DVD Outsider – Robin Hood review

For anyone interested in watching the recently released film Robin Hood, you might want to take a look at this review, written by Joseph Ewens, on the DVD Outsider website. It looks to be an interesting and entertaining action movie remade with modern actors in a more gritty environment. A lot of older stories coming out at the moment seem to have this gritty reimagining but it is a trend that seems to give extra depth and different perspective on the old classics.

One quote from the review that stands out goes on to say,

Actors wade towards the camera through boggy marshes or charge on horseback across dark sandy beaches. Each setting is captured beautifully by Scott regular John Mathieson, who presents the overcast beauty of the English countryside in a powerful but maudlin way that neatly reflects the national mentality. The most visually captivating scene features a snarling Mark Strong as the villainous Godfrey. Strong has become the de-facto choice for big budget bad guys, having played the lead villain in both Kick Ass and Sherlock Holmes within the last 12 months. As soon as his angular face hits the screen, you can be certain that he’s up to no good.

Pimp my box

Grid - Race Driver

Grid - Race Driver for the Xbox 360

Here is a photo of my third attempt at ‘pimping’ my X-Box 360 and you could do the same to yours.

Warning! This is not for anyone without a very steady hand and I can assure you it was not all that easy, but as you can see the end product is a real cool piece of kit.

The first attempt started very well, I read the instruction sheet and peeled of the first decal but it was not long before it was completely stuck to my fingers and ended up in as a ball in the bin! This was not a good start.

Read on about my further attempts.

Jamie T – Emily’s Heart Music Video

For fans of Indie music, the new music video to accompany Jamie T’s single release, Emily’s Heart, is now viewable on YouTube and posted here for you to have a look at.

The reason this video has made its way onto this blog is due to the music video being filmed in Broadstairs!

The single is already available on the Kings and Queens album, however a re-recording is being released on the 15th March that also includes a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s Atlantic City as a ‘B-side’ track.

This may not be to everyone’s musical taste and has been said by some to sound pretty ‘Melancholy’, however it is still interesting to see how Thanet is slowing regaining its place on the map for having a good diversity in music (live or otherwise!).
