More Short Film Reviews!

( Some more short film reviews! (short reviews, not short films!) )

Well that ends this series of film reviews on a high note! I seem to have rated most of them quite highly, but I think its because unlike books I tend to watch more films which I know I’ll like, rather than how I read books, which is just because they sound interesting. I will probably watch a couple more on Friday night (woo for a quiet night in on New Year when its expensive and crowded, and yay for going out on Saturday when theres room to dance and its cheaper!). I am really really really looking forward to seeing the Kings Speech, which I think comes out on 7th January, but apart from that I’m not sure what other films are out next year. I will have to have a look and check if there are any good ones!

Gig Reviews

I have almost caught up on my reviews for this year – which is good as it’s nearly the next! Its not a chore to do these reviews, its just that sometimes I feel like I’m not in the mood to write as well as I could do, so I like to wait until I’m in a writing mood! Unfortunately it means that these gig reviews are really late, as I just didn’t feel like I could do them justice. I might actually post some pictures as well – I know I always say that, but I have some great ones of the March Violets gig that I should really post!

( Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and Luxury Stranger at Slimelight, 16th October 2010 )

( The March Violets / James Ray’s Gangwar / Faderhead, 13th November 2010 )

( Not really a gig, but...Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella, Sadler’s Wells, 28th December 2010 )

So that’s it for the gig reviews. This year hasn’t been too good for gigs – I haven’t been to as many as usual, and most of them were bands that I’d already seen before. Next year is already looking excellent though, I’ve got tickets for the following already:

Murderdolls – 12th February (not seen since 2003!)
Rob Zombie – 16th February (woooooo! never seen before!!)
Blancmange :D :D – 15th March (never thought I’d ever see!! Wooo!!)
Bloodstock – 11th – 14th August (Immortal! Haha! I don’t even really know much of their music, but I’m excited about it anyway!!)
The Mission – 22nd October (never seen before!)

I’m also probably going to:

Nachtmahr / Uberbyte – 5th February
Resistanz festival in Sheffield – Covenant, And One, Uberbyte, Suicide Commando and many more!
Manowar if they announce any other dates other than Birmingham!! (such a random place to play! Why not London! Boo!)
DV8 - July – I actually want to go on holiday to York around this festival as I’ve never been there before and it looks lovely, but just need to persuade others to go so it’s cheaper to book a flat / cottage / house.
Whitby – October

Ooh I’m excited about it all already! :)
