February 26th – 12 years a slave – great film, good score but hard to watch. #oscar #zimmer

Published by under Blog,daily,film,Film Score

I struggled to stop my anger whilst watching “12 Years a Slave”. Hard to enjoy a film which showed how low, the so called human being can go. Let’s not kid ourselves here, this crap still goes on when clearly it shouldn’t.

Great performances all round and it’s also important to acknowledge another minimal but typical re-occurring score from Hans Zimmer. Reminded me of the feel he gave to “Inception”.

Enough waffle, go see this film.

February 25th – amusing Tornado footage from Dudley, UK in 2007 #ukstorm #tornado

About 4 miles from where I live, but I don’t talk like this 🙂 . I was looking for another video to put on here but came across this again. Not watched it in years but it made me smile.

Contains bad language but worth a listen just to hear the excitement from one lad and the “chill out…” from another.

February 23rd – Captain Phillips (2013) – surprising gem for me #oscar

Published by under Blog,daily,film,General

Just finished watching “Captain Phillips”, a film which initially i had no interest in. Then I heard Thomas Newman scored the film but that ended up being incorrect. Thought I would watch it anyway.

What a cracking film and two noticeable performances. Tom Hanks delivers his character really we’ll, especially during his last scene but I think Barkhad Adbi deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of the captain pirate, Muse.

Really surprised…go see it

February 22nd – #IOS bug – #SSL security flaw for over a year

February 22nd – #IOS bug – #SSL security flaw for over a year

Nice write-up on the horrible SSL bug of OSX / iOS: https://t.co/O0qL2jN2FR. Privacy and credentials are allegedly exposed because of this bug. That includes those “secure” website transactions people do via safari for
example.

Further discussion from those who hack, state other parts of the IOS plus apps will be unsecured. Ie Email, twitter etc….

Basically anything lower than 7.0.6 is affected. Update ASAP.
