[REC] (2007)

November 30th, 2008 | Category: blog,films

So i went last night to see the midnight showing of spanish shakey-cam flick ‘[REC]‘.

few bits of information about the film:
1. its all in spanish
2. its in shakey-cam
3. its an 18
4. I screamed like a little girl on a rollercoaster

[REC] is a horror film , the term horror is used rather lightly as id personally classify it as more of a scary film.
The difference between horror and scary is that horror makes you afraid or scared of stuff , scary is when shit isnt particuarly creepy or psychologically worrying but more – you know stuff is going to happen… but not when.

The film is , at heart , a zombie film. Its pretty much Left 4 Dead the movie. The shakey cam is somewhat annoying at times, but it definately does add to the scare factor , characters obscure parts of the camera – making you not know what is there or whether to brace for an OHFUCK ITS IN MY FACE AND THERE ARE LOUD NOISES moment.

It went from being boring at the start too a slightly scary film – made scary by random cheap scares , to an awesome film – made awesome by the security guard who fucks up zombies hard , not to give the other kills away but in one scene a zombie runs at him , he punches it in the face and then snaps its neck (pretty lol sitting in the cinema and being like OHHHHHHHHHHHH with some other people in the cinema clapping and stuff) . The film then goes to a very scary film towards the end… when the lights go out… “turn on the light on the camera..”-”oh okay.. give me a second…” AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH (more cheap scares.)

It was an awesome film , suspense , gore , moments which make you shout at the screen , and cheap scares – what more do you want from a ‘horror’ film.

Unfortunately i do think the reason it was so awesome was from the atmosphere of the cinema , having everyone scream along with you , and being 2 rows from the front probably made it a little scarier too since when shit was on screen – it was pretty much all of your vision – you also have to pan your head to look for scary little girls and stuff…

Came back afterwards , chilled out , ate some jelly , then played around with some pink food dye – made some peoples juice pink , pink milk , pink ginger beer , pink cream soda , pink lemonade….

Food and tinfoil

November 26th, 2008 | Category: blog

A while ago:

Had a yummy thingy at a posh restaurant when my parents came to visit (i think this was like 2 weeks ago now but i only just got stuff off my phone.) – it was like a folded pizza / Giant cornish pasty with chicken and stuff in.
Very tasty.

————–

Yesterday:

My first and probably last steak at warwick, parents bought it for me – although £2.20 for a big beefy steak isnt bad at all so maybe i will get some more , chicken is like £3.20 for two breasts so i guess it isnt that bad. (although 2 chicken breasts lasts about 3 meals)

5 Minutes ago :

people wouldnt clean their shit up in the kitchen , so we wrapped it all in tin foil – as you do.
Also wrapped but not pictured – Kettle , toaster , stephs fork – which she was in the middle of using.

Work work and more work

November 20th, 2008 | Category: blog

Sorry for the lack of updates , life has really been giving me a beat down.

Frances came to visit me on tuesday, which was nice – although made me realise there really isnt much to do on campus during the day (or during the night realistically)
Ended up playing guitar hero in the common room for a bit , playing poker with some of the upstairs guys and then watching ‘untracable’ , which was more or less ‘saw’ from what i hear (kidnap , torture). It was meh , somewhere between the lines of bad and okay – not particuarly a good horror film but more of a plain sadist gore film.

Walked around campus the next day , went to tesco for some shopping and ended up spending £10 on fuckknows what when i only wanted bread. Watched ‘Mirrors’ , which was okay. Certainly more of a horror film than ‘untraceable’ – although very typical supernatural horror where they solve a mystery/puzzle and then break the curse and all that jazz. It was pretty much ‘the ring’ but before you die you see a mirror.
2 Pizzas for lunch , yummy.

She left at 6ish , and life returned to normal.
It was at this point i realised just how much work i had to do.
- Laundry / Dry clothes
- Study the lab stuff for thursday
- revise for exam on thursday
- sleep as i only got 4 hours the night before.
Hectic night ensued.

Thursday , struggled to get out of bed , took the test , ended up copying 75% of the stuff , did the lab which took from 11am til like 4:30pm. Spent the rest of the day playing games and relaxing.
NFS undercover is kind of meh , feels like NFS most wanted.
Halo was good fun too.
Sweet and sour rice vermicelli stir fry with chicken for dinner , which was kind of dry but edible.

and now im typing this up , and will probably start trying to do my lab report since nobody is on to play L4D. Early bed tonight as 8am start again tomorrow >_>”

ps. that was my last lab! no more labs until after holidays wooooo
(labs arent actually that bad , just the reports are kind of btichin)
