulie, Tac and Tic the chip n dales, goofy and minnie and Stitch.

We went back to the hotel about 6pm so we could rest and get ready for Buffalo Bill Wild West Show at 9.30pm. 9.30pm came and we went to the Buffalo Bill show there was had a lovely meal which was corn bread, Chilli Con Carne, Skillet and Potato wedges then Apple crumble with ice cream. The show it's self was breath taking I loved every second of it. Sadly we couldn't take any photo's because there was chance you could spook the horses and Buffalo but it will be a show I never forget. Plus we got a free cowboy hat :)



 Our last day we redid some of our favorite rides and we watched the studio parade again.
We did the studio tram tour again and we managed to complete the whole ride this time and it was great the effects were breath taking. We went into a canyon where we experienced a rain storm, earthquake, explosion and tidal wave. Then we went on and saw some sets and props from Dinotopia, Armageddon and Pearl Harbour.

Then sadly at 6pm we had to check in to the train station to make the journey home. I was sad to go because I had an amazing four days and didn't want it to end.
