Cinema!!

I actually rang my landlord and he came over last night to fix the heating =D So I'm hoping, no no, praying, that it gets warmer around here soon.

Anyways, back to the point of this post. I went to the cinema last night to enjoy the wonder that is, Orange Wednesdays.

Me and my friend we're sure what we wanted to see, but we wanted to take full advantage of Orange Wednesdays. So we went to the cinema, saying we'd pick a film once we got there, we chose The Men Who Stare At Goats.

It was very different, it wasn't your typical blockbuster. The genre was far less definable and the plot wasn't straight forward or even clear at times.

The Men Who Stare At Goats is about a secret Army team, who focus on using their psychic abilities to help win the war. Lyn Cassady, played by George Clooney, used to be a member of this psychic team, and is on a secret mission in Iraq when a reported.


Bob Wilton played by Ewan McGregor, is dragged into this odd story while he is trying to prove his manhood by reporting on the war after being dumped by his wife.


The film is very original and unique. It was enjoyable to watch and funny. If you like the unusual and quirky, it's most likely a film for you, but if your the kind of person who odd films are lost on, then it's best not to bother as it isn't the usual satisfying start, middle and end film.


Oooo, the other day or so my house mate found Hook for only £3, so we all sat down on the sofa and watched that. Hook was a great film then, and is still a great film now. The food fight scene mid film is great, the icing looks so damn yummy =) If you've seen it , you'll know what i mean, though it does look a little sickly, even to me, a self confessed chocoholic.



I also got round to watching Hocus Pocus last night, it wasn't as disappointing as Ferngully and was still enjoyable, as I predicted. It has a few bits in it that are more aimed at the adults and has quite a few funny bits. I wouldn't watch it often, but for £3 I cant complain, plus, it helps you get into the Halloween spirt =) Anyway, I'm off to get some uni work done, there's an awful lot this year you know!

    That food fighting bit is quality too- always makes me hungry for some reason even though the food looks like playdough
