Well, if you're cinema bound, Tantrum has one serious recommendation - <i>Rush</i>.<br />
<br />

<br />
Telling the story of the rivalry between Formula One drivers Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth), the film is two hours of these well woven characters and their stories, from their first meeting at a Formula Three race to their final showdown in Japan.<br />
<br />
The film is based on a true story - but as we went into it only armed with the vaguest knowledge of Formula One, we can't attest to just which parts have been fabricated for your viewing pleasure.<br />
<br />
Luckily, viewing pleasure leads us nicely on to the topic of a pleasurable degree of nudity and a not so pleasurable degree of gore. The nudity is pretty much strictly PG - and we're pretty sure that things were a lot wilder in the 70s than that. The gory parts are probably personal taste, but for us, tubing down a throat and an exposed shinbone were enough to have us squirming in our seats. That being said, we're not telling you just who gets injured.<br />
<br />
If you can't wait for the movie, you have Wikipedia.<br />
<br />
Stellar performances from the two leading men can't quite hide the fact that any of the female characters could be replaced with an attractive lamp without affecting the story - but to be honest, we weren't expecting anything else from the film. The story is focused on the rivalry between Hunt and Lauda, and the character development, especially of Lauda, is well worth a watch.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/QKAr42gxjhM?rel=0" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The action opens at the end of the 1976 F1 season, and the race to become World Champion, with most of the rest of the film explaining the story leading up to that moment, one which began six years previously. F1 scenes are balanced with a great degree of personal development - although the time jumps do mean that occasionally there will be a blink and you'll miss it moment, leaving especially the relationships the two men have feeling a little empty.<br />
<br />
The balance between off track and on track scenes is perfect, and when you're listening to the roar of the engines, turning through the corners with the drivers, you'll find yourself sitting forward in your seat as you race for pole position, we swear. Not only that, but there's a nice montage in the middle which moves the action along, recapping what you need to know about the intervening races.<br />
<br />
A highly enjoyable film, and one which had us itching to get behind the wheel and pretend we were driving the Nürburgring, we can't recommend <i>Rush</i> more.<br />
<br />
<i>While we recognise that there are other cinema chains out there, we can reveal that Odeon cinemas are running a preview of <b>Gravity</b> before showings of Rush. </i>Tantrum magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06478820022083872498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389665344844717363.post-72598050377270093542013-09-04T23:01:00.001+01:002013-09-04T23:03:40.921+01:00BFI London Film Festival: PreviewStop the presses! Well, we've always wanted to say that, but in this case, we've got breaking news. The line up for the 57th BFI London Film Festival has just been announced, and it's set to be an event to remember.<br />
<br />
With 234 fiction and documentary features, along with screenings of 134 live action and animated shorts, there's a lot to take in - so we've compiled our list of things we're more than a little excited about for your pleasure and convenience.<br />

<br />
<i>Opening and Closing Galas</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
The crown jewels of any film festival, this year's LFF is set to run a Tom Hanks double bill to open and close the event.<br />
<br />
Opening with <i>Captain Phillips </i>and closing with <i>Saving Mr. Banks,</i> we take the journey from a hijacked container ship to the world of Walt Disney and P.L. Travers - not a trip many make, but we'll be interested to see what the outcome is.<br />
<br />
<i>Sponsor Galas</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
What can we say, we're big fans of anything with 'gala' in the name apparently. With six principal galas in this category, there's a lot to watch out for, so here's the CliffNotes version...<br />
<br />
American Express Gala - <i>Philomena</i> (one woman's search for her lost son - Judi Dench, Steve Coogan)<br />
Accenture Gala - <i>12 Years A Slave </i>(based on a true story, a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery - Chiwetel Ejiofor, Brad Pitt)<br />
American Airlines Gala - <i>Gravity </i>(surviving astronauts on a damaged space shuttle - Sandra Bullock, George Clooney)<br />
Centrepiece Gala - <i>Inside Llewyn Davis </i>(singer-songwriter navigating 1960s New York folk scene - Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan)<br />
May Fair Hotel Gala - <i>Labour Day </i>(mother and son encounter an escaped convict who isn't what he seems - Kate Winslet, Josh Brolin)<br />
Festival Gala - <i>The Invisible Woman </i>(based on the story of the affair between Charles Dickens and Nelly Teman - Ralph Fiennes, Felicity Jones)<br />
<br />
<i>Shorts</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Here at Tantrum, we're a big fan of shorts. After the success of The Lion at Edinburgh Film Festival (and yes, we'll go on about that short until the whole world has seen it), we're addicted to finding the next big thing - and letting you know all about it.<br />
<br />
With everything from London Calling, featuring local filmmakers, to the Love Will Conquer All programme, exploring affection, the BFI LFF is set to cater for your short attention span and capture your attention all at once.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Surprise Film</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
With last year's triumph of <i>Silver Linings Playbook</i> still ringing in the ears of all of those brave enough to take the plunge, we can't recommend picking up a ticket to see the Surprise Film more. Come on, in this day and age, a little mystery is a good thing - and definitely unique. Take a chance and you might just see the next big thing before everyone else - what more could anyone want?<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Treasures</i><br />
<br />
Finally, we come to an excellent project showcasing a few restored cinematic triumphs. The strand also launches BFI's exploration of the dark heart of Gothic film (which regular cinemagoers might have seen the trailer for) with La Belle et la Bête, which Tantrum is extremely excited about! It's an impressive list of newly updated cinematic riches and it's well worth watching. You heard it here first.<br />
<br />
<i>The 57th BFI London Film Festival runs from the 9th-20th of October, at a number of London cinematic venues.

From the very first buggy, freezing original Sims game to the flawless Sims 3, we've all become addicted to the rare sensation of absolute omnipotence.<br />
<br />
With a 2014 release date, the Sims 4 is liable to gave us hanging on the edge of the latest Sims 3 Expansion Pack (Sims 3 Island Paradise, by our reckoning) - but will it be worth it in the end?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/WLmN1D1P2RI" width="420"></iframe></div>
<br />
Well, firstly, it's looking like omnipotence just became a whole lot more user friendly. It looks as though the consequence driven gameplay, introduced in the latter Sims 3 expansion packs, will continue into Sims 4, extending into wider society.<br />
<br />
Not only that, but extended body customisations - from changing relationships to choosing your Sim's walk - should mean that your game plays exactly as you always imagined it. Well, if you were power mad, that is.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLWC86hLOE5iB_mTOyXshbmHWXhHwb2wXHL0jATDoIF0I6XnkpwA8KZJtr9HP-7gv3msvACQxyPrM-zIYo8LgITY737Jsxkck_VyBIgcLW22D6J1HY5N1RlmtAYTwxYOlkjrFwJ7laMiA/s1600/TS4.010.CAS8_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLWC86hLOE5iB_mTOyXshbmHWXhHwb2wXHL0jATDoIF0I6XnkpwA8KZJtr9HP-7gv3msvACQxyPrM-zIYo8LgITY737Jsxkck_VyBIgcLW22D6J1HY5N1RlmtAYTwxYOlkjrFwJ7laMiA/s320/TS4.010.CAS8_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Build mode seems to have been optimised too, with the ability to click and drag rooms - useful if, like us, you tend to end up running out of room and creating a long corridor of a bedroom.<br />
<br />
The thing we're most curious about right now is the relatively high pre-order price. £54.99 ($69.99) would buy us quite a bit more than one game; in fact, right now, it would buy a few Sims 3 Expansion packs. Right now, we're not seeing any massive changes that would justify the hike in price.<br />
<br />
Still, there's a long time to go. Maybe future developmental bulletins will shed some light on just why you should break the bank for another Sims instalment. Then again, do any of us really need a reason?Tantrum magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06478820022083872498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389665344844717363.post-13870550616933092092013-08-29T22:59:00.000+01:002013-08-29T22:59:50.213+01:00TV: Adventure Time With Finn and JakeTantrum has never been shy about our love of animation. From The Lion at Edinburgh Film Festival to Despicable Me 2, there's something about animation which appeals to us on a number of levels.<br />
<br />
Some of you might have already watched Adventure Time With Finn and Jake, while for others it might be something which has been merely an edge of consciousness thing. Either way, here are five of reasons you should sit down and watch from the beginning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4vWxZahMkZi5VXipNjG73Wa-PmO7xvdXPTWcy1UFMkM8E-yoV67mEq4KPgQ-lU5Vss3CADLleQIFBBPqew-JGS8FPx7s5fXwZhY3nq9-305KkYtpMVmWuH-mUezbm4Jm1gAwr2zBz3Ec/s1600/Adventure+Time+Season+1+Episode+24-af.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="287" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4vWxZahMkZi5VXipNjG73Wa-PmO7xvdXPTWcy1UFMkM8E-yoV67mEq4KPgQ-lU5Vss3CADLleQIFBBPqew-JGS8FPx7s5fXwZhY3nq9-305KkYtpMVmWuH-mUezbm4Jm1gAwr2zBz3Ec/s320/Adventure+Time+Season+1+Episode+24-af.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<i>1. Not Just For Kids</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
A lot of the time, we're guilty of seeing animation and thinking that it's not really 'appropriate' for an adult. Well, Adventure Time is proof that that just isn't the case. Instead, the show has a whole host of well handled, simply worded messages for adults too. Dealing with everything from death to sexuality, the show manages to be entertaining and meaningful without slipping into preachy - something which many apparently 'mature' shows struggle to manage.<br />
<br />
<i>2. Jake the Dog and Finn the Human</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Our main characters - and while it might not seem that groundbreaking, a boy and his dog as the leads, we think Adventure Time has managed a spin on the old cliche. Finn isn't just a human, he really is 'the' human; the last of his kind. Think Doctor Who, only with more ass kicking, less angst, but the same amount of running. Plus, with Jake being the little (or big, depending on whether he's stretched out or not) ball of yellow sass that he is, things are never boring.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>3. The Female Characters</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
How often do you see strong female cartoon characters? Especially in a show whose primary premise is the rescue of princesses? Well, this is a first for us at least; and it works. Princess Bubblegum is the queen supreme, giving the orders and working on her own science projects, Marceline the Vampire is an ass kicking mystery, and Lumpy Space Princess has survived being homeless and estranged from her family with... well, if not with good grace, at least with a great degree of fortitude. More characters like these please, TV shows.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>4. Songs Galore</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Having spent the past week of work singing the inexplicable-out-of-context 'Daddy, Why Did You Eat My Fries', we can attest to the fact that the songs in the show are <i>addictive. </i>There's not a big production made of them - and generally, no one sings without good reason to. This isn't Glee, people.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>5. All The Cool Kids Are Doing It</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Okay, so it's not a legitimate reason, but it's true. We're all about individuality, but Adventure Time's cult following is well-earned. This time, follow the crowd. You can thank us later.<br />

Let's face it - when Marvel releases a gag reel, you know you're going to be in for a good time. The Avengers reel washed waves of hilarity over the internet, and while the Iron Man 3 one is only thirty or so seconds long, it's far from disappointing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tantrum's highlight has to be the immortal question, 'What kind of crappy suit is this?', although Robert Downey Jr's reaction to the instant classic 'We always cover the ass' is more akin to a fifteen year old than someone pushing fifty. Well, that's part of his charm after all.<br />
<br />
Released as one of the blu-ray extras, there is also set to be a behind the scenes on Thor 2 and an Agent Carter (of Captain America fame) short. Marvel, for all you tease us, you do spoil us sometimes.<br />
<br />
All in all, it's half a minute of hilarity which succeeds in simply making us more impatient for the release on September 9.Tantrum magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06478820022083872498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389665344844717363.post-75191719323818658362013-08-03T14:45:00.000+01:002013-08-21T01:14:01.523+01:00Much Ado About Nothing<div style="text-align: left;">
You wait for ages for a Shakespeare adaptation, then two come along at once - isn't that what they always say? No? Well, we've been waiting patiently since the 1993 film for an update, and within the past two years we've had two fantastic ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
David Tennant and Catherine Tate's stint as Benedick and Beatrice was met with critical acclaim, the pair's chemistry from Doctor Who just as prevalent in their stage performance as it ever was on screen. Made available by Digital Theatre, legions of disappointed fans were able to experience the show as it was intended to be performed.<br />

While the stage adaptation was modernised, it wasn't done to quite the same extent as the latest adaptation to hit our screens. Joss Whedon (of Avengers Assemble and Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog fame) recorded his own version with a group of friends at his own house, and the result is something intimate and compelling. </div>

Filmed entirely in black and white, the film follows the play's dialogue with an updated setting. Star turns from Clark Gregg (as Leonato) and Nathan Fillion (as Dogberry) are backed up by an extremely talented ensemble. Special mention has to go to Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof as Beatrice and Benedict respectively - arguably the two most important characters in any version of the play.<br />
<br />
A superb play, excellently performed, and you get to flaunt your cultured credentials afterwards - what more could you want?<br />

At Tantrum, we're fans of old movies as well as new. While <i>Galaxy Quest</i> doesn't quite make it into the ancient stakes yet, the 1999 film is far enough removed from the present to be considered a cult classic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Focusing on the cast of a TV sci-fi show, the film follows what happens when they are recruited by real life aliens who hope that the team can save them from another hoard of angry, war-mongering aliens.</div>

As you can see, it's an all star cast. Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver... and that's just to name three. Tony Shalhoub (who later found further fame as Adrian Monk in <i>Monk</i>), Daryl Mitchell (of <i>Brothers</i> and <i>Ed</i> fame), and Sam Rockwell (well, what hasn't he been in?) make up the rest of the principal characters. Not only that, but star turns from Enrico Colantoni and Missi Pyle as two of the Thermians mean that the supporting cast is just as entertaining.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In saying that, special mentions have to go to Alan Rickman and Sam Rockwell, both of whom bring the necessary humour to their roles. Rickman stars as a frustrated actor whose ambitions were far loftier than a second rate sci-fi show, and Rockwell is equally as hilarious as 'Extra Number 6,' whose constant worry is that he's going to be killed off as a spare.</div>

It's 1999, so you can't really expect 21st century special effects - nor do you get them - but it's worth it anyway. Perhaps part of its charm is in the low rent feel of the film. You almost feel like somewhere in the world, this could be happening... well, to a certain extent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's a surprisingly heartwarming film, with engaging characters and plenty of laughs along the way. Buying into all of the sci-fi cliches it's parodying, <i>Galaxy Quest</i> is a must for anyone who has so much as looked at the sky and wondered what lay beyond.</div>

Having so recently left the student domain, we here at
Tantrum have an affinity for the student population. Not that we want to go
back, you understand – but watching others go through the same rites of passage
we did is a kind of divine retribution.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
That being said, we don’t remember having half as much fun
as it looks like they do at Monsters University. This is definitely a movie
catering primarily to those fans who were children at the time Monsters Inc.
was released – or at least, it will mean most to that particular demographic.<o:p></o:p></div>

Assimilating popular American college stereotypes into a
movie about animated monsters was always going to have its difficulties, but
the subject matter is handled with aplomb. Prequels are also notoriously
tricky, but the developing friendship between Mike and Sully is done deftly
enough for it to become believable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, the movie isn’t groundbreaking in the way its
predecessor was, and the opening sequence relies heavily on both prior
affection for Mike and the nostalgia of the scare floor of Monsters Inc. This
doesn’t make it bad – far from it. It’s an easy introduction, grounding the
characters in the new environment of the university.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The stand out character for us in the film has to be Dean
Hardscrabble, voiced by the perfectly chilling Helen Mirren. Just listening to
the sound effects as she moves around the classroom was enough to give us the
shivers, even if we hadn’t all remembered having a teacher just like her in our
school careers. As with all kids movies, there is no such thing as an
irredeemable villain – but you’re going to have to wait to find out just what
redemption is offered.<o:p></o:p></div>

Message wise, Monsters University does bring something new.
The idea that university isn’t the only way to succeed in life and that hard
work does pay off is incredibly important – as is the very clear statement that
we can’t all be brilliant at everything. As they say in A Very Potter Musical,
okay isn’t just good, okay is wonderful – and we feel that kids and adults
alike could do with being reminded of that fact.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In short, if you liked Monsters Inc., you'll like this. Another example of how Pixar's animation is some of the best around, with familiar characters and a lesson actually worth listening to - just don't expect it to revolutionise your life. As the film itself says - average is worthwhile. </div>

Before you watch The Conjuring, ask yourself one thing – are
you ready to be terrified beyond comprehension? If the answer is yes, then we
suggest you go ahead and watch… although you might also want to take someone to
hide behind. Just a suggestion.</div>

The premise itself isn’t all that unique. A 1970s
picturesque family move to a house in the country and start experiencing
strange things – we know, so far, so typical horror movie. What makes this
particular movie so utterly chilling is some stand out performances, excellent
direction, a killer soundtrack, and… well, the scares.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No cheap tricks a la Paranormal Activity for The Conjuring.
Based on a true story, the happenings are chilling enough on their own without
the usual dropped heavy object or the bird in the fireplace – yes, Woman In
Black, we’re looking at you. When the fear comes, and comes in waves spaced
perfectly to allow you to almost relax in between, it comes wholeheartedly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While of course there are some tropes that the film can’t
avoid – the angelic looking child with an imaginary friend, the obligatory hair
pulled by an invisible force scene, and the attempt to get rid of a possessed
object known to move by throwing it in the bin to name a few – there are enough
new twists and turns to make it something fresh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Spanning nearly two hours, the film is a mastery of the slow
build to a crescendo which has everything coming to a head in true horror
fashion. That being said, the opening scenes are particularly noteworthy in the
genre for simply diving into the horror they’re depicting. For all they’ve been
used over and over, we’re pretty sure that possessed dolls are pretty much the
creepiest thing we’ve ever seen.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The cast, especially given the youth of some of the
actresses, do a stellar job of bringing the story to life. Patrick Wilson and
Vera Farmiga are particularly outstanding as the paranormal researchers Ed and
Lorraine Wilson, giving the movie a much welcomed comic relief at points and
true heart at others. Particular gems of Ed’s include ‘Sometimes it’s better to
keep the genie in the bottle,’ and our personal favourite, ‘When you get
haunted, it’s like stepping on gum.’
What can we say, the man’s not wrong.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’ll be building blanket forts
and hiding out among large groups of people until the terror passes.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Traditionally,
Parisian cinema falls easily into one of two categories. You have the quirky,
off the path films that warm your heart, and those that are incomprehensible,
falling over themselves trying to be cool. Luckily, Parisian Countdown (or Le
Jour attendra) falls into neither of these.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
film follows old friend Milan (Olivier Marchal) and Victor (Jaques Gamblin) as
they try to navigate their way through a world they supposedly left behind
years ago, after betraying a vengeful psychopath. Reunited once more, they’re
left to near desperate damage control as events spiral beyond their control,
and the question becomes simply how long can their fractured friendship take
the strain?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
plot of the movie might sound familiar, but we had a pleasant surprise in
store. This isn’t your run of the mill mid-life crisis film – these are men who
are now cut adrift in the world that brought them everything they have now. Add
to that a soundtrack that should have mass appeal, an impressively authentic
feeling club scene, and a final scene sharp enough to lift the film above the
rest of its genre. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
performances from the two lead actors are outstanding, bringing to life the dry
humour which characterises the film. The chemistry between Marchal and Gamblin
is enough to convince the audience that they are in fact long time friends,
with the characteristic backbiting and familiarity that’s born from any kind of
long term relationship. Our favourite one liner (of which there were many) had
to be the wonderful “Japanese culture is too subtle for you.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
film is subtitled, performed in the original French, and it’s all the better
for it. We believe that there are some subtleties of language that English can’t
quite capture, and let’s face it – insults always sound far better in French.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
setting is of course the city of love itself, and we’re struggling to think of
a time the streets and the Seine were put to better use. Never overshadowing
the performances of the actors, the picturesque scenery was the perfect foil to the
gritty feel of the story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Brutal
at points, touching at others, and never failing to entertain, Paris Countdown
uses the city as an effective backdrop to what is essentially a story of the
hold old ties have over us all.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<br />
At last, the day has arrived. Cue fanfare and trumpeters worthy of welcoming the King Under The Mountain himself...<br />
<br />
So why should you be excited? That is, of course, if you're not already. Well, here's a comprehensive (disclaimer; comprehensive here might not stand up to dictionary definition) guide to why The Desolation of Smaug is going to be the best thing to happen to December since Christmas...<br />
<br />
[1] A voiceover from Thranduil stating the obvious to a clearly unimpressed Thorin. Thank you for close captioning his pain, Elven King. Really summed up the whole first movie in thirty seconds.<br />
[2] Scenery porn. Seriously, Mirkwood sounded horrific in the books and I'd be happy to live even there.<br />
[3] Bilbo and his butterflies. We're torn between the adorable freeness of the moment, and giggling at the idea of King of Grumpiness Martin Freeman having to film that scene.<br />
[4] Barrels everywhere! Oh, Killi, you make it look like such fun. Expect to see Barrel Bobbing at the next Olympics - you heard it here first.<br />
[5] Legolas and appropriate prequel character regression. Watch this trailer, then watch Return of the King. We dare you.<br />
[6] Tauriel. Oh, Tauriel. You call Legolas out and continue being the most badass elf warrior to grace Mirkwood.<br />
[7] Gandalf and his mysterious missions. This one looks like one of the best, especially since Sir Ian McKellen will hopefully get to act with people who aren't just green screens.<br />
[8] Giant spiders. Having Harry Potter movie flashbacks and planning just who we're going to hide behind in the cinema already.<br />
[9] Bard, archery everywhere, and 'my lad.' Plus, the set up for the biggest troll (in the modern rather than Tolkien universe sense) of the whole trailer and our last point...<br />
[10] SMAUG. Oh, you glorious beast you. We're placing our bet for Villan of the Year right now...<br />
<br />
That's it then. If you're not excited by now, we don't suppose you ever will be. All that's left now is to find a way to pass the time until December. We're sure something will turn up.Tantrum magazinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06478820022083872498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389665344844717363.post-51548898637360252262013-06-07T15:44:00.002+01:002013-08-21T01:11:43.527+01:00Like The Films Of Old.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a truth universally acknowledged that everyone has one
film they love that they’d be ashamed to show anyone else. Well, that’s not
quite how the quote goes, but it’s true nevertheless. The question is, just
what makes us love them anyway?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Having watched Soapdish, the 1991 film starring Sally
Fields, Whoopi Goldberg, and an incredibly young Robert Downey Jr, I can
testify that it’s terrible. Deeply, heartily curled up with embarrassment as
you watch terrible. Yet despite that, I can’t stop replaying it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The story is simple. A soap opera actress at the height of
her fame is being gleefully pushed from her pedestal by fame hungry newcomers,
an old lover, and her scheming producer who’s just looking to get laid. Life
mimics art as the real life dramas threaten to overshadow the show itself,
culminating in a live episode to decide the fates of the characters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Perhaps the only redeeming feature of this movie is its
cast. The actors and actresses play to the ridiculous aspects, and the script
has some surprisingly witty moments for them to work with. Not a serious film,
definitely a product of its time, and yet so long as you treat it with the
levity and suspension of reality that it demands, this terrible film becomes
strangely hypnotic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FwDSYbNSmss" width="420"></iframe></span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: normal;">For me, Soapdish is a reminder that not all cinema has to be
hard hitting and serious to become a classic. It might be ridiculous, with
little discernible plot and absolutely no real world relevance, but I’ll take
it over The Great Gatsby anyday.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

It has been a while, has it not?
</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not that it matters. Having been away delving into my pile of incredible music coming your way, I've unearthed another gem - and you can keep all smart remarks bottled up in those pretty heads of yours... if you don't feel like tweeting them or posting them all over facebook, that is.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arc & Stones are headed your way with their self-titled EP, and you'd better be ready for them. Easy listening only in the sense that their music makes its way into your brain via the classic weakness for moody guitar and clever lyrics. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F59440155" width="100%"></iframe><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's something about this EP that remains with you long after you stop listening, a mournful vocal or a haunting guitar lyric that keeps you hooked and coming back for more. At the same time however, you're not getting hooked on the same old sadness - this is powerful, uplifting stuff, while recognising the bitterness the edges every human emotion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Okay, cutting it down to the very basics. Guitar rock with a modern edge, Arc & Stones are a band that you won't want to miss this year. A genre that's dying for new life has finally had CPR, and you'll want to be first on the scene.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A disturbing euphemism, but listen to the track and try to tell me I'm wrong. In fact, I've listened to it countless times, and yet I can't find fault. Just kick up the volume and watch the winter seep away.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everyone knows a gal's best friend is her handbag. I mean come on, what would we do without them? Where else would we store our credit cards, keys, phone, diary, endless supplies of skittles and gummy bears and, of course, the countless amounts of random crap you find whilst rummaging around your trusty carry-all (yep we're talking half-empty packets of gum, nail polish, Hello Kitty stickers, and that lipbalm you've been searching the last 2 weeks for...)</span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to bags, there's no doubt that we're spoiled for choice, but lately the only bag on our minds has been the long-awaited lovechild of print design pioneers Basso & Brooke and The Cambridge Satchel Company.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Cambridge Satchel Company's unique, handcrafted, high-quality (and highly-coveted) satchels teamed with Basso & Brooke's eye-catching and inimitable graphic prints? ERR, YES PLEASE. These beauties are a far cry from the dreary connotations of the traditional paper-bag-brown school satchels from yesteryear, this is another designer collaboration that's surpassed our expectations (which, to be fair, were pretty high in the first place). </span></div>

Once seen as sacred religious and spiritual symbols, they stumbled into pop culture's mainstream and have long since been an icon for anarchy.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Leopard-print, lace and leather; That's
what Felder Felder girls are made of. Although for SS13, the twins
added bold hues of blue, violet and tangerine to their roster,
alongside the swathes of chiffon. All in all, it was a welcome detour
from their usual hard-hitting edgy rock 'n' roll aesthetic. </span><span id="goog_168728909"></span><span id="goog_168728910"></span></div>

to say, however, that the collection didn't have that strong Felder
feel about it. Floaty, almost ethereal chiffon skirts and dresses,
sheer button-up blouses and one-pieces with floral appliques, along
with an interesting graphic print, reminiscent of the changing tides
of the sea pretty much sum up the Felder Felder look for next season. </span></div>

MFP came to realise her calling as a jewellery designer upon graduating from CSM, London. Her designs are always one of our favourites to see at LFW, however now we can get our Pepe fix on a regular basis- Yes you can all have a little celebratory wiggle because If you haven't heard already, MFP has infused her rather perfect mix of femininity and edginess into an 8-piece collection for Urban Outfitters. We hope you are all as excited as we are! If the time it took to leave Tantrum HQ to the nearest store was an Olympic sport, Britain would be in for another gold.</span></span></span><br />

Now, we don't know about you, but we just can't wait to pay homage to our idols (and cute bow-tie-wearing cats...) by wearing these one-of-a-kind handmade beauties round our necks! </span></span><br />

Remember drawing all over your friend's arms with an array of bright crayons trying to fool everyone in the playground that yes, you may be 8 years old but those strange doodles are, in fact, super-awesome REAL tattoos? Crayons and skin never did work did they?... those waxy lil' beggars! </span></span></span><br />

<span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The fun with Crayola can be recreated with the amazing (and much-anticipated) release of Crayola Mini Nail Varnishes. Sacrifice your wax stick and paper for some nail art fun! There are 8 colours in a box, all of which resemble a crayon, some are glittery, some metallic and some oozing a shiny finish and what's better is that they come in a big authentic yellow Crayola box... Now if that hasn't got your inner child jumping for joy, we don't know what will! </span></span></span><br />
