Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted review




So our favourite group of four animals are back for their third adventure, still attempting to get back to their beloved Central Park Zoo home in New York. However they have a problem. The penguins have run off to Monte Carlo with the plane they have built - the only way that Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria would be able to leave Africa and return home!

So Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria then embark on a journey to Monte Carlo, to chase after the penguins and get a ride hone on their plane. While in Monte Carlo they run into a few difficulties while finding the penguins but they finally find a solution to their goal of getting home to New York, or so they think.....

I would give Madagascar 3/5 and worth seeing for any lover of Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria and also any fan of animated comedy.

Let me know your views in the comments below.

I have been strudders and I hope you have found this review useful and I hope to update you on more media news and reviews soon.

MUSE: The 2nd Law review


So on October 1st MUSE’s 6th studio album The 2nd Law came out and as a big MUSE fan I was very excited to hear what they had to offer. During the summer they released 3 singles from The 2nd Law – Madness, The 2nd Law: Unsustainable and the official London 2012 song Survival.

Now these three songs are all very different from each other which made me and a lot of other people question what genre the album would be and to be honest it’s a mix of genres.

Songs like Madness, The 2nd Law Unsustainable and Follow Me are dubstep and others are rock which I think is good as it shows that MUSE are changing but are still appealing to many audiences and personally I like this change and hope they carry on with it and carry on with the mix of genres.

As they did in their 5th studio album The Resistance with the Exogenesis Symphonies, MUSE have put two mainly instrumental songs at the end of The 2nd law with The 2nd Law: Unsustainable and The 2nd Law: Isolated System. These two songs are quite different from each other as Unsustainable is dubstep and Isolated System is electronic. These songs also give us why the album is called The 2nd Law – it is to do with the 2nd law of thermodynamics which can be heard being described by the the voiceover in Unsustainable and Isolated System. Also the object on the album cover is a scan of bran activity and is very colourful and similar to the cover of their 5th studio album The Resistance.

Again MUSE have bought out an album which has redefined themselves again and and they now encompass many genres and as a massive MUSE fan I like this new direction that they are going in.
