Iron Man 2

Film three, Iron Man 2. I enjoyed this one as well, but after the first Iron Man, I kind of knew I would. There's a lot going on in this film, and a lot of characters who don't really have enough to do. Tony Stark himself is slowly dying, poisoned by his artificial heart, which ironically, keeps him alive. Pepper…

On to film two! Before I watched this film I wasn't actually sure if I had seen it or not. I knew I'd seen the Eric Bana one from a few years previously (I enjoyed it immensely, loved the comic-book stylings), but I wasn't at all sure if I had seen this one. As soon as it started it became…

This is it, the first part of Avengers Week here on Waves! Iron Man then. First of all I have to say that Robert Downey Jr. is perfectly cast in this film, he steals every scene that he is in. I could not imagine anyone else portraying Tony Stark more accurately than this man. Cocky and arrogant but confident and…

The recent spate of Marvel films

Posted inBooks, Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
I am going to watch them. I will call it: Avengers Week. Have a shitty graphic in putrid colours and Comic Sans. Starting with Iron Man, then The Incredible Hulk (the one with Edward Norton in it, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it), then Iron Man 2, then Thor, then Captain America (which I'm not looking forward to if…

You know, it'll be a sad day when Amy and Rory stop travelling with The Doctor. They've brought some of the most hilarious Doctor Who comedy moments so far, and some really intense, dark and emotional resonances. I love how Amy is so feisty, it leads to some interesting confrontations with The Doctor. It was pretty funny how Rory died…

Football!

I don't usually talk about football (I think the last time I did, it was about football shirts), but the new season is almost upon us and it looks to be an interesting one. I follow a few teams, for a variety of reasons. Rangers (because of the family ties), Southampton (because I used to live there but now live…

Taking stock

After the madness of my cousins wedding and the holiday with the boys, I feel I need to streamline my existence, have a good sort out and tidy everything up. I started today (whilst catching up on Peep Show - the tail end of series 6 and start of series 7), just general organisational things really, and I have next…

Ben 10

Posted inFilms/TV, Reflections, VideogamesNo Comments
The boys love Ben 10, and I must admit, I am kind of smitten with it myself, it being created by some of my favourite comic creative types (Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle). After a bit of research, I noticed that Ben 10 games tended to be pretty easy, Achievement-wise, so my interest was piqued.…

Holiday 2012: Day 5

Posted inFilms/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments
Day five was to be our last day on the Isle of Wight, but our ferry wasn't until 4:30, so we had time to have one last cool day. Packing everything into the car was speedy and efficient, Jane is very good like that. Our first stop of the day was at Robin Hill. It had some nice woodland, cool…

Gamersc-whore

In the last few days I've made huge progress on my Gamerscore target. I've gone from near 74,000 to almost 76,000 thanks to a couple of proper easy games. I would say shit games, but one of them was quite good. Megamind was horse-shit, but it only took me around 4 hours to get the 1000. Cloudy With A Chance…
