Zombieland

I hated the gore, it was silly gore, like Starship Troopers, but I hate it! I have to cover my eyes cause it makes me want to throw up and never eat again.

But, besides that, and the "longer than it should've been" scene in Bill Murray's mansion it was a hilarious movie! Bill Murray does make an appearance actually, not as a zombie, but yeah, anyway.

The humor is just awesome, its not gross, stupid, etc. Its witty and just leg slapping hilarious! You don't get good humor like this very much these days.

The characters are lovable, well, only two of them really. Columbus and Tallahassee are my favorite. Ha ha, their just so funny! The girls, eh, their your typical girls really, not very interesting at all.

I really enjoyed this movie, I think if you edit the gore out, it would be more awesome! Or, maybe the gore just adds to the funniness, eh.

I'd see it again, later, but I'd see it again. It was one worth watching more than once.

But, about the story: Its nice because they don't really care too much about the apocalypse or whatever, and its funny to see that the first Zombie Columbus comes across is this hot girl that he tries to help. And he's a total WOW nerd, which makes it more funny that he survived. He has these lists of rules that he follows and that is why he has stayed alive. He runs into Tallahassee, and they drive together, then they meet up with these girls who trick them out of their vehicles and guns (more than once) Anyway, they all end up together, helping each other, etc.
Its funny at Bill Murray's home he says he survives because he dresses and acts like a zombie. He goes in to trick Columbus and ends up getting shot, its so funny.

And Columbus is afraid of clowns (who isn't) And at the end, well, I won't say.

The story is simple, old, whatever, but it was just done right and I like movies that can make me laugh. Hooray for them!

How To Train Your Dragon

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Yeah, its about a people(Vikings) that are intolerant about the Dragons and through the "weird" kid they learn that the Dragons are not as bad as they thought. Mostly because the Dragons have to feed this huge Dragon, and if they don't they get eaten. So, the story itself isn't original and is based off a kids book, but I absolutely loved it!

I thought it was better than Avatar. I know I will be called a Heretic for that one, but seriously, Avatar was cool because, like Tolkien, James Cameron creates great worlds and encyclopedia's and such, but in all honesty is was kind of boring. And a lot of it didn't make sense and although it was pretty, it just wasn't entertaining.

So, back to the Dragon movie. I love Dragons, always have. And I have a soft spot for stories about creatures that are feared but not understood, and a child that is different comes along and changes everything.

Its funny how the Vikings had Scottish accents, I'm not sure Vikings had Scottish accents, but I guess it makes sense. The other thing is they kept praying to Odin or something. Did Vikings actually worship Odin? I have no idea.

The movie was funny, it kept you interested, entertained, and yet had a happy good message. I love how Hiccup had to work really hard to get Toothless to trust him, it took time to train him, etc. This creates a deeper relationship between both of them. Not even in Avatar where they were supposed to be "one with the planet", "connected to the animals" did you actually see any of the Navi or Jake? have a really close and deep relationship with any of the animals? No. All they did was stick their weird hair in the animals and there you go, supposedly they have a deep bond! Whala! That just isn't as sincere to me as actually having to work at a bond like that. And even if the Navi's brains were capable of having their brain cells work fast enough to melt their brains with the animals, Jake would've been like a toddler trying to walk when connecting with the animals. You don't just fuse brains with another creature and expect to be all one organism instantly.

Oh, and another thing. The characters in the Dragon movie are more lovable than those in Avatar, I could care less about anyone in the Avatar movie, but you get attached to Toothless and Hiccup, and even some of the bit characters have admiring traits.

Anyway, How To Train Your Dragon is definitely going in our collection, and I'll probably read the book too. I'd be more excited to show this movie off to my guests than Avatar.

Take your kids to see it, adults see it, its great for everyone!!

Finally!!

Yay, Chuck! I knew Shaw was a traitor, I knew it! I'm so glad that Chuck and Sara are finally together!! Aaaaaaahhhhh!!! Its so awesome!! I love that show!

Andrew the Droid

Andrew the Droid

Okay, I'm on the 7th level of this game. It is getting hard.

This game is a puzzler. You move the screen as it is to make your droid fall to get to certain items. You have to get the switch in order to use the portal. And the chips are helpful in being able to move the board around different directions. I'm not sure if the red diamond is really that important but eh.

It reminds me of those games you play with the ball that you have to get into a hole by moving the board its on. But, this is harder, because of the obsticles.

I hate the freakin' stones! They are making this hard to get around them! And you can't jump! We'll see if I'll finish this game.

So, if you like those kind of puzzle games, this one is for you!

By the way, if anyone has any games they want me to review let me know. I'm open to suggestions. I enjoy games!

Upgrade Builder

Upgrade Builder

So, my cousin Brandt wanted me to review this game.

http://www.kongregate.com/games/ArmorGames/upgrade-complete?src=adws-sg-upg&gclid=CO207dGp2qACFQxaiAode3w_Ag

At first I had no idea what it was all about.

Lol. Its funny.

Anyway, there are no graphics; really. You have shapes and you build a ship, and the more money you collect from blowing up "bad" ships makes it so you can upgrade all your guns and stuff. The "waves" start out simple and get harder. There are 20 waves.

By the end its not having to upgrade your stuff, although a little upgrade helps. But, you have to decide which weapons will help you the most and how many of those weapons, etc.

I actually enjoyed this game. Its the simple things in life that are the most fun!

Its a short game, I think. Oh, also. Ha ha, I figured out by the like 10th wave that if you just hold down the space bar, its better.

Controls are arrows, and space bar! yay!

Video Games

I've decided along with movies I'll review games.

SteamBirds

The first thing I noticed on this game is that I just went to the URL, clicked "Play" and that started the game! I didn't have to download anything, or hardly wait a second for it to start. That was pretty cool.

It is a really simple game-simple graphics, music, etc. But, you have to strategize a lot. Your airship has to survive, you have to shoot down the enemy. To do that you choose the path your ship goes, and if an enemy ship is in its path it will shoot, but you have to guess where the enemy ship will be by the end of the turn. All ships move at the same time.

You have just a few controls: arrow keys bring the focus back to your ship. You can move the line of sight forward, left, right, etc. You can have armor, but it takes one turn, and you can't shoot while you have it.

The more levels and medals you complete/get the harder it gets. It starts you out with one ship, then two, etc. But you have to fight more ships, and the way they place you on the map at the beginning will either make it easier or harder for you.

I usually don't like strategy games, but this was really fun! I didn't have to hear dialog, or read a story, I just played.

Overall, it was simple, but I loved that. It had me using my head, and learning from my mistakes. I really enjoyed it and would play it again.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

This, unlike the Disney's animated Alice movie is not for children. It has some jokes and other things that are just not for children.

I really enjoyed this movie! Very creative, very pretty, colorful, etc. It was not meant to be 3D, and it would have still looked as good, I think even when not in 3D. A lot of movies are going to 3D these days, and I just don't think it is necessary; it looks cool, but that is about it. A few people I heard complained about the graphics, how it is supposed to be as good as Avatar, but wasn't. I disagree. I think the graphics were just as good, if not better!

As always Tim Burton takes a classic story and turns it to something mind boggling! I love the characters, I love the story! The only problem I had was that the Jabberwocky didn't have enough film time! But, I'm so glad he was in it nonetheless!

It has a lot of things from the book, and its not the classic tale, a twist, but there are a lot of things that are the same. The Queen once again befriends her, only to be betrayed in the end. And the White Queen is new. I loved it! Just go watch it!
