End of Blog...

OK, so I've messed around with my review system a lot lately, but I can't really be bothered to upload a review onto Facebook and Blogger, so I am not going to use my blog anymore, because to tell you the truth, I can't be bothered.

Thanks :)

Vengeance on Varos (Doctor Who): Review

Haha, Corey, I have reviewed Vengeance! Now all that's out of the way, let's get on with the review. Interesting. Two people watching someone being torched on TV, for entertainment. Oh look, it's the Oval Office! Sorry, wrong line. Oh look, it's Madge from Benidorm! I love that bluey, greeny cravat that Colin wore. Very nice. Sil's voice is so funny! Sounds like Louie Spence on a bad day! What's that green thing on Sil's chest though? I love the TARDIS scenes, and Peri is such a great companion. It's odd to hear the Doctor talking about his lives like that in the classic series. Similar to what Tennant said to Rose in School Reunion.

The Doctor is such a hypocrite! But that's one of the reasons that we like him so much. The acting of that woman who looks like River Song was so shit! Not as bad as Daisy's in the Great Gatsby though. The start kind of reminds me of The Rise of the Cybermen, because the Doctor has to land and go around to find something to power the TARDIS. Like the Daleks too.

The Doctor makes me laugh. "Ah. Who's this coming to welcome us?" Silly, Doctor! I just feel like pushing Sil off that tank of his. Just to see what he'd do! It's nice to see the Doctor getting on without his Sonic Screwdriver. They ought to take the Sonic out of Doctor Who for a while. It's over used!

Different to see someone doing the job of the audience. Clever. Different. But works well. What a twat?! Slapping Peri round the face. Bumder! Question marked braces. What a surprise! But it was a nice cliffhanger. And to hear the start of the credit music, it just sounds so great!

Funny watching the Doctor fight. Part two is so crap. My god it is so boring. I'm falling asleep, aha! Bloody hell! Peri is turning into a fucking cheetah! Those people need to make their mind up about the Doctor. Is he a friend or not???

I hate this 2 x 45 minute episodes format. It drags. Haha! Gently, gently! Hahahaha! Hilarious! I agree with Peri. Sil does need syonide! That didn't make much sense. The Doc and Peri went there to get possible fuel for the TARDIS, but leaves with nothing.

Overall, it was okay. Not bad, not good. 5/10, as I'm neutral. Thanks for spending your time to read this, and tomorrow will be my first Inbetweeners review. The first episode, First Day. See you!



Next Week's Reviews...


Spider-Man 3: Review

Bloody long opening theme. Had enough of that in Spider-Man. Tobey doing them bloody mouth movements! Stop it! Wait, is Harry stalking Pete? Nice to see elements of the first film in there.

Where did that black slime come from? That should have been explained properly. Paedophile? That man watching his daughter sleep. How strange?! 

AUNT MAY?! How could you think a ring was the sun? That fight was the best bit of the movie. The second best bit was the credits. Haha! Pete's face as he falls! And I hope your ring smashes and destroys, you knob! But how could nobody see Pete web swinging?

How could that man think that something of that size was a bird?? Gwen Stacy. Very pretty. Nice that she came back for the next franchise. Funny bit with the pills. Stan Lee's cameo wasn't as brief as I remember.

I love how Parker walks around thinking he's hard. Nice bit with Harry and MJ. Odd though. But Tobey's acting was absolute shite. That walk away was great with an explosion behind him!

Peter's bloody dancing. It's crap. But that scene with Venom in the church was impressive. Emotional scene with Aunt May. What a pervert. Looking into MJ's window.

There we are again... MJ taken hostage. Just like the previous two movies. Nice ending scene though. Sweet. Emotional final scene where Harry dies. Second movie with the ending in a funeral.

Overall, what do I think? It was crap. 4/10. Better than I remember. But still shite. Thanks for reading, I plan for my Amazing Spider-Man review to be up on Sunday. Also, I have a new page, so I will stop with these groups. I'll put up a link to the page when it's complete.

Time of the Doctor (Doctor Who): Review

Funny opening - Going to a Dalek spaceship with a broken bit of Dalek! Classic! Lovely costume. That lighter waistcoat is nicer than the darker one. Good OCD joke. Nice. I liked Handles too. He was funny every now and again.

Then the bit with the Daleks, kinda repeated with the Cybermen. I love the Cybermen. That design is lovely! I actually enjoyed Nightmare in Silver because of that! It was just hilarious.

Oh. The Powell estate. It's the Christms special of the 50th year, so lets use the same flats where Rose lived! What do I think about that? I'm not that bothered. What's wrong with it? The Doctor didn't bang on about Rose, so it's fine!

The bit with the Doctor being naked, wasn't needed. Not funny, not cool, not sexy... Just weird. Never do that again, Steven! Especially not with Capalid! I loved Matt's performance though. It's by far his best.

Why were the Silence in it? They were not needed, in any way. Although it'd be interesting to find out why they kept telling Clara to confess. What's she done? Not as bad as the Weeping Angels though! Front of that month's Doctor Who Magazine: Will the Doctor defeat the Daleks, Cybermen, Weeping Angels and the Silence before the end of his final life? It's stupid. The Cybermen were in two scenes. The Silence were just background monsters on the Doctor's side, and the Weeping Angels, you could barely even see them in their amount of screen time! Bloody stupid.

Then, the Doctor takes off his bloody hair! Bloody hell! It was rather funny! But not necessary in any way. Amy's crack, as Matthew Toffolo described it. Nice to have it explained that it was 'Amy's Crack' in the Doctor's room in the hotel. Nice twist. That reference to the Five Doctors was good. The Seal of the High Council of Gallifrey. That elderly make up was fantastic too. Must have been very time consuming. But effective.

I liked the return of the Drunk Giraffe too. Matt wanted to do that again for ages! And Barnable was so sweet, bless.

You wouldn't have thought that a scene with the death of a Cyberman head was so emotional, but it was. It's heartbreaking to see the main character of a TV show devastated after loosing their friend. Or is that just me?

One of my favourite scenes was when the Doctor was granted a new set of regenerations, through Amy's crack. So after burning off that regeneration, that makes Capaldi's incarnation the 15th. Anyway, the actual regeneration was lovely. I really nice farewell to Matt. Obviously he's known for his speeches, so when he says a final speech to Clara, and then Amy came down the steps, it just cracked me up! Get the joke? Crack? Never mind!

Overall, I give this immense story a very well earned 9.7/10. A fantastic contribution to the Whoniverse. My next review will be Spider-Man 3, up tomorrow. Firday's will be the Amazing Spider-Man and Saturday will have Shaun of the Dead. Sunday will be everything else planned for the week.

The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances (Doctor Who): Review

Now I know that this isn't a Vengeance review, but I don't have the DVD yet, but when it arrives, I'll review it.

Strange title sequence. You understand it more as you watch the episode. I love that music. It's just like a modern version of the old ones. I still prefer the Pertwee title sequence though. I really enjoy Eccleston's Doctor. Works well. And I love how he plays it. John Smith. Nice reference to the classic series. Great representation of World War II. 'Has anything fallen from the sky recently?' Haha! Made me laugh! A bloody cat becomes more important than Rose! Bless.

That child asking for his mummy was freaky. Sends a shiver down your spine! Typical Jack line! 'Excellent bottom!' I agree. The children desperate for food reminds me of Oliver. Not sure why. Probably because they're so hungry.

The Doctor made me laugh with his 'thanks miss'. I keep forgetting that Jack was originally Moffat's idea, even though Russell adapted him. Oh, Glen Miller. Fantastic musician. High tech binoculars for WW2. I love that Sonic Screwdriver prop too.

That growth of the gas mask, the CGI was superb! Great cliffhanger. Read on if you want, but there's spoilers!

'GO TO YOUR ROOM!' Chris is great as the Doctor. Enjoy this review so far? I'm trying to make it funny, but it's not funny at all, is it?! The Doctor's mental! Bananas are good!

Jack said Old Sport. Is that a reference to the Great Gatsby? I really like how Nancy and Rose get on. It seems like a very nice relationship. I think even though we know all about it, the shall we say 'gas mask people' are very scary. Moffat is excellent with villains.

Aww, you gotta feel sorry for Jamie though?! He's so sweet, bless him. You can have a happy ending every now and again in Doctor Who. But not when everything's rewritten, eh Hide!

Dr Constentine was funny. He was great! 'Who says I'm not, red bicycle when you were twelve' was one of the best lines in any episode ever! I loved this. It was so sweet! Bless the lot of them. John Barrowman was my highlight though. I love the way he flirts with everybody that he meets! That last scene was great with Glen Miller. Overall, I give it an 8.9/10. Tomorrow's review should be Time of the Doctor.

Next week's reviews...

So recently, I have only been reviewing Doctor Who stories. You can still expect them, but next week, I will review:
~ Spider-Man 3
~ The Amazing Spider-Man
~ Shaun of the Dead
~ The Inbetweeners: First Day
~ Sherlock: The Blind Banker

NOTE: These might not all be up for next Sunday. I'll try to review them ASAP, but it's difficult to find time. If there are any specific things that you want me to review, comment below.

I will do one of these every Sunday evening now. A post about what to expect for the following week.

Thanks guys. :P

Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS (Doctor Who): Review

Nice shot of the Doctor and Clara walking around the console. Works well. That bloody android voice does my head in. Fantastic effects. Though it's a very high budget. Nice shake at the start of the titles. Suits the episode. Matt can be very funny in this story. It's already great! Seeing them trying to crack the TARDIS doors open was great! Nice to see corridors of the TARDIS. It's also nice to see the Doctor closing the doors using a button on the console. Similar to the classic series.

Lovely room Clara goes in. First you see the Doctor's cot, used in A Good Man Goes to War, then a TARDIS toy that Amy made from The Eleventh Hour, and finally, the Seventh Doctor's umbrella. I'm glad that you don't see the zombies properly. They'd have ruined it, like they did in Hide. Funny bit where Clara runs past that telescope from Tooth and Claw.  Then the swimming pool, and then the Library. Then you hear the voices! Susan, Ben, Ace, the Fourth Doctor, the Ninth Doctor, Captain Jack, Ian and Martha. Lovely references. Surely that's all of them! It's not! A book about the Time War!

Okay, it's getting a little boring now. Haha! One of the men died! That's fantastic! It's already getting very complicated. Very difficult to understand. The Eye of Harmony? Why the feck is that there? I thought that it was destroyed, and they were relying on Rift Energy? Oh well.

Is it just me or does that double of Matt look nothing like him?! And that cloth thing that he's dusting with after. Similar to what Davison did in The Five Doctors.

So overall, I think this story's fantastic. I loved all of the references to previous episodes, but I wasn't too keen on the whole brothers plot. I'll give it an 8.7/10, and tomorrow's review will be Vengeance on Varos.

The Crimson Horror (Doctor Who): Review

Haha! Attack of the red paint! It terrifies me! The most horrific thing I've ever seen! Vastra's house looks fairly modern. Not Victorian in any way. Why does that man faint? I know it'd probably be a shock, but that veil can easily be seen through. I bloody hate Vastra, Strax and Jenny. How are they fan favourites? They're crap! I hope they'll be better in series 8. Nah. No chance. Have I said that I love those titles?

Strax isn't funny. As much as they try to make him funny, it'll never happen. Shame the Candyman wasn't in it. Diana Rigg was fantastic. She and her daughter were the only 2 good things about it really. No. There is a few more.

When that bloke faints the second time, I really do begin to worry that he'll carry on fainting throughout the whole story. Thank god that didn't happen! Matt's gurning was irritating. But I love that costume of his. Fantastic. The greeny tweedy frock coat really suited the story, and was definitely a positive. But when he kisses her... What the fuck? Seriously? What a bellend?!

Nice nod to the Davison era when he said that he spent a long time getting an Australian to Heathrow Airport. For any of you who don't know, that Australian was Tegan, who was one of the last companions of the 4th Doctor's era and one of the main companions of the 5th. Having something like that is quite nice in a piece of dog shite like this.

I loved Matt's attempt at a Yorkshire accent though. That made me giggle. The Thomas Thomas joke was lame. I would even say it was plain appalling. It's great that Strax comes in and starts killing everyone though. That's what a Sontaran does best!

When Mr Sweet pops out and appears to be sucking the top of Diana's tit and it just turns around, it was just hilarious! Utter bollocks, but hilarious! When Clara smashes the chair into that machine, it was the only thing she actually did to contribute towards the actual story!

That last faint was shit, as was those kids' acting. Overall, I thought it was crap. That's all I have to say. Utter bollocks. Tomorrow, I shall review Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS.

Army of Ghosts/Doomsday (Doctor Who): Review (CONTAINS SWEARING)

Crappy introduction. I just felt like saying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQYob6dpTTk. The spirit joke was quite funny. The sphere didn't look real, and the actors and actresses were extremely bad. Apart from the actress who plays Jackie. I liked the Ghost Busters reference. I love that film! That scene between Jackie and Rose was nice, but not perfect. I like how the whole series links together. Something they now do as a whole era! The Tenth Doctor's first time saying 'Allons-y!' Yvonne is rather irritating. The sets are quite nice though. Very impressive. I love that ending music when the Cybermen are revealed! I hate the Cyberman design though. It is proper crap! But it's a fantastic cliffhanger.

Bloody hell, Daleks! They just killed someone for no reason! Haha! That is great! It's so Dalek! Just like Evolution of the Daleks. Crap story, but fantastic death scene! I hated the bit in the parallel world though. Never liked it, I don't anymore, and I never will. Excellent scene with the Doctor and the Cult of Skaro. Then when the Doctor sonics all around him, those practical effects were fabulous. All of the scenes with the Daleks and Cybermen fighting are great! But the bit where Rose gets taken to the parallel world there are two things I think. The first is Why didn't Pete get pulled into the Void? And the second is: Hahahahaha!!!! And that's the en- Of for fuck's sake! End, you little piece of shite! That crappy ending scene is so annoying and is a waste of 15 minutes. The little bit with Donna was a nice secret, and was very funny.

Overall, what do I think? It was okay. The plot was alright, and I loved seeing the Daleks fight the Cybermen. But to be totally honest, it did remind me of dog shit. The emotional bits just made me laugh, and that last bloody scene didn't even need to be there. I see where people are coming from though. It can easily be emotional. I just didn't like Rose's character, and I'm glad she's gone. So I am very neutral with this episode. So I give it a 5/10. Not great, not awful. Just okay. So tomorrow, I will suffer through watching The Crimson Horror!

Remembrance of the Daleks (Doctor Who): Review

Interesting pre-title sequence. Nice though. They obviously didn't use them that often. That bloody radio that Ace carries! It just shows how much technology has changed since the late 80s! That young girl is weird. Something about hypnotized children that scares me. No idea why. I love that costume of McCoy's! It is fantastic, in the words of Eccleston. I love how the Doctor measures things with his umbrella too. I love the 7th Doctor. He's brilliant. Obviously Totter's Lane is a nod to An Unearthly Child, as it's the 25th Anniversary. When the Doctor say's that that military person is in the military and explains that he knows that because he's very perceptive, it makes me giggle, as this man is dressed in military clothing. The skeleton of the soldier when the Dalek shoots him, is great, for a first attempt. When the Doctor calls Group Captain Gilmore the Brigadier, that's amusing. 'Little green blobs in polycarbonate armour' is such a great line! The practical effects in this were great, and when the Dalek comes out of the metal shed type thing, I just think 'what an entrance'! The cliffhanger was excellent! I would have loved to be watching that when it first aired! Obviously iot looked great for a first flight!

I love that cream and gold design. It really looks great with McCoy. That dude in the coffee shop was hilarious. Not sure why. Just the fact that he smioles all the time I guess. The Doctor acts so strange from here on. It is rather odd. The whole plot of the Renegade Daleks vs the Imperial Daleks is fun to watch. It was great when Ace started to smash up that Dalek. That cliffhanger at the end of part 2 was great. How on earth will Ace get out of this one? The audience asks...

Obviously the Doctor rescues her and she's back safe and sound! But that claw that comes from the remains of the Dalek and strangles the Doctor. What a disrespectful git! Taking something from someone's grave to open another?! Davros sounds so strange!! That girl is a really bad actress too! That cliffhanger was rather dull. It is one of those rare times where the Doctor actually speaks to the audience.

I've always wondered how people do those lasso things. The inside of the ship was great. The way the Doctor spoke to that Dalek was quite funny. I love the special weapons Dalek. They should update it and bring it back. That'd be great! The slo-mo blow up was fantastic too. The space scenes were quite cool. Just a shame they don't look that real. When it was revealed that the Dalek Emperor was revealed to be Davros, it was a nice suprise. But I've watched it before twice, so yeah. Haha! 'Unlimited rice pudding' was another great line! It made me laugh when Davros saved himself. So much like Davros! The Doctor's speech was fantastic. That bloody girl's acting! And that fantastic effect with the Dalek. 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust'. A final great line for the story! I liked the Doctor Who ident thing on the TV.

Overall, it was great. I really loved it, and it being my first classic story, it is my favourite Dalek story. Which is biased I suppose. But it was fantastic. I give it a well earned 9.5/10. Tomorrow's review will be Army of Ghosts and Doomsday.

Warriors of the Deep (Doctor Who): Review (I Know it's not Spider-Man 3!)

Love that theme. I might have said that before though. The set design is magnificent. It looks absolutely fabulous! The way the Silurians speak is so great! They are easily my favourite Davison era villains. I would love a figure of that! Davison's hair looks quite different in this. He's obviously had his hair cut like Tennant did in The Stolen Earth. Not sure why I brought that up. I love that TARDIS set. It is so nice. I really dislike Turlough's character. He's just so irritating. I'm not very sure about all the military shite, but it doesn't let down the whole story. When the Doctor walks around, it reminds me of that adventure game, Shadows of the Vashda Narada. I love the Doctor's catchphrase 'when I say run, run. Run!' The cliffhanger was great. Just a shame it wasn't Turlough that drowned!

But how could the Doctor hold his breath for that long?! The Doctor and his companions are always get mistaken for intruders in the classic series. It gets a bit boring really. I don't really like it so far. Anyway, the cliffhanger was alright. Not as good as part one, but still fun.

The Sea Devils were quite crap in it. They walked like penguins with something wrong with them! I love how that woman thinks that she can destroy the Myrka by kicking it. I also love how the Doctor is so calm about harming Nilson's eyesight. Fantastic cliffhanger. It was expected though...

Obviously Ichtar doesn't have anything wrong with the Doctor. I'm not sure whether I like it or not. The death of that Sea Devil was quite funny, and when the green stuff came out, it just looked strange. The last scene shows how much the Doctor really cares, and how much he really does hate death.

Overall, it was just like any other 20th Century story, in the way that it got better as it went on. It was very under-rated, in my opinion and I give it a well earned 6.7/10. Tomorrow's review will be Remembrance of the Daleks, but might not even be up tomorrow. It will definitely be up for Wednesday though.

The Claws of Axos (Doctor Who): Review

So they ruined the whole story by having that weird zooming in and out with the Axons. Oh well. I love that costume of the Brig's! And the Doctor's costume too. It's just such a nice colour theme. Just a shame he didn't stick with it for the whole story! That tramp wandering around was quite funny. But I'm not sure why he's so popular! The CSO of the frog wasn't that good, and the cliffhanger wasn't great either due to it being ruined at the start.

Bill got quite irritating in episode 2. The cliffhanger of episode 2 was fantastic, and really did keep me wondering!

Episode three now, and it is getting fantastic. Watching Jo get old was fun, as she is a lot older now anyway, and she still looks great for her age! Roger Delgado was fantastic, as was Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, and of course Nicholas Courtney. Roger put on the best performance though. The cliffhanger was okay.

Katy Manning's acting did get worse as the story went on. I'm not sure that I like the effect put over the top of the video. I didn't really think the plot was any good, and overall, I give it a 6/10. My next review'll be Spider-Man 3.

The Keeper of Traken (Doctor Who): Review

Okay, so I know it's late, but I wrote this review up yesterday. But my laptop went out of charge! So for the first two parts, it was great. A little slow, but having a story start in the TARDIS is very nice, as that didn't happen much in them days. The Keeper was quite odd looking, but I suppose he was meant to be like that. As Anthony Ainley played Tremus, I began to think it was the Master. But then I realized that (SPOILERS!!!) the Master took Tremus' body. (END OF SPOILERS) So the Melkur was fantastic, and I loved it. Even though it wasn't a villain itself. But the way that it walked was really strange!

The cliffhanger of episode 2 was very good. When the Melkur says "It's only beginning" it just got me so excited for the third part. But it wasn't even that impressive. The effect when Tremus reaches into the wall was fantastic! It looked to realistic! It would have been nice if we saw more of Geoffrey Beevers or however you spell his name. The cliffhanger wasn't great. The Master's TARDIS materialising and becoming Keeper?

The TARDIS' console was gorgeous! As was the Doctor's costume. I'm surprised I haven't mentioned it yet. The last scene was nice, where Tremus' body was taken from him by the Master.

Overall, I thought the story was alright. I give it an 8/10, due to a little bit of drag!
