The Quite Nerdy Blog

After looking at the best, and worst endings we've seen, it's time for the twistiest. Unlike the previous two lists, this is entirely about the twist and how it affects the film as a whole. As complete disclosure, I haven't seen all of the films on the list but the ones I haven't have such iconic twists that they've surpassed their films. MAJOR spoilers are present. But I bet you'll never guess what's going to be number one. Actually, you probably will. 7. Donnie Darko Donnie Darko is more on here for it's series of twists than for one particular twist, as are a few other films later on in the list. This film is a psychological roller coaster and after this whole thing with Donnie being told by a giant rabbit that the world will end in 28 days and almost being crushed by a jet engine, we eagerly await the ending to all this and it's a great payoff. We learn that Frank is based off a guy's halloween costume, that Donnie's mum and sister

WARNING:  This is a joke review. Those of you looking for a serious review of Cooking Mama 3... Well, that's just weird. Why do you want a serious review of this? Anywhere, maybe just look elsewhere for it. You wake up in a dark room. Where are you? Have we been here before? It smells familiar. Smells like sadness and maybe leg of lamb on a bed of rice with a saffron garnish. Surely we've been here before. There's a familiar sense of loss looming here. All of a sudden, you notice a door. Was that there before? Surely not. Regardless you walk towards it. Before you open the door, you hear a sound of scraping and the smell of something cooking (it's probably just lamb or something, maybe veal). The door opens and Mama stares you in the face, while skinning your best friend alive. She screams into your face "COOKING MAMA 3!!!" Welcome back to hell. We've missed you. What is Cooking Mama 3 then? It's a brand new slice of hell, served up in just the

Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday dear me, Happy Birthday to me (and Jennifer Lawrence, Ben Affleck, director of Birdman Alejandro Gonzalez Innaitu and Dexter's Angel Bautista, David Zayas). Yes, for those of you who don't know, I'm finally 16. To celebrate, I'm having a very self indulgent post today with me, discussing my favourite films as of August 2015. I'll almost certainly revisit this list some time in the future but for now, these are the seven films I love more than any other. And as a warning, don't expect a deep analysis or criticism of these films. This is me delivering my appreciation of these films and nothing else. And as this is a list very close to my heart, I'm opening up a selection of seven honorable mentions, in no particular order. They are: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Monty Python and The Holy Grail Gone Girl The Dark Knight The Lego Movie 22 Jump Street The Raid 2

We've seen the best, now let's see the rest. After looking at so many great endings, we have to acknowledge those that just didn't work out. Some of these films are actually great but their endings simply don't do them justice. And as before major spoilers are ahead, but in this case, maybe that's not such a bad thing. 7. (500) Days of Summer It saddens me to put this film on the list because I genuinely love it and the ending is pretty good until the very end. But we can't ignore the very end of the film because that's the final impression we're left with and it eats away at the film. The film ends with Joseph Gordon-Levitt dumping Zooey Deschanel which I'm totally fine with but it's literally the last ten seconds that sucks. JGL goes to a job interview and sees a new girl who he falls for. He asks her name. The reply? "Autumn". Facepalm. It's so cheesy it makes every bit of you want to shrivel up and it tarnishes an otherwi

I've made some big sacrifices in my time writing for this blog. I watched Birdemic sober and alone. I paid to go see American Sniper. But this tops it all. For in an attempt to catch up on some of last year's blockbusters, I watched Transformers: Age of Extinction. I hope you enjoy this review because I didn't enjoy watching this film. So what is this walking pile of arse waste? Well, Trans4mers (because that's what they should have called it) follows on from the last three films but with a new group of humans. We follow Mark "Marky Mark" Whalberg and his daughter as they accidentally uncover Optimus Prime. This sends them and Whalberg's daughter's boyfriend on an adventure across the globe in which... Conspiracies happen? I don't know. The plot gets pretty confusing after the first half hour and if your film if 2 hours and 45 minutes long, that's bad news. The plot can best be summarised as a series of money shots, be they of explosions,

Today is the one year anniversary of me starting my blog. I feel like I've come a long way from moaning about Dexter to moaning about Transformers. It takes a lot of guts to moan about something everyone else hates and by gum, I've got those guts now. And while I've been keeping the blog going largely for myself as a pet project and something to do with my time other than video games, it's also still going because of your support. You, the audience. As thanks, I wanted to share some interesting bits of data that usually only I get to see. But today, I'll share them with you. Over the past year, I've published 64 posts (not including this one) over eight different categories and I never missed a single week, I'm proud to say. The most popular post I've written is Top 7- Musical Moments in TV with 51 views. The best month for views was April of this year with 444 views over the month.
