Time to talk about yet another one of my favourite US sitcoms, this time one of the lesser known ones, it's the Community College set, Community!!
Simply, seven loveable misfits form a study group in a Community College (It's a bit like the Open University) and get into crazy adventures both in and out of College and sometimes reality. What I love about this show is the sheer uniqueness of the format, writing and style of it and of course the cultural references!
The characters are brilliantly created, written and acted, especially Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) who is a Film and TV nerd (like me!), Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) the unofficial leader of the group and Ben Chang (Ken Jeong) the college's former Spanish teacher now student. Abed basically lives his life as a TV show and doesn't understand real life, admit it, you'd want to live in a TV show (The Big Bang Theory would be mine!) Jeff is a character who has grown the most, he started the study group mainly to get with Britta Perry (Gillian Jacobs) and now after the third season is searching for his long-lost father, emotional stuff. Senor Chang is very weird, but you can't help but love him and hate him in separate measures, it does make me very Chang-ry though! Other characters are Troy Barnes (Donald Glover) a former high school Quarterback, Annie Edison (Alison Brie) the well-organised one, Shirley Bennett (Yvette Nicole Brown) a religious housewife, Pierce Hawthorne (Chevy Chase) a businessman with old-world views and Craig Pelton (Jim Rash) the college's flamboyant Dean.
The show's format is very odd, some episodes are very normal, but at least a third of them are completely different styles, they have had war-style episodes with paintball, an episode entirely in clay-mation, a episode where they play Dungeons & Dragons and a few set as a documentary. Most of these are the best episodes, the paintball episode is one of my favourites. It's a very unusual way of telling stories, but at least they know that, Jeff usually points out the silliness of these stories and that makes them okay.
The first season is on DVD and the second season will be out soon in the UK, anyone reading this is the US will know season 4 is on TV soon, so watch out for this quirky, yet enjoyable show!

TV: Total Wipeout
Now for a spot of game shows, namely Total Wipeout, the show which sees grown men and women act like idiots and fall off stuff.
It's amazing now I can describe an entire show in one sentence and it's simply that and that's why I love this show, actually I love the US version more, but this is still good. It's just simple TV, nothing too complicated, too clever or too serious and sometimes it's what we need, especially on a Saturday night, we want fun and this is good clean fun!
My main concern is the BBC's treatment of this show, stick it on any other channel and get the same ratings as they get on BBC One and they'd move heaven and earth to add more to the budget, but the BBC give it very little budget and advertising and it looks very cheap and tacky, they won't even let be in HD! Plus, I don't think the presenters are right for the show either, Richard Hammond does a good job, but seeing him on Top Gear as well just doesn't match and I just think he does this for the money, though I don't think he gets much! I personally think Blue Peter presenter Barney Harwood would be brilliant on the show. I'm a bit on the fence with Amanda Byram, the way she acts silly on the show is a bit cringy, you need someone whose known for being a bit on the crazy side, maybe The One Show's Alex Jones?
But enough tweaking, I love this show and I would love to see the BBC give this show a bit more effort or put it on another channel, maybe Channel 4 or Sky 1.

TV: The X Factor UK
From sitcoms to talent shows in this month of TV. And we start the talent show portion with the king of talent shows, The X Factor!
Now I may be the only straight male watching this for the singing, but I can say I love watching this show every Saturday night for three reasons.
One: The show is entertaining. Now there maybe a few actual talents each year but what a lot of people love to see is the nutters or people who can't sing and they make the auditions much more fun than just seeing people who can actually sing as sometimes that can get boring. Every now and again you'll find someone who'll make you go "wow" and those moments I love and hence why I think this show has it probably once every episode.
Two: The judges. I don't think there's ever been a bad X Factor judge, usually each one gets the hang of it around their second series, but each one has their own style. Whether you love or hate Simon Cowell, he knows what he's talking about and not only does he commend those who can sing, he also looks as their branding, image and potential, because it's all well and good having the chops, but you won't last in the music biz if you don't make music that's good or act too cocky or boring and that's why no one from The Voice has made it big yet, most of them are very good singers, but are quite dull!
Three: The success stories. The first four series of the show had no one who could make it big (apart from Leona Lewis) but once Cheryl Cole was brought in, the show not only changed in style, but it changed in the way they brand and promote the acts, the fifth series has seen Alexandra Burke do well and JLS go on to be the biggest boy band in the country right now, but also Olly Murs, Cher Lloyd, Rebecca Ferguson, One Direction, Little Mix and Amelia Lily have been doing well too, expecially Cher Lloyd and One Direction, who are big stuff in America!
So like it or lump it, X Factor has made stars and judging by this year's bunch, a few more have got potential to join the big leagues, so it's four yeses and we'll see you at bootcamp!!

TV: The Big Bang Theory
Now I did say September would be the month of television, mainly because a lot of my favourite shows begin around this time and I will begin with my favourite comedy, The Big Bang Theory! For those out of this nerdy loop I will briefly explain.
Basically, the show follows 4 very nerdy guys when 2 of them get a attractive new neighbour called Penny and things go on from there, such as Physics Bowls, Arctic expeditions, Bowling, 21 seconds of Indiana Jones and Fruit Loops. I have loved this show since episode one, why I love it is because I myself am a bit of a geek, even more so after 5 years of this show, and it speaks to me more than other sitcoms, there are many great sitcoms, which I will talk about over this month, but this is my sitcom.
The show has changed a lot since take-out on the couch, there have been new characters, Amy Ferrah Fowler comes to mind as she's probably the new one most people like, she's been nominated for an Emmy and only Jim Parsons gets nominated for Emmys. The Penny-Leonard Relationship has also evolved too, they are now in a Beta-test stage, which I think all relationships should have by the way! When the show started I thought it'd be great if Leonard and Penny got together, but now I'm not sure. Being a sitcom nerd, I know it'll happen, but if it were me, I'd bring another female into the mix and let Leonard really decide between her and Penny and maybe Penny would try harder to be with Leonard, not that I've given it much thought! One character whose changed the most is Howard Wolowitz, the sex-crazed bright shirt wearing Jewish guy who lives with his mother is, at times, my second favourite character. He has now changed into Mr. Committed now he's married to Bernadette, one of my favourite episodes is where she learns about his seedy past and the speech he gives to Penny is one of the sweetest things ever heard on television.
Finally I must dedicate this part of the post to Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper. Possibly the best comedy character ever created. What I think people love about him is his uniqueness, there is no one like him on a sitcom today, you have your Charlie Harpers and your Barney Stinsons, but Sheldon is a very rare thing and he intrigues people in a way you want to see how he sees the world. Jim Parsons has played Sheldon for 5 years and has gained a loyal fanbase, critical acclaim and a number of awards and may it forever continue!
Thus begin-eth the month of TV!!

Opinion: Gangnam Style
I know what you're all thinking, what the hell is "Gangnam Style"? Well folks, I'll tell you. It's a music video for a song by Korean mega star PSY and I'll say to you right now, it's very weird, very random and very funny!
The song itself is about the Gangnam lifestyle which people live in Seoul, South Korea. The majority of the song is in Korean, apart from a few English words thrown in for the hell of it! Looking at the video, you wouldn't think it had anything to do with lifestyle, if so a very unique lifestyle, as it's a very odd video but that's it's appeal, the sheer randomness of it all, the song itself is a catchy tune.
The video has had a massive reaction in Korea and it's starting to make waves is the US, as PSY is currently in the US and the video is #2 in the Youtube 100, so he's becoming a worldwide star. It's yet to have an impact in the UK yet, but as one domino falls, another's bound to follow!
If you want to watch the video, click the link below and see what the world has seen over 40 million times!

Film: Batman Vs. Spiderman
Been holding this one off for a while now, but here it is. The mighty battle between The Amazing Spiderman and The Dark Knight Rises. We'll start with Spiderman.
Of course this film got a mixed reception since it's announcement, whether it was too early for a reboot or whether Andrew Garfield was the right choice or the replacement of Mary Jane to Gwen Stacy as the main love interest would be given public approval. I can say that all these changes were acceptable after seeing the film. I still think 5 years since the last film to reboot was a shock decision, but if you take the previous films out of the equation, this film was very enjoyable, very clever and well produced. Now the big question that plagued me was the replacement of Tobey Maguire, he was the quintessential Peter Parker/Spiderman, he looked the part, acted the part and you loved him regardless, but would Andrew Garfield do all that and more? He looked less geeky, a bit more "Rock n' Roll" and you wouldn't mess with him even without his Spidey suit. My diagnosis: Maguire's Peter was consistently liked, he did no more, no less, Garfield's Peter either made you loathe him or instantly respect him, so there is an inpass.
Now the film itself. Of course, there were some similar plot points, Peter's spider bite, Uncle Ben's murder and Oscorp playing a big part, however what I really liked, which I didn't expect to like, was Peter and Gwen's relationship, none of the will-they-won't-they crap, they got to the point, they did what old Peter and Mary-Jane did in 3 films all in one film and that begs the question of a sequel, what will happen next for the couple? The baddie in this film, The Lizard, played brilliantly by Rhys Ifans, had a whiff of Doctor Octopus about him. A doctor wanting to improve his physical form, things go wrong and Spidey has to stop him, but while Doc Ock dies in Spiderman 2, The Lizard gets arrested, maybe a return for the one-armed bandit/lizard, but we shall see. There was some heart-tugging moments in this film, Uncle Ben's death is always a tear-jerker, especially as it's Martin Sheen in this case, but I was shocked when Gwen's father died at the hands, or claws, of The Lizard, I wanted him to live to see his daughter, but sadly this wasn't to be and Peter had to break-up with Gwen to stop her suffering the same fate, poetic in a way.
So in conclusion, this film was neither better or worse than it's predecessors, but I bet they'll be a couple more adventures for Spiderman to come and I'm excited. One thing I do miss are 3 words, or two words and a letter, J Jonah Jameson!
Now for The Dark Knight Rises, this wasn't a reboot, this was a sequel and one hell of an epic one at that! New characters, new baddies and Gotham in even more danger than usual, who ya gonna call? Batman!
First of all, everyone crows on about how brilliant The Dark Knight was, Heath Ledger was the best part and everything else was alright, if anything, The Dark Knight wasn't a superhero film, it was a gangster film, The Dark Knight Rises was actually a superhero film! The first thing that I realised about this film had the whole cast from Inception in it, apart from it's star bookings Dicaprio and Page, so myself and my friends said this film was the cast of Inception playing Batman.
When I heard the film's baddie was Bane, I, like many people said "Who? Why not The Riddler or The Penguin or someone we all know?" But seeing this film made me realise how bad-ass Bane really is, while The Joker is the thinking man's baddie, Bane is more the violent type, but there is an air of intelligence about him, though it could've been the British accent! We were also treated to Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, who we all knew was Catwoman, but was never actually said, maybe an attempt to move away from Halle Berry's failed protrayal of her was mentioned in the "How do we get people to watch this film without mentioning Halle Berry as Catwoman" meeting, or it may have been a bit too cheesy in an all-round serious film. However Hathaway did play her very well. Something I did notice was there was very little of Batman in this film, you'd think in a Batman film, you'd get the caped crusader in almost all of the scenes, but this wasn't the case, Bruce Wayne wasn't in it much either, or Alfred, or Gordon or Lucius, pretty much anyone who has starred in both the previous films had very little screen time in the third one. This was a a shame, as Michael Caine was excellent in this film, Alfred became more three-dimensional and Caine really rose to the challenge. Also Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard were brilliant too and Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman goes without saying.
The film's story was a much simpler one, but I felt it was a more effective one, instead of constant twists and turns that The Dark Knight gave us, TDKR focused on the reprecussions of the previous film and used them to fuel this film in a simpler fashion, though I was confused as to how Bane knew so much about Harvey Dent from one written speech by Commissioner Gordon, or why he was actually called Bane in the first place! One twist I liked was Miranda Tate being the child who escaped from the prison pit and Bane was the one who helped her and got his face mangled in the process, yet another character Cotillard has played who turned out to be evil (Inception reference.) This film is pure Christopher Nolan and he has done wonders with the Batman franchise, giving it a new look and format, as well as a couple of cheeky hints of the past (Gordon-Levitt's character is Robin!) It was pure blockbuster fun, with a great cast and smart script.
Now, who wins this battle of superhero movies? While both had their merits, I'd say The Dark Knight Rises just wins, simply for epicness! Do you agree or disagree?
