TMNT (2012 Series) S1Ep25-26 Showdown or Booyaka-Showdown Review

***Start_Of_Log***

First of all I am a fan of the Ninja Turtles I grew up with the turtles (2003 version), and I was kinda excited when they announced the 3rd series, but then I found out that it was going to be made in CGI, and I got a little bit worried. So one day I decided to view 1st episode, and it was sure I still prefer the 2k3 series over this one but the series itself is pretty good.

Which brings me to the episode at hand, I've could have any episode they're not bad or anything they are pretty awesome actually in the end, I decided to do this one 1st because it's the best episode so far (in my opinion anyway).

So let's start the review, but before that I really recommend this episode, it's very accessible, and it explains everything so you won't feel left behind you could actually start with this one if you.

Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Predacons Rising (2013) Movie Review

***Start_Of_Log***

Transformers Prime had a pretty good ending with Deadlock, but I guess that the writers wanted to do a better ending so we've got this movie.

And with all the live action movies focusing on the humans this was pretty amazing to see.
There are no Humans in this one and paradoxically I wished there were because the humans from Prime are likeable unlike those from the live action series.  

One more thing before we go into full on spoiler mode the cover is a LIE that fight never happens in the movie.
Also, if you want to see the movie and don't want spoilers all I have to say is that it's better than the live action ones and there's a actually an good plot(s) in it.

All-New Ghost Rider 001 (2014) Review

***Start_Of_Log***

Well, since we are near Easter this week I've decided to look at this comic because hey the theme of the week is resurrection.

The original Ghost Rider was Johnny Blaze, who made a deal with the devil to save his foster father then the devil kill him because he is the devil (Mephisto).
You probably know him from that Ghost Rider movie from 2007 with Nicolas Cage I would make a joke that the movie is bad but the sequel is even worse and it makes the original better.

He lost his powers several times, but recover them almost every time.

His last appearance was in last Ghost Rider series from 2011 were he was powerless and kinda of a mentor figure to the new Ghost Rider Alejandra Jones.

Unfornaetly that series only lasted for 10 issues (if you count  the 0.1) but it had a crossover with Venom, Red Hulk,X-23 in Circle of Four Google "we smash for vengeance" you won't be disappointed.

Anyway, that series ended with Johnny is getting back the Spirit of Vengeance, but Alejandra managed to keep a part of the power because the supercharged the Spirit of Vengeance or something like that.

 Now she seeks vengeance against Blaze because she lost her powers. 

And that's the end you might think we're all caught up with the history of Ghost Rider right? Wrong.

In issue 20.NOW of the Thunderbolts (the new team formed and lead by Rulk) he joined the team in order to stop someone magic based.

Got that all of that? Good throw out the window because this series isn't about Johnny Blaze it's about this new guy.

Also, JB joined the Thunderbolts in march of 2014 and this comic was published in may and in the may issue of the Thunderbolts he is still a member so how the fuck did this guy get the powers again ?
But I'm getting ahead of myself.

Okay, enough backstory, let's look at the cover let's see we have Ghost Rider ,Ghost Rider in human form and Ghost Rider's car collect them all.

Okay the cover isn't bad, it's quite well actually it's show everything that you need to know about this comic and I freaking love his skull in his Ghost Rider form.
 

New Warriors V4 001 (2014) Review

***Start_Of_Log***

With Marvel's new titling strategy I'm surprised that this isn't called All-New Warriors, but New is already part of the title so it should be All-New New Warriors.Also, why are they called New Warriors ? Because they aren't "New" the should call themselves the Warriors.

The cover of the comic is great we have all our characters on the cover and plus in the background we can see the 2 letters of the name of the team NW combing and forming this cool new symbol maybe I'll do something similar with my name someday.
My knowledge of this team is somewhat limited.I've only read the 2005 miniseries witch went into Civil War and less I mention the New Warrios and Civil War the better and I'm currently reading volume 3 witch started with Initiative (also I'm reading the Initiative issues).Basically, they are like the Teen Titans teen heroes fighting crime.

Now let's play a game of how many characts can I recognize on the cover:let's see in 1 row we have the new Nova Sam,next to Nova on the right it's Kaine the Scarlet Spider,on Nova left there's Speedball who was Penance at one time.That's all that I know the guy with the cape looks familiar, but he's too young on the cover to be him.

Robocop (2014) 1st Impressions After Seeing It For The 1st Time

I have to admit that I went into the movie with my hopes pretty low, but after seeing it can tell you that it's not that bad, and you should go watch it.
I will try to avoid spoilers in this post, but I need to talk about something regarding the movie  so if you want to avoid spoilers don't click the Read More button.

Fairy Tales Movies of 2013 Review

***Start_Of_Log*** Well it's seems that 2013 it's at an end and lot of things happened this year but one thing comes to mind when I think of this year.That thing is Fairy Tales , like I said lots of things happened this year but I chose something different in order in order to be unique ;) .  
Now back to Fairy Tales they seem to be on the rise whether they be movies 
or TV shows
or even comics
now i know that some of the properties that I listed started before 2013 some started 2012 while others started 2005 but they lasted up to this year and that's pretty impressive now a days.

Today I'm going to look at 3 different movies(you already know witch ones) witch represent 3 different approaches to fairy tales movies adaptations.

Happy Holidays from The X Database (2013)

***Start_Of_Log***

Happy Holidays people it's been what some couples of moths since I started this blog and I want to thank you for the support and feedback.

Also I have an important announcement to make I will be taking a short vacation during the Holidays so I can enjoy them.And another vacation for my finals month which starts in January and ends in February.

I will still post reviews besides this I have another one in the works but they will be more rare.

Anyway I decided to do a list with my favorite Christmas Specials.
Please this is a list based on my opinion, and the criteria for this list was things that are Christmas related that bring me joy so sit and enjoy the list.

•  Gokaiger Christmas Episode (Ep 44)

Gokai Christmas yeah just Gokai Christmas it's so silly that's fun I have nothing more to say.


 As much as I like this episode I think that older Toku fans will enjoy it more because of the references to a certain team.

• South Park Christmas Specials

The South Park Christmas Specials are excellent and I couldn't chose 1 for this list so I put them all.

Although I do have one favorite among the specials ->

• Batman Noel (2011)

It's basically A Christmas Carol with Batman and his friends/enemies.
Yes it has some problems but it's a fun read it's not like the re-imaging from Doctor Who but it's pretty fun the symbolism is still there and speaking of Doctor Who...

• Doctor Who Christmas Special 

The Doctor Who specials are sometimes fun other times re-imaging of Christmas Classics and on rare occasions they are serious adventures featuring important events from the Doctor's life like regeneration.

Think about it for a minute we got to know 10th in a Christmas Special he also regenerated in a Christmas Special.
I for one I'm very excited about this year's special they talked a lot about Trenzalore in season 7 and there's also the hole 12 regeneration limit oh I can't wait for it. 

• Home Alone (1990)

Yeah it's silly yeah it's dated but when I think of Christmas I think of this movie for some reason maybe because I watched it at a young age and I found it hilarious.

This movie still makes me laugh it's a little less than when I was a kid but that's because I realize how brutal the traps are , god it's kinda painful looking at the robbers getting hurt I think that they are immortal or something.

But nevertheless every time I watch it I get the Christmas spirit yeah beside the funny/horror trap the movie has a strong emotional arc with Kevin and his mom.

I also recommend the second it the same as the 1st one but it's still enjoyable the 3rd it's all about the traps and the convoluted plot and none of the Christmas spirit.The 4th one it's bad no I haven't seen it completely I saw some clips and I heard that it got some bad reviews the 5th one or The Holiday Heist or Home Alone Alone in the Dark it's basically Home Alone done in modern times and it's also bad.

That's all folks Happy Holidays.

Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special The Day Of The Doctor (2013) 1st Thoughts

***Start_Of_Log***

This isn't a review it's just talking about the special and pointing out some special moments and recomanding some other things.
1st of all I have to say that this episode was very well received on IMDB.

So let's begin and I'll try  not to spoil the special.

Man Of Steel (2013) Review

***Start_Of_Log***

 It looks like there's open season on Man of Steel and I'm joining the fun.Screen Junkies's Honest Trailers made fun of this movie Nostalgia Critic promised a review of this in his Dawn of the Commercials video.I've seen their work it's awesome but they didn't point out some things so I have to step up and point them.This movie was major problems so some things will sound similar if they do excuse me but there's nothing I can do. Also the series Renegade Cut addressed the hole Superman as  Jesus topic (he is also on thatguywiththeglasses.com).

Justice League Rant

***Start_Of_Log*** Originally this was supposed to be after my Man of Steel Review but I decided but make a post about it because I go a bit off the rails with the subject. Also I was sick all week so I couldn't write the review.

So let's see Green Lantern bombed ,the Batman in movie won't be the same one from The Dark Knight Trilogy(Batman Begins,The Dark Knight,The Dark Knight Rises),Man of Steel isn't a faithful representation of character and Wonder Woman's pilot sucked.

So God or Gods helps us all with the Justice League.Don't let this be another failure yes another someone else tried to make a JLA movie and fail so that's not a good sing.

Now what members do I want to see on the movie well here's a hint

Yes they should just adapt the 1st episode of cartoon Secret Origins it's pretty awesome.
Now if they want to change the members that's fine but Superman ,Batman and Wonder Woman are mandatory.
I would say that Green Arrow from Arrow should be on the movie but then it will be too similar with Avengers you know Green Arrow / Hawkeye.

 The only live action representation of a comic character that I kinda like (it sucked in the beginning then it got better) is Green Arrow from the Arrow tv show.

BTW what's with the hiding of the names in Dc movie and tv shows ?
The name of the show should be Green Arrow not Arrow actually they don't even call him that in the show they call him the Hood.

They did the same thing on Smallville with the Blur.I kinda forgive Man of Steel's name because it's been asoocieted with the character and there was a comic called Superman The Man of Steel (and I have to like something in the movie) so there some relation with Superman but the Blur has nothing to do with Superman.Also you gave Smallville 10 fucking season wasting 10 years and you throw it out the window with the reboot well done.
Stop hiding their names god damn it , it's bad marketing it's like hiding your product.

 Also the Wonder Woman from the pilot was darker than Batman and The Hood is darker than Batman come guys Batman is dark and awesome not you guys.
No wonder that they are going to make Batman the founder of the team, he used to be dark but compared with these guys he seems pretty tame.

If DC want to do the same things that Marvel did with the Avengers they shouldn't use Batman as they guy who brings them together , the team should form naturally over the course of the movie and they should have like mini team-up during the movie and in the final act the team comes together and beats the bad guy.
Also I think that DC should do another show witch leads into the Justice League.

Yeah I'm still sick :( sorry for the short post next week I'm doing Man of Steel I promise.

The Future Diary / Mirai Nikki (2011-2013) Anime Review

***Start_Of_Log***

Here a review that I didn't thought I do: Future Diary or Mirai Nikki.
I found out about this series by total accident by seeing this image on facebook.

 So I thought to myself:"so she is like Lucy from Elfen Lied wow she must be brutal" and also thought they kinda look similar as well so i looked the anime up and found the Wikipedia page and I was intrigued about the concept (witch i 'll explain in a moment) then i found the English dub of it done by Funimation so i gave it a watch and now I'm here making this review.

The concept Future Diary is exactly what is sounds like a diary that can predict the future the name of the show is translated perfectly into English mirai =future and nikki =diary.
I have the English dubbed version with some glimpses on the subbed version i will mostly talk about the dubbed version with some mentions of the sub.
Some lines from original were changed for better or for worst you decide but I have enjoyed the dubbed version.
And BTW the dub version of the show is more pervy than the sub version this blows my mind usually the sub or the original version is balls to the walls while the dub wimps out like a little pussy.  

Ultraman Ginga Ep01 Review

***Start_Of_Log***

Ultraman Ginga Ep01 Town of Falling Stars Review

Ultraman Ginga is 50th anniversary of the Ultraman franchise and Tsuburaya Productions decided to take the Gokaiger and Decade with this show you can deice for yourself if that is good or not but for me this is a good idea because they can use old suits without bringing their  human actors if they don't wanna come or worse but Ultraman isn't like Sentai and Kamen Rider humans don't become Ultraman an Ultraman turns into a human or uses him as a host when needed (at least i think that it works like this ,I've seen this in the Zero movies).

Now the big question is how to turn into old heroes

Cards?

keys ? other ?

No, action figures as the base of the power and a device that turns the hero into a superhero.
Because you know toys sales will go thru the roof (I've had to steal this joke).
Now the only problem that I have with these figures is that they are too big for real life they are okay but for the story perspective they are too big the kid won't be able to carry to many of them.What if he needs a specific toy in order to win the battle.
They would have been better if they did something in the style of Marvel Battle Dice come on you remember these. 

They are small and easy to carry.
Now let's get back to the episode at hand.

The Tomorrow People US S01EP01 Pilot Review

***Start_Of_Log***

Okay I am just going to say this series is like the X-Men but I think that his surprises nobody considering that the original series came in the wake of X-Men.Back a bit and let explain doing some research (by this i mean Wikipedia ) i found out that the 1st X-Men was launched in 1963 and The Tomorrow People tv show was 1st launched in 1973 so it obviously came in the wake of X-Men.

I am surprised that Fox didn't sue this show like it did with Mutant X yeah Fox cuz you did such a great job with the X-Men Franchise, I heard that they are going to a Days of Future Past movie can't wait to see how you screw that up Fox.
And we're off to a good start okay what was I talking about oh yeah Tomorrow People better start talking about or we'll be here till tomorrow.

So let's see how this 3rd incarnation of the show oh yeah there was also a series from 1992 man this was present every time superheroes got popular.
