I know, i know! where the hell have i been? Just been plain lazy when it comes to updating my blog. Can’t really say i’ve been busy, because i haven’t. I have been drinking a lot lately and just 3 days ago i hit the 4th decade on this earth—yup i’m 30! How did it feel? no difference from 29 really. Got a party planned for a few weeks time and kind of nervous about people turning up and there being space and what to do etc etc.So in the last few weeks i’ve seen 2 films, but other than that i’ve not been that regularly as i would like to. I’ve also decided to quit the gym to concentrate on my exam studies and am surprised that i’m actually getting into it. sad, eh?!
So the films are: 
Saw 3
Premise: Like the other films. This final chapter (allegedly) involves inventive ways to kill people very gruesomely created by the serial killer Jigsaw. In this 3rd film, more people are trapped and killed, Jigsaw and his accomplice have another agenda too.
Verdict: This film is SO GORY! one particular death machine is freakin’ horrible. I think this film tops Saw 2 and is as good as Saw 1. It also explains alot of inconsistencies with the earlier films.
Rating: 8/10
Borat
Premise: Based on the character created by Sascha Baren Cohen from the TV show, comes a 
potentially political, often very funny and offensive film, with one of the dodgiest fights you’ve seen in ages. Basically Borat goes to U S and A to learn about their culture and take back any teachings to Khazakstan. Some pieces of the film appear staged, but for the most it is basically Borat interviewing and offending Americans and getting them to say stuff they would not normally willingly say.
Verdict: I thought it was a bit hit and miss, though i tend to not like comedies the 1st time round and need to see it again later. It seems to be half documentary-half fiction plus a dollop of offensive comedy. I’m surprised this has done well in America as it basically takes the piss out of them unashamedly.
Verdict: 7/10
I have seen some rental DVD’s with my flatmate recently though. The 1st was the Jennifer Aniston chick flick “Friends with money” which was boring and the Nick Cage “comedy”- “The Weatherman” which was plain depressing and not funny at all.
OK what else to say? hmmm? can’t think, got to do some dictations and maybe some more studying.
I’ll try and write a bit sooner next time!
