The LEGO Movie (2014)

Before you think anything, this movie is actually good for all ages. It is marketed to little kids, but it definitely has a lot of older humor. The basic plot is about this ordinary (a little too ordinary) guy named Emmet. He apparently is fortold in an ancient proficy that he can stop Lord Business from destroying the world. Yet, he disagrees. Everyone else is trying to help him believe that he is a hero. This movie is so much fun, but I feel like it is a little too long. It is an extremely cliche movie, but it knows it is and it does it on purpose. The first few jokes are very kiddy, but then some older type jokes come in. This movie is filled with references from other movies like Terminator and Air Force One. It has a lesson in it that I thing LEGO should actually consider themselves. This movie has popular actors like Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Will Ferrel, and more.

I highly recommend this movie for people that are child at heart, or love movies. I give this a B+ do to its length and slow beginning.

What Did I Do? Sword Art Online

So, looking back on my reviews, I screwed it up on one of my reviews. Spending to much time on the plot, less time on the review. So, now that I've finished it, let's do this again.

You should already know the plot, so I'm not explaining it.

This show is great for anybody who likes to play video games or likes anime. It is not too long and not too short. It is perfect for almost all ages (recommended 12 or above) with little blood! I think they spent too much time on Kirito's character and didn't really spend much time on other people. I mean, yes we get it, he gets his outbursts of anger. Been there, done that... a lot. I would've liked to seen more episodes about Yui in the first half because you SPOILER WARNING get introduced to her in one episode and she's gone in the next SPOILER OVER. I would also like to see more about some of the backup characters like Klein and Egil. They just show up at the most convenient times ever. The second half of the show should be another series. UPCOMING PARAGRAPH IS A SPOILER, BUT HAS A SMALL OBVIOUS SPOILER SO PLEASE STILL READ IT.

The second half of the series is centered around another MMORPG called ALfhiem online. This is more magic and fantasy based. Basically, Kirito gets his little race and works his way to the "World Tree" for a certain incentive that will spoil way too much. Completely new characters and plot. Basically having about nothing to do with the first half.

This show is great for Video Game players and Anime Lovers. I give it an A- due to its time jumps and completely different second half.

I'm Back With... Angel Beats (2010)

I'm finally back to reviewing. I haven't really been watching many things worth reviewing lately. I did finish SAO though, and I still recommend it. But, now I have another show, a show that is sad, funny, and action...y. Anyway, the show is called Angel Beats (as shown in the title) and it is another anime.

The basic plot of this series is that the main character (Otonashi) wakes up in what seems to be a high school sport stadium of some sort. He basically has no idea of what is going on and has no clue of who he is. He sees a girl nearby him who is pointing a sniper rifle at another girl. She introduces herself (as Yurippe or Yuri for short) and asks if he wants to join the "Not Dead Yet Battlefront." So, basically what is going on is that this is an afterlife. If you decide to go along with the other "NPCs" you will get obliterated. When you get obliterated you get reincarnated, usually as a sea creature. So the girl that was getting aimed at is called Angel (actually SPOILER WARNING! it is Kanade SPOILER OVER!) She tries to get the battlefront to act normal and all be friends.

This show is a wonderful show, and bring a box of tissues for the last episode. Some people think that it is bad and that the character development lacks and all this stupid stuff. Yet, I find myself marathoning it... The show keeps you hooked with twists and unpredictable occurrences. I don't like the fact that some people are just introduced and HEY! You better care for this person. It is just a little random at times. It's sad how short it was though.

This show is great for anybody that likes Sci-Fi and Anime. I give it an A- due to its small randomness.

Sword Art Online (2012)

Sword Art Online is an anime from 2012 based off the manga written by Reki Kawahara. That manga is based off the light novels written by the same man who wrote the manga. The basic plot of the series is that there is a new game called Sword Art Online (SAO) that is very popular. It uses a device called the NerveGear. The NerveGear intercepts all the signals sent out from your brain and makes your avatar in the game do that movement. The conflict is that the gamemaker got rid of the log out button so everybody is stuck in the game. The only way to get out is by beating all 100 floors of the world. If the NerveGear is removed in the real world, the helmet will send microwaves to your brain, killing you instantly. If you die in the game, the same thing will happen. It is about I guy named Kirito who is a solo player who beta tested the game. It is a great TV show that will hook you by the first episode. It has an amazing theme song that will get stuck in your head. (BTW I haven't finished it yet.) There is one really sad episode near the beginning that made me cry. Especially during Christmas time.


I love everything about this TV show, except the fact that it time jumps quite a bit. So I will give this TV show an A- due to the time jumps and it is kind of hard to follow. I recommend this show to any video game lovers, anime lovers, or Sci-Fi lovers.

Die Hard (1988)

Die Hard is a classic action movie from 1988 and it stars Bruce Willis as John McClane and Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber. It is directed by John McTiernan who also directed Predator and Hunt For Red October. The basic plot of Die Hard is that there is a cop, John McClane, who goes to a Christmas party. While he is in one of the office bathrooms, he hears gunshots. This is because there are 12 terrorists that have taken over the building for money. It is a fun ride that I find myself watching over and over. There are no plot holes that I could find and it is just so cool. Alan Rickman's character has a lot of dark humor that will make you want to laugh, although you know you shouldn't. Some scenes are slower than others, but they are still so suspenseful and keep you going. You never know what is going to happen in Die Hard.

My final grade for this movie is an A+ due to the fact that I couldn't find anything wrong with it other than an annoying news reporter. I highly recommend this movie to suspense or action lovers.

North By Northwest (1959)

North By Northwest is a movie from 1959 directed by an amazing director; Alfred Hitchcock. It stars Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint. It is about a man by the name of Roger Thornhill who gets mistaken for another man. He is kidnapped by a few people and does a bunch of other stuff. It is pretty fun to watch, a very good popcorn movie. There is one part on a train that is a little slow, but it is very important to the plot. If you are a fan of movies to put on in the background, this isn't the best movie for you. It has an iconic scene when he is getting attacked by a plane and he ducks down (you'll recognize it.) It isn't the shortest movie in the world, but it isn't Lord of the Rings. It is 2 hrs and 16 mins. When it comes to the plot, normally I would say it has been played out, but, this is where the cliches came from. The ending is just ridiculous and fun, but it is rushed. The problem is resolved in about 45 seconds, but it is fun.

Overall, it is a fun ride for all ages. Sometimes it requires some focus, but I love old movies, so I liked it. I will give this movie a grade of an A- due to its rushed ending.

Review Kickoff: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 4 Premiere

Hello and welcome to the final review of my review kickoff. This doesn't mean I won't post a review tomorrow, but then again, it doesn't mean I will. Anyway, before I start this review, I am indeed a brony. You can go ahead and hate on me all you would like, but it is a good TV show and you should watch it. Now, on to the review. This is the premiere of the fourth season of the fourth generation of the My Little Pony franchise. A lot, I know. If you want to watch this episode of the show, I would recommend seeing the past few seasons, they're important. It is a fun ride through Equestria once again and all the ponies are as iconic as ever. Pinkie Pie breaks the laws of physics...again. Discord is as awesome as ever. The episode includes some cool plot twists and the more I think about it, the more I am excited for the upcoming episodes. In this episode, the two main princesses are kidnapped and Twilight is still trying to be accustom to the whole princess thing in Canterlot. The villain could have been better, it was kind of just a forest. Yet, you learn the meanings of friendship again. The writers kind of left you with an unfinished question, I really hope they know where they are going with it though. Anyway, I would recommend it to any dedicated bronies out there and anyone who wants to get sucked into a show.

So this episode was cool in all. But, it could have been a little better. So, I will give this season premiere a grade of B due to it's lack of plot development, rushed elements, and not being as good as some other season premieres (especially the Discord ones, they're SO GOOD.)
