Pimpin' Ain't Easy.

It’s been a couple of days since Carlos Tevez infamously refused to play football in Munich, and by now the poor sod is covered from head to toe in the brownest, smelliest mud you can find.

The Argentinean has been chastised by all sections of the media, with the tabloids in particular completely annihilating him. Fellow players, managers, fans, and journalists have all been catapulting condemnation into his face since the moment the whole misunderstanding on Tuesday night.

Hail Hydra!

This year has been another big year for the superhero genre with Thor, X-Men: First Class and The Green Lantern all screening. And as the summer months drew to a close, the genre still had one last trick up its sleeve: Captain America: The First Avenger.

This is Marvel’s third movie of the year. Not content with Thor and X-Men, the comic book giants released one of their personal favourites, Captain America in the later Summer months. Did they save the best until last? In a word: yes.

The Ruddy Doors.

Pixar have made some great animated films over the past 10 years. With titles like Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, and Wall-e, you’d be hard pressed to find a production studio with a higher success rate than theirs.

They have some of the most original ideas in animation and their creativity is amongst the highest in the business. As the years tick by they’ve moved more and more into adding sequels to former movies. Toy Story has had three movies now dedicated to it and Monsters Inc will be getting a sequel in 2013. Both of the originals were great movies and therefore deserving of sequels. Strange then to see that this year’s Pixar animation was a sequel to their 2006 movie: Cars.

The Hangover, for Hens.

At the beginning of the Summer movie season, there really was a lull in movies that I wanted to go and see. After seeing Transformers: Dark of the Moon, there was nothing for a couple of weeks. This usually leads me into seeing movies I have only a faint bit of interest in. Bridesmaids is such a movie.

I didn’t have high hopes for this flick. Sure it has Flight of the Conchords’ Brahbrah in it as well as Roy from the IT Crowd but judging by the trailer alone, I wasn’t really that excited about seeing it. I could never figure out if it was a chick flick or not, in the end it kind of was but it was still watchable for men.

Extra! Extra! Tweet all about it!

Journalism is an ever evolving profession that is becoming increasingly competitive day by day. Technology has changed the way that we receive our news. Gone are the days when the only sources were the broadsheets and television news bulletins. Now there is rolling news broadcasting around the clock, countless digital radio stations, and of course the internet.

The world wide web has changed the way journalism works. The scope has suddenly been vastly expanded with users able to access their news wherever and whenever they want to and even broadcast their own news.

Happy as Larry.

After seeing Transformers: Dark of the Moon there was no question that I needed to see another film as soon as possible. And so a week later me and my brother went down to the cinema to find something new to watch so our minds would be absolved.

Truth be told we were in a little bit of a lull when it came to finding a new movie to watch; Transformers and The Green Lantern had been seen and Captain America and Cars 2 weren’t quite out yet at the Box Office. So Larry Crowne it was. 

Optimus!

This summer the Transformers movie trilogy came to an end with the release of Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. Was it any good? Of course it wasn’t, it was a horrible movie that only has one silver lining: it‘s the last one!

Now, I watched the first Transformers movie when it first came out back in 2007 and it wasn’t too bad. Sure the story is a complete wafer but on the whole it was a decent movie. It didn’t get nominated for any Oscars but it was watchable if nothing else. Transformers 3 however, makes the original look like The Shawshank Redemption!
