I have got quite a bit of news today first of which I have got a new emblem for getting my question to the GSUK podcast read out. It was quite a surprise really because my question was read out under feedback not questions so I got dissapointed at first. But anyway its there for all to see now :D (Its also good because I won a runners up prize in the contest a fortnight ago ;))
Also this week I have seen two movies. First of which I was a little naughty with as I watched it online for free.:oops: It was 28 weeks later, sequel to 28 days later which invented the super fast zombies that seem to have bled into all of the new zombie movies. I have never seen 28 days later so 28 weeks later did have a few moments that went straight over my head without even realising it was important but most of it was done so you could just leap in to the movie without caring its a sequel. Its not really a horror movie, in fact its not scary at all as there is no moments in the movie dedicated to building up tension making the whole movie an action movie with blood, guts and zombies. That being said its a great action movie with some great set pieces like a helicopter mincing a whole legion of the ghastly undead or a scene in a completely blacked out london underground viewed completely through the night sight of a sniper rifle, even when one of the zombies grab it to beat someone to death! It was fun and I am a bit upset that I am not yet old enough to stroll in to town and pick up a copy on DVD but its only 3 more years to wait! Anyway it's a really enjoyable experience and I highly reccomend it!
The other movie I went to see I saw 100% legally at the cinema. Ratatouille is a tale about a rat that loves good food and the measures he goes to to get it which leads him to working for a top restraunt in Paris. This movie rings so many bells for me because like Remy the rat I also love good food. I dont eat french but mediterranian foods but the message was still there to me, you don't have to eat garbage! And its not a subtle message either, infact it isabout as subtle as recieving a smack from a heavy wok around the head. So if you eat what the world sees as fattening garbage you better go in to the cinema with the knowledge that this movie may insult you. But I loved it with the humour in good taste (no pun intended) the best CGI effects I have ever seen and a story that is enjoyable on so many levels. Like 28 weeks I highly reccomend this movie but for so many different reasons. This is the best pixar movie since (if not better than) the mighty toy story!
Back on the subject of GSUK I have also offered to do a story for the GSUK community where the contributers are the charactersand I can safely say that the places are filling up fast!:D And I have decided that if recieved well I will publish a book with the proceeds going to aid the website!

Other news:
I got over excited at the propect of a ghostbusters game being what ghostbusters 3 was going to be. What makes me even happier is that is coming to all platforms including the ps2! Roll on 2008!
Finished the newest Alex Rider book! Back to the series old glories with some great set pieces. You shouldn't care that its a kids book the series is addictive and I do suggest picking it up!
Anyway I think thats it for now. Thanks for reading!
