Skyward Sword Review

This new epic entry into the series closely follows behind to the best Zelda game in the series, Ocarina of time, but the motion controls are a big let down when I was looking forward so much to swinging the remote link a sword. Its a pain in some aspects of the game but just power through because in the end, this is one great game and if you are any sort of Zelda fan, you owe it to yourself to play this game.

The twilight under a new moon before the eclipse that is breaking dawn

So I've read the novels twice, just about anyhow. I know there are alot of guys that won't bother because of the teen sesation that's infested the novels and films nowadays but I stand by my feelings of these novels. First of all, the vampire and werewolve mythology Stephanie Meyers created is quite original, no, I am not talking about sparkly teen idols. Yes Vampires can walk in the daylight, it gives them away for how different they are, but the sun doesn't hurt them. They are made of stone, literally. They break apart like concrete and only when all pieces are burned are they truly dead. The werewolves are basically a tribe of indians who've crossed paths with the vampires and an ancient magic provided them with a defense against these super beings, a shape shifting power. They don't change uncontrollably under full moons and silver doesn't hurt them no more than anyone else. I am fascinated with the wolve mythology in this series, its the best part in my opinion.

The films are not popular with the harcore fans of the novels. I guess twilight failed to capture the magic the novel did but I still think they did a good job. You take a romance novel, and lets face it, that is what twilight is at the core, and you can't expect alot of guys to show up at the theater for this. They balanced the love aspects with action sequences quite well. When it comes down to it though, the novels are always better and somethings don't make the cut into film.

I think the fans will enjoy the first half of breaking dawn. The first half of the novel has little action to keep you pulled in, but they once again mixed it up a bit with the film. The pacing was done well and kept a two hour film not seeming that long. The dream sequence before the wedding succeeds in chills up your spine. Despite this series not taking a darker path like Harry Potter began in Novel 4, they did well to lure you in and want to see where its going. Of course the story breaks in half right where I and all the fans thought it would. I won't give no spoilers but I think this was the best of the films yet. New Moon being the second best. Get passed all the teen hype and get into just another unique and well written Vampire story. It is quite compelling. Meyers left her story with so many possibilities for more sequels, so this may not be the last of the cullens we read or watch. If you were dissapointed with the previous films I do believe this one will change your mind.

A Pirates life for me, but the Pirates life should end

I've been anticipating this film for a while now. I am a Depp fan and Jack Sparrow is my favorite role he's played yet. Pirate mythology fascinates me and the films were just great fun to watch. On stranger tides fails to capture the magic I felt when the Curse of the black pearl came about. Even Depp doesn't seem to have his heart in this performance. Disney, as big of a company as it is, still felt it had to make cuts. The film did well anyhow and will most likely spawn two more sequels. When you butcher the cast and write mediocre plotlines to continue Jack Sparrows adventures you just lose what you had when you started sadly. This series does not need another sequel in my opinion, as much as I do not want to lose the pirates, they are on a downward spiral now with the fourth installment.

3 / 5 stars

A curious Tale of bad parenting

So Halloween has come and gone once again. Another holiday of parents worrying about their children from things like traffic and creepy people out and about to checking candy for razor blades. Sadly in our world, not all parents care that much. Some are just idiots, and then here are some that make me believe there should be a procreation act forcing some people to undergo the procedures ensuring they cannot have children.

Now the kids look cracks me up, but seriously? What was this idiot thinking

Apparently all the ted bundy costumes were taken this year

The parents of this child obviously have high expectations of their child

Nothing like teaching your daughter to be a whore early on


















And again I have no idea what these guy was going for. I hope his kid is terrified of horror films later on, serves him right

Nice example setting

If this ladies kid was shot, serves him right. I can't believe how stupid some people can be

Another example of a mother having high expectations of her daughter's future

I am speechless on this one. Where did the idea come from, and who thought it was a good one in the first place?

Fail of the week 11-1-2011

Well this week was my favorite holiday, Halloween! So I decided to post a hallween fail and found one that is funny and can be helpful. Remember that masks sometimes impair vision, and here is a great example.

Final Fantasy VII to the core

I decided to break down the game that alot of people say is the best Final Fantasy. I obviously disagree strongly and there are several things in this game that annoy me. Here I will break it down to what works for me and what I didn't care for.
