Avengers: Age of Ultron Teaser Trailer

Image
Any fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been waiting on the edge of their seats for a glimpse of Avengers: Age of Ultron . Despite the announcement that the official teaser trailer would make its world premiere during ABC’s Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D on October 28 th , the full trailer was released by Marvel on October 22 nd after it was leaked online. Barely any information was given in the two minute trailer, but it certainly gave us just enough to leave us wanting more. Mainly the trailer was full of action packed sequences and crowds of people screaming in terror. We are given glimpses of new characters, siblings Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as well as the villainous Ultron who looks to have been assembled with destroyed elements of Iron Man’s past suits. The upcoming blockbuster stars an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, James Spader, Elizabeth...

Megan Nicole 'Escape' - Track by Track

After finding out a month ago that Megan Nicole had an EP coming out, I haven’t been able to cope waiting for it to drop. Luckily for me I didn’t have to wait long and now that I’ve purchased the album I’ve been listening the songs on an endless loop. Just in case you’ve been living under a rock since the EP came out, I’m breaking it down track by track. 1.       Electrified The opener for the EP is the throwback to the ‘80s single we’ve all fallen head over heels for. The song is fun and upbeat and a fantastic introduction to the EP and to Megan’s new sound. 2.       Fun After Megan posted a photo on twitter showing a bench with the word ‘fun’ written in graffiti on the side, I’m about 98% sure that this song is destined to be the second single off the album. What a perfect choice. With its catchy melody and easy to remember lyrics, Fun is the perfect song to listen to when you’re getting ready for a night out with you...

Tomorrowland Teaser Trailer

Image
I’m not going to lie to you guys, for the longest time I thought that Disney’s Tomorrowland was going to be animated. Imagine my surprise when I figured out that it was live-action and would be starring some of my favourite actors. Although the film is not scheduled to be released until May next year, the first teaser trailer for Tomorrowland has been released and it definitely lives up to the idea of a ‘teaser’. We are barely given any information at all, but for now let’s breakdown what we do know. In the two minute trailer we are introduced to Casey, played by Britt Robertson, a teen bursting with scientific curiosity who may not be the most model citizen, and Frank, played by George Clooney, a former boy-genius inventor. The trailer doesn’t really give us any in-depth ideas about either character, though it’s a pretty fair assumption that Casey may have some trouble with authority seeing as in the trailer she is picking up her belongings from the police station. Righ...

The Maze Runner - Movie Review

Possibly one of my favourite things is getting to see movies for free, so when my sister asked me if I wanted to join her and a friend in seeing The Maze Runner I was more than happy to come along, even though I was only invited because they needed a ride. The Maze Runner centres around Thomas, a boy who wakes up in a rusty elevator with no memory of who he is. He comes to learn that he is the latest in a long line of boys who have been delivered to the middle of an intricate maze. The boys then work together in an attempt to find their way out of the ever-changing maze, all while wondering who is WCKD and why did they put the boys in the maze. The film stars Dylan O’Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, and Will Poulter. I have to say, this is a book to screen adaption that I thoroughly enjoyed. The quality of young adult books turned into movies has decreased over the year, with The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and Divergent being disappointmen...

Sabrina Carpenter 'The Middle of Starting Over' - Music Video Review

Image
Sabrina Carpenter skyrocketed to fame after the premiere of her show Girl Meets World on Disney Channel in June. But Sabrina was already in the public eye before being cast as the rebellious Maya Hart. Before her role on Girl Meets World , Sabrina had been posting covers on YouTube and her voice was so good she was signed to Hollywood Records. Earlier this year she put out an EP featuring four original songs, each one as amazing as the last. I was thrilled when I found out that the second single off the EP was going to be my favourite song, The Middle of Starting Over . With its upbeat tempo and inspiring lyrics, this song is not one to be missed. Just recently Sabrina released a music video for The Middle of Starting Over , featuring her and a few friends rocking out and having the time of their lives. The video is full of colourful sets and fun scenarios. Sabrina and friends engage in pillow fights, balloon fights and taking Polaroid photos, all while singing along to a gre...

Megan Nicole 'Electrified' - Music Video Review

Image
Megan Nicole promises a shockingly good time in her music video for newest single Electrified . The ‘80s style workout video is reminiscent of Olivia Newton-John’s Physical video and will have you dancing around in your seat. The video begins with a word of warning to all - not all exercises are suitable for everyone and you should consult a physician before attempting the sweet dance moves. The video moves in to show a group of people in old ‘80s fluoro wear getting ready to do some jazzercise. With its vibrant colours, and playful sets, the Electrified video is one worth watching. Megan looks gorgeous in the video with ‘80s style outfits really suiting her. Then again, this is coming from the girl who spends most of her times in a signature tutu and doc martins. Electrified is the first official single from Megan’s new EP Escape , due to be released 14 th October. Who else is waiting on the edge of their seat listening to Electrified on repeat before we get the EP...

Under the Dome 2x13 Recap

The season two finale of Under the Dome has aired and we have once again been left with more questions than answers. After an intense 45 minutes where I sat on the edge of my seat and yelled at most of the characters, I finished the episode with my hand in the air complaining that I had some logic problems with the second season’s final episode. SPOILERS BELOW Go Now certainly had its fair share of deaths with four residents of Chester’s Mill meeting their end within the 45 minute episode. Tom Tilden was killed by a lightning strike after the dome started going crazy, and Pauline Rennie died after being stabbed in the back by high school boyfriend Lyle Chumley. Pauline didn’t die for the knife wound though oh no, Rebecca Pine administered a lethal dose of morphine at Pauline’s request, a decision which played a hand in ending Rebecca’s life. When Big Jim found out his wife had been killed he took a hammer and smashed Rebecca’s head in... which is a shame, because I had only ...
