Since I have come home from Leeds, I haven't been doing much. I have mostly been watching comedy and I have started to write sonnets again. One of which I wrote for my Grandparents Golden wedding anniversary. I have also been jotting down title ideas that I am hoping to develop whether into animations or just short stories I'm not sure but I would like to start doing more writing. Also I have not been drawing much but I am intending when I have the time to go out with my sketchpad and to just sit and watch the world whilst also drawing. I believe that this will help me to be creative and to develop not only my drawing skills but also my creative ideas which I can also struggle with. All in all not much, so I am making sure that I do more rather than just lazing around as much as I have been doing.
I should also add that since coming home I have also been reading a lot more often and am currently working my way through the Alex Rider series of books by Anthony Horowitz.

Dark Knight Rises - Evaluation
So been and watched the Dark Knight Rises (DKR) today, it was an OK film. I have to say though that I thought The Avengers Assemble was a much better film that I have watched this year.
I thought that the pace was good which is more than I could say about Wrath of the Titans which despite being good still felt as if it was lacking something. The DKR I thought was perfectly paced, which for a film that lasts 2 1/2 hours is quite an achievement. There was good action sequences in it and from the areas where you could tell that CGI was used it was seamless, another achievement as you see time and time again films that use CGI, but not in a good way as you can tell and this spoils the effect that was being tried for. All in all thought I do have to say that the best film in the trilogy franchise was The Dark Knight.
As one final note despite the director of DKR saying that he won't do any more Batman films they have obviously set it up for there to be some Robin films made. Whether this will come to fruition or not I don't know, as studio executives always like to leave themselves space where they can make as much money from one project as possible.
