Angry Birds


When I heard about this movie I was like no way. How stupid could this movie be? Not meaning to sound at all passive aggressive but I thought the concept of making a movie about birds flying into pig built structures was dumb.

Then I saw the teaser trailer this morning and I laughed, yes LAUGHED! It follows the story of down and out Red (Jason Sudeikis), the female birds pay no attention to him, he's woken up by a kid hitting his ball off his house, yes I've been there and I admit it I wanted to kick the kid into the ocean too.

Then we are introduced to Chuck (Josh Gad) and his million yoga type poses including downward duck which gets a yuck reaction from Red. Bomb (Danny McBride) tells Red that when he gets upset he has a tendency to blow up and does so during a surprise party. We are then introduced to Leonard the Pig (Bill Hader) and his comical stairs. Then its back it Red who looks like he's about to blow.

Definitely looks good and a much better premise than I thought it would be. Maybe my gut was right but I'm going to give it a chance because it looks really funny and has a great comedic cast.

Check out the trailer below, Angry Birds will be with us in Summer 2016.

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Dementors

                                                                                                      Image Source Dementors have haunted me ever since I read The Prisoner of Azkaban way back in 1999. I was a Pre-Teen who was pretty much unaware of the depression that was just around the corner, in a way this book prepared me for what was to come, and after multiple reads, it became my go-to reference when explaining my depression. First off let's give a brief outline of Dementors, these magical wraith-like creatures can generally be found guarding Azkaban Prison, sucking the happiness, hope, and peace out of everyone around them. If you have had a horrible life marked by loss and abuse (just like Harry) you are much more affected by them than someone who has not, as they also cause depression and despair in there victims. They can sense and taste fear, but thankfully they can't seem to tell people of the same build from each other, and they are able to communicate wit

Jessica Jones Episodes 1-2

                                                                          [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] Jessica Jones launched this Friday and after a weekend of mostly binge watching I decided it was time to talk about it. I really enjoyed this show and will be giving my opinion on the first two episodes below. SPOILER warning for those who haven't watch any of these episodes as I will be analysing each episode. A.K.A Ladies Night                                                                           [Courtesy of Marvel/Netflix] So in the first episode Jessica (Krysten Ritter) is a loner, she stays from people as they just cause complications. We get a sense that she has done something, something dark, but we don't quite know what it could be. The day starts with an argument with a client who she throws through her door, she then narrates her typical New York day, and she ends it by spying on Luke Cage (Mike Colter). She wakes up in her apartment to find Malcolm

Thanksgiving

                                                                                      [Courtesy of Fox] So I'm Scottish and we don't get the whole Thanksgiving thing, but I have watched a lot of movies and television which give the rest of the world a nice little insight into this holiday. So you have time off work, you're not taking part in those crazy sales (which have also became a tradition over here, thanks), and you're stuffed from eating your weight in delicious foods. What do you watch? Harry Potter                                                                  [Courtesy of Warner Bros] So I don't know about you but nothing screams November more than our beloved Harry Potter, and there are eight movies for you to binge watch throughout the weekend. I just rewatched these and they hold up, you'll feel the magic, panic and feel relieved as the battle comes to a close. Witness Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), a poor orphan boy who lives in a cu
