*Batteries Not Included

So this a old film that was a classic of its time and personally I still think is today! I rewatched it recently and fell back in love with it!

Its a story about an elderly couple who live in an old apartment block and a building company are trying to convict them and their fellow neighbours; one whose pregnant, another whose is an artist and one who used to be a boxer but not longer speaks. (he's my favourite because he reminds me a lot of lenny from of mice and men) They refuse to move out and one night the eldery married man wishes on a star for help. Well it turns out something was listening as little robots who love to fix things appear in their apartment.

These are possibly some of the cutest little robots! When they reproduce baby robots they are even cuter! For the time of its release this such a brilliantly produced film. Its so hard not to fall in love with the little robots, especially when work in the dinner and looks like a little walking burger!

With this film, eventhough its written so you will sympathise with the 'goodies' of the film, its hard not to want 'good' to conquer the 'evil'. Mainly because the elderly couple are so loveable and audience can imagine their own granparents in their shoes. Another reason is when one of the newly born little robots is born it dies...it does make an audience feel sad...But the boxer who never talks doesn't give up on him and brings the tiny robot back to life and encourages him to speak his first words of the film!

It is all round brilliantly family film! Definitely to be loved by all generations! If you haven't seen this film you definitely should!

Since graduating...

So in nearly two months of graduating I haven't really managed to achieve a lot...

I've read books and watched films. I have in the last week and a half got myself a front of house job to keep myself busy and earning money to save up to learn to drive and to go to Borneo to see the orangutans in their natural habitat. I know I need to do this as soon as I can otherwise there will be none left to see in the wild, which is completely heartbreaking. I'm hoping next year to do some form of charity event that means I can raise money to help save parts of the forest and protect some of the spectualar wildlife that hides inside :)

I have to admit though I am certainly more organised than the university I went to since I'm still waiting on my degree certificate and room depoist. Not very impressed about that. I'm also just waiting on the rugby world cup to kick off so I can watch some matches when I'm not in work. I know chances are Wales will be completely thrashed by South Africa but will definitely be worth a watch!

The one thing I am extremely happy about is getting two photographs that I have been wanting to take for three years. One is of a Dragonfly and the other is of a Robin.

Yesterday I did have a phone call from a company about doing paid work experience. I have to ring up monday and find out when to go in for an interview. I am so excited! I really want to build up my portfolio by doing different types of work and especially in photography, which is what this work experience is about. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed! 

I will blog about new film soon! Probably Fright Night / The Tree of Life / Super 8... I just need to get my energy levels up so I can watch them without falling asleep... 

    

The Inbetweeners Movie

So it's been released finally. The film to follow on after the TV series....


Admittedly I have tried to watch the TV show and I just didn't really get in to it. But I thought well I'll watch the film. And if your like me you'll love the film! It had me in stitches from the start! I'd seen the trailer for it but I didn't know anything else about what would happen in the film. I think that's a good way to watch it because I find the expectations are lower of films that way.


It was brilliantly written and I think it's definitely one to watch! From what I had seen of the TV series, I found Neil (Blake Harrison) to be the funniest member of the group and I find that he is in the film too. It starts off with them leaving Sixth Form and having that break between school and heading off to university. Then deciding to go on holiday to cheer them all up and they settle on Malia, Greece. 


The whole holiday seems to be disastrous but so entertaining to watch! From the beginning; crap bus ride to pulling up to the run down hotel that they have to stay in. Literally my stomach muscles were aching from laughing so much. The don't succeed well on the pulling and clubbing but the failure makes for brilliant one liners. 


The foursome are brilliant comedic actors and when all put together they make for brilliant amusement. I wouldn't be surprised if they and Film 4 decided to do a follow up film from the success of this one...

I would quote some of the one liners but there were far to many to remember! I recommend this film to everyone!
