Adele - 21 Album Review

Rolling in the fame................Adele

In 2008, Adele released her album, 19, her age at the time of production, since then she hasn't been that popular but in January of this year, Adele Adkins (known as 'Adele') rose to fame breaking musical records worldwide. Performing concerts, her own tour, the iTunes Festival, she has soared through the music industry. Her latest album (her second), 21, became a hit, the lead song, 'Rolling In The Deep' has been covered by the US TV series, "Glee" and played on radios and CD players nationwide. Rolling In The Deep is edgy, with good lyrics and a beat you can dance to, a good song. Rumour Has It, is slightly different with a slower beat and a little whoop from Adele in the middle and a slowed down section, it's much different. Set Fire To The Rain is an odd one. It starts off slow and calm but then speeds  and is fast. Don't You Remember is slow but high. A dance song definitely. A really good album that will go down in the ages as a classic. One to keep on your iPod permanently.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2 (WARNING: SPOILERS) Review

The end isn't near, it's here...........Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter 7 Part 2

The long-awaited Harry Potter 7 Part 2 is here. With the film poster's telling us about what's to come, this film can't pack all the supposed magic of all seven books into one terrific movie. It is amazing with some great touches like Severus Snape, (Alan Rickman) being killed by Nagini, Lord Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes) snake. With Harry still trying to fight the battle against Voldemort, he realises how much he is putting his friends in danger. And with some funny quotes by Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom, this film really puts the magic back into the series. The 19 years later sequence, is unnecessary but well acted. A nice little cameo of Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) plays well. The regular cast is back, Robbie Coltrane is marvellous as Rubeus Hagrid and Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. These additions really set things up. The final fight scene is not to be missed.

Cars 2 Review

"not" rod.....................Cars 2

This is our second review of a Pixar film, the first being the amazing Toy Story 3 and frankly, we're pretty disappointed. Our initial thoughts when the new trailer for Cars 2 was released was, "why make a sequel out of a bad movie?" Ask any Disney/Pixar fan and they'll say 2006's Cars was a flop - a skidmark in Pixar's golden reputation, so why make a sequel. The premises for this dodgy follow-up is that Lightning McQueen, voiced by Little Focker's Owen Wilson, is provoked into allowing a flashy Italian race car to challenge him to race in the fictional "World Grand Prix," run by the flashy, Miles Axelrod, voiced by comedian, Eddie Izzard. So they travel to Tokyo where the race begins. Enter, Michael Caine, voicing the not very lovable Finn McMissile, a secret agent, spy car (eh?) who discovers a plot conducted by the evil "Lemon's" to set race cars in their place by destroying them. A typical race soon becomes a whirlwind adventure for Tow Mater, voiced by Larry The Cable Guy who becomes embroiled in the spy subplot with McMissile and Holley Shiftwell, voiced by Emily Mortimer. The characters in this movie still fails to be lovable, exactly like the first movie - disappointing.
