The Hobbit "An Unexpected Journey" - Review

Image
The Lord of the Rings universe is back! And in my personal opinion, looks even better! This is the story of Bilbo, a young hobbit who is afraid of adventures and loves his quiet calmed life. But then he meets a wizard, Gandalf the Grey who embarks him in an amazing adventure. " Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever ... Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unass

Still alive. This was a triumph I'm making a note here HUGE SUCCESS It's hard to overstate my satisfaction Aperture Science We do what we must because we can for the good of all of us except for the ones who are dead but there's no sense crying over every mistake you just keep on trying until you run out of cake and the science gets done and you make a neat gun for the people who are still alive I'm not even angry I'm being so sincere right now even though you broke my heart and killed me and torn into pieces and threw every piece into a fire as they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you! Now these points of data make a wonderful line and we're out of beta, we're releasing on time so I'm glad I got burned Think of all the things we learned for the people that are still alive go ahead and leave me I think I prefer to stay inside maybe you'll find someone else to help you maybe black mesa that was a joke, haha, fat chance anyway this cak

Lightning Returns Trailer Released

Image
A game set hundreds of years after the last one, the world is going to end in 13 days...some people agree with that and want to live in a new world while others want to stop this carnage. Lightning wakes up after her crystal-slee p and is ready to stop the darkness and the end of the world. This plot looks too real in my opinion and today they released the first trailer of this game...while it looks absolutely epic I think this is going to become the greatest game of 2013...if the world doesn't end tomorrow... Here's the trailer:  The gameplay looks better than the other ones, with more freedom in battles with a Kingdom Hearts like system. The exploring looks fascinating, you can jump everywhere and even sneak. Lightning's new outfit looks...weird but it fits into the game's atmosphere...but I have to admit I kinda like her new-styled sword and shield! This game is set to release on 2013, and last month Square said it was 50% completed. Light's new l

Everything is a Lie

Your whole life is a lie, it has been always manipulated by a group of creatures that you'll never believe and never see. Your opinions, your toughts, your own personality is not yours, not real, you are like this because they want you to be.  When good things happen in your life is because you have done something good for them that is actually bad for humanity and the same when something bad happens to you...is because you are too good to be controlled or manipulated...you'll never believe this words because they don't want you to think openly, to doubt life itself; those people who do that are always the ones who you'll think they're weird, crazy or liars...that's what they want you to believe... When the darkness will fall on earth, everyone will think is a bad thing...it is not because darkness is already on the planet, it has been for all these years, the darkness they are predicting for the future and the end of the world is actually a light that will

Life of Pi - Review

Image
This one is different from the other films, that's the main reason I wanted to watch it and I really enjoyed it, ait's a slowly adventure film with lots of emotions and drama, one of the best films of the year for sure! The plot is very easy: " Based on the best-selling novel by Yann Martel, is a magical adventure story centering on Pi Patel, the precocious son of a zoo keeper. Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter. After a shipwreck, Pi finds himself adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival. " The main protagonist is a young boy that believes a lot in God, so this film is very religious as Pi believes in three different religions, during this film he loses everything including his family and he tries his best to survive lost in the ocean with a bengal tiger named Richard Par

Star Trek Into Darkness

Being honest, I loved the last Star Trek film, the new cast and new adventures are amazing and I was very thrilled to know they were making more sequels! Not only that but I was even more excited when they announced the cast of the new villian, Sherlock's star Benedict Cumberbatch...not only I love Sherlock's BBC amazing series but the actor is mabye the greatest from this generation! And now after the release of the first poster...as you can see, the main villian is the first to appear officialy...looks amazing! Now there's a long wait for the 17th of May...

Assassin's Creed 3 - Review

Image
Ok, a little late but it's better now than never... This game is the new version of Assassin's Creed, the largest and biggest from the entire saga with a new character called Connor in an USA where the english people were trying to conquer all. The setting is at the American Revolution and the game sets in cities like Boston, New York and the Border where there are smaller cities like Condor. One of the good things of this game is that it's set in a historical place and date where you'll see things that happened in the real life and places that existed in that time and/or even they still exist. Everything has been improved from the last games, the graphics are way better, the missions are more interesting and even the new main character is the fastest Assassin's ever. But still, it remembers to much to the other games and it has the same routine...there's nothing new to scream... As I said, the gameplay has been improved, the main character can do anythi

Skyfall - Review

Image
James Bond is back and better than ever. With this film, Daniel Craig confirms that he's the greatest 007 ever (better than Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan!) The plot is very interesting with lots of action scenes and thrilling parts that will make your heart beat faster. Plot: " Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. " The most intense and dramatic Bond film ever made! The past of M is very important in this film as the bad guy, named Silas, comes from that era when she was working on Hong Kong; he was a secret agent like James Bond but he was abducted while on a mission and because of this and another things he blames M about what happened to him, he seeks revenge. He's a great classic Bond villian and does an excellent job! But the shinning star here is James Bond, who looks and acts very natural and you can even see som

Cave Johnson

Maybe he's a fictional character but no one can't forget him and his amazing and perfectly-well written guotes (voiced by the great actor J.K. Simons!) His philosophy of life is very real as you see how it changes while you advance in the videogame (Portal 2)...all his lines are worth to mention but these one I want to share is very special as I share the feeling of it: "When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?! DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER! Make life RUE the day it thought it could give me LEMONS! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! I'M THE MAN WHO'S GONNA BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN! WITH THE LEMONS! I'm gonna invent a combustible lemon that's gonna BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!" "Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing

Star Wars News

Image
If you've heard the news, Lucasfilm has been sold to Disney and they announced that a new trilogy is going to be made following the stories from the old saga. The first is going to be Star Wars - Episode VII and it's going to be released on 2015. These are very exciting news for huge fans as me. But I'd like to see something from the old films, like an old Han Solo married to Leia, or seeing the good friends of R2-D2 and C3PO or even a wise Jedi like Luke Skywalker! Those are weird news but I like the idea of making a new saga following the amazing story it has without George Lucas because, let's be honest here, Mr. Lucas hasn't done anything new in a long time and I personally think even himself wasn't sure about making a new Star Wars. So we'll see a new version with a new story and so we'll compare it to the amazing saga that has been. And I'm pretty sure he won't disappear like that, he may help in some way in the new films. This month I

It seems the game will be released on 2013 for sure but there's nothing new of it yet. They released today a picture made by Nomura himself (the character designer) of Lightning in the new game...here it is!

Looper - Review

Image
This is that kind of film that is made once every 10 years; a different kind of vision with a new story never told before and with a post-apocalyptic set very realistic AND also that kind of movie that will not win so much and won't be that famous as another worse sci-fi films like Avatar (which I personally hate so much). Sorry, I had to put this! The brand new poster of Die Hard 5.0!! Bruce Willis always kick ass! This film is set in the future, a future where there are two kind of people, the rich and the poor, and guess what, there are thousands of poor people living on the streets and they act like zombies, literally while the rich spend all their money in parties and drugs. This is a very believable future as, if everything continues like this, I won't be surprised if it's like its shown here.  The plot is about assassins called Loopers that only kill people that are sent 30 years from the future because in the future it's impossible to kill anyone...the p

Dishonored - Review

Image
There are lots of games, all of them are very similar but only a few ones are remarcable and instant-classic, this is one good example and maybe the Best of 2012 Game of all! Maybe the graphics don't look that bad at all!! In the game you are Corvo Attano, the main bodyguard of the Empress that is betrayed by the security director of the Empire by killing the Empress, abducting her only daugther and future empress and making you the responsible of everything. After escaping from jail thanks to some friends that know the real story and let you know who are the responsibles for this betrayal, you start a retribution against the fake goverment and the hunt to find the future empress. As you can see, the story is pretty good and the best part is the gameplay; you can do your missions in any way you want to...you can kill the objectives or not, you can punish them or not, you can even leave them alive! And the best part is that depending on what you do and how you act, the story

Two days ago it was 12th October 2012. It's a special day from me (my birthday!) but it's also an important date for some predictions that have been circulating all the time. I cannot say but these predictions came true that same date, there were some disaster and political stories that came true. Those ones were predicted by a person who also said that something very important was going to happen at the end of 2012, maybe the end or maybe a big change...who knows... I recently listened a few new music albums that have been released lately...I have to say the new music of this era sucks, I hear de 70's or the 80's and there was awesome and fun music but now...it's a real shame. But there are three new albums from my most favourite bands that deserve a mention! Here's a small review from these: MUSE - THE 2ND LAW Muse is the greatest time from this era, they make awesome songs that no one has ever done before, they have an unique style and they sound heav

Dead or Alive 5 - Review

Image
I've played all Dead or Alive games and I can asure this is the best from all. It starts two years after the ending of the fourth game and the story follows a new tournament Helena (the new Doatec president) wants to make. The story mode in this game is far different from the other games even other fighting games. Kasumi is still looking for her clone named Alpha. Christie is one of the best-looking chaarcters from the game! All characters look different as the graphics here have improved a lot and they look more realistic and hath means better. You will see all of them different in a way or another; even the english voices have imrpoved in a positive way. My favourite character from the series has been always Christie and I'm very, very happy to see how great she looks and how has become an important point in the story! The places to fight are now even more interactive, they look so real it feels like you're in there as well. You can now see the characters sweat a

Resident Evil: Retribution - Review

Image
I remember when I first brought the first Resident Evil movie on DVD and it's hard to believe than they have done five films of a story of a videogame... This films remembers a lot to the first one as they are in a underground base Umbrella used for their experiments in real-life cities. It also remembers it because the actors from the first film appear here again but in a way you don't expect... It also remembers a part to the last one (Afterlife) as you see the main character, Alice, without her powers and fightning by her own and acting in a more sensitive way. If Milla wasn't on this film, there would not be any reason to watch it... Milla Jovovich is the star of all Resident Evil films and this one is not an exception, if she wasn't on these films, I'd have no reason to watch them, it's very nice to see a good actress playing a die-hard heroine...I think she's the only one! The supporting cast is good, you'll see old faces and new faces l

Total Recall - Review

Image
I love sci-fi movies, those are my favourites and I loved, like everyone else, the original Total Recall by Arnie Schwarzenegger back in his old days...when I heard a new version was being made, my first words were "What the hell are they thinking?". We are in an era when they have no new ideas, no new projects and no imagination...all the movies that are being made are out of old films, books, videogames, etc. And that's very, VERY sad! Before I start, I'd say I give an 7.5 to the old film (an 8 before watching this new version and knowing more about the novel from it was inspired). The film has the same plot: " For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid, even though he's got a beautiful wife who he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life - real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man as he finds himself on the run from

The End

The End may not be the end as the start of something will rise, Demons will recieve their judgement as the angels will live forever, The Light of their hearts will refresh people's memories, As they are getting ready to know the real truth and the main reason to live, No one will believe it, that's for sure, But once the fire fills the skies they will want forgiveness, But they will already have their fate done, It will be too late to change, Those will be everybody, no-one will be missed, Getting ready for the end of their lives, As mine has already ended long ago, As I started a new one against all, Against humanity itself, As the horror and death of life itself is by their fault, No regrets they will not have, As I won't have once the requiem is done. @ Copyright 2012 - Johnny Lightning

Lightning Returns!

Today the Final Fantasy saga makes its 25th birthday from the first videogame they ever released...they celebrated today announcing the last part from Final Fantasy XIII! On 2010, the first game appeared and then they did the sequel two years later...but now they started making the third and last part and it will be focused only on the main character from the first game: Lightning! This is Lightning's first artwork from the game " Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII" will conclude the story of Lightning and will put her in her final battle. The game will follow Lightning's quest to save the world in thirteen days. The game takes place hundreds of years after Final Fantasy XIII-2. Players will take control of Final Fantasy XIII's main character Lightning as the only playable character. The battle system will be a heavily m odified version of the Command Synergy Battle the two previous games used and will feature real time features, such as tak

Prometheus Review

Image
"A team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race."    First of all, I loved the trailer of this film, it was very well done, giving images and no clue about the plot. For the people who asks themselves "What the heck does Prometheus mean?", that's the name of the spaceship from the film and makes reference to a greek god. This is a prequel far away from the first Alien, once you watch the ending of Prometheus there will be many questions without answer and I'm pretty sure that we'll see a second part of it. She could have had more scenes, she had a very interesting character... The plot of the film is very simple and easy for everyone's brain, the problem is that those questions I said before are never answered and it's something could have been solved if the

The Dark Knight Rises - Review

Image
There's good cinema, bad cinema and awesome cinema....for this film a new word has to be created as it surpases the other awesome films that have been this year... Resumed Plot: Despite his tarnished reputation after the events of The Dark Knight, in which he took the rap for Dent's crimes, Batman feels compelled to intervene to assist the city and its police force which is struggling to cope with Bane's plans to destroy the city. I don't think there's going to be a more realistic Batman like this one... This film takes 8 years after the events of the Dark Knight, I don't want to spoil the fun but I'm going to say the less possible: A new villian appears, a mercenary called Bane who wants to "destroy" Gotham City (like everybody) then there's Bruce Wayne who has been inside his mansion for all those years doing nothing but recovering for the wounds that had in the previous two films...A new character out of nowhere appears, the
