Aliens vs. Predator Requiem

January 20, 2008 By: Govvy Category: Films No Comments →

There isn’t much to say about this movie. It started right off where the last movie finished and from then on it was storyless.

All there was, was a town infested by Aliens and only one Predator turned up to fight them. The people of the town got slaughtered by the Aliens just like most horror films. There wasn’t much new but there were some pretty nasty scenes. I was surprised I could eat my dinner after watching that film.

There was this little bit at the end which suggests a sequal could be on the cards.

Well, if you love blood, guts and gore this movie is for you. But if you’re like me this movie isn’t enough. A better storyline would of been nicer. So what you end up with is a slaughter bath movie with good effects. Pleasant dreams all.

Eilat and Petra

January 04, 2008 By: Govvy Category: Israel - Kibbutz 1 Comment →

This past week I went to Eilat and on Wednesday I went to Petra in Jordan. I had great fun, partying, drinking, talking to people. I arrived in Eilat descended to the hotel which was the King Solomon, all was fine, checked into the room. Well after a little while a load of young kids were charging up and down the corridor outside. What a noise!! I was willing to put up with it and slept in the room that night. But my brother Leigh arrived at 2am and the next day decided to upgrade the room. This time we were on the 10th floor at the end and had a lovely balcony with an amazing view.

Petra

I had to goto Petra for the day, just seeing it in Indiana Jones isn’t good enough for me. Getting through the customs was okay’ish even know I had to wait almost around two hours! The trip down on the coach was interesting, seeing all the natural formations of the land, the villages, some of the buildings were fairly modern looking. At Petra there is nothing third world about the place. No oldy feeling in the new town, seemed fairly nice.

The walk down was nice through the ancient canyon carved by nature an impressive sight in it’s own right. Very few tombs on the way down, then at some point after much walking it opens up and you see the Tomb from Indian Jones. This is a place you have to see for yourself. You don’t realise how impressive it is until you see it a truly impressive piece of architecture. This place was carved from the top down, how impressive a people to perform such a feet with the abilities of the time.

>> AlbumThere was only one quirk on the way back into Israel and that was the Israeli border control. I left for a days trip! Just a day, why are they so interested in me! What is the point on asking 50 questions they wont remember!! Asking me questions I can’t even answer!! :/ They should be ashamed of themselves if you ask me.
