Coraline (the movie)

Hey Readers,
Now im moving on to Coraline the Movie. On my own personal opinion I thought this movie was phenomenal.

The 3D was great. But I want to share with you the deeper side of the story some people dont always see. The movie starts out with a little snippet of something that looks like the other mother (voice of Teri Hatcher) creating a doll of Coraline (you later discover that is how she spies on children).

Then you find Coraline (voice of Dakota Fanning) moving into her new apartment home named The Pink Palace. Coraline, much like any other child, was upset about having to leave her friends or best trolls as she refers to them.

Her parents work for a garden catalog and spend most of their time on the computer not paying any attention to Coraline. So with nothing better to do she decides to go out and explore and visit her neighbors; Mr.Bobinsky (voice of Ian McShane), Ms.Spink (voice of Jennifer Saunders), and Ms.Forcible (voice of Dawn French).

She goes off exploring for a dangerous well (which in the story her neighbors warn her not to go near. I cant remember if the same happened in the movie) and while exploring runs into a boy her age named Wybie (voice of Robert Bailey Jr.) and a black cat (voice of Keith David). Wybie gives Coraline the doll which I earlier reffered to was made by the other mother.

This is where the spying begins. Then after a few other events (I dont want to give away everything) Coraline enters the other world (home of the other mother) where its like a clone of her real life except everything is better. The only thing throwing Coraline off is the black button eyes of the other mother (and everything else she has created). The other mother asks Coraline if she would love to stay in the other world forever. Coraline ponders this, but when she finds out in order to stay she needs black buttons soed over her real eyes Coraline refuses. This sparked a bit of anger in the other mother. Now Coraline must find a way out of the other world, with her stolen parents (the real ones) for her life to be exactly normal.

Thats all I can give away right now.

If you have not already seen this movie I highly encourage you too.

Coraline (the video game)

Hey Readers,
My next review is on Coraline the video game.

Ive played this game from start to finish in just two days. Meaning it is not very long. But this game from what I can understand (I havent seen the movie yet but I plan too) explains the story well. Although the game is short more than half of it involves playing mini-games.
So even once you finish the story you can always go back and play the mini-games.

The bad thing is though the game itself is extremely short. But all in all I thought it was worth my 25$. I got this game for the wii but it is availabe for other consoles. Theres my review. Dont forget to comment and let me know what you think.

Horton Hears a Who!

Hey Readers,
This time its Horton Hears a Who directed by Jimmy Hayward and Steve Martino based on the book by Dr.Seuss.

This movie is funny, and a great family experience. In the movie Horton (voice of Jim Carrey) finds a whole city on a tiny spec of dust. This city belongs to the Whos of Whosville. But it turns out only Horton can hear the Whos. So once he tells his neighbors in the jungle they think he's crazy. But of course he's not. Horton communicates with the Mayor of Whosville (voice of Steve Carell).

The Mayor of Whosville decides that if he wants to save his town he needs Hortons help. So Horton takes off to find a quiet and stable environment for this tiny spec of a town to rest. But his kangaroo neighbor (voice of Carol Burnett) thinks he is crazy and is trying to spoil the minds of their children and sets off to try and rid the flower the spec rests on from the jungle. But no sooner does she convice the people of the jungle Horton is crazy and captures him EVERYONE can hear the Whos now. So they all come together and set the Whos in a quiet and peaceful environment.

Thats my review on Horton Hears a Who comment and let me know what you think.

Blizzard on a Roll!

Hey Readers,
This is my first review. And its on WoW (World of Warcraft). Now anyone that has played this game knows that its more than that. Its a world. Explore, Fight, Farm, Grind, Interact, RP (roleplay). You can do it all.

Another fun aspect of the game is too participate in battlegrounds where you join other people of the same faction to battle the rivaling faction. You can talk to a local battlemaster to join a queue to enter this event. There are multiple battlegrounds which you can join according to level.

From Warcraft I to World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King... Blizzard has outdone them selves. Their on a roll. Lets hope there is more to come because I know I would not want it to end here. Whats next? There is still so much more to be learned. After fighting Arthas what happens then? There is also a free 10 day trial at https://signup.worldofwarcraft.com/trial/index.html;jsessionid=7FC4B17014FB6ED5AFFBC6E6502C4BE0.app24_07(To anyone who hasnt played this game I highly recommend it.)
