So, I just finished the movie Warrior. Wow. Movie was so amazing and epic. Such a great story, drama, passion, suspense, action and pure emotion. Warrior had it all. At least two or three times during the movie I wanted to cry due to two brothers fighting with everything they had and a son having to console his drunken father. Damn, this movie had everything a great movie should have. Hands down one of my top five favorite movies of all time, HANDS DOWN!!!!! I have to get this movie on Blu-Ray now, I would imagine that the special features that come with the movie would be just as epic as the movie itself, I want to know everything about this movie.
On a semi related note...
I love special features that come with the movie's I buy.
That is another reason why i generally only buy Blu-Ray's as well, they tend to come with a bit more in the special features department then a DVD does. Take Forgetting Sarah Marshal for example. The DVD had some awesome special features, however, the Blu-Ray had all of the DVD's special features along with like eight more things attached to it like a sing along with Infant Sorrow's songs.
Now back to Warrior.
If you haven't seen it yet then watch it as soon as possible, you will not regret it.

Blockbuster Movie Rentals
Hello everyone, how are you this evening. I'm good, just typing, NOW ON TO THE INFO.
I'm here to talk to you tonight about Blockbuster, yes, the movie rental store and yes, we do have a Blockbuster card. So, we have the Blockbuster movie pass, basically it is the Blockbuster version of Netflix. To be honest I like the Blockbuster movie pass, it allows us to get a movie by mail and when we are done watching that movie we can take it to a Blockbuster and get a new movie right away for free, after we are done with that movie then we take it back to Blockbuster and we get the next movie on our Que sent to us. This is what I really like about it, you basically can get two movies right away if you watch them fast enough. Well, that is what I like about it, but there is really one flaw in their whole movie renting game, and here it is.
OH MY LANTIS!!!!!!!!
So, there it is, you can not do anything but watch the DVD or Blu-Ray that you get. This pissed me off when I found out about this because I am an avid fan of watching the special features of a movie, sometimes that is one of the main reasons why I even get the movie, especially on Blu-Ray since they seem to come with more special features then a DVD. So basically when you rent a movie from Blockbuster, this is what you get, just a movie and it bugs me.
Now, I know I may seem retarded for letting this get on my nerves since technically you aren't paying full retail price, you are only paying about maybe 20-25% of what the actual movie is worth if you rent it from the store. So it isn't so far fetched that they would do this. But come on! What gets me the most heated is that they are joining forces with these movie company's to make sure that you don't get the full experience and that you have to go out and buy the whole movie to see everything included with the movie. I don't know about you but I don't really go out and buy a bunch of movies, especially after I have seen them. The only time I get a movie is when I really really loved it, and even then I feel like I am wasting my money to an extent due to the fact that I can probably just get it off of my Netflix or Blockbuster pass. I don't know, it just seems like the lengths they are going to to make sure we don't get to see everything is a bit out of hand, almost to the point of seeming like they are taunting me for the fact that I don't have the actual movie in my movie library at home.
What do you think about this? Am I over reacting or is this something that I should be mad about?
Well, that is all for tonight, I know that the last two blogs have been more of info/ranting, I promise that the next blog I write will be more upbeat and actually happy.
Until next time.

Powers Part Two
Hello again, this is going to be the second part of what might be a reacurring theme that will happen every so often. Back in mid 2011 I did Powers Part One which kind of show cased some super powers that I thought would be pretty cool to have. Well, here's part two, enjoy.
Energy Projection-There are a couple of examples of this that you can use but the one Im going to use would probably be more like Cyclops and Havok's way of doing it. The Energy projection im talking about would be able to be blasted from any part of the body and the main source of energy used as the projctile would be solar. Cyclops and Havok pull there energy from the sun's rays, think of them like a human solar panel. I like to think that the harder you concentrate the bigger and more powerful the beam would be. I guess a good example to use would be the bigger the strain the stronger the blast. Now, this is in fact my favoirte power but the biggest draw to it is the fact that you are now a glass cannon. You have all this power at your hands but something as simple as a strong hit to the head can take you out and its not like your impervious to bullets or anything. But, besides that last fact this is still my favorite power of them all.
Teleportation-Now, there are multiple forms of teleporting that are used in the Marvel U, Im going to be more relating to Nightcrawlers version. His is more of a short and fast teleporter, even at his best he was still only able to teleport like two miles at the most. This style is best suited for fighting due to you being able to hit an enemy and then teleport to there blind side again and achieve another hit. It could also be used to juggle an enemy in the air or teleport them to a distance where a large fall would either mame or kill your enemy. The only downside of this is that you really have to see where you are teleporting otherwise if you try to do it into a closed off room you might teleport into the actual geometry of a wall or some other object which would kill you technically severing your limbs or what ever part is in the wall. Kind of sucky^_^
Telekinesis-This power is definetly in my top five powers due to the fact that it works like a muscle, the more you use it and work it out the more powerful it becomes. In a sense this is almost like the ultimate power due to its many, and I mean many functions. At it's strongest you could pick up multiple cars and just fling them without having to move an actual muscle in your body. Or you can use it like a force push/pull, I mean, you could do so much it's rediculous. Look at Jean Grey, at her strongest she was a beast until the Pheonix Entity took over which technically amplified her powers to an even greater extent but Im getting off topic with that. With more use and control you could even construct a psychic barrier in order to protect your self or your party from bullets or other kinds of projectiles. Hell, you could even use it to literally crush soemone's organs inside of their body, it's such an awesome power and so viscious in the wrong or right hands.
Well, there you have it, those are the three powers for this post, I will have to think of some other powers that I enjoy to be in the part three of this series. Until then, PEACE!!!!!!!!!

Manga and Movies
So I have been reading Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood lately since I have been devoid of great manga to read other then the weekly one's I read like Naruto, One Piece and Bleach. I watched most of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood a couple of years back but I decided to start reading it since it was such a great story. I mean, most times manga with back story kind of bore me but you get a lot of interesting back story in this manga that actually helps the plot and pulls you in, making you like these characters even more then you did before. Chapters that would be boring to me in other manga's are captivating me in this one and making me want to invest more time into knowing these characters. Then you get chapters that are all action and its like, "Holy Poop!!!!!!! This is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!" That's no exaggeration, well, from me at least. Anyways, I think that I'm about half way thru and since I never actually finished the anime I'm looking forward to finishing the manga so I can see what happens at the end of the series. It should be good. At least that is what I am hoping.
So I have been watching the Hunger Games trailer more and more, I am getting more and more interested in this movie with every new trailer that they release. Although this movie is a Battle Royal clone, I am still going to go see it. I like these movies and books where it pits teens against each other in an epic battle to the death and with a one man standing kind of attitude. It kind of reminds me of The Running Man, oh my lanta that was a great movie. If you have never seen it then you need to, the only down side to the movie is the unitards that they wear but it is shadowed buy the awesome-ness of the movie. THAT'S A FACT!!!!!! Two long story's short. I am going to see The Hunger Games and the second thing is that you should read Battle Royal. It is a manga and a great one at that, the only thing I will caution you about is that it is pretty gory and has nudity in it, if you don't like any of those things then don't read it. But if you want an amazing story followed by great action and a mind fucking kind of plot then by all means find this manga and read it. Actually you can read it free at m.mangafox.com so go right now.
What is one of your favorite manga's or movies that you have either read or seen. Also is there a movie that your excited about that is coming out soon? Let me know in the comments below.
It seems that tonight's blog was more about manga than movies, oh well, later.
