Okay, so today I gave in and 'forced' myself to go and see Twilight: New Moon. What can I say except, ignore the critics! Get out there and see it - even if like me, you were one of only 5% of the audience above the age of 20 and male...
Jeez - it's like the most pornographic love story without sex, I have ever seen! Kristen Stewart has transformed from 'ordinary' to 'alluring' and has definitely ditched the annoying overly klutzyness she had in the previous episode.
And then there's Taylor Lautner - who is the co-star of this episode. He really has put on 30lbs of pure muscle. And he spends most of the movie semi-naked displaying the most awesome 8-pack (yes 8!) you're likely to see this side of your bedroom door... Having grown into the co-starring role beautifully, he takes delight in showing off smooth, olive skin and the most disarming smile you can possibly imagine.
I once went to a Deep Purple Concert. It was opened by 50 mins of THUNDER. I promise you, they were so good that when they played their latest single, I logged on to the internet immediately after and bought it. The concert couldn't get any better.
PETER FRAMPTON then arrived and Holy Shit! Was better! Now, there was no way Deep Purple could raise their game to that level.
DEEP PURPLE then came on and played a majority of tracks from their at-the-time unreleased album 'Bananas.' They barely touched on their classic material. There was no way they could hope to out-perform their two opening acts.
Yet they did.
Just like Robert Pattinson.
How the hell can an Englishman with painfully aristocratic looks, bad hair and spray-painted abs come along and out-sex the star and co-star of the movie? In the cinema, a row of young (hetero-sexual) youths were out spending their benifits with their chav-girl-friends. The guys were so intimidated by Pattinson's dripping sexuality, they felt it necessary to nervously take the piss, loudly, to the rest of the auditorium. However, each time he appeared, almost in slow-motion, the front-row initially were nervously silent as they desperately wrestled with unfamiliar and frightening feelings!
Buff heart-throb Ryan Reynolds was recently reported as having said,'I'm not gay, but Robert Pattinson is making me seriously consider it...'
I wonder how many other guys are in a similar position?

Last week I used my Cineworld Pass to see 2012 'starring' John Cusack. Based around the 3,000 year old Mayan Prophecy which has been mirrored by Nostradamus, Mother Shipton and actually NASA - this is an explosive SFX film that again, regardless of the critics, has to be seen. Joined by Woody Harrellson, playing a strung-out crazy Hippie, in all honesty, Cusack and co are extraneous to requirements. As is the once great Danny Glover, who unconvincingly lisps his way through the film as the President of the USA. Cusack rarely acts in any of his films - he really just plays himself. Sometimes to great effect. Sometimes without effect. Harrellson has also had his moments, although they are as infrequent as his time behind the bar in Cheers. The premise of the film is however, frighteningly convincing.
Every major religion in the world has pointed to 2012 as Armageddon. Civilizations and peoples such as The Mayans, the Aztecs, the Toltecs and the Hopi Indians have all agreed the date: 21 December 2012 - but in the case of the Mayans, using a far more accurate Calendar than the Gregorian one we use. The Mayan Calendar is accurate to the hour. The Gregorian still uses 'leap years' to tidy it up every fourth year. The Mayans had an advanced knowledge of Astronomy and new about all of the 'bodies' within our solar-system. We were still discovering planets we knew nothing of in the 20th century (Pluto).
Of course, don't go selling your house yet - Armageddon is translated as 'the end / new beginning.' The date represents the end of the Mayan 5th Cycle and beginning of the 6th. Unfortunately, the Mayan Calendar does end there - which is a little disturbing.
It also represents our move from one constellation to another. But most importantly, NASA confirm that there will indeed be a planetary alignment in our solar system which happens only once every 26,000 years. All of the planets will be aligned on that day and will also align with our the centre of the Milky Way - our Galactic Centre...
Freaky stuff which is supported by eminent Scientist Charles Hapgoods theory that Earth-crust displacement has taken place at least once in recent history (the last 30,000 years or so), and probably more often with geological evidence, and fossil evidence to back up the theory. That particualr theory was also supported by a certain Albert Einstein! Doesn't mean it's right tho' (check out Darwins Theory of Evolution - it's loaded with supermassive black holes!)

I hope their wrong as I'm not going to be in a position to buy my Aston Martin for a few years yet!
Finally onto another great movie - The Fourth Kind...
Now, if I remember correctly, the First Kind is 'evidence of alien visitors' (Crop Circles, Radiation, wreckage etc...)
The Second Kind is 'visual sightings.'
The Third Kind is 'contact.'
The Fourth Kind is 'abduction.'
And shit, it's scary!
Based upon alledgedly real events and using recorded footage of the same, this story is based in the small town of Nome in Alaska. This town has historically suffered from a huge number of disappearances (without trace) such that the FBI have had a significant presence there. Compare Anchorage, with a population of 10s of thousands and FBI presence of a handful of cases in the last 30 years, Nome has a population less than a tenth of that, with over two hundred visits from the FBI. Well, something like that.
I'm not going to say much more, except again, when referencing ancient civilisations and ancient history, they've got it dead right. And it may just scare the bejesus out of you.
If you're intrigued by this one, check out Alexander Sitchins Earth Chronicles books. They may well raise your eyebrows and open your minds...
If not, go and see it anyway.
It's very unusual that an internet campaign has been discreetly launched by persons unknown, to discredit this movie.

It's always interesting to speculate on the truth... but whatever has happened in history and whatever happens in the future, I just hope I get to buy my Porsche next year and most importantly, to see the final 2 instalments of Twilight... Eclipse and Breaking Dawn...
Enjoy!!!
