Random YouTube Clips

Sorry about this, its good for a laugh though.


This clips much better (and 'no', they didn't train a real gorila to play the drums!).

Thanks to Joe for the links (I'm passing the buck, I had nothing to do with the YMCA vid!).

Spider-Man 3 : How It Should Have Ended

Check out the How It Should Have Ended (HISHE) site for other funny clips.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008)

'Yes' in answer to your question. They've adapted the Terminator movies into a TV series called The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Well not quite adapted, a TV series has been made to fill in the blanks between 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' and 'Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines'.

Its an ambitious project to take on especially since the Terminator series is so well known.

The pilot episode is available here for the moment (don't worry - it hasn't got Spanish subtitles as the site mentions), on the excellent Stage6 site. Go check it out!

From what I've seen, the plot follows a similar formula to the films. A bad terminator is sent back in time to destroy John Connor (the savior of humanity) whilst a good terminator is sent back by the human resistance (in the future) to counteract the bad one and keep John alive.

There's no real famous faces in this as far as I can see except Summer Glau from the excellent (yet canceled!) series 'Firefly' (which later got made into a film called 'Serenity'). Also the terminators are lacking that Stan Winston touch in regards to the visuals although I doubt the studio would want to spend too much on makeup/animatronics/CGI for a TV show.

According to IMDb the series should start (in the US) in the early part of next year but I'm kinda expecting it not to get that far. It looks like a good show but it also looks like it will flop (not sure how to explain that though). Virgin Media have apparently secured the rights to show this on demand in the UK so I'll look out for it in the future.

Disturbia (2007)

Disturbia is basically a modern update of the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock film 'Rear Window'.

Its an enjoyable movie and the update really works well for the iPod/YouTube generation. Rather than having the lead house bound due to an illness/disability the main character is under house arrest with a monitoring device strapped to his leg, alerting the police if he strays more than 100ft from his house.

The lead is played by Shia LaBeouf, this guy seems to be getting some amazing roles at the moment - Transformers and the new Idiana Jones film (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull) to mention a few. He's also got to star with some stunning women, Megan Fox & Sarah Roemer, not that I'm jealous or anything (lucky bastard!).

Anyway, its a great suspense/thriller which works really well and I recommend it. Find the trailer below.

Superbad (2007)

Ok, heres a quick review for Superbad. Its pretty much how I expected it to be which is no bad thing. Its really crude in parts and is almost 100% about sex but its still got the charm of The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up thanks to having a pretty much identical cast/crew (that'll be Judd Apatow's comedy gang).

The film is totally packed with tonnes of funny moments but my favourite scenes involve the two cops (Seth Rogen & Bill Hader) with the character McLovin/Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse).

Anyway, its a great little movie. Probably best seen with a bunch of male friends as most females will likely to be offended by the majority of it. He he!
