My Eighth Blog: The Rocky Film Franchise

Posted 08-21-2009 at 08:23 AM by AlexFili
I've been watching lots of Rocky films recently, as I bought a boxset of all 6 films. So far I've seen the first five and can say that I'm quite pleased with how the films have turned out.

I suppose Rocky III might be a highlight for me, since it contained Mr.T and the superb "Eye of the Tiger" song.

I think the part I didn't like most was probably the first part of Rocky I. But even so, it's a classic movie and it's hard not to smile whenever you hear the "Gonna Fly...

My Seventh Blog: Wii Sports Resort

Posted 07-25-2009 at 02:38 PM by AlexFili
Personally I love it and will definately play it whenever someone comes over.

My personal favorite 3;
Swordplay - I love dueling and the showdown modes.
Bowling - It's so fun to play with mates.
Golf - The putting has improved a lot since the last game.

Things that surprised me;
Skydiving is really fun! I like it a lot! Archery is awesome too!

My least favorite 3;
Cycling - It's not great, a bit lame really.
Table...

My Sixth Blog: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Posted 07-21-2009 at 11:11 AM by AlexFili
I saw the film today and really enjoyed it. The quidditch and fight scenes really set it apart from anything that had been shown before. The Snape/Draco scenes were very well filmed and the love story made perfect sense (especially if you've read the books).

The ending is almost word for word from the book and it's one of the best films yet.

I give it a 9/10. I honestly could hardly offer as to what could have made it a better film. Probably the best HP film yet. It's...

My Fifth Blog! Watched "Alien" again!

Damn good film. The chestburster scene and the bit at the end with the Alien in the shuttle were great.

I'd give Alien a 8/10. It's a good film with a great cast and excellent filmwork, given that this is way before CGI.

Aliens gets a 9/10 for me, simply because it's an amazing sequel that breaks all the boundaries of the first film. We have soldiers, an Alien queen, a giant robot... it's just epic in every way

Alien 3 would get a 7/10 for me. The energy...

My Third Blog! Derren Brown's Enigma Tour & Iron Man

Posted 05-02-2009 at 02:13 PM by AlexFili
I went to see Derren Brown today in the Lowry Outlet Mall in Salford, Manchester.

Very interesting show overall, definately had plenty of WTF and "how did he do that?" moments.

By the end of it you'll be sure of the meaning of the name "Enigma"

I saw Iron Man last night. Definately very good as far as a hero film goes. I especially liked the technical prowess of the whole film. Especially when he was getting suited up

I like the plot-twist...

My Second Blog: P!nk in concert & University Woes!

Posted 04-29-2009 at 03:35 PM by AlexFili
I know it's been a while since my last post, and it'll be a while before my next one. So I apologize.

P!nk was really awesome tonight, she was strugging her stuff like nobody's business. She did some really awesome covers as well, she did a Gnarles Barkley - Crazy cover... and probably one of the most epic covers I've heard;

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody Very very awesome.

She played all of her best songs as well; Pill, Started, So What, Sober, Funhouse,...

My First Blog: Student Life & Fanfics

Posted 03-19-2009 at 07:42 AM by AlexFili
Ah my first blog... where to begin.

Well I joined here about a month ago after buying Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath along with a Microsoft Xbox. Completed MO, almost finished SW.

I really like the 3D graphics, and MO definitely feels like AE 3D. I like possessing Sligs, the taunting is quite funny.

As for other games, I've been playing Patapon 2 on my PSP, completing AE on my PSP (100% rescues), trying out Wii Fit, making a Slig race on Spore....
