Flight of the Conchords Tour Dates Confirmed(alic)

No one would've guessed that two oddballs from New Zealand would make it big on American TV, but Flight of The Conchords were amongst the first comedians to prove you dont need to be Ashton Kutcher or Chris Rock to make it in the comedy world. Ever since Bret McKenzie dropped word of an Oz tour back in Feb we've been hanging for some dates to be locked in, and today we finally got that prized presser. Happy Easter!

The boys will be in the country for an eleven-date tour in July, taking their signature musical comedy and covering bases from coast to coast. It's been two years since McKenzie and Jermain Clement wrapped up their HBO series, which was based on the group's attempt at making it big in New York - in the meantime, the comedy-folk duo had parted ways for a while, with Bret most recently earning an Oscar nomination for his work on The Muppets movie soundtrack.

But the group hasn't disbanded of course, and this coming trip to Australia will be the Flight of The Conchords' first headline visit down under.

Ticket sales start from 9am Tuesday 17 April.


Just For Laughs Returns to Sydney (alic)

Yep, we love a daggy dad joke as much as the next person (“man walks into a bar” gags are traded like a commodity by the coffee machine) but drop one in a comedy club and you could end up all deer-in-the-headlights, upstaged by the heckling of drunken yobbos, or worse still, met with sympathetic forced laugher from those who can’t avoid eye contact in the front row. That’s why we’re leaving the LOL-inducing witticisms to the professionals, when a whole gaggle of them head to the Sydney Opera House for the second ever Just For Laughs comedy gala.

Packing their bags and punchlines for Just For Laughs this October is a selection of the finest local and international comedians around, including Who’s Line Is It Anyway? host and ‘90s nostalgia card Drew Carey, Flight of the Conchords’ ginger manager and NZ funny man Rhys Darby, absurdist mastermind behind the Mighty Boosh, Mr. Noel Fielding, and Breaking Bad’s Bill Burr. There are also local laugh inducers Adam Hills and Sam Simmons on the lineup that stretches from August 18-20.

Now in its second year, we’re really hoping Just For Laughs becomes a regular event we can pencil into our diaries. Our tickle bones are still recovering from last year’s lineup of Dylan Moran, Margaret Cho, Louis C.K. and the godfather of slapstick himself, John Cleese, amongst others.

Now for the $$$ deets: there are pick’n’mix packs available from the Sydney Opera House website which offer three events for the price of two (with a choice of Bill Burr, Sam Simmons, Amp’d and the Nasty Show). This will save you 40 clams. Otherwise, all shows, prices and times can be found here and snapped up from 9am, Monday 20 August.

Step Up 4 Yuhao Zong

The movie Step Up 4 is release on 4th of Aug, Step Up Revolution (also known as Step Up 4: Miami Heat, and previously titled Step Up 4Ever) is an American 3D dance film produced by Step Up 3D director Jon M. Chu and directed by Scott Speer. The fourth installment in the Step Up film series was released on July 27, 2012 and stars Kathryn McCormick from the sixth season of So You Think You Can Dance and features choreography by Jamal Sims, Christopher Scott, Chuck Maldonad and Travis Wall. The production design was created by Carlos A. Menendez. Unlike the first three films produced by Touchstone Pictures and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, this film is the first to be produced and distributed by Summit Entertainment without Touchstone's involvement.
The movie has invite world best dancers join together. However my favourite star Moose just comes at the end of movie. But I like Step Up 3 more than Step Up 4 because in Step Up 3 the dance performance and the music is better than Step Up 4, after watched Step Up 3 I can strong feel that I want dance straight way, this feeling doesn’t come after I watch Step Up 4. But  I still recommend you to watch this movie lol.

The Dark Knight Rises - Nick

Okay I finally figured out the issues with the website. One of the blogs is bugged due to the blog being disabled for spam. So now that that is fixed, this will be the first post that isn't an introduction.

As mentioned previously, this blog is about entertainment in general. I recently saw The Dark Knight Rises and I will post my thoughts and opinions on it, as well as a brief background.

The Dark Knight Rises is the 3rd and final installment of the new revitalized Batman series. The first being Batman Begins and the 2nd being the Dark Knight.

The Dark Knight Rises takes place 8 years after Batman vanished as a result of the conclusion of the Dark Knight. The city is seemingly clear of crime but is now falling into the grip of the terrorist Bane, who was taught under the same person as Batman.

Now, my thoughts. I am a great fan of this series as I believe the original Batman movies were too clean and bright for movies about a hero who dresses up in a bat suit and blends into the nights. With this revitalized series, everything is much darker, which suits my tastes all the better.

Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was the highlight of the Dark Knight and was a tough act to follow for Tom Hardy, the actor who plays Bane. However I believe his performance was a very good follow up to Ledger's. His voice was both sophisticated but psychotic, and perfect for witty one liners.

The storyline is unexpected and strong at the start and end, the middle however it tends to lengthen a bit, but is none the less entertaining and action packed. The plot itself is strong too, with Bane's mysterious background being explored throughout the story, becoming a sub-story to the plot. Catwoman introduced as an unpredictable anti-hero is also a welcome change.

In conclusion: I loved it and would recommend it. It was an awesome finale to the popular series.
