UK invasion!

As we all know,the London Olympics 2012 aired recently few days ago was a sensational blast.
So here I'm revealing my personal favourite moments/highlights during the ceremony:

Rowan Atkinson aka "Mr Bean" playing in an orchestra (VIDEO)

  Voldemort and JK Rowling appearance! (source)



Last but not least, James Bond parachuting with Queen Elizabeth. I am actually more interested at this "not amused/bored queen at the Olympics" meme. (source)

  
UK TAKING OVER! 
Besides Olympics, there are so much things out there of  UK people/culture representing in a variety of entertainment zones lately this year,2012.

British SUPERHERO & SUPERVILLAINS 

Andrew Garfield who plays Spiderman/Peter Parker, is not exactly fully a British man. Hes got a British mom, an American dad, and was born in Los Angeles. But then again,that half-British blood made him looked stunning in The Amazing Spiderman, so why not! He also plays in the hit film The Social Network and Never Let Me Go in 2010.
Tom Hiddleston plays Loki in the mega hit movie The Avengers. But even with his villainous acting skills,  he scored more fans than ever. And of course, a real sweet and nice person in real life.
Tom Hardy plays Bane in Dark Knight Rises, and although his mouth were covered and voices are pretty much filtered by a mask,  there's so much to love for him with both his sexy lips and accent in movies like Inception,and This Means War. 


British MUSICIANS

Many MANY musicians and artists came from the UK, but let's all refer to what's sizzling this year from the UK. First of all, talented Adele who just won a series of awards. Her "Rolling Deep" song got her rolled right in to the mainstream musics. I mean, why not, when top charted songs like "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Someone Like You" gets stuck in your head for quite a long time. 
Secondly, season's newest boy band One Direction from the UK stormed into worldwide charts in just a short time notice.Each members are finalists of The X-Factor music competition show. Their music "What Makes You Beautiful" and "One Thing" instantly turned them superstars, and got many fans especially female ones, swooning for them. 
We've also got Jessie J, an English singer and songwriter. Jessie used to write songs and record labels since 2006, but her recent "Price Tag" got her name flying high to the music charts. One of her latest songs "Domino" and "Laserlights" featuring David Guetta.
The Wanted is also another British-Irish boy band that recently got one of their songs "Glad you Came" raised to top music charts. Their other song "Chasing the Sun" was used as soundtrack in the new 2012 movie Ice Age 4.

British YOUTUBERS
They've started youtubing since the very beginning but thought I would show you few of my favourite brit youtubers as this year i am also more aware and watching youtube videos. 




British YOUTUBER (musician)
If you're updated watching MTV this month, noticed, there's a new singer in town. His name is Conor Maynard, with his hit pop songs "Can't Say No" and "Vegas Girl". Little did most people know, he came from the youtubes as well, also a Brit. 




British setting video games - Assassin's Creed III


Not exactly British. Assassin's Creed 3 takes place in the American Revolution, and everything's more for America. But  what's more exciting and fun than setting yourself in to a world historical event involving British and Union Jack flags hanging throughout the towns in this game?
Assassin Creed 3 will be release on 30th October 2012 for PS3, XBOX, PC and WII U.
