Oceans 13 quick review:

I saw Oceans 13 on Monday, but i haven't been able to write about it, because I've been busy looking for a job and doing the odd job around the house.

Anyway the film, I've read alot reviews saying that it is better or as good as Oceans Eleven (a film that i really like), and i have to disagree i don't think it is better. It looks to me that they just tried to copy and paste oceans Eleven and try to change it a bit so that it doesn't look to blatant.

we begin the film with one of the crew being swindled out of a deal by Al pacino, like all villains he has a weakness and the oceans crew, decide to get revenge by exposing his weaknesses. The other Crew members suggest killing him but this film is all about honor, which means they can't do that.

Each of the cast are given a nice chunk of screen time to show what they can, but most of the screen time is taken up by the George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon (for some reason everytime i see matt damon, i always think of that character out of Team America).

They're smug as ever. They all have parts to play in the heist but George clooneys character is the mastermind behind it all, and he plays the character really well.

I wouldn't say there is a stand out moment in the film, only that there is a scene which involves a mini revolution in mexico, which made me laugh, but the rest of the film is very slick and stylish due to the camera work and performances from the main actors.

I think this film has a bit too much style over the substance, but it is a good watch ...but not as good as Oceans Eleven.

I'm back ...

YAY, my car actually made it to sheffield and back to Rochester, what a relief. Anyway the trip to sheffield was as good as ever.

Me and 4 of my mates went to sheffield, so i had a packed car, i thought my car would struggle alot on the motorway, but to my surprise it actually drove well, although it would start shaking if i drove in excess of 100 mph, so i stuck to a speed of 80-90mph on the motorways. The journey there took around 4 hours, which probably would of been less if we didn't make a stop at a service station on the M1 and get stuck in pockets of traffic on the motorway.

Later that night we went to a club called Embrace, i think it was called Kingdom before, as people were calling it Kingdom but when we got there the sign said Embrace ...no sign of Kingdom. Anyway we got into the club at around 11 and around 12 the club was packed, and it was visible that there were a lot more girls than guys at the club which is always gonna good, and all the girls looked great.




















Embrace is a nightclub made up of 5 rooms 2 main halls and 3 smaller rooms, as you can ...kinda see in the picture above, what struck me that seemed different was that one room had anime pictures everywhere on the walls, i didn't recognise any of them except for this naruto picture i saw there.

I would suggest anyone who has been clubbing down south, to go clubbing up north, because it is alot more better, me and 4 of my mates got in to the club as a group, that would never happen in central london ...you'd be lucky to get into a club let alone with your mates in a central london club, and the drinks are cheaper and overall the people are friendlier so theres a lot less hostility.


We ended up getting thrown out of the club (LOL) ...not because we caused any trouble but because my mate drank a bit much and fell a sleep ...yes he fell a sleep in the club ...the idiot, the bouncers could of left him there but they had to chuck him out because they had nothing better to do. oh well, other than that it was a good night.

the next day we lumbered out of bed and strolled down sheffield town centre ...just to check it out as we had nothing else to do, the rest of the day we were goofing around while a couple of my mates were dealing with hangovers.

Later that night we went to a drum and bass bar, which was kinda irritating as the music gave me a headache, after an hour we went to a strip club (LOL), the strip club is how you would expect it and we left it at around 2.30.

the next day was just a lazy aftermath of the night before, and we left sheffield at 8.45 in the evening and got back at around midnight.

Going Sheffield again..

Yeh thats right, i'm going sheffield again. There isn't really a reason for going, i'm just bored at the moment (i really should work on my portfolio ...ah well), and my mate who is studying there invited me to go up, so i couldn't help, but say yes i'll come up.


















Hopefully my car will last the Journey there and back (fingers crossed). I'll let ya'all know what happened up there, hopefully it'll be like last time.
