Its All About The RocknRolla

From the title you can assume that I am a fan of RocknRolla although it also might be down to the fat that its a Guy Richie film. when you watch RocknRolla its clear that this is Guy Richie at his finest a real fast action, trigger happy swearing cockney blinder.

I just watched this film and found it really good and a must see, its a classic Guy Richie film much like Lockstock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. RocknRolla can seem to be just like the other two about drugs, guns and a lot of violence which of course makes it a good watch just because of that. However when you add a rich Russian not Roman Abramovich  to the mix things seem to get even more interesting and of course a lot more trigger happy.

The basic plot of the film is about a rich 'business man' called Lenny Cole  making a property deal with the sneaky Russians worth millions and when you add a greedy accountant, some dangerous goons and a drugged up rock star then things get a bit more interesting for Lenny and his business deal. when things don't go his way he uses his best worker Archie to sort the whole mess out although things don't seem quite that straight forward.....

If non of this has made you want to see it then I guess the fact that "its all about the money money money" will make you watch to watch it and even if that don't seem to float your boat then the fact that you have full star cast with the likes of Gerard Butler known for his roles in 300, P.S. I Love You and Law Abiding Citizen. Tom Hardy known for Warrior, Batman Dark Knight rises and Layer Cake. Tom Wilkinson known for Batman Begins, Valkyrie and The Truth can be Adjusted and of course many more famous stars.

Now im sorry if this boring review has not made you want too see it then have a butchers at the trailer.....

Sport Podcast


This was the first production piece I have ever done completely by myself and the first ever podcast I have done. I had to create this sport podcast as my first piece of coursework in St Marys, I had a lot of fun editing this and for a short two minute video where not a lot happens I am really proud of this. Looking back its funny how a two minute video takes weeks to make from producing the script, learning it, filming it and editing it. I have to acknowledge my team mate Fabio who made it a funny video a fun couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy it and watch out for more videos.

I have a dream.....


"The Oscar for the best Picture goes too....." One day I want this to be me. I want to win an Oscar for making the years best film by a landslide and become one of the best directors of my time following the greats like Oscar Wilde, Hitchcock, Spielberg, Martin Scorsese what an achievement that would be. It would be even sweeter if it was for a Cartoon Picture.

However... if it goes....

"The Oscar for the best picture goes too"..... anyone else but me

Then I would be with joey and not be so happy...


(Thanks for the video) 


    

My Band....


This is my band....well it was for a day when I was filming for my A level coursework. I'm not really a music goer and to be honest I hardly listen to music but I did however have a lot of fun filming this video not just because as a band we are fantastic and Simon Cowell would be overjoyed to have us on his never ending record label and get that very prestigious Christmas number one. No its mainly because I like filming and trying to be as creative as possible in editing and getting those weird and wonderful shots plus I was a drummer for the day!!!
