No-Maj, Muggle, Why cant we be simply muggles?

And An interesting question this provides indeed! So I just returned from seeing Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. Overall the film was amazing! The effects and just the story itself. Even the new creatures! All were ecstatic and simply Wizard! This really is a great film to watch and enjoy! But Like all good things there were some flaws in it that need discussing and certain story points i hope Get explained In the next film(s). Shall we beguin?....

yes we shall!

P.S. This post is SPOILERY LIKE MY OTHERS IF YOU WISH TO WAIT AND SEE THE FILM THEN WAIT GO SEE IT AND THEN RETURN TO US!!!!


Now As The title suggests theres A new name out there for us non-magic folk here In good old North america. No-Maj, its deffinetly interesting! But At the Same time really Why Must we have a different species name? Uggghh! Well for now this question will probably remain Unanswered.... But Its diffinetly interesting.

As I said before this film was Amazing. Such a great cast! Eddie Redmayne (Newt Scamander), Dan Fogler ( Jacob Kowalski), Katherine Waterson ( Porpen*tina* Goldstein), Alison Sudol (Queenie Goldstien), Colin Farrel (Percieval Graves), Ezra Miller (Credence), Samantha Morton ( Mary Lou), Jon Voight (Henry Shaw Sr.), Carmen Ejogo (USA President of MACUSA  Seriphina), and the amazing Johnny Depp (Gellert Grindelwald). This cast is bloody brilliant together! From the moment the film begins to the moment it ends, it is a Greatwork that both reminds us and yet reintroduces us to moments and Certain creatures and spells that just compliments the original Harry Potter saga! And yes this film Is a great Stand Alone movie in my mind. Even the 3D effect was Immersive as was the Sounds and backgrounds.

Now seeing that I consider this both a brand new beginning and A prequel to our beloved saga. This gives us A new story that is set In a time period long gone, the 1920's new York, Filled with lots of new exciting characters and spells, But Also old ones that Bring back memories. not to mention all the awesome wizard duels!

Newt Scamander's suitcase was such a beautiful new world to explore! I thought it was Neat and utterly Stunning that It Brought me back To the awe inspiring look harry gave us in the the goblet of fire movie when he entered the Weaseley's tent for the first time. The spell that creates Newt's case, The Weasely's tent, and Hermionie's Beaded bag..... etc, is a charm called Undetected Extension charm. this charm really is neat I say.

Now As I said this film takes place in 1920's New York, During the rise to power from an evil Wizard named Gellert Grindelwald whose plan was to make a big scene reveling the wizarding world to muggles (No-Maj) and then take over the whole world And make the muggles subservient To Wizards. In the future films we are all hoping for the Big Battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald Which alot of us Potterheads are clamoring for. Also theres A big suprise  for we longtime fans towards the middle which gets paid off at the end of the film! Now back to the Plot it seems Our Boy Newt wasn't planning On staying in London. We find out that he Says He had plans to go west to Arizona! but he doesn't at least not this trip especially since his reason of why was released and never recaptured, or so we are told I am holding out hope!, instead of following thru with his main reason, Hyjinx ensue when he Stopped to Listen to a very not-so-nice rally from A second Salemer called Mary Lou (Shes not nice at all and It could be said . its here he meets his soon-to-be No-Maj friend Jacob whom wants to be a baker! But as hijynx ensue is pulled at first unwillingly into the magical world of wizards and magic. The way too Adorable critter responsible is called a Niffler, A mole like creature that likes glittery things wayyyyyy too much! Eventually Newt is captured by A Mecusa agent called Tina who tries talking to her superiors about her capture But is sent away and we find out its because she had been recently ( I Believe) demoted due to an event With Mary Lou and her Adopted "children" (there was like 7 or so and only used like 2 of them).

Now part of my story issue problem comes up with this storyline, as it Seemed kinda left several things hanging like why does Mary beat up Credence more than the other children? what happenned in their past? And bigest thing of all How/What were the circumstances of Credance meeting Up with Graves? Those two characters had an interesting dynamic ( I saw a father/ son vibe But i am reading others saw sexual tension) and I hope more is revealed about it as I feel Grindelwald Must of Had  more behind their meeting then meets the eye. Grindelwald We are told In the cannon was A very smart, calculating, ruthless wizard. We was the greatest threat to the wizarding world until his defeat at the hands of his Best friend, and lover. Mary Lou, Credence, and the Little girl, i feel we need more of their story but we probably might not get it. Or If we do it'll be learning more about other Obscurial.

Now as the story Continued we see Tina Decides to help get newt's case back from the mortal who had taken it instead of his pastrie case. now At his home poor jacob has A small home and A picture of his mother He didnt seem very sentimental about possetions Save for that picture. but as luck would have it he had the magic case and released 5 of the many creatures in the suitcase. and the poor muggle gets bitten by one and the rest destroys his home.... luckly Newt shows up and In a quickly witted Bit he and Tina gets to Jacob's wrecked home and as it happens also fixes the place... cause magic! And Well the duo becomes a trio whom returns to Tina's Home where her sister is waiting for her. Queenie Beguins using

Back to Love

 Hobey Ho! 

Apologies it's been awile since i've posted. But hopefully I ll be back to my musings! I hope your all doing well. This pandemic has been scary and crazy, and Brought out the worst in people. It has been way too long since I last sat to write anything of interest down. 


So about half an hour ago I just finished a fun little film called Still Breathing on Amazon Prime. So it was released in 1997 and Stars Heart Throb Brendan Fraser as the male lead (Fletcher McBracken) , Joanna Going as the lead female (Rosalyn Willoughby), Celeste Holm, Angus Macfadyen. It is a Beautifull little film centers around a con artist, Ros, in Los Angeles, and a puppeteer, Fletcher, In San Antonio whom has a dream about Ros. Which links the two beings together. Fletcher thru a series of making collages  that look both like and nothing like Ros, thinks she is in Japan but during his layover flight which stopped in LA. He sees a magazine that features the cute little bar/ restaurant that made him think to go to japan. We find him going to her bar to find her and litterely turns around to see her. Hijinks ensue as he beguins to woo her and she thinks hes a mark but  when he talks her too coming home with him to get out of the seedy LA,she goes and finds the beauty of his home with him. But once he explains himself she leaves him, not able to contemplate his belief in true love she returns to LA. and discovers that just maybe his belief could be true and maybe she could find hapiness with him...


So this movie is Beautifull, for being shot in the late 90's it was gorgeus. The movie leaves lots of loose ends but its a nice simple rom-com. Being a 90's kid seeing long haired Brendan Fraser was just everything. Especially seeing his funny giantesquse walk  made my heart flutter cause it reminds me of my own strange walk! lol But I loved George of the jungle, the mummy trilogy, Monkeybone, Encino man, and many others of his stuff. so its nice seeing a long haired Brendan again.


so My thoughts I loved it! simple as that! It had some bits like she was never explained why she seemed like she knew him. or what the deal was with her and her art dealer friend. or her and the lady i assume was either her aunt or her mother. or what they thought of him. but a fun little rom com about finding ourtrue loves!

Dancing divas

Hello hello!
Apologies since my last posting! I am back with another review this time for sequel to one of my favourite musicals of all time, Mamma Mia! So this movie was simply fantastic! They used a few more abba songs in it than the first, which just enhanced it for me!

The cast of younger older characters was even more fantastic! My favourite being the young Bill and young Donna played by Josh Dylan and Lily James respectively! Even the younger versions of Donna's friends was casted amazingly! I love the aged original cast! Especially mr. Dominic Cooper! Hubba hubba! Now the casting of Cher as Donna's mother was fantastic, but I would of loved nay preferred to hear more of her story especially the little love story she had, but alas we did not get it! :(  So seeing Young Harry, he totes had the gay vibe going from the start!  Which was funny and comedic!  I love the actor of older and younger Harry both were flamboyant and FABULOUS!  Now younger Sam was cute but he didn't hold the charm for me as well as older Sam did and still does! (I mean Peirce Brosnan is a gorgeous gorgeous human being!)

Towards the end of the film I felt was a bit rushed but still very enjoyable. A great new addition to the awesomeness that was the original and the album and artists who created the album and stage production!

I really really enjoyed the storyline and the new addition of more of good ol' classic Abba songs and the return of old ones!  Now here s. To the music I'll keep on coming!

What makes a show great?

Hello my Darlings. I am back I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year! today we will be talking about The Greatest Showman on Earth!

So yes this is a Musical. but a fabulous one at that. this was such a great show. like if you get a chance grab your musical loving friends and go see it! This show gets my highest praise since at times I felt like this was a live stage show I was watching! It also helped that I bought the soundtrack a couple weeks ago and have been playing it like non stop!

So Warning SPOILERS are ahead! But is int it awesome that this new musical won Best Original Song at the 2018 Golden Globes for the song "This Is Me!" I am so proud of this movie for its win! and its two other nominations! now this film really is a great film! It is meant to be seen in the Theater with other people!or just plainly with other people! but It is fun journey from start to finish! So this film stars Hugh Jackman as the title  character P.T Barnum,  Ellis Rubin as the actor of young  Barnum and Ziv Zaifman as the singing voice for young Barnum, Zak Efron as Phillip Carlyle, Michelle Williams as Charity Barnum, Zendaya as the acrobatist Anne Wheeler, and Keala Settle the Bearded lady aka Lettie Lutz!

So this film takes the Story of P.T Barnum and his creation of the famous Barnum circus which acutally had stopped performing 7 months prior to the beggining of filming! the whole cast were fabulous in all their roles! the movie has a very broadway feel to it from the get go which I love! I am quite sure I annoyed the kid sitting in front of us but wu-hey he didnt understand this theater and musically inclined author of yours! But i am sorry!

Ok so this movie Starts with the begging bit of a dream number "the Greatest Show" number of young Barnum and this Is such a great number to start this beautifull story off with! It had me toe tapping and stomping to the beat! and the costumes were just WOW!

To be Honest I did not have many issues as I enjoyed the whole film and I cant wait to add it to my collection! and dance thru the amazing soundtrack! just this film is awesome! go see it!

Peregrine, Pecular, Plots, and Pretty People!

Hobey ho Yall! So this afternoon I got to see Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children at my theatre this afternoon. First off let me say you guys need to check this one out! An amazing cast and an interesting story! Tim Burton directed this book adaptation from the novel of the same name. Now Note I have NOT read the book its based off of... But I did thoroughly enjoy the film. The Story was for the most part complete but with all things it has its plot holes.

So to start it off the biggest plothole that seemed to Be thru the main character {Jake's( Played by Asa Butterfield best known for his role as Mordered from the BBC's Merlin and Ender's game)} parents. Now you see what the hole is... is this so thruought the film they are shown to be for the most part unloving and Un caring about Jake. They go as far as to squash his theory about his grandfather and the stories Abe told Jake by making Jake go to a pshychiatrist and making him think nay believe he's crazy. The biggest issue I have with the film is this massive plothole! YES by the end Jake Just followed his grandfather's advice and found his way back to the time-loop he wanted to return too.... but I REALLY wanted/ expected Jake to return to His parents with proof, that picture for one, of some kind just to show them he is not crazy. also Another Part to this plot hole is the relationship between Franklin (Jake's dad) and Abe( played By the fabulous Terence Stamp) un-fleshed out. i would have loved to see What exactly happened that made their relationship so rocky.

Now the character of Jake was played splendidly well.... at least in my books it was! Asa Butterfield was remarkable! Miss Peregrine herself was fantastic as well, She was played by the fantastic Eva Green, of Dark Shadows(another Tim Burton film) where she played Angelique Bouchard, 300: Rise of an Empire as Artemisia, She is even a bond girl in the 2006 adaptation of Casino Royale, and as the lady Morgana in the STARZ TV adaptation of the Aurthurian legend Camelot. Grandpa Abe Was an Awesome character that was a big part of the movie! Terence Stamp (of the Christopher Reeve Superman fame, Smallville, and star wars fame)  was fantastic in this role of the loving grandfather storyteller! now on to the big baddie of the film Barron (played By the AMAZINGLY STELLAR Samuel L. Jackson, The Star Wars prequel trilogy, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a part of the amazing Anime Afro Samurai.) Whom even tho we didnt see much of had some fantastic lines in the end. Samuel really does make a fantastic Villian!

So we did have some different locations in the film and all were interesting. The Graphics were interesting. I think my favourite special effect was Miss Peregrine's bird transformation.

In the end the Movie was splendid and awesome! If You get a chance to see it please do go see it! I saw It In 2D at a Matinee and it w\as well worth it!

To Trek Or Not to Trek?

Hobey Ho Lets go! So Its Been ahile eh? Well I am Back now. And ready to write!

Last Night I went out To the Movies and I got to see The New Star Trek Beyond, The Latest Of the New Trek. Well For Me Once I left the thetre I felt The Movie Was the BEST of the New Trek So far!

As much as I love Chris Pine as Captain James Tiberius Kirk I was glad to see the Spotlight not Stay on him throught the film, It was Nice Seeing the Spotlight follow others Like Spock and Bones, Or Mr. Scotty and Jaylah.

The villian tho Played By Idris Elba was misused I felt, I wanted more from his character, At times he seemed dull and he had No real development. I felt his masked henchmen were scarrier than He once his scarriest Moment passed and faded!

Anytime Bones Was on the screen Was just fantastic! Karl Urban Has such a great Southern drawl For His Stunning Performance In ALL the trek films but in this Instalment he Shined! The Chemistry between Bones and Spok Was engaing and witty and Entertaining to watch! I applaud Zackary Quinto (Spock) For His humourless Expression and responces to Karl Urban's Bones. It was nice When the Story refrenced The Original Spock's (Mr. Leonard Nimoy, RIP) Death. It was sad But the Short Scene was sad yet Poingnint in its Effect.... I started to tear up at it. And To Think this past year we Lost A great soul In the Young Anton Yelchin who Played Chekov in the Reboot. Young man you will be missed! Chekov's scenes were Small But to the point and his Scenes were quite good.

Aside from Bones being Bones My other favourite was the scenes We got from Scotty (Simon Pegg) And Jaylah (Sofia Boutella). I loved How scotty continued to bring her along with him thru out their Adventure. It was like he took her under his wing to train her in cases he did! And then He gave her the Option to Join Star fleet As an Engineer/officer i think? it was so sweet tho. But from the Moment they met till that end scene they were an awesome together!

In the theatre some of the scenes were a bit dark but for the most part the scenes were clear and Beautifull. Now I know some people Dont Like how some of the music was Placed in the film, but to Me it Was Perfectly fine.

All together tho this is a must see movie in my opinion. it was a good film And fun to watch, till next time keep on trucking!

Nerds can be Heroes too!

Hobey Ho lets Go! Greetings bloggers So I just got out of The New video game extraveganza Pixels! It was awsome, This is my Big summer flick and It was epic from start to finish. The characters, the story, the use of music and the Look itself made my afternoon! I admit my Only issue was how Loud the action scenes got in the theatre But overall a solid film. So Lets get into it!

WARNING DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE FILM SPOILED!!!

Ok so in this film we follow Sam Brenner (Played by Adam Sandler - 50 first dates, Hotel Transylvannia) who was a champion of Pacman, Ludlow Lamonsoff (Played by Josh Gad - Frozen) a Centipede master, Eddie Plant (Played By Peter Dinklage - Knights of Badassdom, Game Of Thrones) the King of Donkey Kong, Will Cooper (Played by Kevin James - Mall Cop, Hitch) master of the claw; from their time as children and meeting to performing in the first ever Arcade game challenge in which they find out they are being tapped, and finding out that the tape will Be added to the space time capsule that will be launched into outer space in the Hopes that Extra Terristrial Life finds it and that they too know we exist! well the film does jump to the present in which we meet up with the second placer Sam who has settled Into his life as a Electronics installer and its here we also see will has become the president of the USA. The aliens have beguin their attack and after we meet the female lead in the film, Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Played by Michelle Monaghan - Made Of Honor) we are reintroduced to Ludlow who nearly gets beaten up by Sam but damn poor guy And he shows us that some nerds Never grow up or Out of their childhood crushes! But in the USA we meet Admiral Porter ( Played by Brian Cox - Troy, Braveheart) who seems to really dislike his president Will and Sam, his story was one of the plotholes left open... But Now that the aliens have beguin the battle our heroes have to suit up after the Taj-mahal gets attacked the aliens have two trophies and our heroes are off to London England to deal with the 3rd battle. In London we meet another officer, Corporal Hill (Played by Sean Bean - Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings) who trys to keep the order of things going but gets dismissed when his SEALS appear to be failing its Here two of the Heroes have to step up to the plate and defend their home!  Now in London we meet the prime minister whom dear old Will simply cant understand But oh so funny! After their first real battle against the alien's Is a success we return to america where We are Reintroduced to Eddie Who is just as charming and witty as He was In the past! (note I simply adore how well their Young Eddie transitioned to the older Eddie! Peter did an amazing job And tubular!) So Our heroes find out their 3rd battle Is Pacman and In an amazing display of Stunts and special effects we Got an amazing end that was Like WHOAAAAAAAA! I mean Literally I was all WHOOOOOOAAAAAAAAA! So after all the Whoaaaing We see the victory party which is cut short By the Alien's stating we forfeit as one or all has cheated, we find its just one who did And we learn thats how he became the champion.... Violet's son is taken as the third ,forfeighted, trophy and then we find our Heroes are without help as they figure Out a plan. They learn from Q*bert, one of their trophys, about the aliens. the following day Will Joins them with weapons and all are suited up as they find themselves facing anihilation if they dont beat the aliens back. in another awsome string of scenes sees our heroes doing battle in the attempt to get under the alien's starship the group seperates with Will, Violet and Sam continuing on to the ship and Eddie and Ludlow on the earth protecting their fellow humans. Ludlow eventually comes across his pixellated sweetheart the Lady Lisa and finds he cannot bring himself to hurt her, in a beautifully quiet scene he tells her his feelings and she too stops. back on the ship, the others find their final challenge is Donkey Kong And Sam Learns from Violet's son that he is the champion truly and thus Donkey Kong Beguins.... in the end Our Heroes won And showed the world that nerds can be heroes too and even gaming can be usefull! :)

The Visuals and Special effects were so spectacular In the show, like how they brought the 80's arcade game characters to life in magnificent 3D. Even the pixels that came out of buildings when the aliens begain their Battle! Everything had such brilliant colours!

The story was fulfilling right to the end all in all a very enjoyable film I reccomend it completely! I rate this film 8 tubulars out of 10!

Knaves Round BEWARE

...... For thine battle is yet to be gotten this very night!
Apologies! Gratitutde readers this review is all on the 2013 film Knights of Badassdom, starring Peter Dinklage (Hung), Summer Glau (Gwen), Brett Gipson & Tom Hopper (Gunther), Ryan Kwanten (Joe), Steve Zahn (Eric), Jimmi Simpson (Ronnie kwok) and several others In this (legendary) Epic! Now firstly I must admit I first really wanted to see the film cause peter was in it and it and it had made its way to my radar due to it has swords, LARPing involved (LARP- Live-action RolePlay), and just Plain old fun involved. Now this film is an R rated film but thats besides the point, the Point being its AWSOME! And it shows a bit more into the world of us fellow geeks! when you have a film with Succubus demon wench involved and whole lot of shrooms one cant go wrong! Warning tho this film Is not to be taken lightly! but it is fun if you need a laugh! Now I have been to a Medieval gathering and this was awsome, I have to admit its kinda funny thinking of the ironic ness of the film that if you get too into the game you could really do some nasty damage with forces you dont know about! As I was saying... this film is awsome! But It has Some sad moments and some truly Horrific and funny ones.... RIP Ser Hung, and all the other LARP'ers that died At the battle of Evermore!

The Songs or Lyrical musical pieces were not my cup of tea but they surprised me by not being too horrible to mine ears. all the scores Had me quite indepth with the film, and didnt take me Out Of it. which is  good. but very enjoyable. other than In the beggining But that was me just getting Into it and i am glad I stayed thru till the end! In the end tho I am glad to see how they wrapped Up, rather nicely, the use of music with the singing of the incantations to finally defeat the monster.

I must say the costumes were epic as was the main characters castle like home. Also the Foamy like weapons and actual weapons of steel were epic! I felt bad ser Hung's mace was bent! I also quite enjoyed How Ser hung and his 'shrooms as well As His twin blades! its safe to say Ser Hung is my favourite character and i was sad when he died But was incredibly happy to see him 'reanimated" in the end of the film! I found the red subtitles In the movie entertaining as well as it helps with the maps! which were well drawn up! Also THE DRAGON!!! awsome!

I have to say my favourite scenes, the  middlesomewhat, where Hung is explaining the Larping to Joe, and how to get points particularily funny as Peter Dinklage gives an Awsome several lessons to joe! its also where are heroes meet gwen Who seems beautiful yet dangerous, and also had a funny bit about Her afterwards! but my second favourite scene would have to be the end once Hung's corpse is reanimated and we are reminded of His epic lesson to joe earlier on!

At the end of the day a great film to watch if you need a laugh! And just awsome little adventure!

The Good and the evil!

Ok so Howdy yall!! Warrior goddess Back with another Movie Review! I Know Its actually Only been ..... what only a month and i am releasing another review? hehehhe well I figure its time I try and Make good on my promise here! Ok so the Movie i seen this Night Was Malifecent! For Disney to take a villian Pretty dastardly evil and Humanize her was pretty.... cool!  Now WARNING This review is spoilerrific!So be warned !!!!

Now on the topic Of the Movie Itself. I seen it In 3D and was pretty Happy with it. all in all it was nice seeing my local theater filled Up as it was... Thankfully and somehow I had managed to get my butt Into a seat close to the Middle and somehow had not gotten surrounded cept when I went to the concession :P so that was that! Now For a Disney movie that had a couple Big battle sequences I was quite Impressed with them! All together there was only one part of the story I would have liked a Bit more light shed upon!

So the Movie itself reminded me a bit of Disney ABC's Once Upon a Time show that will Be entering Its fourth season this fall. The reason it reminds me Of the show is Kind of the way the story unfolded and How the True love's Kiss took Place! Now In the show we do see the Story tool Used LOTS But still enough to keep us enthralled.... in the movie At that Point it was Kinda foreseen. This was One Of the quirks I had with the movie as it took me Out Of it for the Moment. now On A better reminding Note as that Little bit reminded Me Of the show, The FIRST battle sequence we saw was awsome And Well done and reminded Me a lot of The recent Chronicles of Narnia and the epic scale of the battles In those films. It was A good reminiscing In the beggining of the movie!

Ok So Angelina Jole Is the title role of Malifecent! And You Know I was sitting In my seat totally Enjoying Her film presceance as well as the regal way Angelina held herself through out the film! Like When Malifecent was flying thru the air or reciting Aurora's gifts/ curse scene, I LOVED It like Angelina Jolie just ..... just brought the classic evil and regalness of the character to Life and It ALL worked! I sat there Just mesmerized At How the young Actress whom Portrayed Young Malifecent Did A Wonderfull Job of Getting a good deal Of Angelina's manerizims and Way of carrying herself thruought her scenes!  Elle Fanning did An awsome job of playing the Inquisitive princess nicknamed * Beast/beastie (not sure which)* lol  by Malifecent Her "fairy Gods mother*! heheheh Also All the young actresses portraying younger Aurora Including One of Angelina's children, did awsomely as well! I have to say tho I was NOT sold On the actors who Played Stephan(father of Aurora and king) I was glad His scenes were short As I did not like How the actors handled Him or Just How he was written or all three But ya! I Liked Prince Phillip and his actor! he was cute and charming and I was Brought back to the animated feature of how animated Phillip was and was quite pleased!

Now On another Bit, I found some of the scenes to be a bit much... this cause In some scenes It felt as If they were trying to put so much Other stuff Into it to take Away from the plot Of the scene. Now dont get Me wrong I Love how detailed Most Of the scenes were. but those few felt a little .... crowded!  Disney Movies Have always held great visual Impact Upon me since I first watched Disney films. The wide Beautifull vistas were very beautifull to Look at and made me want to Jump in and explore it! The Visual effects were quite good As well as the sound effects. This film Was Good In How It handled Maleficent And Her Powers!

The Pixis were Interesting, in their stupidy! i was Not really Happy with them, I had It figured we Might see the comical scene of make it blue/pink/spoltch of colours in the end with Aurora's dress but alas we did not. But I was Very happy to Hear, to see the Iconic curse scene! The scene from the classic that I was glad was pretty Much word for word from the original! as i said above Angelina Jolie and the effects team as well as the writters did superbly! The scene felt Wright and Hearing it from the way angelina delivered the scene and The camera men shoot it was superb!

The story itself was sound And all in all pretty good. the Only thing I had issue with is the whole Malifecent going all evil, it had a hole in that Part of the story for if memory serves me correctly, Maleficent has satanic Like Powers and/or Shes like THE Villian! And Like she has/had some Kind of deal with some dark god(satan maybe i think?) to get Her dark powers. Now YES the Movie does say in the Beggining somewhere And again towards the end that she IS the most Powerful fairy there, even tho we dont see any other fairies I don't think?  so ya But I think the writers couldhave given us a bit More On that front. But aside from that i did enjoy the film!

The many Magical creatures were awsome and amazing to look at and made me wonder at their creation and Like what Inspired them? as well as made me curious to their History and and such!

So all in all i give this film 8 out of 10 swords! it was a great film, see it in 3D in 2D and Just enjoy!

Arks, Animals and NOAH

Yes that's right I am back! Gratitude for being patient with me my followers!

THIS IS SPOILERY!!!!!!!!  If you Have NOT seen Noah TURN BACK NOW !!!!!!

So today i went to the Matinee today And went and seen the new Darren Aronofsky film Noah! I saw the film In 2D But was amazed regardless! now out of the whole film I had Only A  couple of negative thoughts but the rest of the film was quite enjoyable! Now i do Know and i am aware that Darren is an athiest But to be Honest, He did an awsome job in My Mind!

Ok so first off I really enjoyed Russel Crowe And Ray Winstone`s performances! Russel As The title Character Noah Just was beautifull! I admit It I went to see the film mainly for Russel but thats beside the Point He made A fantastic Noah and a dreamy one at that! Ray made such a great bad guy! He made a great Badguy that A Person both wanted more out Of and from as well as that of a character that was fun to dislike.

Ok so I have only seen two other Darren Aronofsky films, The Fountain and Black Swan, In My opinion  I thought Noah was A fun film to watch. When we were listening and watching the creation of the world we saw it in a more ''evolutionairy'' process, this was fast paced awsome camera work that was Intriguing, he used this type of camera work a couple types first was that of when Noah planted a special seed that Basically made a life grow at the foot of a Beautiful Mountain area, and then He used it again during Noah's retelling of the Bible story And the whole creation part. This kinda camera work is cool and intriguing to me, but you see he used this camera work in the fountain near the end of the film and all I can say Is WOW! I dont recall this fast pace camera work was used in Black swan but it was beautifull regardless and added an interesting layer to the film Noah!

In the Movie Noah, we see the boy Noah see his father killed by a descendent of Cain called Tubal-Cain (who Is the King! of all the bad Misguided people and decendents of adam and eve!) But ok so we see how the world had been devestated by these descendents of Cain who were originally helped by fallen angels called Watchers! And these same beings Help Noah out later On! So ok, we see A father named Noah now with His family, And we see that Noah and his family are vegetarians! ( they dont eat meat! EVER! in the Movie) well noah ends Up Having this weird dream where he sees this beautiful alive and green Mountain, he then sees a vast Burned black ground that turns Out to be blood ( EWWW) and then hes Breathing UNDERWATER! well then Noah  wakes up and tells His wife Naameh ( Played by the beautiful Jennifer Connely) About the dream and how it comes from the Creator, Well then they decide to go to the mountain which is where Noah's grandfather, Methusula, lives, along the way Noah's sons, Shem or Ham, finds a Young girl amidst a slaughter Of her kinsman where she recieved a bad Injury to her womb and Is made barren because of it, well Noah being Kindhearted takes the girl in and adopts her Into his family, her name is Ila ( played later by Emma Watson). So some of Ila's family's killers show up and chase Noah and his family Into Lands belonging to The Watchers. well the Watchers end up abducting Noah and his family but then One of them Believes Noah's story and takes Him and his family to where Methusula and His mountain is. Noah goes up with his eldest Shem, and And we Meet Methusula ( Anthony Hopkins) and Methusula makes a joke with Shem about Berries.... well shem gets Put to sleep While Noah and he talks...

About eight years or so and the ark Is nearly done.  First comes all that flies so birds! Then all that slithers and lives partially on land an partially in water, so reptiles!.... well once the animals are On In there spots Noah and His family get this Incense going and they put the animals to sleep and secure them! Well Man kind under King Tublar-Cain  has become incredibly violent and becoming cannoaballistic too each other. Tublar-Cain Leads His, following the birds, Kind to Noah who He is told '' the ark is for the innocent'' and not the Likes of Tublar's flock! this enrages this king. Tublar-Cain Promises to return and claim the ark, '' Fortress'' , and Makes camp with His flock Away from Noah and His ark after The Watchers make their alliegience Known and pushes Tubal's forces back....  Now Ila and shem are shown to Have fun in the forest! This leads to Ila talking to both Noah and Naameh and revealing that she is barren at this Point, and that what she wants Is for Shem, Ham and Japheth( the three sons of Noah) to each be able to have relationships and A family which is something she cant give Shem. Noah then decides to enter Into Tubalar's camp and see If he can find three girls he could bring on to his ark to'save' well Noah realizes the finality of the charge the creator gave him and the evil that was in mankind that must be cleansed!( this is the beggining of My Issue) during this Point, Naameh goes and talks with Methusula and asks him to help Ila and Noah. the berry Joke is brought up again!

At this point ham and his girl  get out of the pit and as they Are running his girl gets her foot caught In a animal trap. At This Point when the rains started Tublar-Cain gives A speech to his flock and they start running towards the ark In desire to kill the giants and take over the ark.... Noah finds Ham and his girl as the flock is coming at them and Noah just grabs his son who gets dragged and watches his girl get killed by a running mob... well now they run to the ark.... the battle begins and The Watchers find that since they disgraced themselves from the Creator by Helping adam and eve and the descendants of Cain and they were killed or tried to return to the creator, they found they could not! well know that they had helped the creator's choosen, Noah, when the Humans defeated them they returned to their true Angel forms and returned to the creator!  The Battle raged on and by the last Angel returning to the creator the waives crashed into the ark and the flood  of the earth begain! Tubal-Cain who killed the first giant in the battle got a nasty wound and ended up hobbling uto the ark and managed to climb it and somehow managed to get himself inside it with His axe\Hammner! ... As the rains come down Methusula finally finds his berry and eats it and dies in the flood..... Ok so Ham eventually finds Tubal and tells him His father's plan And Tublar fills ham's head with thoughts of vengenance and Betraying his father. eventually Ila starts feeling sick and learns that she is preagnant and when Ila, Shem, and Naameh tell Noah, he becomes hostile,on this day the rains stop falling from the sky  when they tell Noah the news. learning the news and seeing the rains stop Noah thinks that mankind was not to survive the flood at all, and then tells his family his reasoning of How things will be which turns Most of them from Noah as He asks for help from the creator and Being answered with nothing Noah believes that the creator has turned from him until the issue is resolved..... Ila's belly quickly Grows in the time they are at sea.... Shem and Ila decide to leave and have a Built a boat for themselves, but on the day they were to leave, Noah appears And sets fire to their craft and this causes Ila to go Into early labour.

Noah climbs to the top where he finds Ila with her Newborns and looks like hes about to kill them when Ila pleads to let her soothe her babes first, as she hums the same tune he Humned to her when he first found her, the Old Loving noah returns  and as he readys to do the deed he finds he cant...... a little while later Noah Now the waters Have recided and dry land is abundant again and teeming with new life and the animals Hve been release we see Shem building a home for his family, we then see Noah as he goes thru this stage of drinking and then we find him butNaked And his eldest and His Youngest boy help him  we see ham and he decides to leave and the pain of lossing the girl and everything that happened was too much and he leaves.... Ila has words with Noah asking him why he did not kill the babes and he gives her sweet explanation'' Love'' and then he goes and finds his wife  and they play in the dirt!

Ok so that was my synopsis! lol Ok so i had issue with seeing Noah go from this Man who wanted to save His family and the ''Innocent'' to this Man who Believes,  after seeing the horror of Cain's descendents killing each other and other horrors of mankind, that Humanity in general must completely Perish if Life is to beguin anew! dont get me wrong theres lots of good reasoning behind it But I dont.... think Noah should have reacted so harshly towards His adopted daughter and his first born son's preagnancy. Noah should have been more reasonable but i guess after seeing the horror of what man kind had become  and what he believed to be the creator's will... still this was the one part that rubbed me wrong!

You see i do have a christian Background but I also have  A very sciency way of thinking so i think this movie is great if you come to it just wanting a good movie to enjoy. Dont come expecting anything from it and you will find it a far more enjoyable experience. Well in all the movie was great and I enjoyed It all! And would see it again!
