Oh dear it's been a while...

And so much has happened. My apologies, uni yet again took control of my life. while I was gone there was the Wolverine movie, Star Trek, Doctor Who's first tv special of the year and Terminator Salvation, all of which I shall comment upon to catch up.

First shall be the Wolverine movie. I loved it. Couldn't give a toss about it messing with canon, I dont know about everyone else but I go to see a movie to entertain me, I was entertained, job well done. I'm a big Gambit fan but his lack of accent didnt phase me at all, I thought he was cute, thought the character was funny, I was again a happy customer. The one thing that did irk me a bit was the very shitty effect when Wolverine is looking at his claws in the bathroom, thats called slopy effects and it really detracted from the scene. Loved the **spoilers** cameo with Professor Xavier, but again some poor de-aging effects. I was also absolutely delighted with John Wraith, he was soooo good so kudos to Will-I-Am, I was honestly a bit iffy about his casting but he really truly proved me wrong. So thumbs up from me, I really loved it, probably give it 8/10.

Ok so on to Star Trek. I have to say I was really pumped for this movie and it really truly delivered. I enjoyed every second of the movie and was sad when it ended. I wanted more, I still want more and am very glad that there will be a sequel. Special mentions for Zachary Quinto and Anton Yelchin for being especially brilliant as Spock and Chekov (god his taking-the-piss Russian accent was hilarious). All the cast are pretty exceptional , I really liked John Cho as Sulu, Uhura shit me a little, however Eric Bana's Nero was pretty freaky, very insane guy( I am biased though, being from the same city and all I tend to love his work). My only problem with the movie was that Data wasn't in it, which I can live with, and that the writers were too lazy to adhere to their own prequel comics. If you're going to write a comic to lead up to your movie please dont contradict the events from it within the flim, it's sloppy writing and it shits me. Also if you haven't read the comics, please do, they're pretty good and explain the events in the movie a lot better than the film has time to. I'd rate Star Trek 9/10.

Yay now for some Doctor Who. The Planet of the Dead only aired here a couple of weeks ago so I'm technically not late with this review. I love David Tennant's Doctor, he is everything I'd want to marry; smart, quirky, funny and incredibly hot. The first of the Tenth Doctor's final specials did not dissapoint at all, it was a wonderful mix of fun, mystery and adventure. I thought Christina was a wonderfully different companion to use, but I'm also glad she's only in one special. She was a fun character but over confidence had started to shit me by the end much like Rose has since the start of season 2. Dont get me wrong, I did like Rose, before she turned into a smug pain in the arse. I honestly wanted to hit her in the second last episode of season 4, she did bloody nothing for the whole two specials! Mickey did more than she did! But anyways back to the special, really loved the reuse of Arissa Mugumbo from last years Turn Left as our UNIT rep for this eppie, as well as Malcolm and I really hope they bring them both back soon. The story itself was pretty cool, bus transported onto another world with flying creatures that eat everything, but the characters where what really drove the whole thing. The only thing it was missing was Ross. They should find a way to bring him back (yes I do know that they killed him, but since when has that ever stopped any character on this show), bring in his cousin or twin brother or something, he was cute. 9/10 from me, I'm so pumped for the next one, cant believe we have to wait till November.

And finally to Terminator Salvation, because of Australia's later release date I only saw this last week after having been swamped by reports of its shittiness. I think everyone was wrong about this, I really liked the movie. Sure it wasn't the best thing I had ever seen, but neither were the other terminator movies so I didn't care. It has Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin and Helena Bohman-Carter in it, what more do you people want. Worthington was the one thing people who reviewed this movie got right, he was indeed freaking brilliant, but he has been for quite a while. Thats right everyone, I've known about him for years, and if you want to see him at his best (and David Wenhams as well) go watch Gettin Square. I promise you will laugh your way through the whole movie, it's fantastic. Anyway Terminator was very good, lots of explosions, robot fighting, a hot chick, hot guys and even a cute little mute girl. I mean, seriously, WHAT MORE DID YOU PEOPLE WANT? I would give this 8/10.

So now I think I'm pretty much up to date. I'll be going to see the Star Wars exhibition they have at scienceworks in the next couple of weeks so I might tell you how that goes. Oh and I'd just like to say thank you to Outpost Gallifrey for all their wonderful Doctor Whoing over the years and to mourn their upcoming closing of their news page and forum, I'll be moving with lots of people to Gallifrey Base and will actually make an attempt to post this time instead of just reading what everyone else is saying.
