Madagascar 2: Escape to Africa – Film Review December 22, 2008

5/5*s

This film is hilarious – I really loved it. The King Julien had me in tears (laughing tears!) from start to finish, as did David Schwimmer’s character, Melman. Obviously this is, strictly speaking, a kid’s film, but if you liked the first one, this is just as good, and it’s great to see all the fantastically funny characters again The sound track is very entertaining, as well.

 

My only criticism would be that it was too short, but I suppose the bloody kids would get impatient otherwise! But seriously, a great family film, I recommend it and will be buying it when it comes out on DVD.

A lack of Facebook… March 10, 2008

A few weeks ago I signed out of Facebook for the last time (for a while)… I’ve given it up for Lent. Lent seemed to coincide too well with my dissertation writing period for it to be a coincidence, and with the social networking site gradually taking over my life I grabbed the opportunity to have a break from it. At first I was at a loss… which web address should I mindlessly type into my browser after checking my email? Now, though, I am relieved. I must say I was getting a bit worried for my sanity – how could a normal person be such a stalker!? Most people probably aren’t as unhealthily obsessed with “facebooking” as I was and don’t empathize with my problem. I needed some boundries! I think I probably will return after Easter, but hopefully by then Facebook’s spell over me will have been broken.

My first blog…. December 11, 2007

I have decided to write a blog about bits and bobs which I think are worth mentioning. I have just been inspired to write this by the Channel 4 program “The Sex Blog Girls”, which is still on and is a bit funny! Don’t worry though, this is not a sex blog! Just a regular blog. I am slightly worried that writing this will distract me from all the work I have to do during the third year of my degree, but I can’t really get much more distracted at the moment!
