		<description><![CDATA[I went to the midnight premiere of Star Trek Into Darkness! Pretty cool, guys. Pretty cool.
Although, I was quite disappointed that nobody dressed up...

I haven't seen any previous Star Trek movies or television episodes, so I have to say I was at an emotional disadvantage, because I didn't have a relationship with the characters that many others had.

Having said that, I did enjoy the movie - especially in 3D. It actually made the movie better. For once. The scenes in space were pretty epic with stars flying at your face. As for the sound effects though, the screechy scratchy gun fire put my teeth on edge.

The villain was incredible! John Harrison/Khan was played by Benedict Cumberbatch... His voice.. Oh my God... So amazing. However, Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu is my favourite character - I wish he had more dialogue.

Oh! Of course, Simon Pegg's character Lieutenant Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott was... <a href="http://nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/star-trek-into-darkness/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=31038710&#038;post=2907&#038;subd=nzfilmfreak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Holy crapolah. This movie... Guys... Just..

Wow.

This is a huge step away from the typical and clichéd superhero movies. This one was  very funny with a switch up of roles among the characters. Like, it is an action-comedy with an underlying deep and meaningful storyline.

Throughout the movie, Tony Stark kept having anxiety attacks. Although I think it could have been more effective and emotional by having flashbacks, it was still pretty intense.

The story was pretty decent, although I have to say that the villain, Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) was... <a href="http://nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/iron-man-3/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=31038710&#038;post=2888&#038;subd=nzfilmfreak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What an exciting cast! Bill Nighy, Stanley Tucci and Ewan McGregor! *drool*

I first saw the advert on the back of the bus, and quite frankly I thought it looked a little.. Lame.

I mean starting from Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, we have had remake after remake of these fairytales and fables; Beauty and Beast, The Wizard of Oz, Mirror, Mirror, Snow White and the Huntsman... So to see Jack and the Beanstalk being remade was not a surprise, and I expected it to have similar disappointments with all of the other remakes.

Namely the fact that the violence has to be toned down so that it can be suitable for the younger audience. Despite the storyline being 100 times better if it went the full hog and making it an M.

I was right. But it didn't stop the story being enjoyable.

I do think the writers... <a href="http://nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/jack-the-giant-slayer/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=31038710&#038;post=2855&#038;subd=nzfilmfreak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey guys!


So I am swamped with uni studies at the moment and I am afraid my conscience won't allow me to watch movies as it makes me feel too guilty, when I know I should be writing 2000 word essays on pointless crap.

However! I thought I should write a post to remind you that I am still in existence - I bet you're relieved - and tell you the list of films I am going to review in about a week's time...

1. Jack and the Giant Slayer
2. Once
3. The Devil Wears Prada
4. The Cove
5. Express my anger on recent government decisions in NZ...

Please comment to this post if you wish to put something on the list :)

I have been using my twitter account @NZFilmFreak a little more often since getting an iPhone! Ah! Scandal. What a techno person I am; all up to date and shizz. So feel free to follow!

It's great to have so many fans of my blog...

*crickets chirp*

...and I am pretty sure that people will begin to recognise me in the street and congratulate me on my talents of blogging and pay me to write about films in the near future...  <a href="http://nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/im-still-alive-reviews-are-coming/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nzfilmfreak.wordpress.com&#038;blog=31038710&#038;post=2851&#038;subd=nzfilmfreak&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It is such a contagious song and has that sound that makes you want to get up and dance. Or at least put a smile on your face.

I love Emma Watson's dancing in this too. Friggin' awesomely hilarious.
