News Round-Up 15 March 2014 - The VERONICA!!!!!!!!! Edition

So, Val, "How is the Veronica Mars film?", you ask?
Well, I liked it. A lot. From the reviews I've read this morning, a few people are a bit disappointed, others, like me, aren't.
It was nice to get back to the familiar characters, it felt like reuniting with friends you haven't seen in a long time but chat to like you saw them the day before. It is definitely going to get watched again this week end, and I am considering diving back to the series once again.

I have seen a few other things recently, like Dallas Buyers Club, The Invisible Woman, Out of the Furnace, Inside Llewyn Davis and August: Osage County. All good apart from August, which had a few good bits but mostly was boring with really horrible characters. Possibly the worst film I went to see in a very long time. The only redeeming thing was lovely Benedict, in my humble opinion. 
I also saw The Wind Rises and it was beautiful. Highly recommended.

In other news, I am playing South Park: The Stick of Truth (Trailer here). And it's REALLY funny. Although, *spoiler alerts* I am stuck late in the game trying to disarm a snuke, which is getting annoying now as I can't figure out what I'm not doing properly.

In the proper news:
- Four Weddings and a Funeral is 20 years old :O
- Idris Elba will voice Shere Khan
- 12 Years a Slave isn't popular with American Republicans, which is one more reason to like this amazing film.
- Fargo as a TV series?
- Jackie Chan is going to manage a K-Pop band? There is a lot of WTF associated with this.
- "Movie trailer voiceover legend" dies. Which reminded me of one of my favourite comedies of last year "In a World"
- A remake of The Birds? Produced by Michael Bay??? I don't know what to say.
- The Last of Us will be made into a film. And once again I find myself wishing this isn't going to be screwed up in the process. 

That's all, folks! Now off to the pub to watch the last day of the Six Nations.
