When I first heard about this film my expectation were low. I thought "Oh no Blair witch project meets Godzilla". Yes that analogy was right but my "Oh no" was unjust.
The film starts off pretty slow. For the first 20 Min's you are shown a leaving party for one of the main character this is a bit bland but works well at showing the people and there relationships. Then when the action kicks in, it KICKS in. I can't explain it but from the first point of action it draws you in. The whole camcorder thing works very well in this film and makes the action more intense. I don't want to do a long drawn out review so I am going to keep it short and sweet. The special effect are the good and get past the first 20 Min's and the film really is a roller coaster ride I was griped and impressed by how much this gripped me.....
If I was going to nit pick I could argue how the camera survived some of the scenes and the 20 Min's beginning sequence. But because the film was so gripping it kind of voids out those faults.
So all in all I would recommend you turn the lights off and watch this on blu-ray if you can.
9/10

Zero Puntuation Reviews
I have found a website with some comical reviews of games. The video below is a review of GTA4. Take a look...
News: T Shirt Ban
Just found this story on The Sun website. A man was told he could not fly from an airport (Terminal 5 none the less!) unless he removed a transformers t-shirt with a gun on it. This is just ridiculous. I understand we are fighting against terrorism etc. What he going to do with a t shirt with a gun on it. Pull the gun out of the t-shirt and shoot people. Its more realistic if he took the t-shirt off and beat someone with it. I hear about people being beaten to death with t shirts all the time...

The Chirs Moyles Show BBC Radio 1!
Here's my story....
I work in an office on my own and needed something different to listen to, so I started listening to Radio 1. I chose Radio 1 because it has no adverts I hate adverts on the radio. So I would get back from my duties about 9:30 and always catch the end of the Chris Moyles show. I liked what I herd in those 30 Min's so I decided "I have an MP3 player with a radio on why don't I listen to it on that". I Started listening to the show and found the show was really funny. So I fully recommend you give it a listen even if its just the Podcast Here. I listen now almost religiously every morning from 6:30am to 10am. Its a great way to start your morning, Always makes me laugh....
