“Ghost Rider” reviewed!
Well, I’ve just come home from seeing Marvels’ latest comic-book adaption, Ghost Rider. No doubt people have seen the adverts on tv or on the cinema of this anticipated movie. Nicolas Cage stars as Johnny Blaze who sells his soul to the Devil and is cursed to become a demonic riding Bounty Hunter.
Well, I really like Nicolas Cage (in my opinion his best role was Caster Troy in “Face-Off”), and I enjoy the character of Ghost Rider, his dark approach. Sadly this movie has been toned down a bit due to its (12a) certificate, and therefore the violence and content is less than satisfying in parts. Plus, for some reason Johnny Blaze now drinks Martini glasses full of Jelly Beans… a strange twist, which I’m told was conceived by Mr Cage himself… ok… lol
The special effects are much better than the original screenshots that leaked of the movie last year during its production, and I really can only fault the first time he changes, as I almost burst out laughing.
Its far from the best comic book movie made, and its not the worst either (The Hulk). Unfortunatly I have to say though, I enjoyed the adverts for Spider-man 3 and 300 more than I did the film!
Go see it, but don’t expect a great movie, its a simple, brain off and popcorn movie.

Music For Your Every Mood
Earlier today, I signed up to a rather handy site called stumbleupon.com as a new way of browsing for interesting web pages. After a few clicks, I stumbled over musicovery.com. A very cool music site that lets you select music for whatever mood your in. Just shift the dot to the appropriate point between Dark, Energetic, Positive, and Calm. Select music genres and years, and bingo! Instant music for how your feeling! All you Emo kids stick to left. 
Project “Guyver” model… finally made
Ok, I’m sure plenty of people buy a model kit, leave it somewhere with the best intention of making it, and then one day, stumble across it covered in dust and decide to finally make it… right?!? Or is that just me???
Well, I finally decided to knuckle down and make my model of the anime favourite, Guyver.
Pic 1 shows the model finally put together before painting, Pic 2 shows the base dark colours being applied. Pic 3 shows a dark metalic undercoat being used to give a depth to final over coat, and finally Pic 4 shows the completed model with all the finer details (the eyes were hell to paint) completed.
Now, I just gotta decide what model to make next!
