Lucy – The film about life that sucks up one and half hours of yours

August 24, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Luc Besson, famous for directing Leon and The Fifth Element, is back in the seat with Lucy, a film loaded with stars, questions and a great idea. Scarlett Johansson stars in the lead role as Lucy, a party animal student living in Taiwan who is tricked into being a drug mule for a Korean mob boss (played by Oldboy’s Choi Min-Sik). While carrying the experimental blue drug in her belly, the bag bursts and is absorbed into her bloodstream. Cue […]

The Expendables 3

August 17, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Sylvester Stallone brings back the OAP-Team for one more round of over the top action and lots of cheesy one liners. And all of that is a good thing in Expendables 3 as it’s essentially what everyone is after. The time round the Expendables crew is sent to stop an arms deal in Somalia, upon arriving Barney Ross (Stallone) spots the dealer is none other than Conrad Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), the co-founder of the original team. Barney had thought him […]

Guardians of the Galaxy Review

August 10, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka That’s pretty much what you’ll be singing as finish watching Guardians of the Galaxy. Blue Swede’s Hooked on a Feeling sums up the movie – something that is odd and quirky that manages to stick around in your head. Guardians of the Galaxy focuses on Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) who is trying to make a name for himself as Star Lord. As a child he was abducted by aliens after seeing his mother die. Now grown […]

3D isn’t Dead – it’s just not in the Right Place

August 6, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

I got the chance to see Transformers 4 in 3D at the Imax in Metro Centre. Fair dooz it wasn’t exactly the greatest film to see at the Imax but it did show was how well 3D can work. The problem that always crops up with 3D is the glasses. Yes they are annoying and they get in the way, but we’re slowly getting to the point where we don’t need them. Personally I prefer the passive selection of glasses […]

Transformers 4: Age of Extinction Review

Transformers 4 is the first in the next trilogy, gone is Shia Labeouf and the rest of the human cast to be replaced by Mark Wahlberg as essentially Megan Fox, the on screen hottie, his blonde daughter as again Megan Fox, and her boyfriend as, yep Megan Fox. For this instalment they’ve decided to go with shiny fast cars and trucks and a catalogue of models to represent the average joe. Then again you wouldn’t exactly go to see a […]

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

July 23, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Dawn takes place ten years after James Franco said goodbye to Caesar and his crazy monkey tribe on the San Francisco bridge. Since then the monkeys have been blamed for a virus outbreak that has pretty much wiped out humanity, while those immune to the disease have set up a safe haven in the heart of the city. Caesar and his monkey crew on the other hand have built themselves quite a nifty little home on the edge of the […]

The Raid 2: Berandal

July 20, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

The first Raid film was a great flashback to what Asian cinema used to be all about, amazingly choreographed fight scenes with a half decent story line and excessive amounts of violence. The martial arts genre went into decline after The Matrix bubble burst with Revolutions, and Hollywood’s abuse of the genre, but thankfully came back recently with legs flying all over like Van Damme’s flip kicks. Raid Redemption was all about Rama, a rookie police officer being placed on […]

Million Ways to Die in the West Review!

June 22, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

After the success of Ted, Million Ways to Die in the West is Seth Macfarlane’s follow up, but this time he puts himself in the main role. Whereas normally he voices a range of characters from a teddy bear to the Griffin Family, this time he is the lead character sharing the screen with Charlize Theron, who plays Anna. Seth plays Albert, a sheep herder whose life turns upside down when his girlfriend Louise (Amanda Seyfried) breaks up with him. […]

Destiny Alpha Release Play!

June 15, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Destiny is the next big game from Bungie, the infamous creators of Halo, and everyone’s wondering can they really pull away from Master Chief? Destiny will be launching later this year on the new console formats as well as the old generations, except for all of Nintendo’s platforms. Right now the PS4 currently has an Alpha release for players to test out. Luckily I managed to get my hands on an invite. Destiny combines the typical features of the Halo […]

Edge of Tomorrow Review

June 8, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Tom Cruise is back again this year with another action flick set in the not too distant future. Much like Oblivion, Cruise must battle for Earths survival. Thankfully that’s where th e similarities end (actually I lied, again Tom and another lass team up but that’s it). Tom Cruise plays Major William Cage, whose job is to make sure the army looks good on TV, but all that changes when he must go to report on the front lines of […]

Kings of Leon at St James’ Park

June 1, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Kings of Leon headlined the first rock concert that has been held in St James’ Park for a long time, and thankfully the barmy weather remained amazing giving the bands a chance to deliver an amazing show. I missed the first two acts Twin Atlantic and The Horrors but managed to catch a small bit of White Lies. They played their well know songs ‘To Lose My Life’, ‘Farewell to the Fairground’ and ‘Death’ as well as many more tracks […]

Electric Run Lights Up the Night in Manchester!

May 11, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JlTEwEgXIU Take a light night in Manchester(a rainy one at that), add a load of different kinds of dance, EDM and house music, throw in 4,000 odd people covered in neon head to toe and tell them to run 5K. That pretty much sums up the Electric Run. What you don’t get is the crazy people jumping raving excited to run, and pumped up. You don’t really see this at normally at other runs. Something about shifting the run to a […]

Some Summer Tunes

April 27, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

I know the weathers been up and down the past couple of weeks (mainly down) but with summer approaching hopefully we’ll get the chance to set up a barbecue here and there. And to get the barby going you’ll need more than just some mediocre cooking skills, a massive bag of meat and some alcohol to mask the taste of burnt sausages. Here’s a list of tunes to get the party going: Nelly – Ride Wit Me (Viceroy “Jet Life” […]

Robocop Reboot Review

April 6, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Step right up, step right up! Ladies and gentleman, here we have the freak Robocop, and I don’t mean the man with all the robot limbs, I mean this awful film! Robocop is a film from my childhood that I really shouldn’t have saw considering all the foul language, brutal violence and massive drug references, but hey, it was entertaining and had a great assortment of toys based round it, so they knew no one cared about the age rating.

47 Ronin including one dodgy Keanu Reeves

March 31, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Ahh, we welcome Keanu Reeves back for another outing in an Asian/Hollywood outing since Man of Tai Chi, and nothing much has changed. Reeves, once the go to action star of Speed and The Matrix, is trying to keep his credentials alive. In this action romp he spends a lot more of his time on screen, being the half-breed orphan who is found by a clan leader and brought up as an outcast. After his master is shamed and killed […]

Will Ferrell is back as Ron Burgundy, the hapless newscaster who has now married his co-host Veronica Corningstone. Ron unfortunately finds out from his hero news presenter Mack Harken (Harrison Ford) that he is the worst presenter he has ever seen, and offers his wife the job on prime time news.

Fall Out Boy with special guests Pretty Reckless

March 23, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Fall Out Boy has been touring Europe since 28th Feb promoting their newish album Save Rock & Roll which came out last year in April. The album was recorded in secrecy after many reformation attempts during the bands hiatus, and has since gained many positive reviews while also hitting number one in the US – the bands second album to do so. The night kicked off with support act Pretty Reckless, with lead singer Taylor Momsen psyching the fans up […]

Titanfall Review

March 16, 2014 by WhoIsDhillon

Everyone pretty much imagines having an imaginary pet that is slightly out of this world, from dragons to unicorns to maybe an octopus if you’re into that kind of thing. Well after Titanfall, everyone is going to want one of their own that they can casually stroll about with (and Microsoft knows it since that is how they advertised the game). Titanfall is essentially a game based around classic Japanese mechs such as Gundam Wing and Zone of the Enders. […]
