Reviews are back!

Quick update just to say that reviews will begin posting again on Monday the 14th of October. Movie TBD.

Top 11s and review schedule update.

Reviews haven’t been posted in the last number of weeks purely due to the fact that I don’t have the time to devote to writing them at this current time. I will be implementing a less frequent schedule from January onwards; this will probably consist of about 1 full review and 1 mini-review per month.

In the meantime though is my updated list of my top 11 favourite Directors/TV Shows/Games/Actors/Movies.

Lastly I should mention that I will be putting up my list of the best and worst movies of 2012 on or around the 1^st of January 2013. Thanks for reading.

Next Review

I'm well aware that it's been about a week and a half almost since the last review, this is because of exams and stuff. But tomorrow will be different, tomorrow I'll actually sit down and write one and post it the same day. As a plus it'll be a new movie, like brand new, Snow White and the Huntsman new.

Review Schedule

I've decided upon the review schedule for every week starting July 2nd.

Monday - TV Review (New or classic)

Wednesday - Movie Review (New)

Friday (Every other week) - Game Review (New)

Saturday - (3/4 weeks) Mini Review of TV/Movie/Game

Saturday - (1/4 weeks) Movie Review (Classic)

Oh and just for reference:

New Movie = In Cinemas

New Game = Released within the past 4 months

Classic Movie/Tv/Game = Classic in the sense that it is not brand new. 

As always suggestions for reviews are welcome and I'll be sure to get around to them when I can.

Future reviews

I'm going to try and have more movie reviews in the future be of the latest cinema releases so as to give whomever reads it some advice on what to see. Also starting from July 1st I'll be releasing reviews on a schedule which I'll post soon enough, this means more often and more varied which is not a bad thing at all. Thanks.

The Dark Knight Rises new trailer

The soon to be movie of the year:

Coming Soon

I've received a few suggestions for reviews and I plan to start working on them shortly, hover I will be slightly curtailed due to those pesky exams on the horizon but I do hope to have at least one review (Movie/Tv/Game) per week.

Next review will be 'Tower Heist' starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy.

Coming Soon: Citizen Kane, Trainspotting, The Descendants, Game of Thrones (Episode 5 or 6) and I am Alive.

See that great banner up there?

That was made by my friend Stefan so thanks to him and his photoshop skills. New review soon.

Review Suggestions

If anybody has any suggestions for things they want reviewed please let me know either by contacting me on:

Facebook - Luke Duffy on Facebook.com

Twitter - @El_Duffy

Email - ld.xiii@yahoo.co.uk

Or just comment here. If your suggestion is something I've seen already then once I choose to do it the review should be up quick, but if I haven't watcher or played it yet it'll take a little longer.

Thanks.

First Post

As the inaugural post of Media Pancake I should probably lay out what exactly this blog will be about. First off there won't be any crap about my day or how I had a particularly tasty omelette, that stuff's for Facebook. I'm going to attempt to keep this blog focused on my thoughts about a few topics: Movies, TV and Gaming, the holy trinity. This will consist mainly of reviews, opinions and the occasional news item. Finally I feel that I should point out that any views expressed here are not fact (no matter what I may state) so don't take it too hard if I say that the Twilight series is liked exclusively by the mentally unhinged necrophiliacs of the world, which it is. Fact.
