Twilight

I hate to give this movie a bad review, because the books were really well written, and had alot of interesting twists of the vampire/ werewolf mythos. Unfortunately, I can't give it a good review. I'll have to give it a 50/50 liked and disliked. I really disliked all the googly eyes instead of using the dialogue between Edward and Bella the author wrote in the book. I could nit pick this movie to death but ,oh well. I can say each of the sequels were closer to the original books and were a vast improvement over this one. I did like the actors & actresses chosen to portray the characters especially, Alice. Alice was exactly as I envisioned her, and she was portrayed absolutely charmingly. The actresses name is Ashley Greene. The movie's not all bad or all good but it's worth it to watch to get to the sequels or if you want to see the books brought to life.

Avatar: The Last Air Bender Movie

I read alot of reviews about this movie weeks before I watched it.The reviews said it was really bad and completely deviated from the Avatar anime series. I was prepared to be disappointed. These reviewers are on crack. This movie did not deviate that much from Book 1 of the Avatar anime series. The first Harry Potter movie deviated more from the book. Or even Eragon. The movie was not that bad. I mean really if you read the reviews, you're thinking Attack of the Killer Tomatoes bad. Yes, the acting was not that great. The special effects weren't either. It was more of a ho-hum than bad.

What I did like was the spiritual sense of the bending powers. It was kinda like the martial arts style Wushu.

The kids in this film did good job representing that, which is the core to the Avatar series. I like to see anime or comics translated into film for these very reasons. The characters in this film look exactly like their anime counterparts which I thought was cool as well.

I hope they make book 2 into a movie. I will watch that one as well and not read the reviews on it :)

FullMetal Alchemist - 51 Episodes

I haven't posted in a few days because I was watching all 51 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist available on Netflix. What I like about Netflix is that is saves the place I'm watching something at when I turn it off and it keeps the episodes in order so I don't have to search for them. I watched all the episodes just to see what happens to Edward and if Al ever gets his body back. I liked the whole alchemist concept and the storyline.

Fullmetal is cool anime series. I think the ratings vary between Tv-14 -NR for violence.

Each episode is about 20-25 minutes long. Funimation Productions



Batman: Under The Red Hood

I saw this last night. I was a little disappointed with the storyline, as in within a few minutes of watching it, I knew what was going to happen. I really enjoyed the Dark Knight anime series. The acting voices and animation were great. Everything had the "Batman" feel to it. It was nice to see my favorite villains The Joker, who was absolutely hilarious ( no problem with writing his lines) and Ra's al Ghul.

I really cannot express how much I like Bruce Greenwood as Batman, Neil Patrick Harris as Nightwing, and John Di Maggio as the Joker.

They have great voices, making the characters really come alive.

Rated PG-13. Running Time 75 minutes.

Superman Doomsday

This was pretty cool for an anime. It was based of the comic The Death of Superman. Superman Doomsday had a good storyline and excellent voice actors. I liked this anime much more than the last film of about Superman, Superman Returns.

Made in 2007. Voices of Adam Baldwin, Anne Heche, James Masters.
Rated PG-13. Running Time 75 minutes.

Netflix

I decided to try Netflix Unlimited with the 30 day free trial and 1 DVD out at a time. It was easy to sign up and I can pay with my Paypal account. So I ordered a dvd, it'll be here tomorrow. I watched Superman Doomsday instantly. No lag or any problems. Pretty cool so far.



Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four was a good film to watch. It had a storyline, great special effects, action, and character interaction. It also spun off a sequel: Rise of the Silver Surfer. This is another comic book turned movie from the Marvel Universe and 20th Century Fox. If you like any of the following movies you'll like this one: Spiderman, Ironman, or Daredevil. The movie interpretation of character, The Thing, is awesome.

Made in 2005, Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd, Chis Evans, Michael Chiklis
