Webslinging, and a baby birthday

A double whammy update today, generally revolving around my weekend after SATs, which went pretty darn well to be honest.

SATURDAY

Well, I was up early, so I spent most of the morning jumping between Sky TV and MSN. i was at dad's, by the way. I'd arranged to meet Zoe, Hannah, Alice and later Jack at the train station at 4, so when the time came Jack called round and we head off. Wasn't too long before all five of us were on the train, which is always good fun, hooking legs around each other and all that general malarky. I'm not suggesting it was a lesbian fumbling session, just alot fun. Anyway. We got there and were planning to get pizza first and catch a later showing, but there was one on at the time, so we dashed for popcorn and then inside, just in time for the opening credits. Now might be a good time for a review!

Spider - Man 3
Like juggling bad dudes with web-covered hands

The first two movies were great. The third is no exception.
Since we were a little late in the first thing I saw was the opening title, which is always an opening less frustratingly pointless than most action films. It begins with a montage of the first two films alongside opening credits, which is handy for those like me that saw the other two films quite a while ago.

The story is, well, what would you expect? A superhero, a general superhero plot, a superhero's fiance, and not one, but three super villains. You've got Flint Marko, AKA Sandman, the guy who actually shot Ben Parker, Peter's uncle. Whilst on the run, he sort of, bonds with sand in an experiment at some secret place. then you have the New Goblin, Harry, who's father was killed by Pete in the first film. Although he swears revenge, he's Peter's best friend, and a blow to the head gives him temporary amnesia... Hi jinks follow.

Lastly but, in my opinion, the best of the three, is the almighty Venom. Eddie Brock is shunned off the Daily Bugle department after Pete blows the cover of one of his fake photographs. An alien symbiote that bonds with Parker's suit earlier in the film latches onto Eddie when he tails Parker, who is tearing off the suit. Brock transforms into Venom, large teeth, eyes and tongue, and teams up with sandman. The final battle ensues and I'm not giving away any more details.

The camera work is a brilliant demonstration of modern day ingenuity, with Spidey having his own personal cameraman tailing his Web-Slinging antics all the way through NY. The dialogue isn't the greatest but it suffices, and though one of the scenes is dreadfully corny, It still makes for great viewing. Whether you're a fan of Spider - Man in general like me, or just want to see a film for all the family, I recommend the third to most people.

Ok, so it was a great film, made better by me and Jack laughing everytime the russian landlord or his mole - carrying daughter came on screen... Hysterics and cries of "EI HHHAVE MOLE "erupted.

Pizza followed. Between the five of us, we spent about six pounds each on a large pizza, a medium pizza, wedges, breaded mushrooms, nachos, another starter I can't remember, 4 drinks, and 4 desserts between us. not bad, eh? It was about 10 o'clock by the time we were out and at the train station, and the way back was even funnier than the way there... Lots more leg fights and diving about.

SUNDAY (TODAY)

Today is Alfie's birthday! He's my baby cousin who tomorow is a whole one year old. He got a brilliant Elmo chair, a swing and lots of other goodies. Just thought I'd throw in a quick mention for him.

Well, that's all for now. I'm updating the site a bit. Oh, and if you search on google "alternateview myspace" You get my blog link. Yahoo!
