Alice in Wonderland in 3D

feonix83 — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:19:14 +0000

I saw the midnight showing with some friends, and it was an enjoyable movie. Very little of the 3D felt forced, as in them throwing the 3D right at you, besides that it felt well done and appropriate. The Mad Hatter came off a little strong and at times, made me realize it was Johnny Depp, and for a few cases, reminded me of Jack Sparrow. All in all a great story, well done visuals, and believable.
My Rating: 2.5 out of 3 stars

My not so Weekend with Cousin Erik

feonix83 — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 02:27:02 +0000

Okay, My Cousin Erik and I have been trying to hang out for some time, and we finally were able to. He came down from Central PA and we met at my house Sunday night (12-27-2009). He was playing Afro Samurai while I tried to get a game of Left 4 Dead 2 going. The first video is from the next day. We went to Sonic on the was to my School to try to get me signed up for next semester, however they were closed. So we went to the Dover Mall. From there we headed to my Dad’s. We stopped at a Valero on the way and found a whopping 7 Diet Mountain Dew Ultra Violet. Yes, I bought them all. We then had dinner with my Dad and his Girlfriend Mary. Dinner is pictured. I am glad to say I live in Delaware where scrapple is easily found. Erik played with Lefty, see video. We then went back to the house and played more video games. On Tuesday, Erik’s final day, we decided to go see Avatar with his brother Bobby:

I liked the movie (in 3D) and felt it had stunning visuals. Overall I give it Rating: 2.5 out of 3 stars. It did however have some hokeyness to it. There was a point where the bad guy, can’t remember his name, is giving a speech near the end, and I hear this sound, I thought it was the wings of that one real large flying creature on the other side of the glass, but was wrong. It threw me off for once.

We then went to the Golden Castle Diner with our Grandparents. On the way to dropping Erik and Bobby off to our Grandparents house we saw that there was an out letter giving us Charcoal Pi! Yes, Charcoal Π. Once again I had my Camera on Video. Anyway, I decide to get some groceries and head home. While in Super Giant, Ethan calls me up and invites me to see the Sherlock Holmes movie. After some back and forth, I decide to go. I beat him there by some time. Take a random shot, play some DDR until out of breath. As long as it has been since I played last, it did not take long. When Ethan and Katie arrived, I challenged him, and I am pretty sure I won. We then went in, talked, and enjoyed the feature film:

I found this to be a very good movie. About what I was expecting. I liked the clothing style, as it edges on Steam Punk. I also appreciated some of the explaining in the films. Also, I am not sure if others thought this, but I did suspect the bum early on to be Sherlock Holmes before they showed it. I give it also a Rating: 2.5 out of 3 stars.

The Hangover

feonix83 — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 16:44:28 +0000

I saw The Hangover last night with Amanda. Love it. I give it a 3 out of 3. Great storyline (for the most part) and great cameos.

Go Little Mac, Go!

Liked it, surprised by the ending, but could read (into the future on) a few parts as there were hints throughout the movie. Stay through the credits, for a few minutes. My Rating: 2 out of 3 stars

Wall-E

feonix83 — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:08:16 +0000

Wall-E, I loved this movie, but could not give it a perfect 3 though. It seemed as though something was missing for me. The movie was vast. Neither I nor anyone that I went with caught what the E stood for though. My Rating: 2.5 out of 3 stars

You Don’t Mess with the Zohan

In an effort to get caught up with movies Amanda and I saw about 4 in a two week period, heres the first. Great movie with a very good message behind it. nothing after the credits though. I called 2 things before they happened, go me. My Rating: 2.5 out of 3 stars

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

feonix83 — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:30:41 +0000

This past Tuesday I finally got to see this Movie with my Dad, as he was a fan of the original series. I think he liked it as did I. It had some aspects I did not like. Looked like a lot of CGI in the beginning. But overall a good move. It earns a solid Rating: 2 out of 3 stars.

Weekend Trip to Erik.

feonix83 — Wed, 07 May 2008 05:03:34 +0000

This past weekend I took the whole weekend to visit my cousin and his family in central PA. It was a long ride there, made easier by a satisfying meal at Cheeseburger In Paradise. Then on Saturday I worked on the family Computer as it was Blue Screen of Death’ing on them. Still not fixed. Erik and I finally had a chance to plan out our summer trip, and where better to go to plan but Cheeburger Cheeburger. We both had their 20 oz. (before cooking) burger and because of it got our picture on their wall. Later that night, Erik, Andy, Max and I went to see Iron Man:

I found it to be a fantastic beginning to a future movie line. If you have seen the previews, it starts off really slow, as the first half is before his initial suit. Beyond that the movie was amazing with obviously great special effects. In response to the inquiry, I felt it stood up to the previews. FYI, there is content after the credits. My Rating: 2.5 out of 3 stars.

Erik and I also reveled in the newly released GTA4 for the XBOX 360.:

I found the system for hitting pedestrians and being hit as a pedestrian to have drastically improved. The best site I have found for the game is http://www.gtagaming.com/ . Erik and My Rating: 3 out of 3 stars

All in all it was a good and restful weekend. Much fun was had by all.

Superhero Movie

I got to see this movie on my birthday and was quite happy with the choice. I am going to be short here. My Rating: 2.5 out of 3 stars. Stay for the credits and even try to read some. I saw some great out takes and a lot of other funny things.
