Nothing much is going on lately with it being summer holidays for the kids they seem to take all of the fun but here goes.
Music
Well i have'nt been listening to much in the way of new music lately but i have bought a few albums that you should all know about.
First off is muse new album black holes and revelations, this album is a bit different from what muse has done in the past it takes a bit to get use to but if you stick with and listen to it more than once the songs will grow on you.
Keane's second album under the iron sea (yes i know that it's been out for nearly a month and a half but i have just started this blog) is sort of a follow on from there first album hopes and fears but when you listen to the first track on there album you might think that they have gone in a different direction but they turn back to the old keane way with the rest of the album which is'nt a bad thing considering how well hopes and fears did.
Now they were the only two albums i bought but i have been listening to other music and the picks of them are bullet for my valentine (heavy rocking welsh band who's sound is so not like a british band) and fort minor (there new track were'd you go is a fantastic mellow rap song with a fantastic soothing chorus).
Now thats it on the music front for now.
Movies
Now i have seen a few movies lately but i would take up a huge space if i wen into detail so here is just a basic review on what i thought of them.
Jarhead-for a movie thats about war there is'nt much shown about the subject however this is a fantastic buddy movie with a very good preformance by jake gyllenhaal.
Hostel-very violent and nasty movie from eli roth which shows you want lengths people will do for the right ammount of money.
Ghost in the shell 2 innoscence-a movie that is really hard to understand and gets lost in itself because of it, the visuals are really nice but does this make a movie in this case no.
Fun with dick and jane-what the hell is happening to jim carrey this is a step in the wrong direction for him from an actor who can make you laugh to one who just wants to make you smack him hard over the head with a hammer for doing this movie.
There are a few more but i would go into them now.
Games
Now i have'nt had the money lately to buy any new games but i have been playing black on the xbox. with me not playing this first time around i was glad to here that you can play it on the xbox360 with the backwards compatability and i do have to say that this is a very good fps game that will challenge you but will keep you entertained all of the way through with the fantastic destructive environments.
Also i've been playing the demo of dead rising which you can read in my last post above.
Finally i decided to buy mario kart again for the DS again and i'm glad i did i just forgot how good this game can be when your playing against people over wi-fi (as long as they don't do the annoying thing of quitting near the end of the race just before you are going to win.
Anything else
Well not much else has gone on with me i'm not one of those lucky people who can afford to go on holiday every year so i don't have one to look forward to, so i'm stuck here for now.
I am however finally going to be able to finish the decorating of my house after the council finally finished with us (after about a year and a half).
Well i guess thats it for now i think i would post for another week at least just to give me time for things to happen.
