Ride Along 2: In cinemas!

With the sequel to the first Ride Along in cinemas last week, people are queuing up to buy tickets. From the trailer and its predecessor it seems like the perfect sequel to come out in cinemas for a long time. Check out the trailer, trust me you'll enjoy it...

Before I talk about the ratings let me tell you a bit about the story line. The two soon-to-be-brothers-in-law, Ben Barber (played by Kevin Hart) and James Payton (played by Ice Cube) are in Miami attempting to bust a drug ring. Let me just remind you that this a few days before Ben's wedding to Angela Payton, James' sister. In Miami, with the help of computer hacker A.J. (played by Ken Jeong) and homicide detective Maya Cruz (played by Olivia Munn) they find out that a well respected businessman Antonio Pope (played by Benjamin Bratt) is in fact the leader of the ring in South Florida. This leads them into many comical situations.

But then again, this duo is funny in any situation...

But from the reviews I've been seeing, it seems to me like there is no point in buying a cinema ticket just to watch it. AND what more is that even the ratings are really low, worse than the first one, much worse in fact. 

Ratings:

IMDb: 5.8/10

RottenTomatoes: 12%

Metacritic: 32%

Deadpool Release on 12 Feb!

The date for the release of Deadpool is set for 12 February so we have less than two weeks to go! I can't wait since I've been looking forward to this since last year. Check out how amazing it is through the trailer below...

See what I mean? Ryan Reynolds portrays Deadpool perfectly as the fun and deadly superhero. We hadn't heard of him since 'X-men Origins: Wolverine' where he plays the mercenary Wade Wilson as part of the government's mutants fighting squad. The film ended with Ryan Reynolds being turned into his alter ego Deadpool after going through multiple operations to make him the perfect mutant. In the last scene, it can be seen that Deadpool is still alive despite Wolverine cutting off his head.

The story line is supposedly that Wade Wilson has multiple organ failures and is forced to go through surgery (unfortunately it doesn't quite follow the 'Wolverine' story) on nearly all of his major organs. Throughout this experimental ordeal he has the support of his girlfriend Vanessa aka Copycat, played by Morena Baccarin, who stays by his side through the procedure that gives him his powers.

After the procedure, Deadpool hunts down the person responsible for ruining his life. Throughout the film he is often assisted by his best friend Weasel, played by T J Miller. Despite his dark humor Deadpool is a character with a very dark and sad past, it almost makes us hope he didn't go through it. But without that, how would we have the Deadpool that we all love so much?

DeLorean: Going back to the past!

The DeLorean may have only been in production for a short span of two years but those were so influential that they have decided to go back to them. Thanks to the change in US law the 1980s car will be placed back in production in 2017, with the gull-winged doors!

The car was immortalised by the movie franchise 'Back to the Future' in 1985 and is beginning to come back in a factory in Texas by the new DeLorean Motor Company. the new company does not have many links to the original one run by John DeLorean.

The design itself will be the exact same with improvements to the numerous parts (there are about 3,000 parts to be used) to make the new car more efficient and powerful. According to the company, there are currently only plans to make 300 of these cars and each will be about £65,000. Much to the  joy of hardcore 'Back to the Future' fans, the cars will be made from the parts that were used on the original DeLoreans when they went out of commission in 1983. 

With new and modernised parts and a stronger engine, with a larger amount of horsepower, fans can only dream of what the car will look like. The production has not yet started but the planning stages are well underway as the initiative has been trying to get through since 2008. 

We can only hope that the new cars have a fitted time machine and can also travel to the future!

Supernatural Season 11 episode 10: The Devil in the Details

Let me just start off by saying how much I love Supernatural! It's one of my top ten TV shows that must be watched till they're finished. Rewinding back a few months to 7th October last year, season 11 was finally released! Check out the trailer if you haven't watched it...

After Sam gets rid of Dean's mark, the Darkness is released. Also known as Amara, the Darkness is found out to be God's sister (even I have to admit that plot twist was not within my range of stuff to expect from the show). Played by Emily Swallow, the character is perfect for being a cold being who somehow manages to get our sympathies for being locked away by her own brother. As it turns out she grows by devouring souls whole and doesn't even die after being struck by the holy power of the angels. She's out for vengeance while also having a strange attraction to Dean, the other bearer of the Mark of Cane. 

As everyone was saying before the release, Lucifer is indeed back. Sam goes to hell in episode 9 with the help of Crowley and his mother. But another plot twist...when Dean and Castiel get down there to help him out, Lucifer jumps into Castiel's body without them noticing. Now in episode 11 he's out and at full power (or at least close to it since he can't be stopped). Of course that is so unlike Misha Collins' lighthearted and lovable Castiel nature.

So we have God's sister and the Devil running loose on Earth too. Just makes you wonder when is God himself making an appearance? Be sure to comment and tell me your thoughts.

David Bowie: Loss of the world of music

A few weeks ago, the world of music lost one of its most famous idols: David Bowie. David Bowie died at the age of 69 from cancer. Just four days later, another famous actor Alan Rickman, Serverus Snape from Harry Potter, died for the same reason, pancreatic cancer. Coincidence?

David Bowie was a figure in popular music for over five decades and was considered as an innovator by many critics and other musicians, particularly for his work in the 1970s. As well as being a singer song write, he was also

David Bowie was actually born David Robert Jones, on 8th January 1947 in Brixton, South London, England. Despite receiving a serious injury, in a fight over a girl, from his friend George Underwood, Bowie was left with faulty depth perception and a permanently dilated pupil which gave a false impression of a change in iris colour. Despite their altercation, Underwood and Bowie remained good friends, and Underwood went on to create the artwork for Bowie's early albums.

Bowie formed his first band at the age of 15, playing guitar-based rock and roll and it was known as the Konrads. Bowie left the Konrads to join another band, known as the King Bees, where Bowie managed to release his first debut single ‘Liza Jane’.

Dissatisfied with his stage name ‘Davy Jones’, Bowie renamed himself after the 19th century American frontiersman Jim Bowie. After the changing of his name, Bowie moved on to work with more musicians such as Bill Fury, and he undertook small tours with Marc Bolan’s duo Tyrannosaurus Rex.

On 11th July 1969, 5 days ahead of the Apollo 11 launch, “Space oddity” was released. This was Bowie’s first successful single and reached the top 5 in the UK. Check it out...

From here, Bowie went onto undertake more tours, launching his Ziggy Stardust stage show with the Spiders of Mars in 1972. “Aladdin Sane”, released in 1973, topped the UK chart and became Bowie’s first number one album.

One of his last songs was Lazarus, released in 2016 from the album 'Blackstar'. It was a vividly moving experience just days after his death. Check it out and be sure to comment on which of Bowie's songs was your favorite.
