The Dark Knight

Description:
When Batman, Gordon and Harvey Dent launch an assault on the mob, they let the clown out of the box, the Joker, bent on turning Gotham on itself and bringing any heroes down to his level.
                                                       
Took two days to watch this, since we had to get off the computer and go to bed (didn't even make it half-way). Most of the time I was thinking of the CollegeHumor version of Batman (interrogating the Joker and at the end with Two-face), which made watching it all the more enjoyable. They changed the actress that played Rachel, at first I was thinking she aged much faster than the other actors...and then it hit me, it's a different, more depressed looking actress. Joker can't get his story straight about his scars. I like the unscripted scenes a lot...I don't think any actor anytime soon will be able to top what Heath Ledger did as the Joker.
***In the Italian version of Batman, Jack Nicholson's voice was dubbed by actor Giancarlo Giannini. In this movie, Heath Ledger was voiced by Giannini's son Adriano Giannini, with the result that Italian audience felt a connection between the two Jokers since the voices are very similar. ***

Happy Birthday

Today is Maya's Birthday. He is turning 34 this year~
Sadly, I still could not work up the courage to send any fan mail again this year...third year in a row T^T I guess I will also skip on sending on Aiji's birthday too, since I feel that I should do so equally...I know it probably won't mean anything to them if they get presents from fans or not. Yes, I feel greatly ashamed of myself right now, since I bought matching key chains for them with 13, since that is the current year, I graduated this year, and it make no sense after this year...-pout-

Batman Begins

Description:
After training with his mentor, Batman begins his war on crime to free the crime-ridden Gotham City from corruption that the Scarecrow and the League of Shadows have cast upon it.
                                                       
Finally getting around to watching the trilogy. I thought that the whole bats traumatizing Bruce happened after the death of his parents, yet makes more sense later on in the movie on why they decided to put it before. I liked how it actually went into the training he went through, and how he got everything started. Nice set up for the next movie...Most of the time I was thinking of the CollegeHumor version of Batman (when Batman pulls the one "officer" up, Scarecrow, and when Rachel finds out about his identity ), which made watching it all the more enjoyable.
***My favorite parts were: when Alfred complains about Bruce not being able to push the "log" off of himself after doing so many push-ups everyday...Mr.Fox burns Earle, with the same burn as before...***

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Iron Man 3

Description:
When Tony Stark's world is torn apart by a formidable terrorist called the Mandarin, he starts an odyssey of rebuilding and retribution.
                                                      
Awesome movie, classic narcissistic Tony Stark. Guessing that Colonel Rhodes never returned the suit in the last movie. I feel like I will be missing the little reactor in his chest, I personally thought it was awesome; but Crazy brought up the point that now it is no longer a weak point that people can use, then I brought up the scene in Avengers where Loki tries to control him and can't due to the "weakness"...but I guess that constantly doing the whole chest prosthesis could be expensive, and that they would want to cut some expenses. Not sure how it will all progress now with Pepper's powers, and that it sort of left on the note that the power is unstable with no permanent fix as of then.

Dreams of LM.C

I was shopping in a random store in a mall, that had all types of clothes and wigs; yet noboy else was there at all, not even cashiers. Suddenly the next thing I know is that I am shopping with Maya, like he was there the entire time, and that he is helping me pick out a t-shirt. We are walking around for a bit, then he goes off to buy some Chupa Chups for no apparent reason, and I am just like 'okay, whatever'...Sometime later, after wondering around for a bit, I find Aiji. So we are just sort of hanging out, and walking around, when he decides to bring me to the roof...On the roof we talk about stuff that I don't remember (somehow understanding each other). Then Maya gets on the roof, starts randomly talking to Aiji, interrupting our conversation. Suddenly he leaves mad, and Aiji goes after him... After some time just standing on the roof alone, I wake up.

Iron Man 2

Description:
Tony Stark has declared himself Iron Man and installed world peace... or so he thinks. He soon realizes that not only is there a mad man out to kill him with his own technology, but there's something more: he is dying.
                                                            
Watched part of it on the D.C. trip, started in the middle and roommates were loud so couldn't even finish watching it. Now watching it entirely, it makes so much more flippy sense. Interesting idea that he has for Y.O.L.O...and honestly what kind of expo lasts an entire year?!?!?! I really started to feel like this is the Clamp universe, due to everyone making random appearances throughout the recent Marvel movies.

PokoPang

Description:
Monsters have invaded the Animals' village! Join pink bunny BONI and his family and friends in eliminating the puzzle Blocks and beating the Monsters!
[What kind of game is it?]

You can also call for Helping Animals and work together with them!
If you're looking for something innovative, simple and addictive, then PokoPang is the perfect game for you! Let's PokoPang!

I installed it for the free stickers to use on Line. Once as you complete a mission, you are sent to a bonus stage, where you can than try to do a lucky spin to than multiply your winnings. I think the animals could be cuter (I feel like the above description in the second to last sentence is a lie,but it could just not be my cup of tea),  great game to play, and very fast paced game play...

The Mummy Lives

Description:
A mummy returns from the dead and becomes obsessed with a woman which he thinks is the reincarnation of his dead lover
                                                       
Second time watching this movie, makes slightly more sense this time, though I still zoned-out at the very beginning due to the monotone voice that says things that don't really have any relevance to the movie as far as I can tell. Eventually I plan to get around to reading the original thing by Edgar Allan Poe. So much back and forth, and after a little it gets hard to differentiate when she is dreaming and isn't, though I guess it gets the point across on how she feels. I need to get myself a wig similar to what he puts on her, since it stays on so well...I mean to go through all of that crazy weather, and I had to fix my wig a few times a day and the Cons.

@.@

So many events going on...Rage of Bahamut is having Holy Wars IV:Mayhem, which my order is just testing the waters with due to the addition of Castle Crushers and that many orders are converting to be CC orientated, but I want to be able to do both equally T.T...Deity Wars is doing a questing event called Chrono Chronicle, I don't even have an order yet (though it has been days, since I tried to join and they take their sweet time deciding.....), I just like the pretty card at the end, and it helps me enhance my cards faster as I have more space for more cute cards (yes, cute cards are my motto for all for all the tcg/ccg games I play)...and Akayashi Ghost Guild is doing a questing event also, Sleepwalker's Flight, which is relatively easy...just is time consuming, helps me enhance my cards faster, and I will finally have an event card that is my realm.
Which event do I  pay more attention to/ignore, I need more time to watch anime....

Kirara and the White Wolf

Description:
Kirara hunts Kagari the White Wolf, who is believed to have killed villagers, travelers, and her older brother.
                                                     
A cute one-shot...Due to its one-shot nature there is not much detail about the characters, which is personally one of my favorite things while reading. I found it annoying when she meets him, and it just doesn't clink that he is not normal; since just about, if not all, of the mangas I have read, if a character has red eyes it is not flippy normal.

Downloaded this one shortly after Rage of Bahamut, since I liked it so well. I left the game for some time, due to school, family, and other things...for some time I just wanted to get rid of all my cards on Deity Wars and trade them for cards/hp on R.o.B., I still want to...just not as much though...it's a lot like Rage in the money hungry and event aspect, but it has a slightly better market, where you can search for a card in the conditions (or what they wish to sell), which I would love to see in Rage, materials to help make the cards even stronger, Full moon cards the help evolve cards (I use them to evolve cards that can't get anymore of such as referral, or event cards), and the fact that you don't really have a realm, which is great since I no longer have to worry about a cute card not being in my realm and having to get rid of it , like Rage. Over all it's a really awesome game, I just feel a bit empty while I play it,since I talked Princess and Crazy into playing Rage which takes up a lot of time, so...

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

Description:
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate them.
                                                        
Sure it was a good movie, in terms plot and all, but I felt that the movie was for the most part dull. I mean Princess and I decided to stop and bake cookies...that was how bored we were -.-. I feel like the portrayal was so-so. Also that the names could have been changed, since the portrayal of those two in terms of personality (historically speaking) was way off at times, which confused use at times going "Why would/should he care/listen?"...Wow, Henry seems to have a knack for finding homicidal, drunk males. I couldn't read the book, since it was too dull; which turns me away from some "awesome" books.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Description:
A look at Wolverine's early life, in particular his time with the government squad Weapon and the impact it will have on his later years.
                                                              
During the commercials at the beginning I realized that I have yet to watch 'X-Men 3: The Last Stand', oh well next movie to hunt down. It was funny I almost forgot we had this movie, since it was still put away (yes...still)...along with other movies. I wonder if they plan on making other origin stories...I had forgotten a lot from the first time I watched it, that or I was not paying much attention the first time. Sadly, the movie still leaves some questions unanswered, then again I guess that is one way to try and get people to read the comics...something that I have given up on with popular characters, since there are too many different versions *cough cough* Batman. Just one small question...how is he (for a lack of a better word) "immortal"?

Alice in Wonderland

Description:
19-year-old Alice returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.
                                                                    
I wonder whatever did happen to her father. Much more action than I expected based on the original movie. Alice seems a bit off through out the movie....because she has lost her "much-ness" (as the Hatter puts it); which is her lack of imagination and defining what is possible. I wonder what the second movie will be like: will she remember, or forget...Crazy says that the next movie will be about Alice's and the Hatter's relationship together (hence why I went back to watch the movie again). I still need to look into which characters are which pieces though....

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Description:
Jack Sparrow and Barbossa embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard and his daughter are after it too.
                                                                        
I was starting to think that I would be consistently annoyed with Elizabeth in every flippy 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies, and that I was missing the basic element that seems to haunt everything that I like...killing off a character that was just introduced. Barbossa confused me greatly, I felt betrayed at first, and at the end I felt that all was right once more with the world. Jack's hair was different and I have yet to figure out why it was different for this movie. The mermaids have completely destroyed my  happy image of mermaids and Disney. I felt like the movie was so-so; it was good yet not that good...

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

Description:
Captain Barbossa, Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann must sail off the edge of the map, navigate treachery and betrayal, and make their final alliances for one last decisive battle.
                                                                 
As the movies go on I find myself disliking Elizabeth Swann more and more...Why? That is quite simple, she doesn't seem to have to much going on upstairs, and seems to gain things through family, misunderstandings, and shear luck (in that order basically too). The movie was awesome and action packed...then again it's from Disney and about pirates. I realized, whilst watching this one, that even though it's from Disney...the movie has many dying and hidden intentions.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Description:
Jack Sparrow races to recover the heart of Davy Jones to avoid enslaving his soul to Jones' service, as other friends and foes seek the heart for their own agenda as well.
                                                                     
I really begin to question if Elizabeth really does think past what gets her what she wants fastest...and another character to add to my despised character list (and no I don't even tempt to rank them). Lots of action again, if not more than the first movie.

Rage of Bahamut

Description:
Highly addictive, FREE trading card game that lets you battle REAL players.
Fast & easy battles on the go with stunning and alluring characters
Daily updates to continue to expand your deck
Live single and multiplayer action from a seemingly endless database of battle hungry foes
Dark is the day, gone is the wonder…

Not sure why I have taken so long to post anything about this app. This was the third game app that I downloaded, when I first got my new phone, and second one that is still on my phone. It has its pros and cons, but I find that as long as I ignore most of the cons, I like the game more. The company has gotten more money hungry from when I first started playing the game, so more events more often (which is very annoying); sometimes I want to stop playing, since they have made it so hard to rank high, but I want to be able to say that my order is a high ranking order without spending much if any money at all on the game, and the fact that I would feel like I would be betraying my order if I just ditched the game. It has some really pretty, okay, and ugly cards....I am in the god realm, so most of the cards are pretty. :)

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

Summary:
Blacksmith Will Turner teams up with eccentric pirate "Captain" Jack Sparrow to save his love, the governor's daughter, from Jack's former pirate allies, who are now undead.
                                                    
Entertaining to watch. Both Will and Elizabeth seem to rush into things without fully thinking everything through. I liked the monkey a lot, it was amusing to find out the monkey's name, especially in that manner.
