It looks like this has been around for a couple of years, but I’ve only just discovered it myself. It’s described as being a ‘cinematic way to discover the web’. Whatever sort of media buzzwords you might want to use, it’s a pretty interesting piece of software. Available on WinDOS and Mac for most (could be all, I CBA to check everything) browsers, even available for your iPhone. Anyway, it allows you to search media from various websites in all its glorious forms in a big scrollable wall. Jump in and out of images and videos, add them to your favourites or send them to friends. Cooliris is a great add on to your browser.

This is me writing about something other than films for a change. Exciting. Gears of War is a simple game. Shoot, kill; shoot, kill; shoot, kill… watch a cut scene… shoot, kill… You get the idea. But it’s great fun. I think I prefer games you can just pick up and play and not have to get stuck into some attempted deep and meaningful back story. Which is probably why I decided not to get Fallout 3. Anyway, I completed GoW 2 last night and it was solid fun. Now if only somebody would coop with me. Yes, that’s another hint, guys.

HMV’s 3 for £20 offer caught me out again the other day and I acquired myself Sweeney Todd as one of my three. I knew this was a musical but I was still surprised when everyone started singing. Don’t ask me why, I’m just like that. The singing is pretty good, though the cynic inside me knows it’s been digitally remastered. It’s not a stand out film, or groundbreaking in anyway… it’s just entertaining.

I watched this at the flickers weeks ago, but I’ve been too busy and too lazy to update the blog. Life story to one side, I found the film pretty average. Enjoyable, but average. It’s more of the same from Casino Royale and not really as good. The product placement does reach new and ever reaching levels, though. I think Sony have a few new monitors/TVs they’d like to shift and Ford have a wide range of vehicles for all occasions. All flashy and shiny as you expect from Bond, but it lacked depth and a decent villain.
