Big Hero 6

Big Hero 6

Animation, Sci-fi and Action 8/10

Hiro and Baymax

Another classic by the Disney team. Big Hero 6 is about a young robot enthusiast boy who develops a special bond with an inflatable robot called Baymax created by his brother to help others in need, together with some friends they team up  to form a band of high tech heroes. 

Big Hero 6 is the 54th edition to the Disney classic  collection, When I saw this advertised I could not wait for it to to be released to dvd so on Monday for £10 from Sainsbury's I snagged it. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a Disney nerd and had to watch this and add to my collection. Paul is not really into Disney but as I was desperate to watch it the same night I purchased it it went on. Paul found the film really funny and even once the credits went up had to go back to a certain scene to watch again as he found it that funny. I found it amazing, it is not the best one as my favourite are the old classics like "The Lion King" and "The little Mermaid" but it's up there.
It is action packed throughout and as I have said many times in the blog it was FUNNY lol. I must warn you though, when you do watch it have some tissues nearby as it is a tear jerker in some scenes...well for the weak like me lol.

As for the characters well what can I say, as said in the title there are 6 heroes, Hiro, Honey, Wasabi, Fred, GoGo and Baymax, but I always find  it is the sidekick you fall in love with during the movie...Well for me it is anyway lol..in" The Croods" its Belt, " Guardians of the Galaxy" its Groot, " Frozen" it is the loveable Olaf and now this it is the big inflatable  adorable Baymax who once you finish watching this film end up wanting your own inflatable softie to take care of you and give you warm marshmallow hugs.
Olaf vs Baymax

I would recommend this film for fellow Disney and animation fans and well anyone who has a good sense  of humour.

Edge of Tomorrow

Edge of Tomorrow

Action and Sci-Fi  9/10


  An Action and Sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise as a military office who against his will is brought in to help fight a war against an alien species.When during battle kills an alien, he is enabled with the same power as them and teams up with a special forces warrior ( Emily Blunt ) to try and end the war.

After seeing the trailer for " Edge of Tomorrow" I was very sceptic as I love alien sci-fi films but I am not a big Tom Cruise fan. When I found out the other day that it was available to watch on Nowtv I asked Paul if we could watch it. Paul was a bit sceptic too as he is a very big fan of the Ridley scott film " Alien" and has always been fussy with what films he watches to do with aliens. Well...we both watched it and thought it was amazing and both Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt played strong likeable characters and gave the acting 100%. Although slightly confusing at first during the first repeat, it was action packed with added humour.The CGI and the special effects used were fantastic and brought the aliens to life. 
 I was really gripped from start to end and would truly recommend it to Sci-fi and non- Sci-fi fans as you will not be disappointed

My Hen night

My fancy dress costume


"Sparta"
I thought I would quickly share my costume idea with you. As you know I have mentioned in me column that I am getting married in August. Due to other commitments between now and then I had my hen night on the 15/5/15.The girls where I work at organised a beer bus night for me with fancy dress.I love the film 300 it is my second favourite Gerard Butler film ( Law abiding citizen being first ) and when I was looking up ideas's I came across the Sparta girl.....so I went for it lol here is a photo of me wearing it. It was a bit on the short side so I had to purchase some white short's just incase.





All in all I did have a really good night...Well what I can remember lol and I want to thank the girls for making it a special night for me.

Girl Crush

Favourite Actress's

This week's category is " your favourite actor or actress" 

Jennifer Aniston 

Jennifer Aniston
Ever since the 90's when I was a young girl, every Thursday night I would sit back, relax and watch "Friends " it was then I started admiring the lovely Racheal Green aka Jennifer Aniston. She always looked perfect on the show and I loved her hair. No matter what style she had the look always suited her she was perfect. Like every young girl, I dreamed to be like her, I tried to copy and get the Jennifer hair but as my hair was too thick it was never possible and ended up a disaster, it was like I walked out the poodle parlour.( I am so glad I have GHD's now lol ). I have watched alot of film's she has starred in...My all time favourite is the bounty hunter, only because it not only has her but the lovely Gerard Butler.Double whammy of my favourite stars.Always said they would make a lovely couple.



Funny film
  


Even though both Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston are both my all time favourites. There is another young actress who has appeared in a few films lately who I have grown quite fond of. Every film I have seen her in I have watched more than once....well I will take " Into the woods out the equation" thought that was such a dire film lol and she was wasted in it, is Anna Kendrick. I noticed her in the popular film "Twilight" as Jessica, the young girl who befriends Bella at school.She really bounced onto our screens more with  " Pitch Perfect " as Becca. I thought she played a really good part in that, I loved her image and I think if I was still a teenager she would be a great role- model....sadly I am 30 next month so no way will I ever look younger  :( 

Who are your favorite actor's or actresses?

Enfield Haunting

Enfield Haunting update


Did anyone watch the first episode of " The Enfield Haunting" on Sunday?
What did everyone think?
I watched it with Paul, We have not got  Sky or Virgin at the moment as we are saving for the Wedding but we purchased the entertainment package through NowTv which had SkyLiving so we managed to watch it at 8pm instead of 9pm which was awesome.

I thought it was quite good and found myself a few times hiding behind my hands, peeping in-between my fingers at the jumpy bits.I can not wait for next weeks I think each episode will get more creepy.


Sex tape

Sex Tape


Rom - Com 7/10


Starring - Cameron Diaz, Jason Segal and Rob Lowe


Sex tape is about a very loved up couple, Annie ( Cameron Diaz ) and Jay ( Jason Segal ). After 10 years together and having 2 children their sex life becomes non - existent. They both decide to try and spice it up by recording a sex tape of them trying every position out of a sex book  called "The joy of sex "which works until the recording accidentally  ends up on the internet. Anne and Jay find it a their mission to try and take down the footage before everyone see's it.

I have read other reviews on this film quite a few were bad , but I liked it. Yeah it was corny and you had  "APPLE " products rammed in your face throughout the film., but it made me chuckle.For me if a film makes me giggle its a winner. Then again I love watching the cheesy, corny horror films with my friends for a good laugh.
