The Revenant – Imma Let You Finish but Leo Deserves an Award for this!

January 9, 2016 by WhoIsDhillon

Originally I thought ‘The Revenant’ was a film based on an average game of the same name released back in 1999. Considering we have some big names starring in the film I should have been wiser! Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Hugh Glass, a frontiersman and fur trapper working out in the middle of nowhere with his Native American son Hawk. The hunting party Hugh is a part of arei attacked by Arikara Indians, resulting in the loss of half the […]

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Review – Beware, Here Be Spoilers.

January 3, 2016 by WhoIsDhillon

The franchise is back with everything resting on JJ Abrams to make something that will make fans, old and new, fall in love with the space drama all over again, and forget the mistakes of the past (I’m looking at you Jar Jar you muppet). “This will begin to make things right.” – this first line pretty much sums up what Disney and JJ Abrams have set out to do, and to be fair, it’s a pretty ballsy but they […]

Straight Outta Compton

December 26, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

There’s been various films of past musicians, from Ray starring Jamie Foxx, to Joaquin Phoenix playing Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, but none of them have ever caught my interest as Straight Outta Compton. I’ve grown up listening to rap music, but only caught the tail end of the hype. Straight Outta Compton focuses is on the infamous Niggaz With Attitude (NWA), consisting of Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr Dre, MC Ren and DJ Yella. Eazy-E is initially the frontman […]

Katniss Everdeen is the reluctant hero who now has become a symbol of revolution for the districts, being used as a form of propaganda for Alma Coin to unite the people and overthrow the Capitol. Katniss just has one thing on her mind though, putting an arrow […]

Spectre Review

November 29, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Since I haven’t blogged for ages, I figured I would get back into it with a review of Spectre, the 24th James Bond film that came out a month ago, and you’ve probably heard everyone talking about it. So another review couldn’t be so bad, and if it is deal with it. Sam Mendes is back, and after the awesome Skyfall, he is taking a less serious direction with Spectre. Where as Skyfall was more serious, Spectre is slightly more […]

Jurassic World – T-Rex on ‘roids?

July 15, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Jurassic World takes place 22 years after Jurassic Park, the first movie in the franchise, and on the same island. Since then the world has grown used to dinosaurs, with all the glitz and glamor of bringing an animal back to the life completely gone. Much like the audience going to see the movie, the audience in the film want bigger and better dinosaurs. So the creators of the theme park think – hey why not splice some DNA together […]

Ant Man – a tiny adventure on an epic scale!

July 11, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Ant-Man is a Marvel comic I’ve never been aware of really, so when it was announced it was kind of under my radar. Thankfully a mate offered me a free ticket (cheers Phil!) to go and see it for free at an advanced screening. I wasn’t expecting much due to having no previous knowledge, and a superhero called Ant-Man doesn’t exactly sound ‘epic’. Paul Rudd plays Scott Land, a fresh out of prison kind of good guy who wants to […]

Chappie… the Loveable Robot?

July 5, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Neill Blomkamp is back with another interesting film set in a similar dystopian future like District 9. Chappie takes place in Johannesburg, where crime is kept under control by police robots that carry minimalist Artifical Intelligence, but whose creator, Deon, see’s massive potential. Played by Dev Patel, Deon installs a patched AI into a written off robot, thus Chappie is born. Unfortunately, his parents are real-life South African rappers Die Antwoord. They steal the robot from Deon thinking they will be able […]

Survivor… is what you’ll be if you watch this.

June 28, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Survivor is pretty much a film you’ll watch when there’s nothing good on TV and you’re after some mindless action fun – think Expendables but less enjoyable. Milla Jovovich plays Kate Abbott, a foreign service officer working at the US Embassy in London checking passports and making sure no dodgy geezers end up in the US to do some damage. She arrives to work everyday on a motorcycle which seems rather out of character but I’m guessing it’s because her […]

Kung Fury is so Awesome it gets the Sign of Approval from David Hasselhoff!

May 31, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

What is Kung Fury you may ask? You won’t have seen posters for it at the local cinema, it isn’t an independent film that some actor starred in to get an award at Cannes, hell it even isn’t a straight to TV sequel of Hollywood Blockbuster. The film was a project set up on Kickstarter by a group called Laser Unicorns. Written and directed by David Sandberg, who also stars as a cop who was struck by lightning and then […]

The Gambler Review

May 10, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Imagine Robert Downey Junior’s character of Tony Stark, if you will, as a gambling addict who only feels alive when sitting at a Blackjack table wondering if he’s won or lost. That is what Mark Wahlberg’s character essentially is, a tell it as is, rich brat who tried to make it as a novelist but now instead teaches Shakespeare to students who couldn’t care less. Surprisingly Wahlberg plays the character well, as his obnoxious character comes through well whether he […]

Jupiter Ascending – or more like descending….

May 6, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Mila Kunis plays cleaner Jupiter Jones, a cleaner who dreams of bigger things than being a cleaner in Chicago. Little does she know she is a reincarnation of murdered alien royalty who literally owns Earth. Quite a step up from MTV Cribs.To tick off the male eye-candy we have Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a human-wolf warrior sent to protect her after the current heirs of the royal family decide they want to kill her. To tick off the male eye-candy […]

Avengers: Age of Ultron Review

May 3, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Nothing is going to stop the Marvel movies being awesome. As far as sheer entertainment goes, they are at the top level, bringing a mix of humour, emotion and action with a great storyline to cater to all audiences. It just comes down to how well they mix all these elements that defines where the movie will rank against the rest. Age of Ultron brings back the team of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Hulk to […]

Fast and Furious 7

April 27, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

There are only a few films that can pull off a sequel, let alone 6 more. Too many series’ have milked it way past the good point, such as Saw, Final Destination and Home Alone. Fast and Furious on the other hand just seems to get better and better. Fair point though, it has slightly changed from the original design from Tokyo Drift. It now seems less about the racing and more about how they can use cars to look […]

Newcastle Eagles vs. Bristol Flyers

March 23, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Every Friday Dan Black has hosted the games at Northumbria University for the Newcastle Eagles. A few people from the office would always get the chance to see the games, and this Friday I was enticed by Holly with the guarantee that it would be awesome. As I had my camera to capture the eclipse that had took place earlier I thought this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. A quick text to Dan and I was sorted with […]

Once in a Lifetime Solar Eclipse

March 22, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

March 20th, Friday morning, all eyes fixed to the skies. Everyone who had the time was looking for the Solar Eclipse taking place at 9.30am GMT. Newcastle was set for a 90% eclipse, which meant I had to get the camera out and capture it. Unfortunately the weather had other plans, as clouds covered the skies! Every now and again there was a gap that gave us a slight glimpse of the Sun being blocked, and then it was gone […]

Power/Rangers Are Go!!

March 1, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Earlier this week an awesome short hit the web, something that was totally unexpected and totally beyond belief – Power/Rangers. The short film is something you would expect from Hollywood with its Halo/Transformers intro as equivalent of a Michael Bay movie. Starring Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff as former Pink Ranger Kimberly Hart and Dawson’s Creek’s James Van Der Beek as former Red Ranger it has already got a decent cast to get the ball rolling. Producer Adi Shankar and filmed by […]
