Last night a few lucky staff from London experiential marketing agency The Factory Live were treated to the UK cast and crew screening of the new Matt Damon film ‘Green Zone’.
If you are looking for another ‘Bourne’ movie, then this is not for you, however, if you are looking for a nonstop gripping action movie that see’s director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon back to their ultimate best, then this is definitely for you!
The film is based on the actual events of the Iraq war, Damon plays Roy, ‘Chief’ Miller who heads up a team of US troops who were sent in to unveil the so called WMD (weapons of mass destruction).
A major government conspiracy is unveiled throughout, which plays out as an incredible nonstop electrifying film.
From start to finish, Greengrass manages to create an incredible atmospheric film which keeps you on the edge of your seat until the credits roll.

Damon portrays Miller in a very convincing way which leaves us asking, are there any rolls this man cannot play ??
Speaking to one of the crew after the film, we were told that the real Roy Miller was on set throughout the filming of the film, and was very impressed with what he saw.

‘Green Zone’ is the latest blockbuster to be released by UK film giants Working Title, who yet again have managed to deliver us an outstanding piece of cinematic history.
We wait with baited breath for their next big release ‘Nanny Mcfee The Big Bang’, which luckily is only at Easter, so not long indeed.
Until then though, The Factory Live give ‘Green Zone’ a massive 13 out of 10 and is our current film of the year. Our only disappointment, is that it didn’t receive any deserved credit at this week’s Oscars ……

The factory live has discovered that the Soap Opera will be going, well, opera?
Coronation Street Abridged Live! will take the audience through more than 7,000 episodes and 2,000 storylines including 115 deaths, 37 births and 86 marriages.
The cast will include none of the series past or present actors but promises just as much drama as the popular soap!
We have seen many ambiguous titles hit the theatre from the hilarious Sister Act to the obscure Jerry Springer, both of which have enjoyed great successes! So, will Coronation Street Make a great musical?
Well, probably yes but frankly I’ll be waiting for Eastenders the Musical!

Palaeontologists have discovered a new dinosaur this week; The Factory Live has learned it is a very unique one indeed. Not only were scientists shocked to find four fully intact skulls buried in Eastern Utah, through further study they can see that the beasts did not even chew their food! They had very long necks and like the Brachiosaurus they fed on vegetation. They would rip there food off the tree and swallow it whole. Thank goodness they were vegetarian!

This week saw the launch of the new Tim Burton film Alice In wonderland. With fans queuing from six in the morning to catch a glimpse of the illusive Johnny Depp, but will this film live up to its expectations or will it be just another weird and unpleasant twist on a classic tale? After the debatable success of Charlie and the Chocolate factory where Mr Depp took strange to a whole new level, it is quite scary to think just how far his character will go! With a cast ranging from the slightly twee Anne Hathaway to the outrageous Matt Lucas this film really is a mixed bag!! But will it live up to expectations, well, probably not, but we at The Factory Live love a good Johnny Depp movie….who doesn’t?

This week sees the coming of Shrove Tuesday which honours a time old tradition of pancake making. Originally it was to use up whatever was left in your cupboard now we have readymade batter mixes, fake lemons and pre-prepared syrups. Field Marketing Agency London The Factory Live has come across some very bizarre pancakes indeed from all over the world. In Japan there is a dish called Dorayaki which is a sweet pancake filled with bean paste and in Korea a dish called Pajeon and Bindaetteok is made with sea food,

 chilli paste, and lots of veggies in the form of a pancake.

In Britain we like to try some strange toppings such as apple sauce and boozy fruit concoctions but in Ethiopia they eat pancakes with virtually anything in them!

This pancake is served with meat and vegetables! So why not push the boat out on Pancake Day and really go crazy with the mix!

The nation’s favourite pastry went head to head with our favourite Geordy this week The Factory Live has learned. A facebook campaign set up by internet pranksters has challenged the public to getting more fans on their sausage roll page than on the official Cheryl Cole fan page? Why? Well we are not entirely sure, however, this site has triggered another “Can this egg get more fans than Katie Price? Although the egg has a lot better odds, both sites have over a million fans! Has the public gone crazy or are we just fed up with hearing about the same people in the papers?
Personally a sausage roll sounds rather nice right now!!

 

 

 

Oscars

With the Oscars and A list celebrities taking centre stage this month London field marketing agency The Factory Live says to all you field marketing staff, why not enjoy some glamour in your own home with some ideas on hosting your own Oscar Party.
1. OUTFITS: Arguably the most important part of any party is the outfit whether it fancy dress or a LBD affair, clothing will define the event. Look at the nominations….AVATAR, a fantasy theme is glamorous and easy to prepare. A colour theme works well and a blue dress code will suit all ages and sexes.
2. FOOD: Inglorious Bastards, a German food theme is a good for a finger buffet or why not try a full feast for The Young Victoria.  Check out this website for fantastic German foods: http://www.worldfamousrecipes.com/german-recipes.html
3. DECORATIONS: Ballloooooonsss and lots of them, Up, is a hugely entertaining family film and deserves an award, why not celebrate this filling a room full of multicoloured balloons!!!
4. BEVERAGES: It wouldn’t be a party without a few cocktails, and with such an epic list of celebrities you can create hundreds of drinks. Keeping to a simple a recipe such as a Manhattan and naming it after a celeb works a treat.
5. RED CARPET: It’s all about the guests, don’t worry if you don’t know any real celebs, your mates make the best A-Listers, although a good lookalike will really cause a stir!
6. AWARDS: Most of your friends will have some special quality or talent – so be imaginative and create personal awards for all your invitees! I can guarantee a fun and memorable evening.

come-dine-with-me

 

Experiential marketing agency London The Factory Live has been doing some investigating this week, after the week has shown us a lot of scandal from war crimes to dirty affairs. But one faker has managed to hide behind all this, the well liked “Come Dine with Me” on channel 4 is facing accusations of faking it! The celebrity specials have mislead the viewer into believing that we are indeed dining in the celebrities own home, when in fact we are not. Many of the homes are rentals specially chosen for the purpose of dining. Celebrities including Christopher Biggins and Sherrie Hewson appeared in properties which were hired out especially for the show, however, viewers were led to believe that they were their own homes. This comes after BBC is accused of faking a Top Gear stunt. But the real question is…does it matter? Personally I enjoy the program and there is nothing better than spending a Sunday afternoon with a “Come dine with me” marathon, and if we are honest it’s most definitely the commentary that makes the program!

This week saw the unveiling the latest gizmo from Apple, The IPad ….. and London Field Marketing agency The Factory Live has been looking into it…..

At first we were’nt sure how we felt about this, another peice of equipment to carry around with us, especially one that won’t fit into your pocket. We all have an Ipod and even an Iphone, so do we really need another I ??

Well let me answer that for you … yes, yes yes !!
With the planet spending time and millions of pounds on how to deal with global warming, how to save our trees and forests, Apple have taken a giant leap to help us out.

Every day/weekend either myself or someone in my family buys a daily newspaper, to keep up to date with the goings on in the world, and when we had a pet, it usually ended up at the bottom of a litter tray to help absorb, well you get the picture. Or it would be thrown out, over the years reycling has been invented to help try and save papers from just being used once, but in the end, the trees are still being cut down.

Imagine having your daily newspaper available at the touch of a button, eveyday !! No more paper lying around the house all week …. But not only tabloids, Apple have introduced an online book store at the touch of a button !! Allowing you to instantly touch, purchase and read the up to date publications that you have on your list…

Instead of carrying papers, books, magazines on those long train journeys, the Ipad replaces all of those in one beautiful peice of kit. It also uses all the apps that you may have on you Iphone/pod so no need to buy them again.
It allows simple and easy use of emails, and it also has a very special diary which will be perfect for all field marketing staff on the go, to keep them up to date with all the appointments that thay have, ensuring that they never miss a job.

Don’t just take our word for it, go to http://www.apple.com/ipad/  and have a look for yourself ….

A paper free house, no more old books clutering up my house, bravo from me, bravo indeed ……..
