Movie Review

Movie review that I did for MIX FM 93.8FM (South Africa) Streaming Audio www.mixfm.co.za

23 August 2011 @ 10h47

Cinema - COWBOYS AND ALIENS

A star studded cast that sets the movie in 1875 New Mexico Territory. A stranger (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear! But Absolution is about to experience fear it can scarcely comprehend as the desolate city is attacked by flying object and aliens. Now, the stranger they rejected is their only hope for salvation.

As this gunslinger slowly starts to remember who he is and where he's been, he realizes he holds a secret that could give the town a fighting chance against the alien force.

In my opinion, its a film that does entertain - by seeing a cowboy leap off a horse to jump on a spaceship, but it doesn’t live up to the full on madness potential the of the title. – I wondered why has there never been a film about cowboys beating up aliens? This movie will give you a pretty good idea!

Must admit that I am sure the boys and men will love the action that can only be in a cowboys vs aliens movie!
Its a simmering 5 outa 10 for me.

THE SCRIPT

(Picture taken by THE SCRIPT of the biggest crowd they have ever played to - 24 June 2011 Jburg RSA)

The wintery night was freezing and I was hoping this show would be worth going out in the cold?
South African band THE ARROWS opened for the band playing a few of their song (No Robots) and a new single, they also had a drum-dance off :) these girls are rockers and silly at the same time. They ever did a little Irish dance with Irish folk music to welcome The Script on stage.

We were ready!!

Green lights cascaded on the ceiling and Irish charm filled Coca Cola dome with The Script performing to their biggest audience ever!!! I was apart of that crowd of 18500 SOLD OUT SHOW - 24 June 2011 - Here is my account of what happened :)

Their sounds is perfect and feels like u have it tuned up load in your car!!!

Opening with 1. THIS I PROMISE YOU
Crowd clapping hands and ready - screams filled air
2. TALK YOU DOWN
3. WE CRY
Danny going off the stage to the front row of screaming fans. He asked them to sing along instead all you saw on the screen was grabbing hearing screams and "I LOVE YOU" guess they forgot the words getting so close to Danny

As he got back on stage he was honest and said "She tried to rip my fucken trousers off" - even asked if we mind being called Joburg - they feel like they fooken knw us already" :)
4. IF YOU EVER COME BACK
5. BEFORE THE WORST
6. IF YOU SEE KAY
He actually recorded himself on ppls fones!!! How awesome must that be to get home!!! And see him again on YOUR PHONE - Damm wish I was closer!

7. THE END WHERE I BEGIN
Drums beat though ur whole body to your boots and little toes :)
8. SCIENCE AND FAITH
Bra's on stage with numbers _ big bra "think u bragging"
They said its a HONOUR - "we feel like we are a fooken biggest band ever bcos of u"
9. MAN THAT CAN'T BE MOVED (This is one song that every person was singing at the top of their lungs - as I was singing my heart out with the biggest crowd they have ever performed to, my mind wondered abt how much that chemistry must have been to feel so much love and write a song... Its like the chemistry here at this show;

After the song the band took a moment - just stood their smiling and totally absorbed the moment!!! Loved their humble smiles and kept thinking how special this moment is.

Danny confessed that the next song was be one of their drunk - middle of the night - jamming song writing products ;)
As the dome darkened Danny and Glen (drummer) came on stage with guitars for an acoustic set of 10. I'M YOURS

By now the crowd was total putty in their hands - as Mark (guitarist) came on stage with beer is hand, the Irish man, being himself spoke to the crowd asking if u have a drink to cheers to ourselves :) He then checked if we understood him (crowd laughing)
Mark mentioned tht they partied jhb style - they had a hard time in the morning :)
They asked about Drunk Dailing - being one myself I knew the next song was a sing-along.
Mark spoke about how they try and Heal Danny's heart with a pint or too but he always becomes a "confident" drunk and always drunk dials :)
11. NOTHING (Crowd giving it their all singing along)
12. DEAD MAN WALKING
13. RUSTY HALO (This song raised the roof)14. FOR THE FIRST TIME (These times are hard sung repeatedly afterwards with the crows chanting)
15. THIS IS LOVE

They ended off with 16. BREAKEVEN and the crowds left satisfied that they saw The Script, that we were part of something truly special - The Script gave a sterling performance!
Made this frosty winter melt (Coming from a non-fan I have changed my mind about them) - they are not the usual sad love songs band, they are true artist. Humble real and going to go far if they stay grounded - WATCH THE SCRIPT in a few years time I think they will be bigger than ever, they are the future or Irish music and might one day be among the likes of U2 and Van Morrison that put Ireland on the map in the music industry!

Thank you The Script that made my weekend xoxo CC

Weekend

What a weekend!

Friday night was Poker with some friends, needless to say I think boys should be playing poker and not us girls. We just chatted the whole night, never really cared for the game, much to the annoyance of the men. Oh well at least we know now, that next time we will have segregation to prevent irritation – Hahaha.

Saturday was a good day at gym, finally broke my Biking Target of 10km in 18.27 minutes (Under 20 minutes). I was truly so proud of myself, it has taken me over 2 weeks to get there! Also planned a routine for the next two weeks, finally getting swimming in on weekends – BIKINI BODY ON THE WAY!!!

Later in the evening we headed to the State Theatre to watch Ballet of Romeo and Juliet (SABT) it was amazing. I have never seen a live ballet and was moved to tears, this has been on my bucket list for a year now – so great feeling to get it off the list.

Sunday was date night as well – Dinner and movies. Hangover 2 was AWESOMELY FUNNY! If you didn’t mind the crude and rude it was totally enjoyable.

So its Manic Monday – Back to work with this winter chill I would much rather wanted to stay snuggled in bed!

MARMITE BANNED IN DENMARK

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13536479

By law, Danish authorities must give their permission for products with such additives to be sold.

In recent years they have banned several well-known items - including the chocolate malt drink Ovaltine and some breakfast cereals.

Already a shop in Copenhagen has been ordered to remove jars of the British delicacy from its shelves.

BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris says there are suggestions that the Danish ban could break European law.

Outraged expats in Denmark are threatening a campaign of civil disobedience, he says.

Nutritionist Melanie Brown told the BBC she believed a ban on Marmite, which is rich in B-vitamins, as well riboflavin and niacin, was counterproductive.

Continue reading the main story

Marmite Ingredients

Yeast Extract
Salt
Vegetable Extract
Niacin
Thiamin
Spice Extracts
Riboflavin
Folic Acid
Celery Extract
Vitamin B12

Source: Marmite website

"Marmite plays such a useful part in many people's diet, and in my practice it's incredibly useful for older people...who are short in vitamin B-12.

"It's full of folic acid, and there's lots of evidence that many women, young women of child-bearing age are deficient in folic acid," she said.

Kelloggs withdrew some brands of breakfast cereal from the country after the legislation passed in 2004 but Marmite had previously escaped unnoticed, reports the UK's Guardian newspaper.

"What am I supposed to put on my toast now?" the newspaper reported British advertising executive Colin Smith, who has lived in the country for six years, as saying.

"I still have a bit left in the cupboard, but it's not going to last long."

PARYS WEEKEND

PARYS WEEKEND – May 2011

Wow wee what a lovely weekend!

Friday I attended the annual NOSCAR awards at the Monte Casino Ballroom – theme was Burlesque and wow what a fun evening.

Saturday we made our way to Parys as it was Bronwen and Thijs’ wedding – fab evening with wonderful people.

Sunday we had breakfast with everyone again and headed to town to get the Tourist photos.

Parys is a small town in the Free-state (Parys is the Afrikaans name for Paris) so it was only the right thing to do to get my picture taken with their EIFEL TOWER. We also visited the DELL CHEETAH CENTRE and got the chance to get up close and personal with some of the cheetahs – What an experience!!

Jesse Clegg

JESSE CLEGG ALBUM LAUNCH (Life on Mars)

Wednesday 11 May 2011

A wintery Wednesday night could not have been a more perfect time for the Jesse Clegg album launch.

The Venue at Melrose Arch was the perfect intimate location for an event like this.

The evening started with walking down the red-carpet (no flashing cameras) with press checking in with the fans.

This was unusual for an event like this to have fans (winners of tickets) to the event present - These type of events are generally for “PRESS ONLY”.

The evening officially started with the MC and Producer announcing that the evening was the launch of the 2^nd Album Life on Mars and the music video for Clarity. The music video played and wow it was the perfect teaser to the show, I was hoping that the band would interrupt the music video and play while it was projected on the wall, but alas that never happened.

The band came on stage after the music video and started with the song END OF THE RAINBOW – Real rock concert with lights smoke machines and all!

The evening progressed with fans singing along, press with cameras getting there shots and the band totally rocking out!

It seemed the whole evening that the band members where having so much fun (comments on twitter confirmed what I was seeing).

Jesse Clegg did an acoustic version of Black and White – This song for me stole the show. This was a song that showed what he is made of, deep lyrics and a talent that is on a international standard.

Jesse Clegg also seems to be very humble on stage (a quality lacking in many artists). He introduced the band members with allot of pride and hardly mentioned himself he just said “Oh yeah and I’m Jesse”.

Jesse Clegg and the band played a few songs from his previous album and new one (Life on Mars).

The evening ended and felt like it was just enough to keep us all happy and enticed to go and get LIFE ON MARS!

Needless to say I was first in line on Thursday (12/05/2011) to pick up his new album LIFE ON MARS.

Jesse Clegg keep up the good work – You make us PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN – Let your music ROCK the industries boots off of them!
