Reviews on various stuff for June
Here are some Movie, Book, Music and product reviews just for fun.
MoviesYOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHANWhen?19 JuneWhat?This rip-roaring comedy takes funny man Adam Sandler into familiar territory. Zohan is an Israeli commando who tires of his life as a killing machine. So he fakes his own death to pursue his one true dream - becoming a hair stylist. In his new found role, Zohan becomes a hit with his customers, who queue up outside his salon for his "special services". But when Zohan's true identity is exposed, he risks losing his new found life and career. Why watch?Like all of Adam Sandler's movies, this one promises to be quite a laugh. There are camos by fellow comedians, Rob Schneider and Kevin James, and even a spot by diva Mariah Carey as well.THE INCREDIBLE HULK
When?
12 June
What?
After Ang Lee's dark and dreary
Hulk in 2003, this film sets out to rewrite the origins to follow the comics more closely. After being exposed to radiation, Bruce Banner inadvertently transforms into the Hulk when angered or stressed. Meanwhile, the United States army tries to replicate his accident to give their shoulders incredible powers. Instead, they get the abomination - a larger, more powerful monster that cannot be stopped!
Why watch?
This version of the Hulk shows a more human side. The film also explores the love story between Bruce Banner and the hapless Betty Ross.
GET SMART
When?
19 June
What?
Maxwell Smart, agent 86 for CONTROL, is promoted to take down the forces of evil known as KOAS. The problem with Maxwell, is that he is a bumbling idiot! He may have the cool spy gadgets, but this guy's no James Bond. Thankfully, he has the competent yet enigmatic agent 99 at his side!
Why watch?
Get smart was a popular TV show back in the 60s, famed for his sharp wit and quirky humour. You can expect the same from this comedy that looks set to become one of 2008's biggest hits.
BooksHERE LIES ARTHUR
By Philip ReeveGet swept off your feet with a little old-school chivalry and swashbuckling action. When village girl Gwyna is found hiding in the forest by the mysterious magician Myrddin, her life is irreversibly changed. Myrddin serves the young, powerful and magnetic Arthur, who is making
a bid for the throne, and with Gwyna's help, history will take a new and brave course. For lovers of Camelot lore, this refreshing take on the legend of Arthur is sheer pleasure.
SLAM
By Nick HornbySam is just a normal North London lad. Well, except for the fact that he talks to a Tony Hawk's poster. And that his ex-girlfriend, Alicia, has suddenly declared that she's preagnant with his baby. Now 15 year old Sam has to face Alicia's snobby parents, work out how to be a dad and grow up fast. Written with Hornby's trademark lively wit and filled with unexpected twist in the plot, this read is warm, funny and smart all at once
ProductsEee PC 900
What?
A small, lightweight PC that's brimming with easy to use functions. I like: this amazingly light weight PC packs a whole range of hardware that includes an 8.9 inch windscreen, a 1.3 megapixel webcam and 12GB or 20GB storage capacitites for Windows or Linux platforms respectively - with a total weight that's less than 1kg! This tiny terror is ultra portable and connects to the internet seamlessly.
Extras....
If you're looking for a no frills PC that will fulfill your basic needs, the Eee PC 900 has it all. But the best part is that it's very affordable!
MusicFALL OUT BOYLIVE IN PHOENIXUNIVERSALRun out and grab yourself a copy of this if you're a super Fall Out Boy fan, coz it's about the closest thing to catching their live performance! Being their first ever concert CD, expect an adrenaline-charged album chock full of their biggest hits, including
sugar, we're going down, thanks for the memories, and new single
beat it. I guarantee you will be head-banging in the comfort of your living room starting from the very first track!
DUFFYROCKFERRYUNIVERSALIf you've already fallen under the spell of Duffy's radio-friendly hit 'Mercy', then you're going to love
rockferry even more! After three years of incubation, Duffy's debut album has proven to be a polished work of art! The strong vocals of the 23-year old singer coupled with brilliant songwriting makes for addictive listening from the first track to the last. If you're into bluesy soulful music, make sure you go out ther and buy this.
Hope you find these interesting! I will be back with more reviews soon for July!!!
