Racism, Sheep and Facebook Friends

It's been a rough couple of Facebook days for me, I know Third world problems, I have deleted over half my friend due to their apparent racist ignorant political belief's. I'm all for letting other live their lives but when the Global atrocities are ignore by the masses only to find everyone weeping over just one of them, it seems a little strange.

Lanark Local Classes & Activities

As the honourably elected  representative for Healthy Working Lives within my latest employment. I was tasked with finding out more about local activities that could count as exercise. Being fundamentally weak and definitely unable to undertake any form of strenuous movement, I thought outside the box.

Cinderella ~ Movie Review

"Live Action" a freshly unique disaster of movie-making. Ruining films and franchises throughout cinematic history. In recent times it has seen a resurgence in popularity with drastic flops such as "Scooby Doo" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Bringing films a conflicting lower sense of realism than the original or the cartoon series. It can be categorised as a poor attempt at CGI.

Cinderella was supposed to be a ground breaking blockbuster, and with it being aimed at children and families re-capturing their love of Disney Princesses, it should have been a sure fire hit. However children simply aren't designed with the attention span required for an epic dramatisation. I am only a little ashamed to admit that neither am I.

Tribute to Mother's Day

Ah... the glorious marketing hell that is our tribute to Mothers Day. Never on the same day, but with advertising starting when Valentine displays are being removed, it's pretty tough to miss. 

John Wick ~ Movie Review

We've all seen the action revenge films popularised in the 80's and 90's, and the latest blockbuster to burst into life is John Wick. A talented assassin (Keanu Reeves)  with Chuck Norris style advertising ('killed 3 men in a bar with a pencil, a PENCIL!'), is out for blood when some rich young pillocks kill his dog.

Alright not the most convoluted story line, but that's where the true genius lies. The writer (Derek Kolstad) and directors (Chad Stahelski, David Leitch) made the rare move of  paring down the emotional attachments for the main character. Wick was originally a deadly assassin (termed the man they called to hunt the Boogieman), however he left the business due to love. Awe so sweet!

Lucy ~ Movie Review

Fresh from her role as The Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson reprises a Milla Jovovich-esq character in a re-imagining of Limitless. In short if you're looking for a kick ass female character with an intellectual plot line (and some Morgan Freeman airtime), then this ideal for your tastes.

Nicoccino Nicotine Experience

A sample of five films of Nicoccino arrived in a over large luxury burgundy envelope, inside was a classy booklet reminiscent of old match books. Despite the booklet being the mere holder of the 5 samples, I was more impressed at the hologram on the outside. (The most realistic ones I've ever seen, think along the lines of the Chocolate Frog Cards in Harry Potter.)
