Walk da' Walk (Update One)

Hello all.




*BLATANT PLUG ALERT WITH ADDED WEIRD FACIAL EXPRESSION*

Yes, the name of my blog has changed yet again. Why, no one asks? Well, it will no longer be a film blog (that latest long) and I will now use it for blatant plugging for the charity hike I am undertaking in the summer. Apologies in advance.

With just over four months to go until the hike I thought I'd best start doing some good ol' fundraising. Twitter, Facebook and begging are the methods I will be using most often to attempt to reach the goal of £550, which is going to be really tough. There is the possibility that me and a friend, who is doing a charity hike too, will be co-hosting a charity event later in the year, but that is yet to be determined. So, anyways...

It had been a rather wet and windy day in Cumbria...

This year it appears I will be on my own for the hike. My best friend Adam has joined me the last two years, whilst my brother and his fiancee kindly joined us last year to do the Hadrian's Wall Trek. I really enjoyed doing the treks the previous two years, albeit last years was spoilt by the horrible weather. Doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks was great the year before. The views were fantastic and despite being bitten to pieces, it was well worth it. I think this will be my last one for a while as I feel bad asking for money each year off of you lovely people. We've really appreciated the support over the past two years. One more big push would be greatly appreciated though! The UK 24 Hour Three Peaks Challenge is something I have wanted to do for a while and I'm really excited that I get the chance to do it for Mind. It's a fantastic cause and something that is very close to my own heart, so I'm chuffed that they are putting it on and I can't wait to get going with it.

Ben Nevis

The walk itself takes place between the 14th-16th June. The aim is to climb the biggest peak in each of Scotland, England and Wales inside 24 hours. I will be meeting the mini-bus at Chester Train Station on the Friday where we (the gang of us representing Mind) will all then head up to Scotland to spend the night ahead of attempted to hike up Ben Nevis the following morning. After completing the biggest of the three peaks we will then be heading South to Cumbria to climb Scafell Pike, which will have to be completed during the night. The final part of the challenge will see us head to Wales for a bright and early 4am (approximately) start to climb Snowdon, of which I have been told the views are spectacular. We are hoping to be finished for before 9am so we can have a nice celebratory breakfast and then head back to the train station. So yeah, the trek will consist of approximately 25 miles of hiking (11,000ft altogether), 3 countries and approximately 480 miles of driving in 24 hours. Good times!

This will get some plugging off of me over the coming months, so get ready for it. Any support would be great and I'd love you forever if you donated. Mind really is a fantastic charity who do an awful lot to help people who are suffering with mental health issues. Retweets on Twitter, shares on Facebook and so forth would be greatly appreciated as well. As you will see below I'm making the most out of the age of social networking. Please give my Facebook page a like and check out my fundraising page. I will also be filming the walk and any fundraisng events prior to the trek, so I will upload those to my YouTube page. If anyone has any ideas over ways I could fundraise then please let me know! So yeah, that's about it. I'm considering writing a piece for Mind closer to the time, but I might yet bottle that. Thank you for taking the time to read this and many thanks to those who have already donated/agreed to donate.

Review: Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino is never afraid to touch upon uneasy subject matters, and in his first film since 2009 blockbuster Inglorious Basterds he is at it again with slavery-based epic Danjo Unchained.

170 minutes of pure Tarantino-ness. Described by many as his most "straightforward film to date", Django Unchained may not have the twists and turns of a Pulp Fiction or Jackie Brown, but it will leave you shocked, bewildered and laughing out load in your seat like we have to come to expect from the American's films.

The story revolves around former slave turned bounty hunter Django (Jamie Foxx), who with the help of his owner turned bounty hunting partner Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), sets out to rescue his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) from evil plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leanardo DiCaprio). As you would expect, this does not go according to plan and like most Tarantino films all hell breaks loose in extremely violent fashion.

Drawn out, over-the-top and ridiculously violent, but Tarantino always seems to get away with it. Some critics question Tarantino's style, but one thing that can be universally agreed on is that he gets the best out of his cast. Christoph Waltz puts in another Oscar-worthy performance as the German slave sympathising bounty hunter. Like in Inglorious Basterds Waltz portrays an incredibly charming and sophisticated character, but when he needs to be he has an incredibly sinister yet somehow humorous side to him that is perfectly delivered. Jamie Fox leads the movie well, putting in a strong performance, albeit he is out-shone by the marvellous Waltz for the first half of the film. Leonardo DiCaprio puts in a sterling performance as the villain slaveholder who owns the mammoth slave plantation Candieland. It was certainly a different kind of role for DiCaprio, but his blend of charm and ferociousness worked extremely well.

Despite its serious subject matter, humour is never far behind. The Ku Klux Klan scene involving a cameo appearance from Jonah Hill will be something that is remembered for a long time. Samuel L. Jackson is superb as the old timer slave (Stephen) who works at the Candieland plantation. Jackson's first appearance on screen is a memorial one, as he shows of his resentment towards free slave Django in an hilarious interaction with his boss Calvin Candie. One disappointment over cast selection is that of Tarantino himself. His persistence in making cameo appearences in his films is baffling. The outrageously poor Australian accent he tries to deliver will leave you cringing all the way home.

This will not be for everyone's liking, but if you are a die hard Tarantino fan you will not be left disappointed. The film falls short of the incredibly outrageous Inglorious Basterds and the classics of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, but it is another fine piece of cinema by the a director never afraid to push the boundaries of cinema.

Review: Les Misérables

Kings Speech director Tom Hooper took on the mammoth task of directing the movie adaption of the world famous musical Les Misérables, which is based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel of the same name.

 For those who may not be familiar with the story of Les Misérables, it is a tale set in 19^th century France that follows a man named Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) who was imprisoned for 19 years for stealing a loath of bread. After being released on parole by the prison guard Javert (Russell Crowe), he faced a life of hardship and shame for his tainted reputation as a thief. Valjean was taken in by a bishop for the night after spotting him walking the streets as no one would give him shelter or work. In the night Valijean took off with the bishops silver but was caught and taken back to the bishop who confirmed to the police that Valjean in fact was given the silver as a gift, offering him a second chance. The bishops generosity saw Valijean vow to break parole and start a new life. Eight years later Valjean had become a successful businessman and mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer. However, on stumbling upon one of his former employees Fantine (Anne Hathaway), who was very ill and on the verge of arrest, Valjean vowed to look after her daughter Cosette (Isabelle Allen/Amanda Seyfried). Despite taking in Cosette and making a new life for himself, Valijean was always fighting his past.

Although the performances of Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway have deservedly stolen the headlines, this is a film full of top class performances throughout. Hathaway’s highly anticipated rendition of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ was as good as everyone hoped it would be. Despite being only on screen for fifteen minutes, Hathaway has gained nomination after nomination during the awards season and rightly so. Her incredibly powerful performance captured the struggles of Fantine superbly. Jackman’s performance as leading man Valjean is commendable and like Hathaway he has rightly been nominated for all the big awards. His performance of ‘Valjean’s Soliloquy’ is captivatingly sinister and brilliantly shot inside the church as he vows to change his life.

One man who should not escape praise is that of Eddie Redmayne who is excellent as Marius. The raw emotion he portrayed in his performance of ‘Empty Chairs And Empty Tables’ is only matched by Hathaway’s ‘I Dreamed A Dream’. Hooper used the power of the close-up to great effect for both performances, so the audience really got to feel the emotions the characters were expressing in those moments. Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter also linked up very well as the scheming Thénardiers. Bonham Carter took a backseat to Cohen's skillful comedic performance, however the blend worked excellently despite Cohen's slightly questionable French accent.  

Russell Crowe's singing voice is one of few major criticisms that has been made about the film. Although Crowe is the weakest vocalist, his stage presence and manner sees him get away with it. As a character Javert is not meant to be liked. His ruggedness, both vocally and physically, helps turn this disadvantage in to a positive.

Tom Hooper has kicked the year of cinema off with an all mighty bang. Powerful, captivating and cinematically beautiful. The film deserves all the praise it gets.

Review: Quartet

Dustin Hoffman got behind the camera to direct the mature, quirky comedy drama 'Quartet', starring Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon and Billy Connolly.

The film revolves around a retirement home where retired musicians go to spend the rest of their days. However they face a battle each year to keep the home open and perform an annual gala to raise the funds. The home gets a surprise new resident in the name of Jean Horton (Maggie Smith), the once world famous opera singer. Her arrival unsettles a few feathers with her diva ways and the reunion with former husband Reignald Paget (Tom Courtenay) who also happens to be a resident at the home. The gala hits problems and with ticket sales slow it is put forward that the famous opera quartet of Paget, Bond, Cissy Robson (Pauline Collins) and Horton perform their famous musical number Verdi’s ‘Rigoletto’ . Troubled relationships and problems forgetting the past mean this proposed reunion is not, at least at first, an harmonious prospect for all.

The charismatic Wilf Bond, played by the excellent Billy Connolly, brings a cheeky but harmless humour to the movie with sexual innuendos galore throughout. Michael Gambon is superb as the arrogant director of the gala and fellow resident, Cederic Livingston, a pain in the backside to all who live at the home. Cissy Robison is the sweetheart of the house, but is clearly starting to lose her memory at a rapid rate, whilst Reignald Paget plays the more serious, yet fragile, member of the quartet. Clearly still hurting from his relationship with Horton, Paget learns to let go of the past, as does Horton herself, who finds it especially hard to accept her status as a retiree.

This is not your typical retirement home and nor is it your typical mature comedy. It may be an old folks home, but its residents still exude youthful energy and charisma that is contagious. The movie is a charming, yet quirky, piece of cinema that will surprise you. You will enjoy it more than you think. I certainly did.

7/10.

The 2012 Film Review: 'The Watsie Awards'

I know you have all been waiting on the edge of your seats for 'The Watsie Awards' to be announced, but the wait is finally over! Yeah, yeah, I know no one else cares... Anyway, to satisfying my own film geekyness I have compiled seven different awards that have been given to films released this year. Let me know if you agree/disagree with any of my selections. It was very tough, especially picking the film of the year. 2012 has been a good 'un for films.

Film of the Year: 

1. Skyfall: I decided to go with Skyfall because, to be honest, I have never been a massive Bond fan, but I thought this was such a great film. It was a different kind of Bond movie. It was darker, grittier and certainly not as flashy and over-the-top as many Bond films are. The film relied more on the performances of the actors and the story being told than the flashy cars and gizmo's. It is definitely my favourite ever Bond film.

2. The Dark Knight Rises: Christopher Nolan knows how to make a Hollywood blockbuster. It has been an incredibly successful trilogy, finished off with another fantastic piece of cinema. Was it as good as The Dark Knight? In my opinion, no. The Joker was a better villain than Baine and the way Nolan chose to kill Baine off was a little bit of an anti-climax. However, it was still an fantastic film with another cracking performance from the ever-excellent Christian Bale.

 

3. The Amazing Spider-Man: Excellent effects, great on-screen chemistry between Emma Stone and the new (and very impressive) Spiderman Andrew Garfield, as well as an impressive villian in Rhys Ifans (The Lizard) made for an extremely impressive re-take of The Amazing Spiderman story.

Special Mentions For: Pitch Perfect, Perks of aWallflower, Argo, The Hobbit, Anna Karenina, Silver Linings Playbook and The Hunger Games.

Comedy of the Year:

1. 21 Jump Street: It was tough to choose between this and Ted and on another day it may have been the other way round. However 21 Jump Street gets my vote because it surprised me how good it was. We knew Ted would deliver on being funny, but I was not so sure about 21 Jump Street. Any film new film before this that had Jonah Hill in it always made me sceptical. However, he has had a good year and has turned it around in my eyes. He and Channing Tatum made an impressive comedy double-act in this consistently funny film. Some very good lines, Ice Cube as Captain Dickson, a nice cameo from Johnny Depp and the relationship of the two leading men make this a comedy that is  well worth a watch.

2. Ted: Seth MacFarlane needs no introduction. If you like Family Guy and American Dad, you will most definitely like Ted. A different character, but the same humour. Thankfully for us MacFarlane was able to recreate the Family Guy humour and make it work in a full-length feature film. Mark Wahlberg once again proved his worth as a comedy actor playing alongside his loud-mouthed teddy bear companion.

3. The Campaign: I would just like to clarify that this has not got in to the top three because Will Ferrell is in it, although that is clearly a massive plus point. I actually did not expect this to be that good and its early ratings were mixed. However, I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a great mickey-take out of the American political system by two fine comedy actors in Will Ferrell and Zach Galifanakis. It plays on all the factors involved in an American election campaign, including the debates and promotional videos as well as discussing the idea of corruption (shock, horror!)

Special Mentions: Seven Psychopaths and Hope Springs.

Worst Film of the Year:

1. Keith Lemon: The Movie: Horrible, just horrible. Cheesy, lazy and just, well, embarrassing. The Keith Lemon humour works well on a game/panel show like Celebrity Juice, as he can bounce off and take the mickey out of the people competing. In a movie spread out over 90 minutes, with a poor storyline and an endless supply of celebrity cameos, it gets very boring, very quickly. One of the worst films I have ever seen.

2. Here Comes The Boom: When I see Kevin James in a film I know it is not going to be my sort of thing. I knew it would be bad, but a 1.5/10 bad? Nope. Lazy, cheap comedy, with an extremely cheesy Rocky rip-off ending.

3. Jack & Jill: This is another, in an ever-growing list, of rubbish Adam Sandler films. Why did Johnny Depp and Al Pacino lower themselves to agree to appear in such a film? When a person plays more than one of the lead characters in a film, you know it is risky. Adam Sandler seems to have this high-pitched voice he puts on in a lot of his films, of which in this one he passes off as 'Jill' the annoying sister. Lazy, lazy stuff.

Special Mentions For: Goon and The Wedding Video.

Best Performance: (Joint Winners)

Bradley Cooper (Silver Linings Playbook): Best known for his role in the hit-comedy franchise The Hangover, Cooper proved once more his depth as an actor putting in an exceptional performance as Pat Solitano, a Bipolar suffer who has just been released from a mental institute. Portraying mental illness in a sensitive light is always a tricky job, but Cooper does it perfectly, adding humour and honesty to a difficult subject matter. His performance has been rightly recognised with a Golden Globes nomination, as has the outstanding Jennifer Lawrence.

Tommy Lee Jones (Hope Springs): There is not many films where Meryl Streep is out-shone. Tommy Lee Jones was superb as the distant, unapproachable husband in this surprisingly enjoyable mature rom-com. It is very disappointing to see that only Streep has been recognised for her role in this film in the Golden Globes nominations. Jones would have more than deserved a place on that list.

Worst Performance: (Joint Winners)

Henry Winkler (Here Comes The Boom): 'The Fonz' let himself down big style in this film. It was an extremely cringeworthy performance as a High School teacher. It was overplayed and just not funny, at all. I expect better, Henry.

Anyone in Keith Lemon: The Movie: Do I need to explain myself here, really? Kevin Bishop; Oh dear, oh dear...

The 'I actually quite enjoyed that and was not expecting to' Film:

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter: I went to see this film expecting it to be rubbish. I mean, Lincoln hunting vampires? Come on! However, it strangely worked. It was actually quite historically accurate (bar the vampire bit, of course), with some excellent action scenes that thankfully were not overplayed, making for an entertaining film.

Special Mentions For: Hope Springs and Anna Karenina.

Biggest Let Down:

Taken 2: The original was an 18 certificate and generally well thought of. The sequel was a 12a and, erm, not so much. You could tell the difference. Granted I have not seen the original, but I have heard good things off of people who have. Taken 2 was weak, very weak. Presumably the action sequences that made the first so popular were cut to make it a lesser certificate. This is disappointing. I was left massively underwhelmed by it all. Sorry, Liam.

Special Mentions For: The Woman In Black and Dark Shadows.

The Good, The Bad, The Terrible: Films I Have Recently Viewed

I will tell you what has been a fantastic investment- my Cineworld Unlimited Card. I am in film heaven! Since I got my card it is fair to say I have taken full advantage of it. I have been going film crazy over the last few weeks, watching everything from the surprisingly excellent \\\'Hope Springs\\\' to the darn right awful (awful is kind) \\\'Keith Lemon: The Movie\\\'. This blog was set up so I could do film reviews, but as of yet I have been very slack. I would apologise if I thought anyone really cared! As I have been slack I thought I would do a brief summary of most of the films I have viewed over the last few weeks, and then in the weeks to come I will hopefully write some proper individual reviews for the films I view.

Right then, \\\'The Good\\\':

\\\'Hope Springs\\\': 8/10
Out of all the films I have watched of late, this came as the biggest shock to me. I went in expecting to not enjoy it, but I have to say, I loved it. Yes it was cringeworthy in places, but good humoured cringeworthy-ness. It was funny, engaging, charming, all pulled together by its two leading stars in Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep. Streep is not often outdone, but Jones\\\' performance as the stubborn husband is one of my favourite performances this year. Maybe it is just me, but I would not watch this with my parents. I will not go in to too much detail, but I will never be able to look at Meryl Streep the same again after watching this. \\\'Hope Springs\\\', get on it! Highly recommended.

\\\'Anna Karenina\\\': 7.5/10
I went in expecting a rather slow paced drama-type film. I was pleasantly surprised. The way it was shot impressed me the most, despite the very talented cast. Most of the film was based in a theatre setting which fitted well to the storyline. Love, betrayal, lust... it all seemed to be one big play. It was quicker than I expected which made it more engaging for someone who does not usually watch these sorts of films, which I really liked. As mentioned previously, the talented cast did not disappoint either with their performances. Definitely worth a watch.

\\\'The Sweeney\\\': 7/10
Ben Drew (Plan B) is a talented bloke. He not just raps and sings, he once again proves he can act. Cockney crime films are not usually my cup of tea and I did worry about how cheesy and stereotypical this could be. This was not the case. It was not just engaging with well put together action scenes that were not too drawn out, it added humour and emotion in to the mix well, as well. I am glad I watched it and I would definitely recommend.

\\\'The Watch\\\': 7/10
With an impressive group of comedy actors, including the ever impressive Vince Vaughn, this film did not disappoint. Not a classic comedy film, but it is certainly one which is consistent in its \\\'lol\\\' inducing abilities. If you fancy a laugh and enjoy seeing aliens running around in supermarkets on the big screen, go and see this film.

\\\'House at the End of the Street\\\': 6/10
I would not go as far as to say this is a particularly good film, but I can not ruin my blog title can I? It is more of a psychological horror film than one that will make you particularly jump out of your seat, which I was surprised about. I must state this film only received as high as 6 because of the twist, of which unfolded about two thirds of the way in to the film. Before that I thought it was pretty mediocre. I did not see the twist coming. Maybe I might have, but the first hour of the film had me pretty bored. I am not usually quick to twig on these things anyways. But yeah, the twist was good. Dark ad twisted like it should be for a horror film. Oh and Jennifer Lawrence can sing! I did not know that. I advise you to watch the last 40 minutes of this film. Ignore the first hour of this film, I will sum that up for you if you so require!

\\\'Lawless\\\': 7/10
Stupidly I watched this when I had literally two hours of on and off sleep, so I was nearly dropping off at the beginning of this film. That is not to say the film was bad, it was not. Just do not watch it when you are tired! I am tempted to watch it again just so I can take it in again, but what I did take from it was it is a good American gangster western that involved another stand out performance from the ever-impressive Tom Hardy. I am just disappointed about how short Gary Oldman\\\'s role was in it. A film that is worth checking out if you are in to this sort of thing.

The Bad...

\\\'The Wedding Video\\\': 4/10
It just felt a little lazy. If you are in to people taking the mick out of posh English people then you might enjoy this. For me it was just a poorly executed British comedy that seemed to have been thrown together in five minutes. Rubbish jokes and some very mediocre acting. Would definitely not recommend.

The Terrible...

\\\'Keith Lemon: The Movie\\\': 1/10
85 minutes of pure rubbish that I will never get back. First off, I do not mind Leigh Francis and \\\'Celebrity Juice\\\' can be a decent laugh. However, the comedy what he uses for the panel show does not translate to a movie, at all. It works for \\\'Celebrity Juice\\\' because he has guests who he can bounce his dirty humour off of. In a film, spread over 85 minutes, it just does not work. This was just a cringe-fest of awful jokes, terrible acting and cheesy celebrity cameos. I would only recommend you watch this film to see how terrible it really is. I do not think I have quite done it justice!
