Rihanna - Only Girl (In The World)

Artist: Rihanna
Single: Only Girl (In The World)
Tracks: 2
Label: Def Jam
Only Girl (In The World) - Single
Rihanna brings out yet another single, unlike her previous song, Rude Boy. It's quite good with upbeat music. I think this song and Taio Cruz's Dynamite would make an excellent song. The music video is great. Another belter from Rihanna.

5/5

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Review

This is the end.......Harry Potter 7
It's here! The incredibly long waited finale of JK Rowling's series. To cut a long story short it wasn't that great. One, read the book, two, see the film or your completly scuppered. The film opens with The League of Evil, or Voldemort and his drinking buddies all at Malfoy's house getting drunk. No, they are plotting to kill Harry (yet again?), wait is that what I thought that was. They are trying to kill him, what is the meaning of this. Anyway, a wedding happens and then they're in London (?). The film gives you loads of jumps and to be honest it is too long waited to be perfect. Apart from a few minor details they stuck to the book plot pretty thickly.

Katy Perry Firework Single Album Review

Artist: Katy Perry
Single: Firework
Tracks: 1
Label: Capitol
Firework - Single
First of all, congratulations to newly-wed couple Russell and Katy. This new slowed down track was like many of her songs, really hard to adjust to. The beginning is, "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind wanting to start again?" It sounds so poorly written that it sounds like something someone sitting down in their kitchen and thinking, "lyrics, hum?" Then someone walks in with a plastic bag and saying, 'dinner's soon.' Hurriedly they note it down and begin more. It gets better with, 'baby, you're a fire---work!" I love it. It's not as ho hum as Teenage Dreams or as cheeky a bubbly as California Gurls. You'll be humming it next week this is a sure hit. Though on the charts she is behind Take That, Rihanna, Cheryl Cole and Black Eyed Peas! Even Katy and Russ themselves say, "this is their all-time favorite song ever of her album!"

4.5/5

Another Year Review

It's not just another film......Another Year
The film opens with Imelda Staunton sitting in a white room, depressed, unsure about her life, she says to the doctor everything she knows about what her life is about. She is asked to return and meet the counsellor whom we see is (Gerri) Ruth Sheen. She leaves, this woman (Janet) and returns to her husband (Jim Broadbent) Tom. Tom and Gerri (Tom and Jerry) are living a happy life. She's a counsellor and he's a geologist. This film sees four seasons (Another Year). Their son, (Oliver Maltman), Joe visits with his bubbly new girlfriend (Karina Fernandez) and then we meet in my opinion the star of the film, Mary. This film is deeply touching and I was crying half way through. The death of Broadbent's on-screen brother's (David Bradley) wife. It is sad at how things pan out especially Winter. I would recommend this 100%. Another classic to add to the collection.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth Review

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Ugly Truth Jeff Kinney
RRP: £10:99
Type: Soft Hardback
Pages: 240pgs
Genre: Kids 10+
Diary of A Wimpy Kid 5
After the movie, Jeff Kinney decided, why don't I make more Diary of a Wimpy Kid. We last see Greg Heffley, reminiscing about his eventful summer holidays. The reader finds Greg two weeks after 'Dog Days' surviving the few hard last days of summer. He starts back school with a bang. I never thought to see puberty be put into a comic/kid's book. Most Wimpy Kid fans, thought, when the saw The Ugly Truth cover, why is he holding an egg. The egg is proven to be a experiment (though clever) wither boys can be caring fathers to their eggs. This is a short segment in the story and is unfortunately not followed through. It is not my favourite (my favourites being: Wimpy Kid 1, Rodrick Rules and Dog Days) because not much happens apart from the hilarious Lock-In scenario. I would recommend it to any fan though don't take my word as God if you know what I mean. It's good, another classic from Jeff Kinney.
