FILMS FOR AUTUMN/WINTER!

Helloooo again my blog friends!

Okay so today I thought I would speak to you about films, because everybody loves a good film. And I was thinking, that instead of reviewing a film that most of you have probably already seen and already made up your mind about whether or not you thought it was AMAZING or POOPY, I am going to be telling you about all the films you can be expecting to see this winter in the cinema.

Now I don't know if other people have realized this, but the majority of the films that come out are always better in autumn/winter. Like last winter we had The Hobbit, The Dark Knight Rises, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Taken 2, Skyfall and many, many more. This winter/autumn for the cinema looks absolutely brilliant! One of the many films I am dying to see is The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug, now if you haven't seen the first one then I don't recommend seeing the second one until you've seen the first one, as like with the lord of the rings film, they are essentially parts of one very long film. Unlike Harry Potter where you could easily watch the Philosophers Stone then watch The Order of the Phoenix and still vaguely gather whats going on. I loved The Hobbit so much, it was defiantly one of my favorite films of last year. I would even say that I prefer it to the lord of the rings, but shhh that's our secret ;). I liked the film because it sort of made the book seem even more bigger and grander as the book is actually aimed at children, therefore why it is a little dull and not that exciting. However the film is just truly amazing and if you loved lord of the rings you just have to see the hobbit. Now the 'Desolation Of Smaug' is the pen-ultimate movie of the Hobbit trilogy and it looks bloody good. I think this part will be full of many different characters and more adventures as the trailer is absolutely jam-packed with action sequences and characters that no one can tell who they are. And in this film we finally get the chance to see Smaug! The fire breathing dragon that has destroyed the settlement of the Dwarves and taken all of its wealth. If you have been living under a rock for the past forever, I will leave a link down below so you can fully understand what I am rambling on about ;). 

The next movie I am extremely excited for is...i can barely contain myself just thinking about it. THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE!!! I am literally buzzing inside just thinking about it. Oh my gosh it looks amazing. I am a huge fan of the hunger games trilogy and have read the books about 7 times each, which is pretty impressive if you ask me, leave me a comment if you've gone any higher ;). I will just throw this in there, i was recently in a drama class and the hunger games managed to pop up into our conversation. And one of the girls I was speaking to said the three-finger type sign that Katniss does when Rue dies originated from district 8.

However I know for a fact that it originated from district 12, because it says it in the first book and all of the children at the reaping do this when Katniss volunteers for the games. Anyways, gone of on a slight tangent here. Catching Fire looks brilliant. I have watched the trailer so many times and every time feels like the first. I honestly cannot hype this film up enough, I cannot wait. For a quick summary of the book basically, Katniss and peeta have won the hunger games and are now preparing themselves to embark on the victory tour which is a tour of all the district that the victor (or victors) have to take. However president snow has warned katniss that she needs to make out that she was so madly in love with peeta that the thought of not being with him was unbearable, and that it wasn't an act of defiance. (Without giving away anything to important) katniss finish the tour. then the reaping for the 3rd quarter quell is happening and there is a very shocking twist to who gets reaped. This time its the victors that are being put back into the games! Now that was only a very brief description of catching fire and almost defiantly didn't do it any justice at all. However you absolutely have to go see the first hunger games as it is incredible. (i'll also leave a link for the catching fire trailer if you haven't seen it)

The final film I am going to be talking...or typing about is THOR: THE DARK WORLD!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THOR. Anyone who knows me knows that I am the biggest marvel fan that has ever graced the earth. My background on everything is marvel. Now I completely love The Marvel Cinematic Universe, I think it is truly amazing, however I felt that the first Thor movie was a bit of a let down compared to its other films. Don't get me wrong I still thought it was great, just not as good as the rest? I don't know however, I did enjoy watching it. But I cannot comprehend how amazing Thor: The Dark World looks. It looks so mysterious and complex, which is everything I love about superhero movies. I also love the seemingly deeper involvement of Jane Foster in Asgard. I think by the trailer she actually goes there?! Which is CRAZY. It also looks a lot more impressive than the previous Thor movie, on terms of production. it looks a lot bigger and more 'epic' if you will. The first Thor movie had a budget of $150 million whereas Thor 2 has a budget of (roughly) $200 million which is an obvious increase, so we can be expect great thing from this film in terms of production and cgi etc. But overall the trailer looks amazing, and it is great to see our old friend or shall we say foe Loki return! Again for all the silly people who haven't seen the trailer i'll leave a link at the end.

Okay guys those are just a few of the films I am super excited for this autumn/winter, I hope you've enjoyed this blog post, if you did please give it a thumbs up or leave a comment down below because I would like to get to know some of the people reading my blog! Also If any of you have anything you would like me to review or talk about just leave a comment telling me and I almost defiantly will.

Thank you for reading and check back soon for a new post. Byeeee!

MILEY CYRUS WRECKING BALL

Salut!

Okay i'm not french. Don't know whether that was obvious or not. Oh and I don't speak french either, although I have picked it for a GCSE so i should be good, but i'm really not. Okay I've gone of on a complete tangent now. Focus Nik, focus. 

Miley Cyrus - Wrecking ball. Hmm...where to begin. Well, I think it's only fair to start with the song itself. Now personally I don't think the song is that bad :/. I know it's Miley Cyrus so that should be enough to make you not like it but the piano riff at the start is just so infectious! And the licks (Oh irony) in her voice on the first verse are absolutely brilliant. It's very different to her dull repetitive 'We Can't Stop'. It's a song about a relationship that has broken down, and Miley is basically stating that it is her fault. The lyrics are clever with the references to the 'wrecking ball', but are still very basic and 'pop-esque' if you will. Although throughout the song it is very hard to understand what Miley is actually saying. However the actual 'sound' of the song is decent. It' a brilliant song for easy listening and just a random on the spur moment. it's a lot better than any of Miley's previous works. I think Hannah Montana would be impressed. 

Okay...now on to the bit that everyone actually cares about. *Sighs* The music video. I literally have no idea where to start. I guess the first shot we see. Miley is just standing against a white background, and the camera is zoomed in onto her face. She is crying which you can tell is very staged and makes me feel uncomfortable? I don't know if anyone else experienced this. And i'm sorry but all I can look at is the saliva in her mouth. It's very distracting. The video then goes to Miley in a room with 3 walls. It's rather odd how she is jut walking around with a hammer, which instead of using for hammering, she seems to think it is a mans genitalia and starts licking it, which also makes me feel uncomfortable  because I can't tell whether I like it or not. Anyways, as the chorus hits a huge wrecking ball swings in and smashes the wall. Which you would think is normal, but remember this is Miley so there has to be some sort of crazy, porn twist on it. Miley then appears on the ball but-naked! Which is rather, shall we say...odd? Miley then seems to have no bra on as you can see her nipples right through the 'top' (which is more like a very loose-fitting piece of clothe) she is wearing. Her attire is very similar to the one she wore in the 'We Can't Stop' video. I just want to know how Miley managed to find a wrecking ball, then sit on it naked and swing freely. The video is basically the same shots, swinging naked on a ball, sucking the soul out of a hammer, writhing in a pile of rubble and a few 'tears' (eyedrops) fall from her eyes. 

If i'm honest I don't really know what I think of the music video as it is a simple and basic concept  which is unique and clever, but apart from the wrecking ball and the lyric 'All I wanted was to break your walls' there is no connection to the song. Its a decent video, but not for the song. She could of made it classy and made the video represent the music more than her incredibly toned stomach. I think Miley's videos are more to promote herself rather than the music, which is sad really because you think she would want to focus peoples attention on the music. However this video just puts the spotlight on her. BUT one great thing about the video is that...THERE'S NOT ONE 'TWERK' FROM MILEY IN SIGHT!!! PRAISE DA LORD.

Overall I think the video is very weak for the song and doesn't really justify it. I rate it two Niks out of five.
(As this is my first blog post you may wonder what 'Niks' are. They are just my own little rendition of stars haha ;)

I'll leave a link below if you want to be made feel confused, aroused, uncomfortable and even more so uncomfortable!

Have a nice day or night or whatever time period it is wherever you are.
GUUUUDBYE :)

Hello!

Hello everyone.

...well I say everyone probably, about two people are going to read this (and those to people of course will be my mum and my sister;). However if you do manage to stumble across my blog, Hello!

I set this blog up because I thought that I didn't really have anything to put my time and effort into as I am a fairly lazy and procrastinate as much as I can. I didn't really know what to write about on this blog, but I decided that it would just be a general mish-mash of things that I feel the need to rant on about haha.

This is just a little introduction to my blog, so I hope you enjoy it :).
