'Khoda'

Every now and then something comes along that will completely blow your mind. Astound you, stun you, leave you inspired that there is still some genuine creativity out there.
This happened to me today, when I saw the 5 minute animated film 'Khoda'.
Created as a student project by Reza DolatabadI, the movie actually comprises of over 6000 paintings. Every time you pause the film, you are faced with a new painting!
I can't even find the words to describe it any further, so watch the movie yourself :)

The Expendables

I went to the cinema today, for the first time in ages! I love seeing a film on the big screen, because of the two Ps: Popcorn and previews!
There are two films I saw advertised that I'm desperate to see; Resident Evil: Afterlife (I have a two for one token to go see it as well :D) and 'RED' which just looked hilarious (Helen Mirren? With a machine gun?! :D)

I saw The Expendables, which does exactly what you'd expect it too given it's stellar cast of action hero's; it gives you a thrill-a-minute testosterone fuelled action movie with a good amount of humour and LOTS of explosions.
If youe're seeking something deep and meaningful, The Expendables probably isn't the movie for you. But if you're into a bit of mindless does-what-it-says-on-the-tin/movies-probably-aimed-at-blokes as I occasionally am (I love too watch Con Air or Bad Boys if I have the chance) then I thoroughly recommend it!
Also, just on a side note, Jason Statham...
