Agents of SHIELD

Well the pilot has been met with a lot of negative opinions. I personally liked it. Wasn't the most amazing thing on telly, but it was enjoyable. Plus it's only the first episode and it piqued my interest. Many questions need to be answered over the series, the biggest of which is what really happened with Coulson?

I think there will be great character development. I mean Coulson was a bit part in Iron Man and now he has enough fans to warrant a TV show centering around him. I immediately disliked the hacker girl. She had amusing one liners but she was pushy and egotistical, she not only thought she was smarter than everyone, she thought she was a better human being. A conspiracy theorist with a Messiah complex. This tones down and I think Coulson seeing potential in her makes her more tolerable. I can maybe see myself even liking her eventually. I'm reserving judgement on the others. I was a little thrown by the science couple. Random choice of accents but then hey look at Stargate Atlantis!

A lot of people have had issues with the plot, I won't go into detail so as not to spoil it. This may be a case of expecting too much, it may be a case of knowing the background too well. Like when a film is spoilt because you know the book inside out. But hey I liked it! Maybe I'm just more easily pleased?

Overall I'd say it's an enjoyable way to spend an hour, just don't expect something the level of Avengers. I look forward to seeing how it turns out. I expect better things!

Monster's University Letterman Jacket

So ebay can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Horror stories galore and yet it's a popular site. Well as soon as I saw the bright blue letterman jacket of Monsters University I knew I wanted one,

The search began with the Disney store. I wanted to know all my options. There is an actual website where you can "enrol"  http://monstersuniversity.com/edu/ kids will enjoy this website, there's also a store but no letterman jackets!

So after messing about on that website, I'm a big kid after all! I decided I could try and make my own. So to ebay. A cosplayers best friend. And basically it turns out its cheaper to buy one pre made really.

Ebay prices change but currently this particular jacket stands at £19.99 and £2.99 delivery. It arrived promptly (Shipped from Leeds)

The quality is top. Nice and fleecey on the inside, soft cotton outside. I've had it a few weeks now and the patch is still solid, no peeling, I've yet to wash it though. Nice and warm. Great colour.

Available in many sizes from kids to adult. I'm 5ft7 and a size 8. I got a size small. Fits nicely. Baggy but it's supposed to be a bit big.

Overall yes I would recommend it.

Blog: The World is Mysterious

http://theworldismysterious.wordpress.com/

Rarely would I take the time to review a blog, but then never have I seen a mix of interesting little known topics, with understandable Chaos Theory sections.

So the blog is split into two categories: One is Chaos Theory as aforementioned, the other is Wonders of the World.

Have you heard of Cenotes? I certainly hadn't. I think you should read it for yourself, but the highlights are Mayan sacrifice, under earth linked waterways, and dinosaurs! Read on: http://theworldismysterious.wordpress.com/category/wonders-of-the-world/

Now this may be a little more difficult to persuade you to read. Chaos Theory. The name sounds ridiculous but bear with me, you don't have to understand it to enjoy the applications. CGI is a product of fractals. Fractals is just one are of Chaos Theory, a particularly brilliant and beautiful area!

Oh and any Star Wars/Spaced fans will appreciate Chaos Theory.

This blog is still pretty new but I look forward to seeing where it will go. It's wonderful the way he writes is academic but understandable. It's like picking up your favourite book only to find a new story.

City of God

Rarely do I enjoy other people's favourite films as much as I enjoyed this. When watching old classics the more you're expected to love it, the less I want to. And sometimes it's only with extra viewings away from the pressure that you find the appreciation said film deserves. An excellent example of this is Bladerunner. I really disliked it first time I watched it. I could see that it had a great scope of influence on future works but as a film it wasn't for me. I do like it more now, but I wish I'd discovered it on my own.

So to City of God. I was nervous. It's my boyfriend's favourite film ever and I had never heard of it. But it was his birthday and so I bought it for him and hoped I'd enjoy it when the time came to watch it.

I needn't have worried. The film is really something! It's gritty without being depressing. There are so many strong personalities in the film. The plot is extensive but easy to follow. It reads almost like a book. There are chapters, and within those are sections of the story that are easily digested.

For a film with gangsters, it avoids stereotypical threats and cheesy lines. In fact some of the gangsters are more like hippies. There are comedic elements but also some incredibly dark scenes.

This is such a short review but I wouldn't want to spoil a thing.

One short note: The film is subtitled, I know some people hate that, but this really is wonderful.
