Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures (2008)
A great adventure game
I like the game because it keeps closely to the movies. The characters have special skills - the ladies are able to jump higher than the men. Indy has a whip, which he can use to disarm enemies, pick up objects, or swing from ledge to ledge. Willie has a scream that can shatter glass. Some of the characters have fears, with Indy it is snakes, with Willie it is bugs, and with Elsa it is rats. This means you have to find a way to get rid of them or use another character. The characters can sometimes pick up the hats of beaten enemies to fool guard posts or Thugee statues. There are sixty playable characters although many of them are the same people in different outfits.
There are eighteen missions plus three bonus missions. I found the missions in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Last Crusade' easier than 'Temple of Doom' (for example in the 'Temple of Kali' mission trying to time and aim the jumps onto the moving handholds). My favourite of the bonus missions was 'Young Indy' as I didn't like the other two much. I prefer missions where you can fight enemies and collects kits and bonuses. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoyed Lego Star Wars or who is a fan of the Indiana Jones films.
Fuk sing go jiu (1985)
A brilliant movie
It is the second film in the series after Winners and Sinners. Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars is the film after this one. I would certainly recommend this series of movies. My favourite parts of this film are the fight scenes, but the funniest moments are when Sammo Hung is with his friends e.g. the scene where they pretend that there are robbers in their house to get close to Sibelle Hu. I like the end of the film as there is a lot of fighting between Jackie Chan and Dick Wei, Sammo and Lau Kar Wing and Yuen Biao and Lam Ching Ying. This is definitely the film, which made me watch martial art movies, particularly when they are comedies.
DIY SOS (1999)
Used to be good
I really used to like watching this show when they had two teams redecorating people's rooms, and they would concentrate on getting the rooms done, or they wouldn't spend too much time mucking around. Since they have changed it to redecorate one room, it has been awful because they just spend most of their time messing about. Also, Nick Knowles doesn't do very much work, and sometimes the 'designers' work is rubbish e.g. some of the wall "art", which probably gets chucked away as soon as the cameras leave, and some of their ideas for good ceiling lights in the rooms are awful, or the colour schemes are often dreadful. I hate the people that want their rooms done just to have parties, or if they have unnecessarily taken their kitchen/bathroom apart when they do not have the skills to fix it themselves. In other words, they probably just want to get their faces on the screen.
EastEnders (1985)
Really awful
I think this programme is a load of rubbish. All they do is argue and slap each other across the face and they call this acting?! These people get paid lots of money for this and most of them can't even act to save their lives. Also, the story lines are awful and after watching it for a few minutes, I am bored with it. I like the way that Harry Hill takes the mickey out of it on his TV show 'TV Burp' e.g. the weak joke "The Princess and the Pea isn't exactly Shakespeare is it?" that had Sonia and Naomi in stitches. I don't see how that is funny. I think this is a waste of everybody's money for their TV licence so this can be shown 4/5 days a week. Isn't there anything better than this?
Family Guy (1999)
My favourite TV show
I love everything about family guy.
My favourite characters in family are Brian and Stewie and I like the episodes when it mainly features them such as "Road to Rhode Island" (Season 2), as they interact very well. The comments they make just have me in stitches. Peter's behaviour is also very funny as some of the things he does "are just so brilliant they're retarded." The voice acting is excellent, especially Seth MacFarlane as he provides the voices for half of the Griffin family as well as their perverted neighbour Glenn Quagmire and how he manages this range (particularly with singing) I just don't know. He deserves his two Emmy's for providing the voice of evil baby genius Stewie. Adam West also steals the show with his funny and completely insane regular character the mayor of Quahog. What I like about Chris (voiced by Seth Green) is the things he says show that he takes after his father when it comes to intelligence and common sense.
The only thing I have found annoying is that in the UK Fox has decided to change the seasons to increase DVD sales, which in no way reflect the programme itself but rather the marketing.
If you enjoy Family Guy then I would thoroughly recommend Seth MacFarlane's other project American Dad which uses a different style of humour but is still extremely hilarious.
