Top Gear at the Metro Radio Arena!

February 22, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in front of a crowd of thousands of petrol heads, comedy fans and girlfriends dragged to the show to keep their boyfriends happy. What’s not to love?! What interested me most was how they were going to take all the antics and traveling they do on the show and cram it into the arena, they can’t exactly take all the fans to the Australian outback or the jungles of the Amazon? The show […]

The Voices – Ryan Reynolds is Tripping Balls!

February 11, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Ryan Reynolds is back in another indie film after appearing in several larger films such as Turbo, Green Lantern and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He’s appeared in many indie films before such as Buried and a personal favourite of mine The Nines – even though they haven’t really ever been massive hits. In The Voices he plays Jerry, an always-happy factory worker who must always dress in pink. Everyone treats him like a nobody but Jerry continues putting on a happy […]

Kasier Chiefs – Thursday 5th February

February 6, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

I got to see the Kaiser Chiefs on 5th February and write a short review for Metro Radio. Check it out below! The Kaiser Chiefs graced the Metro Radio stage last night, fresh off the back of their tour with the Foo Fighters in South America last year. Ricky Wilson, one of the judges from The Voice and lead singer, had previously likened the band to the Foo Fighters saying they “get on stage and get the audience involved and […]

John Wick – or is it Neo in disguise?

January 25, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Keanu Reeves last outing in 47 Ronin and Man of Tai-Chi was pretty poor to say the least. In Man of Tai-Chi, he barely had any fight time, while 47 Ronin was dull and left much to be desired. John Wick is a stripped back all out action flick, even to the point of the story being a simple revenge plot. We’re introduced to John covered in blood, lying next to his car about to die, before he’s about to […]

Big Hero 6 featuring the Pillsbury Doughboy

January 21, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

When Disney and Marvel work together you get Big Hero 6, a film bout Hiro, an orphan who has some amazing tech talent but uses it in the wrong way (with great power comes great responsibility?), in the intro he builds a robot to hustle back alley gamblers in robot fighting. After being saved by his brother Tadashi, he is shown that he can use his talents to help people. At this point we are introduced to Baymax, a smaller […]

Kingsman Review – Manner maketh man bruv

January 18, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Ever wondered what would happen if James Bond was let off the leash (and I’m not talking about the ‘darker’ version seen in the recent films)? Kingsman, the spy movie from Matthew Vaughn, could be seen as homage to the classic Bond films as it has the cheesy clichés such as the gadgets, the suits and the typical Bond bedding the woman at the end of the film. That’s where the clichés more or less end as Kingsman is full […]

Horns Review

January 14, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Daniel Radcliffe has a massive test on his hand to shake off his stereotype of being Harry Potter. He had the leading role in Woman in Black which to me was as scary as finding out I’m all out of batteries for my Xbox controller. In Horns he plays Ig Perrish, a teenager accused of killing his girlfriend. What doesn’t help is she was churchgoer so that instantly throws it up to level 11 of the Oh-Shit-You-Fucked-Up scale. After being hounded […]

The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies

January 11, 2015 by WhoIsDhillon

Although I like The Lord of the Rings series I cant says I was one of the fans that compared it to the book. To me it was just a good movie with some amazing action pieces telling the story of some interesting characters. Although sometimes these characters came across in some weird ways – Frodo and Sam clearly made a Brokeback Mountain tape afterwards. The Hobbit attempts to reach the same feat as the same trilogy by having the […]

The Equalizer (or basically don’t mess with Denzel Washington)

December 24, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

He’s fought kidnappers in Mexico, held hostages in a hospital as well as a heroin kingpin in Manhattan, so for this one Denzel Washington figured he might as well play Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. The Equalizer is based on the American crime drama of the same name that aired in 1985. It originally starred Edward Woodward, who helped people in hopeless circumstances when they had no one lese left to turn to. Fast-forward to the present, and now Robert […]

Bombay Bicycle Club – O2 Academy 2014

December 14, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Bombay Bicycle Club released their 4th album earlier this year, which is much more electronic than previous editions as their sound has changed from their first album ‘I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose’ – so it was interesting to see how this would play out live on stage. They opened with songs ‘Overdone’, ‘Come To’ and a few more from the new album before moving onto ‘Lights Out, words Gone’, a personal favourite of mine. During ‘Ivy […]

Metro Radio Live

November 30, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Spent Friday afternoon working backstage at Metro Radio Live, seeing the likes of Ed Sheeran, Sigma, and many more pop stars being interviewed. It was weird seeing Labrinth wander in wearing a massive kitty jumper, and then adamantly distancing it from the Hello Kitty brand. It was also strange seeing how excited artists get when they find out one of their favourites is floating about, something which I thought only happened to the regular Joe Public, but Charli XCX couldn’t […]

Fury – How Does Brad Pitt Model During Wartime?

November 23, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Don ‘Wardaddy’ Collier (Brad Pitt) is a battle-hardened sergeant commanding a crew of five who have to take their Sherman tank deep into enemy lines. We see them mow down Germans, take on other tanks and clear villages. The one thing we don’t see is Brad Pitt’s hair out of place. Even when he has two grenades blow up in his face. The story begins with Wardaddy’s crew losing one member of the team who is replaced with typist Norman […]

Nightcrawler – Living the American Dream

November 19, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Jake Gyllenhaal is the star of this satire on American news. He plays Lou Bloom, an odd individual driven to make his next dollar through any means necessary. He starts off by stealing metals to sell at the scrapyard, at which he tries to procure a job but is knocked back. As he is heading home he stumbles onto a car crash where a TV news crew inform of an untapped resource – the publics thirst for violent crimes. After […]

Interstellar – A Galaxy Away from Batman

November 17, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Interstellar is the latest epic movie from Christopher Nolan with brother Jonathon Nolan. Originally this was penned for Steven Spielberg back in early 2000’s, but after being put on hold it’s finally out with Christopher at the helm. Interstellar is hugely different from the Batman trilogy, its more along the lines of his earlier films such as Memento and Prestige. Instead of grand action scenes and set pieces, Christopher is using emotion and storytelling to take the viewer through an […]

Heroes in a half shell… With a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

October 26, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

The turtles are back with a Michael Bay re-imagining featuring a fresh take. After the joke that was Transformers 4 I was sceptical of what was going to become of the turtles, and nothing could be worse than the animated movie which came out in 2007. The story focuses on the evil Shredder and his Foot Clan trying to create a virus which they will release on New York City, and corrupt Eric Sacks selling the cure to make lots […]

Brick Mansions is a messed up Google Translation

October 12, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

In 2004 Luc Besson brought parkour to the world in the form of District B 13, a fun action flick that had plenty of unique action stunts from David Belle. He ran up walls, squeezed though tight gaps, and gave the baddies a hard target. Brick Mansions takes that French dystopian action and moves it to Detroit, where police officer Paul Walker must go into the walled off zone that now houses the most dangerous criminals to disable a bomb […]

Walk down the right back alley and you’ll find a Sin City review…

October 1, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Frank Miller is back with the next instalment of Sin City – A Dame to Kill For. This time the main story of four is about Dwight (previously played by Clive Owen and now Josh Brolin) being played by his seductress ex Ava (Eva Green). She essentially uses her excessive naked-ness to turn everyman around her, into a mess to work in her favour of becoming powerful. The weakest story is ‘Just Another Saturday Night’ which is a prequel just like […]

Godzilla Got Fat

September 28, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Remember 1998’s Godzilla with the amazing music from Jamiroquai and P. Diddy, Daddy or Sean Puffy Combs, whatever he’s called. Well this Godzilla is nothing like that. It doesn’t have massive artist attached to it for a music video, it doesn’t have Jean Reno or Matthew Broderick, and it barely has Godzilla. Instead what we have here is a film that builds everything up through mystery and suspends and provides small details to create the history of the characters and monsters […]

Lets Be Cops

September 21, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Ryan and Justin (Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr from New Girl) are a pair of 30 year olds who after years of trying to find the right find out they hate everything. Ryan was dreaming to be an all-star football player, but got set back due to an injury and now coaches a group of kids, while Justin works at a games company where he fails to get his ideas heard. They are invited to an alumni party, which […]
