Sushi Girl

Imagine you are a beautiful girl working in a sushi restaurant. Imagine you are laying on a table covered with sushi while gangsters around you are beating a man to death in slow intervals looking for the diamonds they lost in a heist. Now imagine you can't say a word. You would have the movie sushi girl. It is a great movie but NOT for the faint of heart. If you don't like violence or blood this is not the movie for you. I however loved it because I'm a gangster movie fan! Mark Hamill did a great job producing this movie however his acting was less than stellar but boy can that guy do evil genius! Out of 5 stars I give it a 3 because of the sweet twist at the end.

Hellboy

This movie is flippin amazing. All of the creature creations are just incredible. I particularly liked the wind up man Karl Ruprecht Kroenen is excellently done and adds just the right amount of creepy to the already awesome and brooding Hellboy played by Ron Pearlman. (I love everything Pearlman does) Much of the movie is AH HA moments for some of those old wives tales that in the movie are VERY true. I liked the fact that the movie showed Hellboy had a soul by his endless supply of the pet cats he adores to the rooftop scene where he spies on Liz and John Myers with a little boy who shares his cookies with him. This movie in my book gets 5+++ star rating and is one of my all time favorites.

Iron Man 3

Being a huge comic fan I really enjoyed the movie Iron Man 3. We went to see it in 3D with my daughter and 2 sons and her friend. It was so full of funny moments from the king of snark Tony Stark. (Yes I know it rhymes). The effects were awesome and they took you on a thrill ride every moment of the movie. The dialogue and love story in the movie were exceptionally played by Downey and Paltrow. The evil fiend Killian and his counterpart The Mandarin are so well played by screen legend Ben Kingsley and new kid on the block Guy Pierce. The twists and turns of Iron Man 3 kept me on the edge of my seat. The variance from the original Marvel comic is refreshing and gives the story accessibility for all ages. The ending however with my knowledge of the second Avengers movie in 2015 left me cold however but still curious if Stark will be returning and appearing in that movie as well. All in all I give it 4 stars!

Review Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

The final installment of the Twilight Saga is here. It was with excitement and sadness I went to see it knowing that, "it's over" but still HOW COOL! The story picks up where the last left off with an awesome and beautiful segue from one to the other. I will say for the movie that I wish it had followed more with the book. I would liked to have seen jasper following Bella around and his powers being explained more. But I'm very Jaspercentric. I loved when Bella "took care of business" with Jacob for imprinting on Renesmee. I loved the arm wrestling scene but I really missed the part where Nessie laughs. That would have been so cool. In all honesty I would have liked to have seen more of the book in the movie but the ending scenes rock and rock hard! 5 stars!

Silent Hill Revelation

In true horror fashion Silent Hill Revelation pulls you in and takes you on an  exciting creeptastic journey. I loved the creature creations and the performances of the main characters. The story itself could be predictable at times but that didn't take away from the whole effect of the movie! I especially liked the effects in the movie they were amazingly well done. My favorite part was the carousel scene. Totally awesome. Usually sequels suck but this story took on a life of it's own. As long as they use the amazing storytelling and scriptwriting I would see every single one! I give it 4 stars!

Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan

I have a new addiction, I must tell you it's an awesome show called Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan. In this BBC program he visits all the corners of the globe in search of a certain creature but he always ends up finding fantastic and interesting animals along the way. The reason I love this show so much is that you can see Dom's deep respect and love for the animal kingdom in the way he talks about the animals and the way he handles them. He is so well versed on all the animals he encounters and the way he speaks never seems scripted. More than that he's well versed on the countries he visits and has a working knowledge of everything he airs. He's a very intelligent man who has made an awesome awesome show. It's been a long time since I've seen a show about animals that I liked but this is one I would recommend to any age group. It's such an entertaining and enriching show that I hope is aired for years and years to come. I wish I could give infinity stars to this show.....wait it's MY blog I can! Kudos Dom, I love this show absolutely completely fully and would watch it over and over again!
