Medusa Sketch
I can not wait until next week and Easter for all this stuff t be handed in and over with. It's the end of the subject I'm working on which is the human form and we're moving onto observational drawings. Thank god after being in this college since September i am finally going to actually draw something. I'll see how that goes after Easter holidays.
There's allot of crap going on next week. We have an artist coming in to paint with us on the Monday and we have to buy a wall painting brush (yet another thing to buy in the range) and on the Wednesday our college parents gill and Nigel are taking us out on a little trip to Cardiff for some sort of art competition. the winner gets a few thousand i think but of course we are not aoud to enter. We are there to observe and appreciate the art.
Back to Medusa. I'm not sure how my work turned into Greek mythology but it seems to have ran into that direction so i'm just going to go with that. The student teacher, Seb wanted me to use ink on this picture but i was like screw that I'm going to completely ruin it if i do anything like that to it. I should have scanned in my sketch of Leonardo DiCaprio , i would have if i wasn't in the middle of a lecture at the time.

Leonardo
The Departed
(2006) Martin Scorsese's thriller stars Matt Damon as a gangster who's infiltrated the cops and Leonardo DiCaprio as a cop inside Jack Nicholson's gang. Very strong language/Violence.
That is what my TV has to say about the film I'll give it a watch and tell you what i think later.
You know what i hate about films that are on TV? You cant pause it to go down stairs and eat a bowl full of crunchy nut cornflakes. Of course that is in no way going to stop me.
I love you Phillip Morris
Yes it doesn't exactly seem fitting for Ewan McGregor and Jim Carrey to be the perfect couple all loved up and fucking in prison for our young sensitive eyes to see but then again neither does a teenage girl falling in love with a vampire but that argument is for another day. As the film goes on you soon begin to see how cute they are together. Wait- did i just say Jim and Ewan are cute together? Even though Steven was a mind controlling crazy genius that was in and out of prison more times than Katie price has had plastic surgery, you could still see the method in his madness.

Fight Club
Waw, What an insane film. Its films like this that confuse me but oddly enough i understood what was going on even though none of it makes sense in the real world. So they were both the same person huh? I don't think i would have seen that turn of events happening if i hadn't been told what the plot of the story was before hand. Well who would have guest Brad Pitt was just a fragment of his imagination. I suppose some people can relate to this as i hear Brad has quite the fan base, Unfortunately I'm not apart of it as I'm already devoted to Leonardo. Any way has anyone noticed that Brad Pitt plays the same character in every film...Okay I'm sorry enough Brad bashing for one day .
So the mane character who's name i have forgotten wants to be Brad Pitt that's why he imagined him and now hes stuck with Brad as that imaginary friend that wont leave him alone to the point where he has to literally blow his own head off to stop thinking about him. My favourite part is the end and no not because it finishes but everything builds up too the end and it's all going on all dramatic and stuff and then the song "where is my mind" by the pixies comes on which is a good mood setter. This might be a little too late but Spoiler alert to anyone who hasn't seen the film.
I did think the film dragged on ever so slightly in the middle but i did enjoy it and there's not many films like this one so it didn't end up being a copy cat film plot that I've seen time and time again. Helena Bonham Carted was my favourite character again not only because i love Helena Bonham carter but because her character was cool. The fact that the mane character has to actually ring her and ask her if they've ever had sex is quite worrying i think he should see a doctor about that. Actually having fantasies about Brad Pitt is reason enough to take a trip tot he doctors. God i need to stop. Sorry Brad.
Sid and Nancy
Looks like Gary Oldman is more than just a pretty face he was perfect for playing Sid Vicious even though he wouldn't have been my first choice as i just think of him as Sirius black from Harry Potter. Chloe Webb was amazing at playing Nancy spungen. I'm going to be honest, id never heard of Chloe Webb before watching this film but she was bloody brilliant! She was absolutely insane witch is good because i think that's what they were going for with this film.
Sid and Nancy are in no way glamorized in this film, instead you see the downward spiral of they're self destructive lives mixed in with a twisted and harsh love story captured in a punk era time frame.I also like the tag line for this film witch is "love kills" pretty much sums the whole thing up.
The whole film is pretty intense and full on although Johnny rotten describes the film as
"mere fantasy...the peter pan version"
Another bit of trivia for you (and yes i am googling this) Gary Oldman is wearing Sid's real chain necklace in the film but it wasn't Nancy who gave it to him it was him mother.
Enough about the trivia basically its a brilliant film that you have to see before you die!

Shutter Island
I admit at the beginning i though this was a remake of Agatha Christies Poirot as it started slow. Never fear though as the plot soon thickened with all sorts of twists and turns to keep my eyes quite literally glued to the screen.
I think i would have been completely relaxed sitting there watching a good film if only that John malkovitch looking man didn't keep coming back and telling us to keep out feet of the seats bellow us. It's not like anyone else was sitting there and its not our fault we have long legs! He would just stand there staring at us , honestly he was scarier than the film its self. Who the hell hired that man?
Apart from blood Diamond i haven't seen Leonardo DiCaprio in many films recently. Blood Diamond was also a great film that i actually bothered to own. Unfortunately Leonardo reaches a sticky end in that film too...the same as Titanic.....and Romeo and Juliet...Come to think of it i don't think Ive seen a film where Leonardo DiCaprio does not die! Hmmm well that's an interesting discovery Ive just stumbled on, Maybe the directors know the ending to a film will be far more emotional if Leonardo died because everyone is already in love with him. (Counting me)
Back to shutter Island, The ending was sad but a good twist. I was expecting somewhere down the line that Teddy would be insane and either have to stay on the island or already has been a patient at the hospital. there was allot of interesting insidents and charectors to the story though even to the point where i was just confused ,thankfully it managed to explain itself in the end.
There was no obvious special effects usage on this film, thank god. I get sick of those 3 hour long film just watching the quality of the graphics. Yeah they're amazing and jaw dropping to the point i believe I'm there but they go on forever and nobody bothered to put a good plot line into it. I'm afraid i enjoyed Shutter island more than Alice in wonderland not that i think its fair to compare them as they're completely different sorts of films. I think Tim Burton did a fantastic job in recreating Alice and wonderland but even though he added a new plot i get sick of the whole wonderland scenario. I give Shutter island 9/10
Well that's another film reviewed, next stop - I love you Phillip Morris.

Tarot Card
You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

Child Genius
It took me about 4 years to try and get to grips with algebra but even then i failed miserably at my maths GCSE . How he hell does a 5 year old understand everything there is too know about hard maths.
Adam went to boarding school and started having fun playing sports and being a normal kid so his parents now think he's "lost his gift". God these people are annoying . In they're desperation to have a gifted child they've actually acknowledged they're other sons existence and checked in case he has "the gift". What about if hes not gifted and he gets a crap IQ , he's going to feel shit compared to his genius brothers IQ of 170.
Turns out the other brother has an IQ of 137 so that classes him as gifted. Someone should check if I'm gifted i should think so.

Alice in Wonderland
Sunday went well although there was hell of a queue and people being people had to make a huge palaver about where they wanted to sit. Eventually everyone stopped acting like they were high and sat down. the film started , at last after a long wait and a huge unnecessary effort i was going to see the friggin film.
Well i was not disappointed. I give Tim a fond pat on the back once again for giving us yet another amazing film. Timothy Spall , Matt Lucas, Alan Rickman, Johnny depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Stephen fry? How can the film not be brilliant. Although i didn't notice Timothy spall until i went home and "googled it". Helena Bonham carter was great as Queen of hearts, Defiantly my favourite character. The film was brilliant and I'm glad the story line was slightly different and not just the same repetitive re-make of the original story. 8/10
Arthur Shawcross
http://www.youtube.com/show/serialkiller
I was searching through YouTube TV today and found this documentary about Arthur Shawcross who has been names Americas most notorious serial killers after killing 11 woman and 2 children. The documentary itself is very interesting but this is one sick scary man. I don't know if he's telling the truth about his childhood or not but surely the man must be insane. nothing seems to bother him when he's talking about the people he's killed, that's whats so scary and the fact he considers himself to be evil.Call me picky but if i was his daughter I'm not sure if i could turn a blind eye to my father being a serial killer like she does. Personally that annoying twitch of his is enough to make me want to murder him!
