movie review
Well I watched "Fantastic Mr.Fox" last night and, it was good. I've been looking forward to seeing it because I love animated movies, plus this movie has a great cast. The movie stars George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartman. The stop motion animation is excellent. I couldn't believe how well done the animation was. The movie is pretty funny, you do laugh out loud at a few scenes. The voice acting is excellent, my man Bill Murray steals every scene he's in. I did,t know what to expect from the movie because i never read the book. I have never read any of Roald Dahl's books. I was surprised at how good the movie really was. Most kids movies now a days just suck and a lot of them end up having good actors and actresses in them but sometimes even the best actor or actress can,t save a crappy movie. I was happy at how good the movie was and how much i enjoyed it. This is not just a kids movie, a lot of adults will also enjoy this movie. I hope adults don't pass on seeing "Fantastic Mr.Fox" because they think it's just a kids movie, this is the kind of movie that's for everyone. I would say it's almost more for adults because there's so much more that adults will get that will go over kids heads. This is still a kids movie and there's lots for the kids to enjoy. give this movie a chance. I give it 3 stars.
tv news
well i just read that 24 is done. this will be the last season of the show. I,ll write up what i think later on, right now i,ll too shocked and pissed off.
spensers wild west story
I just finished reading robert parkers potshot. This is the 28th spenser book. It is one of my fave spenser books. It is pretty much a western story for today. This woman hires spenser to find out who killed her husband and theres a gang called the dell that makes the business owners pay them and the dell take whatever they want from the town. spenser takes on some members of the dell and then the mayor of the town hires spenser to get rid of the dell. The book is one of my faves because it is a western story. It,s like the magnificent seven as written by robert parker. The story is good, the dialogue is good. It,s funny and exciting, action packed. The only bad thing about it is theres so much build up to the ending and all the action happens too fast. the ending needed to be longer and there sould have been more action at the end.It,s still one of the better books that has came out in the last 10 years. even though it is book number 28 the series was still going strong and the next 2 books are good then the series started going down hill. Anyone that likes westerns or is a robert parker fan sould read potshot. I give the book 3 stars.

random thoughts
Every once in a while i may just write about random stuff that was on my mind that day. For anyone who read about the new nes game i wrote about this afternoon, it got me thinking about andrew. I thought about how much fun we had playing games on the first nintendo. games like super mario bros,zelda,punch out, spy hunter, any sport games, fighting games. Andrew was always better at video games then me, he would always be the first to beat any game. he would show me like how to beat super mario bros 2. There were a few games where i could kick his butt at. I sometimes kicked his ass at games like track and field, some basketball game and even a hockey game. I been thinking that mybe i get a old nintendo from ebay and i know andrew would think i,m crazy since i have a nintendo wii. I bet if i did get one and got that new game for it i know he play it with me and he want me to get all the games we used to have and he get hooked on all the old games. I know he would have looked at ebay and asked me to get him all his fave nes games. It would have been fun to play a new nes game with andrew.
video game news
well for all you old school gamers out there, here is some cool news. There is a brand new game for the original nintendo called battle kid. It looks just like the old nes games. you can find the game on ebay. I just looked at amazon and you can,t get it on amazon. Now i wish we still had our old nintendo.

movie release dates
this spring we will get the remake of a nightmare on elm st. Anyone who knows me knows that the original nightmare on elm st is one of my all time fave scary movies. I,m sure everyone will be shocked when i say that i have zero interest in seeing the remake. The remake comes out april 30 then iron man 2 comes out may 7. So the elm st remake gets almost a week to itself before the first summer blockbuster comes out and crushs it to death. Iron man 2 will make a ton of money and everyone and there mother will go see iron man 2. People will forget that the elm st movie is even out because it will be all about iron man. For anyone who remembers grindhouse came out in april 2007 and it bombed. It made next to no money, i think it made only 3 million and it cost like 60 million to make. it,s never a good idea to put out a horror movie in the spring and to put out a horror movie so close to a big comic book movie is just dumb. No one will see that horror movie but everyone will see the comic book movie. It would be smarter to put out any horror after all the big summer movies have came out. I feel bad for the makers of the elm st remake, it will make all it,s money opening weekend then it will bomb big time because of iron man 2.

book review
I just finished reading for the first time alices adventures in wonderland and through the looking glass. I loved both of them. They are just such fun storys to read. For most movie versions of alice always put bits of looking glass into the movie. It was interesting to see what scenes came from each story. I still like wonderland more then the sequel looking glass. I did like that the mad hatter shows up in looking glass but his name is changed to hatta. Wonderland is more of a fantasy story and i say looking glass is more like a adventure story. The storys are so much fun to read because you never have any idea as to what will happen next. I,m sure alot of readers would say theres really no plot or story, it,s just alot of nonsense and nothing makes sense. Well i would say thats the point of the alice storys is that they are about nonsense and are not meant to make sense. You just have to allow yourself to be taken for a wild ride through wonderland and the looking glass world.The one thing i did,t like about tim burtons new movie is he made the jabberwocky a dragon. I always thought of it as just a monster or creature and did,t know it was like a dragon. the part with tweedledum and tweedledee is longer and funnier then what i was expecting. Both storys are a must read.

new artwork
well the new artwork on my blog seems to be a big hit. Everyone seems to love it. My friend jim did a awesome job. He has not one but 2 comic books coming out later this year. He will be the next stan lee or jack kirby. thank you again for making my blog look really cool. you are the man when it comes to stuff like this.
movie review of tim burtons alice in wonderland
I was very excited to see tim burtons alice in wonderland. You would think who better to make a new movie based on alice in wonderland but tim burton. You would think it be the perfect match of film maker and story. Well in this case you would be wrong. This is not alice in wonderland, it,s just another fantasy movie that ends with a big battle. I kept thinking that this is not wonderland. The characters you love like the mad hatter, and all the rest are not what you expect. The tea party scene is always the most fun and funny part of any movie version and in this movie it,s dark and not at all what you expect or want it to be like. it still has it,s funny bits to it but it sould have been better. Johnny deep is good as the mad hatter but the mistake tim burton made was trying to make him the star of the movie. I have loved the story of alice in wonderland ever since i first saw the disney version of it as a kid. The good thing about the movie is it made me really want to read the book. helen carter was great as the red queen. My mom really wants to see this movie and i,ll take her to see it. I think now that i know what the movie is like mybe i,ll enjoy it more. There is a good idea behind this movie by making it a sequel to the other storys. It,s too bad it does,t live up to the classic storys.
hulk movie news
Well i just read that ed norton has said he does,t want to do another hulk movie. I say i may have to hulk out and smash ed norton. I loved the new hulk movie,it was so much better then ang lees movie. I have been waiting to hear when we would get a sequel. The new movie ends by setting up the leader to be the main bad guy for the sequel. I was excited to see where they would take the hulk and what they would do with him and i wondered what storys we might see done from the comic books. Ed norton did say we may still see hulk in the avengers movie. I say get rid of ed norton so we can get a hulk sequel and let me make the next hulk movie. So who thinks i could make a good hulk movie?

farscape review
I finished watching farscape this week and it was excellent.The show is a must see for all scifi fans. I was,t crazy about season 4. I felt like alot of the episodes were not needed and any episodes that did,t move the story forward i just did,t care about. I do want to talk about one episode that is for season 3 or 4 that was done like a classic looney tunes cartoon and it was funny as hell. I laughed my ass off. Season 4 ends on a huge cliffhanger that must have made fans scream since the show got canceled after the end of season 4. They were planning on ending farscape with season 5 and because the scifi ch sucks that did,t happen. What did happen is because of the fans, the people who made farscape got to make a tv movie so that farscape could get a series finale. The movie the peacekeeper wars was a excellent end to farscape. it wrapped everything up, it answered all your ? and it still surprised, shocked you with where it went and also to what happened to everyone. The first 3 seasons of farscape are excellent and season 4 is very hit and miss. season 4 does start getting good near the end of the season and the last bunch of episodes are great. I say that every scifi fan needs to watch this show.

24 news
well it looks like 24 might get canceled soon. It will be a real shame if fox does cancel the show. The reason it will be a shame is because this season sucks. This season got off to a good start then it went down hill real fast and i don,t see how it can recover since we are at the halfway point for the season. At the end of 24s 5th season kiefer sutherland signed a 3 year deal to stay with the show until this new season. I always thought season 8 would be the last year for the show. Kiefer sutherland got paid 40 million dollar$ to do seasons 6,7,8. I think the way the story was set up for this season could have been a good way to end things but then it all went out the window and we were left with crappy storylines that the fans hate. The ratings for 24 have been dropping all season and thats because the show sucks so much that i think only diehard fans are still watching it at this point. I got into 24 late, like i think i started watching it around season 3. I borrowed seasons 1 and 2 from a friend and watched them on dvd. I was hooked from the first episode. The show has been excllent for the most part. Most fans would say season 6 is the baddest season but i think season 8 is the most awful season of the whole series. Fox has to bring back 24 for a good final season.
new look
well the new artwork on my blog was done by my friend jim. I think it looks awesome and i love it. For movie fans the picture is from the classic movie attack of the 50ft woman. Tell me what all of you think of the artwork. thank you to jim, you did a awesome job.

boondock saints 2 review
WOW,this movie was so bad and awful.I love boondock saints, it,s a great little movie that got screwed over and everyone discovered it on videotape then dvd. The first one came out over 10 years ago and this past fall we finally got a sequel and this sequel sucks big time. If i did,t know the same guy who wrote and made the first one also made this one, i would have thought this sequel was made by someone else who never saw the first movie. The movie is a joke and i,m shocked the reviews for it were so good. I could,t wait to see this movie and it was a big let down. I say they have to make another one to make up for how bad this one was. Most of the original cast did come back for this crappy movie and even such good actors could,t save this movie. Don,t waste your time or money on boondock saints 2. Trust me when i say just watch the first movie again. I give boondock saints 2, just 1 star.
comic book movie news

percy jackson and the lightning thief review
I just went to the movies and saw Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. It was better then I thought it would be. You know, or can guess what will happen next. There's no surprises at all in the movie. The f/x was good, the monsters were alright. The movie was funny. I did laugh a lot. If you like kid oriented fantasy movies or know anything about the Greek gods you will enjoy this movie. It's a fun little movie. It's based on a children s book series. I liked it enough that I'm now interested in reading the book. I recommend if you do see it in the theaters, go in the afternoon. The movie is not worth the 10$ to see it at night. I did enjoyed it. I give it 3 stars for being fun and being better then I expected.
The return of Futurama
Good news everyone! We will see the return of Futurama this June. The new season will be 12 episodes long.

24 season 8
I thought the new season of 24 got off to a great start. The first 4 episodes were good, exciting, and action packed. After episode 4, it just went downhill very fast and i was ready to give up on the show because- that's how awful this season has been. This weeks episode was good enough and had enough action to keep me watching the show. I figure that since we are now halfway into this season, I might as well continue to watch the rest of the shows to see if 24 gets any better.

My First Movie Review
I thought my first movie review would be for a movie such as Star Wars, but my dad asked me to write about the new movie Shutter Island. I'd like to start off by saying that Shutter Island is the first- must see movie of 2010. Everyone should go out and see Shutter Island in the movie theaters. It's really that good! I have to say that the acting in the movie is excellent. And that includes everyone- from Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, and Max Von Sydow. The previews make it seem like it could be a scary horror movie. Well, it's really not a horror movie at all. It's a thriller. And it's actually more of a suspense movie- and creepy. But it's not really scary. The movie does keep you guessing as to what might happen next. I read Dennis Lehane's book, and i thought his book was great. I've only read the book once though, so I couldn't tell what they might have changed or simply left out. The movie was just as good as the book. I think DiCaprio could be up for an Oscar next year for Shutter Island- because that's how good he was. I've been a long time fan of Martin Scorsese, and this is one of his great movies. And this is actually the first thriller he has made since Cape Fear, which came out back in 1991. Scorsese is mostly known for his mob movies, but he also makes great thrillers. And I hope he doesn't wait too long to make another! I have to say Shutter Island gets 4 stars. Forget Avatar! Go out and see Shutter Island!

Comic Book Movie News!
Chris Nolan's brother Jonah Nolan will direct the next Superman movie. Chris Nolan after he finishes filming Batman 3, will direct the Justice League of America movie. David Goyer will co-write the new Superman movie with Jonah Nolan. It's cool to think that Chris Nolan will direct the new J.L.A. movie. For anyone that doesn't know about the Justice League of America comic book series, I'll write up a little history about it later on.
