The 12th Doctor is here!

Image
Matt Smith has officialy ended being the Doctor...he was great and funny and I'll miss him and while his last episode "The Time of the Doctor" was a little weird but many subplots were solved here (like gaining a reset of his re-generations so he can regenerate thirteen times again) and the second appearance and official first one of Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor!! He appeared very fast at the end showing the fastest and shortest regeneration ever (believe me, it was like just one second), it was intriguing to hear his first words "Kidneys, I've got new kidneys!" but it was even more mysterious and can't-wait-for-next-episode to ask Clara for help because he doesn't know how to fly the Tardis...he looks amazing and I'm looking forward to see more of him but we'll have to wait until autumn of 2014 as they will release the new season that late...so, let's wait... Here's the ending of that short regeneration, obviously, spoilers:

Sherlock's coming soon

Image
Sherlock will be back the first day of the year 2014 after two years of knowing nothing about him...to celebrate this great "return", they released today a mini-episode showing a little bit of the two main protagonist plus more of the police chief Lestrade. I have to wait until the 7th of January as it will be broadcast that date where I'm living, I really hope it's an amazing episode! Here's the mini-episode called "Many Happy Returns":

Merry Christmas!

To anyone who's reading this... I wish you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Let's wish this 2014 is the greatest year ever and the light shines stronger than ever and the darkness in the planet disappears forever and ever!

The Desolation of Smaug - Review

Image
I'm going to be honest here, I didn't like the Lord of the Rings movies that much...yes, I've watched all of them more than twice but I think it had too many fighting scenes and most of them looked too similar, the only thing I liked of them was the story and different plots of them. The it came the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey where it's a more quiet film with more adventures than killing but it was a little deception (unless the scene of riddles between Bilbo and Gollum!) and then it came the second part of The Hobbit called greatly "The Desolation of Smaug" and I have to say I really enjoyed it even more than the original Ring's Trilogy! It's true that it doesn't have that amazing story or so many secondary characters with their own stories or those high-scale action scenes with thousands of orcs but I personally like these new trilogy even more for the Tauriel has been a nice surprise as she always looks good in every scene she appears. d

Sherlock is back!

Image
After two years of waiting Sherlock is coming back from the death (literally) this January with the first episode called "The Empty Hearse" where we'll finally know how he faked his own death. The episode will air the 1st of January and then the other two will be released the 5th and the 12th, they will be called "The Sign of Three" and "His Last Vow"...I hope it has an amazing ending! I will post my review of each one of them as the last time of course.

My Opinion about Elsa and Frozen

Image
I just want to share my personal opinion, got it? Don't get me wrong, I've watched almost every Disney movie since I was a little kid and I loved most of them and still have them in my collection but their new film, Frozen, has touched me differently...I feel strongly connected with Elsa and besides that I think her "triumph" song is amazingly well done, I really wish they win an Academy Award for Best Song and even for Best Animated Film...they deserves those two at least! They just put the entire scene of the movie where Elsa sings this song, it's beautifully made from the song itself to the entire sequence and animation, the best scene of the film without doubt...here it is! Plus a little and very short scene I just found which is quite funny and cute!

Let it Go - Elsa

Image
You all know I've watched "Frozen" and I loved it, I want to share with you the song I liked most and has to win an academy award yes or yes. The song is called "Let it Go" and is sung by Elsa (played by Indina Menzel) after she shows her powers to the people and runs away from everything scared. At the end there's a clip with the song itself! The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen A kingdom of isolation And it looks like I'm the queen The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well, now they know Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don't care what they're going to say Let the storm rage on The cold never bothered me anyway It's funny how some dist

Frozen - Review

Disney's magic is back after 20 years, this film is by far (without counting the Pixar ones) the greatest one they have released, I never had so many different emotions while watching a film, it will make you laugh and cry multiple times. Mild Spoilers! - The main plot centers about Elsa, a princess going to be queen who has the power to control and create ice and snow but after an accident in which almost kills her young sister, Anna, she has to stop making magic and no one can ever see her doing that stuff. Everything goes bad for Elsa, as she has stronger powers everyday but her parents forgive her to use them and try everything to control them until all gets even worse when the king and queen die from an accident, she becomes alone with no one knowing her secret until the coronation day where she gets angry about her sister and uses her powers accidentally. She goes far away from the city unknowing she started a never ending winter. Her sister, Anna, will go to find her a

The Day of the Doctor - Review

Image
"Mild Spoilers" of the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who Special. The Doctor is back in this special that looks like a movie after the amazing ending from "The Name of the Doctor" where John Hurt was introduced as the Doctor himself...was it worth the wait? Hell, yes! First with the plot: The Time War is coming to an end as the War Doctor (John Hurt) is about to destroy Gallifrey with an artifact that simulates the body and personality of the Bad Wolf aka. Rose Tyler...there, the Doctor is not sure about what to do and how he will be remembered, so he goes to the future to meet two of his next generations. Two great Doctors together in the same movie, fun is for sure going to happen! Before that, the eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith) discovers an old painting of Gallifrey and another broken paintings where "something" has come out from them...and also finds a beautiful portray of Queen Victoria with the tenth incarnation of the Doctor (David Tennant), the

Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor

Image
This is old news, the actor from "In the Loop" will be the new Doctor after Matt Smith regenerates in this year's Christmas Special...I have to say I didn't know who was Matt before he started as the Doctor...the same with Tennant but this case is different as I know a little more of Capaldi...I don't know how he's going to play it but I'm sure he'll do it fantastic! I hope he brings his typical personality from other characters he has done! The Day of the Doctor was released yesterday and here's a screenshot of his first official appearance as the man we all love...only his eyes but enough to see he'll be great! I really have high hopes on him and I'm sure everybody will love him as we loved the other Doctors! Found these two videos, worth watching them!! I will post the review of "The Day of the Doctor" tomorrow!

Lightning Returns has come out in Japan

Image
The last episode of Lightning adventures has come out in Japan, we have to wait a little longer (February 2014!!) to get it. Some reviews have come out, those say that the combat is faster than the last two games and even more difficult...plus the ending (I haven't watch it) but they say is "mind-blowing",  "unexpected but happy" and even "stupid"...don't know what it is yet, we'll have to wait! The graphics looks like the last two games, they are not better neither worse and Lightning's design is quite better thanks to the different outfits she can wear. Let's wait until it comes out here and let's hope there's a collector's edition too! In any case, here's the amazing opening of the game, quite cool!! A shame but this will be her last game!!

Happy 50th Anniversary to Doctor Who!!

Image
Today is the day the Doctor celebrates his 50 years in the small screen, I want to congratulate every person whoever had an important role with the Doctor Who franchise especially the actors that appeared in the show and my personal favorite, David Tennant!! Tomorrow will be the big release of the special episode where, for the first time, we'll see three different doctors together, the tenth, the eleventh and the mysterious War Doctor...looks exciting!! Will post a review of it as soon as I watch it!

Burial at Sea - Episode One : Review

Image
It's not the last we hear of Bioshock Infinite...this is the first part of a bran-new story starring our old friend Booker and Miss Elizabeth. This DLC starts in the last day of year 1958 in Rapture, the amazing city underwater from the original Bioshock but there's something different, the riots when the city falls under a civil war between Atlas and Andrew Ryan so everything in the city is like the way it was before that filled with people living their routine. And then, Booker appears there having the same detective office as the main game (this is answered at the ending) but the best is when Elizabeth appears as a female fatale who is looking for a lost child. The opening and the first part of the game is very noir style. Elizabeth shines as always! The first part is very quiet and relaxing, you can explore a part of Rapture, visiting its stores and watching how Liz distracts people so you can get into private areas...the main character here is her as she is more my

The Day of the Doctor is soon

Image
I'm very excited to see how good the new special episode looks...to see David Tennant back as the Doctor, the role he was born to play, is amazing and too cool to be true! Not only that but also the interesting story about the past of the mysterious protagonist...here's the new trailer and I can't wait to watch it!

Frozen looks like Disney magic is back!

Image
I'm a Disney fan (I admit it!!) I love watching old animated films like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King and Little Mermaid...these ones are surely between my all time favorite movies! But it has been a few years from now that they haven't done anything special besides Pixar films and Tangled (it was fun but not that amazing and heart-breaking)...but after watching a little bit of new film "Frozen", I have to say it looks quite amazing and with a beautiful and kind-hearted story...here's a little scene plus trailer I found plus the poster! It's coming out the 27th November!! UPCOMING "possible" REVIEWS 2013: Frozen - The World's End - The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag - Review

Image
I'm going to be honest here, I kinda liked a bit the first time I played the last Assassin's Creed III but after playing almost 20 hours I realized how bad the game was and horrible the story was...and I never liked the main character Connor. So after that fiasco I decided not to buy the next AC Game but after reading everywhere this new entry was way better than the last one and remembers a bit to the AC II (which was my fave.) I decided to try it out...and I'm happy to have done that! You will meet tons of legendary pirates! The new main character is Edward Kenway, Connor's grandfather, and a Captain Pirate trying to survive in the Golden Age of Pirates so expect to meet legends like Blackbeard, Captain Kidd and even Bartholomew Roberts! This character is very likeable, he's ruthless and only cares about himself but also has a good sense of humor and doesn't mind to help others...let's say he's half Connor and half Ezio. The naval missions are

Thor The Dark World - Review

Image
Thor is back after the New York battle and while "The Dark World" is not as exciting as the Avengers, I can confirm this one is better than the first one in every aspect from action to comedy. This film tells the tale of a dark elf called Malekith (played greatly but former Doctor Who Christopher Eccleston) who will do anything to find the Ether, a substance he wants to use to conquer all reigns and fill them with darkness. After he wakes again, he will go to Asgard to find it and destroy the city, after that Thor will have no option but ask Loki for help. The plot is more interesting than the first film plus they show us more places from Asgard and an intense fight in the same city. The special effects are the same as always (that's not a bad thing) and the soundtrack is quite better than other films, I really enjoyed some songs. The action and fight scenes are entertaining and fun to watch plus the comedy parts are a good laugh. You won't expect what he does d
