Battleship Film Review



Plot - A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals. (www.imdb.com)

Review - Battleship is a good action film, great CGI, plot and acting although I thought that the alien suits did look a lot like the ones from halo and the aliens them selfs looked like old fish men. They could have been a bit more creative with the aliens. There ships where cool though. I also think its a little bit predictable but i did like it, its a classic action film. The soundtrack was great, they had two ACDC songs in the background.

Rating- I give it a 7 out of 10, I would go and watch it in the cinema, is a shame it wasn't in IMAX as that would have been awesome and I would probably get it on DVD.

BGT backs down in battle with The Voice

Saturday nights television has become very interesting and exciting. This is because Britains Got Talent is back but this time it's followed by a new program named The Voice.

BGT (Britain's Got Talent) is a British television talent show competition which started in June 2007.  The show is broadcast on ITV and has millions of people around the world who watch it. Anyone at any age with an amazing talent can audition for the show.  Acts will compete against each other in order to gain the audience support while trying to win the title of "The winner of Britain's Got Talent".

The Voice is a singing competition, simalar to the X factor. The first is the blind audition, in which four coaches, Will.i.am, Jessie J, Danny and Tom Bowers listen to contenders without seeing them and if they like what they hear, they turn their chair around. If more than one coach turn around the artist chooses the coach he or she would like to work with.

Has Simon Cowell admitted defeat in the battle of the Saturday night talent shows?

Simon Cowells show Britain's Got Talent is moving its time slot to avoid being on at the same time as The Voice.
It comes after The Voice racked up more viewers overall and importantly during the 20 minutes the two shows clash.

From 21 April, ITV say that Britain's Got Talent will be moved to a slightly later slot so there is no overlap with the BBC show.

One Direction And Simon Cowell’s Record Label Being Sued. Part 2

Remember my story where the american One Direction sued Simon Cowell and the uk version? Well guess what? The US One Direction have revealed they've received death threats from UK One Direction's fans.

The California-based group are suing One Direction and Simon Cowell's record label over alleged copyright breaches to do with their name.One Direction US frontman Sean O'Leary told the Sun the band and his father, Dan who manages them have received death threats from angry fans of the British group.The 18-year-old frontman claimed they had also been given warnings that fans will chase them with "spoons and carrots", which is a One Direction in-joke.One Direction US have met their lawyer in Los Angeles and vowed to continue their legal battle.

Zayn Malik, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson are currently in Australia, while their record label bosses have said they have been forced to defend the lawsuit.It was revealed earlier this week that Simon Cowell's record label, Syco Entertainment, and Sony Music have been served with a $1 million lawsuit, which claims UK One Direction can't be in the American market without causing consumer confusion.

US One Direction insist they have been using the name since 2009, a year before UK 1D formed.They believe their music is better than the UK band's, but admit they have "huge respect" for them.
