Matt's 2010 Outlook

I did it last year and things didnt work out so well.

Tho im hopeful next year is the year!

So what do i look forward to ?

1. A green light to a sequel to "The Hangover"

It was by far the best movie of the year, i was waiting for a bunch of adults to jump into the teen formula of problem after problem. it worked and Bradley Cooper is someone ive liked since Wedding Crashers.

2. Bradley Cooper in the A Team

Yeah its a remake, and chances are it will suck, cos 70% of remakes suck, but ill watch it anyway, i expect big things from this guy in 2010.

3. Tomorrow When The War Began

Yeah an OZ film, but im hopeful. Just dont stuff it up!

4. The World Cup

Australia play Serbia, Ghana, and Germany, i have no clue how it will turn out, but i just hope we do well. Id love to meet England in the next round, its a tough task.

5. The next Disney/pixar film

UP was fantastic and i can only assume the great films will continue. There writers are fantastic.

So ill leave it at 5 items for now. Let me know if anything should be added.

Whats my car stereo doing at the moment ? ....

This one I've had in my car for a while, in fact the whole album "Conditions" is fantastic. We get an artist over here that comes along every few years and you just know they will surpass expectations.

Oh but if you dont like coldplay/U2, then give it a miss.

Enjoy

My top OZ muso's for now ...

Ive looked at movies for the most part on here, so here is a list of the top musicians from down under. I picked 6, and tried to keep it modern.

1. Kate Miller - Heidke

Ive mentioned her before, former opera singer, georgous, and my fave song of the year.



2. Powderfinger

Literally the most under rated band world wide.



3. Eskimo Joe

I didn't really like these guys for some time, there older stuff is really rough. But over time things thinned out, and we have this gem.



4. Lisa Mitchell

An oz idol contestant, she didn't make it as far as many hoped, but she is a wizz on guitar and angelic in voice. I like her that much im posting 2 videos.





5. John Butler Trio

I just love the style of music. Tallent!




6. Ben Lee

Not to every ones taste, but he is talented, as seen by this clip of him covering MGMT

New Olympic sport : Landing a plane on water

Forget Sulley landing in New York, a Cleo bachelor of the year landed a plane on water saving 10 lives in Australia!

Seems everyone is into it, im betting it will probably become a sport and make the Olympics soon enough.

Longest water slide in a plane gets the gold ....

I also find it cool this pic is of him in front of a star trek poster, cos i could see him doing it in the US Enterprise too ....

Oz film update ...

Well according to IMDB you wouldnt know it, with only a 1% increase in popularity, the Oz film Tomorrow When The War Began is said to be a big topic here and overseas.

Im not so sure of that, but ill do my part to help and speak about it in the vain hope someone will type in "war tomorrow" and accidentally click on my page.

Based on the John Marsden books, this really is Red Dawn done the Australian way, about a bunch of teens fighting an international army.

I do have high hopes for this locally, overseas tho im not so sure. For overseas fans of Oz cinema, id go see the Boys are back, with Clive Owen in it. If you liked Shine, same director Scott Hicks helms this one about an English sports writer struggling with his two kids while on a scouting trip to Australia.

Celebrity Patty Flipper #2

In a very short list of people i wish were flipping patty's rather than being on TV or in Movies, i now add Matthew Mcconaughey <--- no idea if its spelt right!

Raise your hand if your career peaked with "A Time To Kill"

There should only be one hand up, and it should be Mr M's.

I will add however, that he had me back on board when he threw a TIVO into the air and saved Downey Jr's ass in tropic Thunder, BUT then he had to make Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past.

Enough said ....
