The “Fifth Beatle” also known as
Sir George Martin has died at the
age of 90 and was part of the old
band “The Beatles”, they released
songs like “When I’m 64” and
other songs that I won’t mention
because this is about the news
not songs.
Paul McCartney says that he will

also a part of “The Beatles” and

As you can read from the title I
will be reviewing Ant-Man
Ant-Man was made in 2015 and
was released in march and became very popular ever since
then. The thing I like the most
about this movie is that how
such an unknown comic character can become so famous just
because it was made by marvel.
But you do need to give marvel a
round of applause for amazing
marketing but anyway in my
opinion Ant-man is definitely in
the top 10 list of superhero
movies in 2015 which I think
lots of people agree with. But
basically the main character is
called Scott Lang and is a cat
burglar until hired by a retired
millionaire called hank Pym
and he was hired to steal a
suit that shrinks people while
he is using a suit that shrinks
people it’s a little complicated.
But then it goes onto Hank Pym
in a tank
And then this bit is a major spoilers so the only way to subdue
the bad guy is by going so small
that he can destroy the chips inside his suit but the problem is
there is no way to get back until
he realises that he has things
that enlarge things so he uses
them and gets out of being small.
In my opinion was amazing and I
would rate it 8.5/10

Hail, Caesar!
Written By: Sam Lupson
Hail Caesar is the new film written and directed by the Coen brothers, two of my favourite directors . The film centres around
a studio executive named Eddie Mannix
(played brilliantly by Josh Brolin) who discovers that one of his movie stars (A hilarious George Clooney) has been kidnapped,
but that’s only half the plot as there are
many other things that happen which I
won’t spoil. The performances are brilliant, they’re by far the best aspect of this
film. From Brolin’s troubled studio executive to Ralph Fiennes’ serious director,
everyone is amazing, however, the standout star of Hail, Caesar is Alden Erenriech,
he plays Hobie Doyle, an actor who always
appears in Westerns, he’s a fan favourite
action star who, when cast in a real drama,
has absolutely no talent. This creates one
of the funniest scenes in the film in which
Doyle tries to hide his accent throughout
what’s meant to be a serious dramatic moment.
That brings me on to the issues that I have
with Hail, Caesar! It’s not actually that funny. The film thinks it is far funnier than it
actually is, there are about three funny
moments in the film , yes they are still funny but it does make the film quite boring
at times.
However, by far the biggest problem with
this film is the tone. It changes from comedic to a detective noir story to a patriotic
story to even a biblical story, it feels very
disjointed and just makes the film feel like
a narrative mess.
My final problem is relatively minor but
still needs mentioning. It ends rather abruptly. Now, the Coen’s have done this before in lots of their other films and it has
now become one of their signatures, however, it leaves you feeling unsatisfied with
the film.
Overall, Hail, Caesar! Is a film with a brilliant script with fantastic actors trying to
make the best of what they seem to know
Another brilliant aspect of Hail, Caesar!
is a bleak situation. If it weren’t for the
are the films within the film, it’s the Coen’s major tonal issues and the far too subtle
love letter to 60’s Hollywood and some of references, Hail, Caesar! Would be a fun

REVIEW: this was a very
delicious cake when I tried it
I would definitely try it again
and I suggest you do as
well. The reason I did not do
a recipe for the icing is because most people like to
choose their own but I had it
with a type of chocolate icing and coconut shavings
but you do not have to do
that but overall I would rate
this cake 9/10 and would be
a must try on my list and I
hope you enjoy it!
