My presentation on the Graphic Novel watchmen was good, but it could of been better. My part of the presentation included, the impact on society which talked about the Watchmen being different from other graphic novels, except it is more articulate.
the weakness of my presentation was that I didn't have enough information. Also i did not mention the toys, posters and other realted watchmen products. To improve on my future presentations i will focus on these.

Watchmen Writing style
The writing style of watchmen is a great asset to the graphic novel. It makes it seem more realistic, like the visual style. The writing style is what makes watchmen look and feel like an intelligent novel.
Like April in the article about what she had first thought of watchmen, she did not like it until she 'read it' and the writing pulled her in to the graphic novel and then everything else fell into place.

Watchmen visual style
The watchmen graphic novel would certainly be nothing without the visual style, that is what it is most known for. The visual style brings watchmen to life, without it, it would just be another graphic novel.
The blue smoke in watchmen added to the visual effect. In the graphic novel, they're just a subtle touch to show how the world of Watchmen is slightly different than ours. But apparently, they don't really have any relevance to the plot.

Watchmen, the film's comparison to the graphic novel
I liked the graphic Novel of The watchmen but nothing beats the film. It is what brought the graphic novel to life. The movie was great but of course like a lot of other novels the movie had to be changed. The movie only shows so much visually and they're goal is to make money so some parts had to be changed for those that haven't read the book and to make sure the movie was not to lengthy.
The upside to the film, is that if some people do not like reading they can still enjoy and understand the message behind watchmen that stays faithful to Alans Moore's book.

The characters of Watchmen
Next to the plot of the Watchmen, there are the characters. each character has a big impact on the story and part of their character symbolizes something we recognize today. Each character had their own symbolism.
The Comedian was a parody of Humanity. He thought human nature was a sick joke only he understood. Nite Owl II represented idealism. Manhattan represented the detachment, since he was losing touch with humanity after getting his god like powers. The only one of his kind. Rorschach was moral absolutism. Ozymandias was complexity. He used dark methods for the greater good. And Silk Spectre represents change.

The plot of watchmen
Watchmen is a great graphic novel to read that is deep. The Watchmen is written to tagert adults about a superhero story. The Watchmen takes place in a world where superheroes exist, but none have super powers. The onl one who does is called 'Doctor Manhatten' (the blue guy), who was a scientist who was in an accident which gave him god like powers.
Most of the superheroes are gone in the novel, since the government banned them. The story begins with an old hero, named the Comedienne, being murdered. Another character named Rorshach (who's a bit on the insane side) thinks that there's a conspiracy behind his death, and begins investigating, first by going around and talking to all the old heroes.
The story takes off from there.The importance of the story has to do with that it was written and is set in the 1980s. From the 50s to the 80s, people all over the world were constantly afraid that the Soviet Union and the United States could start a nuclear war with each other at any moment and kill billions of people. This plays in majorly with the setting of the story.

Gallery Walk
The following is my opnion on the graphic novels I read.
Page 1: From what I can tell this graphic novel is a spinoff of ‘World War One’, only the humans are rat that have a human figure. The characters visible on this page, are; Ilzecki, Level and Mr Spiehlman. The kind of language used in the text includes, informal writing.
The page is shaped according to what is happening in the story, the boxes are in no particular shape. From a visual perspective the text and some images on the screen are hard to read sometimes.
The page reads left to right and top to bottom. Yes, the words on the page add to the visual impact because the writing looks like it was written in their time the early 1900's. I would definitely be interested in reading this graphic novel because it looks deep and promising of what could be a worth while novel to read, even a series. This graphic novel makes me look forward to reading the other graphic novel.
Page 2: From what I can tell this graphic novel is about what is happening during the Islamic Revolution in the 1980's. Characters visible on the screen are what look like a young woman and her mother. The language used in the text, is formal and non-coloured text.
There are eight boxes visible on the screen and there are four that are the same and three others that are the same and one big one. The page reads top to bottom left to right. From a visual perspective the page is somewhat pleasing to the eye because there is no colour, but for this kind of Graphic Novel, it is good because the author wants the readers to pay attention to what is happening in the story.
Yes, the words add to the visual impact on the page especially since there is no colour to distract from it. Yes, the graphic novel lacks action and entertainment, but makes up for it in the back ground of the story.
Page 3: From what I can tell, this graphic novel is about ‘Watchmen’ and is written as an adult superhero story. Characters visible on the page are two men, one is an investigator and the other a man who runs a store.
The type of language used in the text are; yellow in the text boxes and the text seems to be informal. There are seven boxes and one is different than the rest. The page reads left to right and top to bottom. From a visual perspective, what I am seeing is pleasing to the eye. The pages are rich in colour and detail. Not difficult to follow at all.
The words on the page add to visual impact on the page, because it gives you that old-comic book feeling when you first look at it. Yes, from what I can see the Graphic Novel looks like one I would be interested in reading because it is profound and it’s reality matches the world in many ways.
Page 4: From what I can tell graphic novel about 300 the book written based on the events of the 300 Spartans. King leonides and some of his men in the background are characters that are visible on the screen. Language used in the text are formal is some and informal in the other boxes.
There are nine boxes in total and they are squares and rectangular shaped boxes. The page reads top to bottom and left to right. From what I can see from a visual perspective, the page is pleasing to the eye and rich in colour, is also easy to follow.
The words add to the visual impact they are hidden but at the same time they are easy to see. This graphic novel looks like one I would definetly be interested in reading because it looks it has lots of action.
Page 5: From what I can tell, this graphic novel is about astro boy, a graphic novel about a robot boy. Characters visible on the screen are astro boy and some elder men. The language used in the text is in black and white is informal.
In total, there are five boxes they all have a different shape, horizontally and vertically. The page reads top to bottom and left to right. From what I can see the page is somewhat pleasing to the eye. It is relativity easy to follow.
The words on the page definetly adds to the visual impact because of how similar it is to 1980's and 1990's comic books look. The graphic novel is one I would be interested in reading because it brings a feeling of nostalgia from the first glance.

But it's just a comic book right?
This article is interesting in a way that will make you be more open minded to reading other books and trying other things you thought were boring. April was like me before I watched or read the watchmen or most other gravel novels. I first thought it would be boring, but yet it turned out to be my favorite graphic novel, because of it's dark and mysterious plot.
I would even recommend it to everyone, it is one of those things that 'everyone' needs to see and understand. It is something that everyone can learn from.

Kick Ass
Kick Ass is a movie by lions gate coming out on 16 April 2010.
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Mark Strong, and Lyndsy Fonseca. Director: Matthew Vaughn and Writers: Jane Goldman, Mark Millar.
The plot of this movie is as follows: Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a super-hero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so.
I like the concept of the super hero and that they make it look like someone in this life time must have tried to dress up as a super hero and tried this by now. This movie looks like it is funny as the trailer makes it out to be and i will see it when it comes out.

The Road
A new movie coming out on the 25 of November is called 'The Road', is about; A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind. It is cold enough to crack stones, and, when the snow falls it is gray. The sky is dark. Their destination is the coast, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there. They have nothing: just a pistol to defend themselves against the lawless bands that stalk the road, the clothes they are wearing, a cart of scavenged food--and each other.
It seems like a good movie fro ma trailer, that could win some serious awards like 'Invictus' the movie coming out next year about Nelson Mandela, played by Morgan freeman. Cast: Charlize Theron, Viggo Mortensen, Robert Duvall, Guy Pearce, and Molly Parker
Director: John Hillcoat. Writer: Joe Penhall.
The movie it self is based on the pulizter prize winning novel, by Cormac Mc carthy, author of no country for old men. The road makes 2012 look liek a comedy in itself, hopefully the roads won't be pact when i go to see this movie.

Child hood cartoons
What would we be without our childhood especially the TV programs that were on at that time. I have watched a lot especially in the 1990's, those were my favorite times for games movies and cartoons.
There is a long list of all the cartoons I used to watch and they luckily can still be watched on you tube. Nothing beats the oldies, like sesame street, hey Arnold, Ned's newt, Buzz light year of star command and many more. There are no favorites of mien since i think they were all good cartoons of their time.

Don't swim when it's storming
One Public service announcement that caught my eye was one of the original G.I. Joe PSA's of not swimming while there is a storm to avoid the risk of getting electrocuted. I think this PSA and other one of G.I. Joe PSA's have a better impact than most other cartoon PSA's because he is closer to a real image of a human being.
I think this PSA would be more effective if Deep six was not wearing a big wet metal suit that could conduct electricity so easily.

The Season Of The Witch
'The season of the witch' is an adventure/horror film coming out on the 19th of march 2010. The cast incudes; Cast Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, Ulrich Thomsen, and Robert Sheehan.
Director: Dominic Sena and Writer, Bragi F. Schut.
The story is about a 14th-century knights transport a suspected witch to a monastery, where monks deduce her powers could be the source of the Black Plague. I personally like nicholas cage, as actor he is great. Ghostrider was one of my favourite films he was in, but many people don't seem to like him, even though they have seen a 27 second trailer they assume it is bad, but i willl wait to watch this movie befor ei judge it.
I do not like the national treasure movies, but non the less Nicholas is a good actor.

The Messenger
Coming out in late 2011, "The Messenger' is a movie about a man, (Ben Foster) who delivers the bad news of fallen soldiers in combat, to their families and loved ones. Starring Ben Foster who we know from 'Zombie land', Genre: Drama; Romance; War. Cast: Ben Foster, Jena Malone, Eamonn Walker, Woody Harrelson, and Yaya DaCosta. Director: Oren Moverman and Writers; Alessandro Camon, Oren Moverman. Rated R.
I can understand the pain the families that go through getting the messenges that their loved one died in battle, but also the messengers have a rough job. With the experience as a soldier/messenger he would fully understand the slap came out of the uncontrolled reaction from the shock, anguish & utter despair at the loss of a loved one.
We will be more enlightened after watching the full movie. In my opinion Ben Foster is an underrated actor, he has brought us great movies after the next, definitely will see this movie.

Shhhhh... Be vevvy quiet, I'm hunting Oscars!
An astonishing new movie coming out on the 11th of December called 'Invictus' is starring; Morgan freeman, and Matt Damon. Director: Clint Eastwood and writers; Anthony Peckham, John Carlin.
This movie is a look at life for Nelson Mandela after the fall of apartheid in South Africa during his first term as president when campaigned to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup event as an opportunity to unite his countrymen.
I have to say that Morgan freeman makes this movie look better than it is with his brilliant acting, and whoever idea it was to match him with Matt Damon was genius. This pair i didn't think i would see in any movie. I always had this funny feeling Freeman would someday play as Nelson Mandela, it helps to look like him.
I like how they portrayed the sport of rugby in this movie as well its an intense sport that also added to the effects of the movie. I'm going to watch it anyway because Morgan Freeman is in it and anything with Morgan Freeman in it is good.

Saw 6
Saw 6 is the sixth horror film in the saw series and is coming out on October the 23rd 2009. With the Cast;Shawnee Smith, Tobin Bell, Betsy Russell, James Van Patten, and Costas Mandylor.
Director: Kevin Greutert and Writers: Marcus Dunstan, and Patrick Melton.
Saw 6 is about a Special Agent Strahm who is dead, and Detective Hoffman has emerged as the unchallenged successor to Jigsaw's legacy. However, when the FBI draws closer to Hoffman, he is forced to set a game into motion, and Jigsaw's grand scheme is finally understood.
The perfect movie to see today on Halloween it is sure to scare viewers in a sense, but since this is the sixth in the series it is not as good as it were before. In my opinion saw 5 beats saw 1,2 and 3. But 4 was ok. Saw 1 had a low budget, it was just so unique and original, now there on a tight string barely being able to balance on now such ridiculous plot lines. I will still find the time to see this movie, but, if they make a saw 7 im not going to see it.

Tron
Tron 'Legacy' is the sequel to the original tron movie that was made somewhere in the 1990's, is coming out in 2011. This Science Fiction film stars, Olivia Wilde, Jeff Bridges, John Hurt, Bruce Boxleitner, and Amy Esterle. Director, Joseph Kosinski. Writers, Adam Horowitz, and Richard Jefferies.
This sequel is about A virtual-world worker, who looks to take down the Master Control Program.
I personally love tron and i am definitely seeing this movie the day it comes out. It has stunning visuals, as seen in the trailer.
Apparently Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack to this movie and they are good so now we know that both the visuals and the soundtracks will be good. Even though this movie will be good it can not top the original tron that was really high-tech for its time, i think i will see it again before i see this one.

Bioshock 2
Bioshock 2, is a game I have been waiting on, to come out for months after playing the first one. When I heard they were making a second one I wasn't surprised and I was excited to see what the game had in store for us fans. Coming out on the 20th of November bioshock returns for the second time.
Everyone who has played the first bioshock, knows that you had to fight 'Big daddy's' mini bosses that you had to face and defeat throughout the game but this time apparently you get to play as one. when I heard this, it was hard to imagine, but they have made the game even so that more enemies will appear, (that use to be too hard to handle in groups) since you will have the plasmid powers and the brute strength of the big daddy body.
I am getting this game the day it comes out its another game that will have everyone's attention for a long time. 10/10

Jackie chan, The spy next door
This January of the 15th, Jackie Chan is bob who plays a spy in the upcoming, Lions gate, theatrical movie, 'The spy next door'. This Action Packed, Comedy film has the Cast; Jackie Chan, Lucas Till, George Lopez, Amber Valletta, and Katherine Boecher,With the Director, Brian Levant and Writers, Jonathan Bernstein, James Greer.
While babysitting his neighbor's children, a mild-mannered guy winds up having to fight off secret agents after one of the kids inadvertently downloads a secret code. I'm a Jackie Chan fan i was sold when i saw this trailer and I'm going to see this movie it looks good.
Although i think many can agree Jackie and Chris tucker make the best pair in an action, Comedy film, but this time Jackie is flying solo. Unfortunately, many films have already done this concept. The Pacifier and Mr Nanny spring to mind, but Im sure there's even more.

Julie & Julia
Julie and Julia is a biography/drama movie that is coming out on the 7th of august. With the Cast; Amy Adams, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Vanessa Ferlito, Director; Nora Ephron and Writer; Nora Ephron, Julie Powell.
The film follows Powell, a government employee who decides to cook her way through legendary cook Julia Child's classic cookbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" in one year's time out of her small Queens kitchen. Powell blogs her daily experiences, gaining a loyal following along the way. The movie also follows Julia and Paul Child through Julia Child's memoir, MY LIFE IN FRANCE, which she wrote with her grand nephew Alex Prud'homme.
This movie makes me hungry just watching the trailer. I'm a big movie fan. I see a wide range of movies over a month and this is a good movie - entertaining, consistently amusing, and well acted by all. It probably won't scoop Oscars (not least because comedy rarely wins Oscars), but will make big bucks for Julie Powell, Norah Ephron, and the studios.

Astro Boy
Astro Boy, coming out on the 23rd of October is an animation movie based on the early 90's cartoons. Featuring the cast; Nicolas Cage, Kristen Bell and Bill Nighy. With the directors; Osamu Tezuka (comic series), Timothy Harris (screenplay).
The plot is Set in futuristic Metro City, Astro Boy is about a young robot with incredible powers created by a brilliant scientist in the image of the son he has lost. Unable to fulfill the grieving man's expectations, our hero embarks on a journey in search of acceptance, experiencing betrayal and a netherworld of robot gladiators, before he returns to save
Metro City and reconcile with the father who had rejected him.
When i heard they were making an Astro Boy movie i was excited but when Hollywood makes movies based on old animes I remember like 'dragon ball z' and 'street fighter'. This Astro Boy looks promising because it has the spirit that the original Osamu Tezuka anime had.
Even though it's CG, this is a better anime adaptation than Dragonball Evolution.
I don't like the look of it, i think it is another example of and great old franchise being bought up and ruined for a quick buck with no respect for original ideas.

Law Abiding Citizen
An awesome thriller coming out on the 16 of October(today), is starring Gerald Butler and Jamie foxx and as soon as i saw the official trailer i knew i had to see it. It looks like its going to be an amazing movie as always Gerald Butler makes a movie very entertaining like, 300, Gamer and What men want.
Law Abiding Citizen is a thriller about a brilliant sociopath who orchestrates a series of high-profile murders that grip the city of Philadelphia - all from inside his jail cell - and the prosecutor assigned to his case who realizes he is the only one who can end the reign of terror.
With the cast, Gerard Butler, Michael Gambon, and Jamie Foxx. Director, F. Gary Gray
Writer, Kurt Wimmer. There are many great movies coming out and i have to write them down so i don't forget to see them while there out.
Its too bad that people don't respect Jamie Foxx as much as Gerrad but hes done many great films as well. I think Foxx deserves more respect since he's , Got an Oscar for Best Actor , Nominated twice for an Oscar , Nominated for three Golden Globes, and a great fil mthat came out not too long ago, 'Soloistt' he also did a great Ray Charles.
Until Butler accomplishes something like that then Foxx deserves more praise.

Youth In Revolt
A New movie coming out on the #0th of October, called 'Youth in Revolt', is a comedy based film starring Michael Cera Who also starred in 'Superbad' is halarious in this film It is about Nick's trailer trash parents teeter who are on the edge of divorce, 14-year-old Nick sets his sights on dream girl Sheeni Saunders, hoping that she'll be the one to take away his virginity. Director; and Miguel Arteta. Writers; Gustin Nash, and C.D. Payne
Many people who have seen the special city screening have said this movie is funny and entertaining and everyone should g osee it. They say, 'everybody in the theater was dieing of laughter, there is not a single moment that your not laughing'. Michael Cera is great as a bad and good guy.
I haven't seen Year One yet. It looks funny, like when he is playing the gold statue and asks the slave what time she gets off and she says "never, I am a slave". I am going to go see this movie because he is the same character that we all like.
If Michael cera appeals to a lot of people who watch movies and makes a fair bit of money through it, is he not a bit talented? Cause he's talented enough to make it in the business, and that's a lot more than other actors.
I especially like the fake death scene in trailer, see link below.

Where the Wild Things Are
Many people know this book called 'Where the Wild Things Are', a story about a boy named max who's parents send him to bed without supper, then he throws a tantrum and then travels to an island where wild things are, and they do a Rumpus which is a party where they dance and howl.
Finally the movie that most people have been waiting for, is coming out the 16th of October 2009. With the cast, Catherine O'Hara, Forest Whitaker, and Catherine Keener and writers, Spike Jonze, and Dave Eggers. the overall plot follows most of the books storyline, an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.
I don't understand why all of the greatest children's books have to be made into over-hyped movies. Now, I feel like kids who aren't old enough to know the book yet will think of this story as a movie, rather than a picture book. To add to that, the CGI makes the wild things look as un-wild as possible. They just look big, bouncy. Another icon of childhood ruined by CGI, over promotion. -The Arcade Fire song makes the trailer look and soud better than it is. Theatres will be packed for this movie, and i might see it since inever read the books.

Red Cliff
Red cliff, a new movie coming out in early November is a action adventure movie, directed by John Woo, an epic movie that is based on the events during the Three Kingdoms period in Ancient China in which specifically told in the title, The Battle of Red Cliffs.
With the cast that looks like the characters from the 'Dynasty warriors' series, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Wei Zhao, Chen Chang, and Shido Nakamura. A lot of people want the asian characters to talk english in movies but, I don't want this movie in English. I want the language they speak, but I want English subs. Its just lame to dub or make them talk English, when its not about English people. Apparently this movie is a sequal and was already realeased in singapore, but i will still go to see this movie when it comes out. Still, its a great film, excellently choreographed, and fun to watch. A must see for any fans of films like House of Fying Daggers, Hero and Crouching Tiger.

The Fourth Kind
A new scary movie called the 'Fourth Kind' is coming out on the 6th of November. With the cast Milla Jovovich, Elias Koteas, and Will Patton. The movie is a Fact-based thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover up.
Nowadays horror movies are boring and the least they do is scare me, but finally a movie worth watching to get a jump now and then. In my opinion, movies involving aliens are the scariest and this one is going to win some kind of award, not movies involving 'saws' that are suppose to be suspenseful.
if you have nightmares from seeing horror movies, don't see this movie. This movie is going to just prove that nothing is what it seems. That anything people believe isn't real is or could be.

Couples Retreat
A fun movie to watch, 'Couples Retreat' is a fun movie to watch coming out on the 9th of October 2009. With the cast as Vince Vaughn, Malin Akerman, Ken Jeong, Kristen Bell, and Jason Bateman.
The plot is about a comedy centered around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort's therapy sessions is not optional.
This movie looks like an average date movie/comedy at best to me. Just more of the same comedy
fodder that fills the space between the good stuff. Might make for a good movie to take a date on, but probably nothing more than that. This movie will probably get good reviews because it is funny.

The Blind Side
A new movie Called, 'The Blind Side' is coming out on the 20 of November 2009. The has the of Cast;Sandra Bullock, Kathy Bates and Tim McGraw. The Director John Lee Hancock and the writer John Lee Hancock, Michael Lewis.
This movie is about a poor, over sized and under-educated teenager is recruited by a major college football program where he is groomed into an athletically and academically successful NFL prospect. Based on Michael Lewis' book, "The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.
Even though this movie is based on a true story and is great, there's a good chance twilight new moon will steal its thunder. this is a movie worth seeing. The trailer itself is inspiring. Sandra Bullock should get an Oscar.

Ong bak 2
One of my favorite martial arts movies, Òng Bak 2`is coming out on the 23 of October. With the cast, Tony Jaa, Sorapong Chatree, and Sarunyu, Tony makes another cable-less action packed movie that made me want to see it the moment I was done watching the trailer. This time the plot is about a young Thai boxer that learns the skills and inner meaning of martial art. This movie is not to be confused with `the protector` but this movie releases late in America and came out in Malaysia in March 2009.
Even though I like the movie I don`t like the fact that they use English instead of their native language it just defeats the purpose but some people do not like watching and reading subtitles at the same time. What I like about this movie is that they do not use green screens or stuntmen I cannot wait to see this movie.

This is it?
A new movie coming out on the 28 of October called' this s it' is a documentary and music of Micheal Jackson. This movie has a compilation of interviews, rehearsals and backstage footage of Michael Jackson as he prepared for his series of sold-out shows in London. I have always been a fan of Micheal and this is a movie that I have been long waiting for. As far as i know the tickets are gonna be gone and the cinemas will be packed. Now usually movies will last for two weeks if they are good like the dark night but this i sure is gonna be out for a much longer time.
The only thing that makes me sad is that a lot of the people really started appreciating him when he died. Michael Jackson was a genius, his music was wonderful I will miss him much and his music, his music will never die. I just wanna see him moonwalk.. one last time.
RIP MJ

Tyler Perrry is back and so is Madea
I am personally a fan of Tyler Perry's work and Madea is a funny and interesting character. This new movie called ' I can do bad all by my self', comes out on the 11 of September 2009. The cast include, Tyler Perry, Adam Rodriguez, Brian J. White, and Hope Olaide Wilson. The plot includes, Madea catches sixteen-year-old Jennifer and her two younger brothers looting her home, she decides to take matters into her own hands and delivers the young delinquents to the only relative they have: their aunt April. A heavy-drinking nightclub singer who lives off of Raymond, her married boyfriend, April wants nothing to do with the kids.
I went to see this movie and it was really good. The only thing i did not like about it was the singing some of the time. The movie is funny and serious, sad and was pretty entertaining. I like it. They are some really funny parts in it, and the other parts are sad and really serious. Out of 10 i would give this movie a 9 out of 10. It was very good, and its kinda better than madea goes to jail to me. I like tyler perry's movies because they have a message in them. It's nice to see minorities acting in a movie for a change.

The First Anime of Disney?
Its come to my attention that there has been an anime movie just released on the 14 of August 2009. This movie is called 'Ponyo" and it might attract a lot of people who like both anime and Disney. Although i like anime I don't like the fact that it's Disney that made this movie, I just don't see Disney making 'good' anime movies. None the less it is a good movie.
The plot of this movie is an animated adventure centered on a 5-year-old boy and his relationship with a goldfish princess who longs to become human. The cast consists of; Cast Liam Neeson, Noah Cyrus, Cloris Leachman, Matt Damon, Frankie Jonas and Tina Fey. Both the Director and the writer is Hayao Miyazaki, who also made the anime movie 'spirited away'. I have wtached my share of anime and I would rather watch this movie in 'subbed' than 'dubbed' only because of the way the english speakers pronounce the japanese names, sometimes they are wrong.
Both adults and kids can enjoy this movie but it is targeted towards children.

The First African American Princess?
Another Disney caught my attention A new movie coming named the princess and the frog is coming out in 11 December 2009 and it is animation style. Its cast consists of; Errence Howard, Oprah Winfrey, Anika Noni Rose, Keith David and Jennifer Cody.
The plot is about a fairy tale centered on a young girl named Princess Tiana who lives in New Orleans' French Quarter during the Jazz Age. To tell the truth, I'm glad that Disney has had a more change of heart into making a cartoon movie about/with African Americans/blacks in it. It just gives me hope tell me we're a little bit on schedule in diversifying the black race into the media, more and more as well as into cartoon movies starring for Disney. yeah, it's a small step, but hey, at least we're a bit more invited.
I personally hope this movie reaches the box office so that Disney can go back to making more animation styled movies like this and stick to what made them a legend but a lot of people need to see this movie so that can happen.

Surrogates
Surrogates a new movie starring bruce willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, James francis and Boris kodjoe comes out this friday, September 25, 2009. Surrogates is a thriller and I am sure it is action packed, predictable storyline and plot that has been played before, but I'm a big Bruce Willis fan. I've not been disappointed with his films yet. I will probably buy it when it comes out on blue ray.
The run time is eighty-nine mintues and the rating is PG 13 and up. The team who was behind 'Terminator three, Rise of the machines' are behind the making of this suspence thriler. If your into Si-Fi, you should see this movie.

Toy story 3?
i can hardly believe that toy story three is coming out Release Date: 18 June 201. I grew up watching a lot of Disney movies and toy story was one of my favorites with Tim Allan as buzz lighter as seen in the ninety's 'Buzz lighter' cartoon and Tom Hanks as woody. I can hardly wait to see this movie even though I'm in my teens anyone from kids to adults can and must see this movie its funny and it as always, has a good plot.
Still I cannot believe they worked to make a third toy story movie after all these years i guess we got lucky.

X men origins
X men- origins wolverine was the first movie i saw this summer and i liked it the most. Starring Hugh Jack man as wolverine, i liked the way he portrayed 'wolverine' as he was in the comics a grumpy short tempered cat with claws. To me Hugh jack man is wolverine and this movie was my favorite of all the x- men moves.
Hopefully they can make a story about the other x men, preferably gambit an interesting character in the comics. I give this movie 9 out of 10.

Stunning visulas in "nine"
I went to the movie 'nine' last weekend, and the first thing i thought when i saw the trailer, was how good the graphics and visuals were, at that point I completely forgot about the plot. The movie was one of the best animated movie I have ever seen in a long time. The story was intense, the action scenes were awesome, and the characters were brought out well. The only thing that bothered me is that there probably won't be a sequel. I thought the movie was good but i was disappointed in the ending. It just wasn't a satisfying ending for me. I like the plot and imagination as well its just the ending that just did not do it for me. Still I recommend go see it.

2009 Mini Cooper Convertible Road Test
Its been nearly two years since the mini cooper had been redesigned, finally the second-generation car model arrived on the market. But it's been worth the wait. The mini cooper convertible had an upgrade not only on the roof but in the interior too, I think the convertible version of this car looks better than the original.
The Mini's small chassis has been upgraded with a lot of little upgrades. The sandwich-style cross members that bridge the car's underside are now twice as thick as they are on the hatchback, and it's all linked together by new triangular welds that add strength. When you drive this car on the road you'll feel the changes instantly. There's less scuttle shake, and fewer tremors felt through the steering wheel than before.
The roof itself can also be operated at speeds of up to about 50 km/h, which is handy, should you encounter a thunderstorm while on the move. And like its BMW family, the roof can be lowered remotely with the flying saucer, simply push and hold the unlock button and watch the roof retract. It takes just 15 seconds.
As it says in the article, price is no object if you like the BMW like features the mini cooper has. "While this tester's $35,000 price tag seems like an awful lot of money, it's worth considering that it's extremely well equipped. If you forgo some of the pricier options, a Cooper Convertible can be yours for under $30,000. In fact, it's one of only four drop tops on the market that can claim this status. When you factor in its stellar fuel economy, the Cooper Convertible manages to be as big on fun as it is easy on your wallet." Its a great car to own.

Zombie land
A new movie coming called "Zombie land caught my on the weekend and it looks funny and entertaining. Now people have been saying this movie is a rip off of left four dead the game but i Don't really see how this is a rip off of L4D, that's pretty much assuming all zombie movies made after L4D are based on the game, this really just looks like a Shaun of the Dead with more action and creative ways of killing. Woody Harrelson looks perfect for this movie. A cowboy version of Shaun of the Dead is entertaining. If you like the shaun of the dead you will like this movie. You know, for being the end of the world, it is shown more like a massive fun fair for those who know how to cope with it. It's been a while since a good zombie movie has been realeased and im looking forward to see this movie on october the second.
