Movie of the week

This weeks movie is back to the future an amazing gem from the 80's the basic story is that Marty Mcfly(Michael J Fox) and his mad scientist buddy Dr Emmet Brown (Christopher Lloyd)travel in rime in a time machine created by the doc he builds it into a Delorean car now aside from epic old 80's music and really awful fashion this is a great family film with well i suppose the acting was terrible but then it was the 80's and aside from getting very fed up of hearing the doc shout "great Scott" every five minutes it's still an awesome movie and i would suggest it to anyone I give this film a solid 7.5 out of 10

The amazing spiderman 2

Sadly I have news that annoys me in 2012 they made a new spider man film a re-imagining if you will staring Andrew Garfield (The social network, Doctor who) as Peter Parker now I'm not saying Garfield or any of the cast of the film are bad actors in fact some great actors are in the film Emma Stone (Stupid crazy love, Easy A) Martin Sheen (Apocalypse now, Catch me if you can) Rhys Ifans (51st State, The replacements) so the cast is good just badly written the characters I found to lack a certain depth and chemistry and I didn't like the lizard in this film it's not that the lizard was badly done he was exactly like the old cartoon version I used to watch but Kurt Connors being a bad guy annoyed me a bit but overall I found the whole film boring and disappointing and now thy are making a second one so not expecting a great film there but I could be wrong the bad guys in the second one are going to be Electro and the Rhino so can't wait to see how that goes Electro shall be fairly cool looking but the Rhino will be interesting to see so well have to wait and see what it's like it's set for release 2nd May 2014

Guest Post - When the Lights went out

When the lights went out is a British horror film, it is based (loosely I might add) upon a real life haunting in 70s Yorkshire and one that is considered to be the most violent in European history. The film stars Katy Ashfield(Shawn of the dead)

This film is just a British attempt at Paranormal Activity/The exorcist. As usual its not up to par with anything from Hollywood, and even the special effects could be better if it was actually made in the 70s. the acting was so so and the story happened far too quickly with gaping holes the size of continents. At least I wasn't let down by the fact that it was a bad British film, that's all we can make (discounting Harry Potter, cos they were epic).

I would say its worth a watch if you really are a paranormal buff, but otherwise give it a miss and watch something decent like poltergeist (there's a film that was done well)

The neXt box

Yes that's right the next generation Xbox has arrived and it looks as awesome as we thought it would be new graphics card making the graphics unbelievable and the voice control aspect has also been improved to be honest it's hard to find something they haven't improved well actually one thing is not good with the next Xbox and that's the backwards comparability for those who don't know what that is its the ability to play the old 360 on the new console they say you might be able to buy the old games on the xbox live

Kinect
So what are the features well aside from the amazing graphics the kinect has been improved not including the voice control which they are using siri technology but also a 1080p camera in the thing to improve the player detection allowing you to actually turn on your xbox vocally but also when you are exercising the thing will actually keep track of your pulse I know awesome right

Controller

The controller will look much the same same layout as before the idea was to just improve the only real difference is they have tweaked the vibration to improve it slightly but hey why mess with something that works

Console
Other than the new purpose built graphics card this monster of gaming offers a huge 500GB hard drive built in wifi an 8 core processor and is said to be able to handle 4 times more calculations per second it seems that these components were custom built to work well together include the custom made hard drive it also has 8GB of ram a blu ray drive and USB 3.0 making this an impressive machine

Games
sadly the games wont be backward compatibly as i said but they are saying they will be bringing out 12 games in the first year
assassins creed 4 black flag
battlefield 4
call of duty ghosts
destiny
fifa 14
forza motor sport 5
madden NFL 25
NBA live 14
quantum break
ryse
thief
ufc
watch dogs
and those are just the first years games

On line stuff
With built in wifi you'll be able to watch movies on line TV but also Skye will not be on the xbox so in sum up an impressive machine over all the price will apparently be £399

Silent Hill Revelation

So where to begin with this huge steaming pile of movie. I think I'll begin with the main bad point which was that in this film they seem to make a decision about the film then tried to fit it in to the film sadly they failed. Personally I think a five year old with severe brain damage could achieve it better if he was dead. For starters I have seen better acting in a school play in a nursery. Sean Beans really awful American accent or at least an attempt at one was rather off putting. If that wasn't bad enough then explaining how she is no longer dead or in a different dimension was less plausible as it was laughable. The whole cult trying to pull her back to silent hill was a ridiculous grasp at a storyline and the original makers of the game would probably want to hurt the person who wrote this I know I want to. the creature design was at best so so the only decent creature was the mannequin woman thing but hey not really a movie saver in my view and a little tip revelation requires there to actually be a revelation this film should have been called revolution because they have twisted the original film into something unrecognisable. So to sum up only watch it if you have a necessity to shoot yourself in the face this complete turd of a movie will make it less pain full to die.
