Where I live the local cinema has a cheap day Tuesday where you can visit the cinema before 5pm and pay only £4.95 they also give out vouchers discounting the price of the next ticket which you can use on Tuesday too so for £2.95 I went to the cinema.
I was tempted to go and see New Moon as I went to see Twilight, but to be honest I found the first film very funny in like the wrong way, and I really don't like the character Bella shes as unlikable in the books as she is in the film, of course I know that's the point I'm meant to imagine that I'm Bella, but that's too much hard work. I was really skeptical about seeing Sherlock Holmes in all the trailers I had seen it looked like a bad comedy, and Avator didn't appeal to me, it may be the first of its kind but it doesn't mean its actually any good. But I will have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Sherlock Holmes, I thought all the actors cast were appropriate for the characters, and its was good to see Jude Law in a good role.

Daybreakers
If you haven't heard of it, its a film starring Ethan Hawke about vampires.
Short story is that a bat bite mutilated to a virus that is passed on through a bite, those who aren't affected are given a choose to to turn or became food. Ten years on the human blood supply is almost exhausted and people are hungry and the starving turing into humanised bats (subhuman).
It started out okay until their was a silly shot of Mr Hawke not being seen in the car mirror because hes a vampire, very lame. A long story short he trying to find a blood substitute, hates being a vampire, meets a few humans who need his help to create a cure. Meets a former vampire, (William Defoe) who became human he becomes human himself most of the surviving humans are caught by a company who farm their blood, theirs now no blood left. Mr Hawke's character has a brother who rounds up humans for the company, bites Mr Defoe character and then becomes human. A bloody showdown happens at the company, when the company director is turned human, then ripped apart by his starving soldiers, the brother is bitten to death by the soldiers who then turn human and then are ripped apart by the others. Basically it ends with Hawke, Defoe and his lady friend surviving, the company have found a blood substitute but by then everyones starving and it ends with a crappy line "we have a cure," but you still have the virus, but your heart will beat.
Just about a 3 star.
While watching the trailers for this film, it seems that 2010 in the film world is the year of Armageddon, now not through nature now its man made. Im however are looking forward to see the The Wolfman, but for some reason I imagine Penelope Cruz to be in it not Emily Blunt.

My favourite Author
When I was younger their wasn't really anyone I aspired to, I wanted to be a writer and would daily practice my craft. At School I finally found my favourite author her name Margaret Atwood. The first book I read of hers was The Handmaidens Tale, it opened my world, for those have never read it, imagine a world were war has spread across the world and America is dealing with the aftermath. The rich men control everything and women are now treated as second class citizens and are either slaves or child bearers. The reason why Margaret Atwood is my favourite author is the way she explores women's issues, our role in society and also theirs a little nostalgia look to the 60s-70s, we wanted freedom but at what cost! We lost the stability of marriage, we have to have careers and compete with men, we also have to be housewife's, and be mainly responsible for looking after the children, while the men get to leave when the going gets tough.
If our men leave us it our fault because we weren't pretty enough, interested enough. She doesn't try to give answers in the book, she always leaves you wanting more, how did it end? The most common thing about female protagonist, in her books as they are always looking to discover who they are and not what society tells them they should be, and sometimes their isn't really an answer, sometimes we just merely drift.
