What's next for 2015...

Image
2014 has been a "good year", check my previous post, but I'm quite sure 2015 will be a lot better, and that's just about upcoming releases. here's what I'm waiting for this next year: :: Videogames :: The Order:1886 - Final Fantasy Type-0 - The Witched 3:Wild Hunt - Batman: Arkham Knight - Final Fantasy XV - Uncharted 4 - Kingdom Hearts III - The Legend of Zelda for Wii U Some delays from this year are going to be released in 2015, awesome games I cannot wait to play like Arkham Knight, Final Fantasy XV and Legend of Zelda! Final Fantasy XV will be an open world game with lots of huge cities and surroundings were you will be able to explore every little bit of it! Arkham Knight, set after the events of Arkham City after the death of Joker, a new enemy appears in the city and an old one re-appears trying to rule the city! Another open-world game but the first Zelda game to do so, this looks like it will be the best game of 2015!! :: Mo

The Hobbit and The Battle of the Five Armies - Review

Image
The end of The Hobbit Trilogy is here, it may haven't been as good as the Lord of the Rings but it still has been a great adventure to follow... RATED "S" FOR SPOILERS - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK... The film starts just a few seconds after the ending when the dragon Smaug destroys Laketown. Bard breaks out of his prison cell and kills Smaug with the black arrow, and the dragon's falling corpse crushes and kills the fleeing Governor of Laketown. The survivors choose Bard as their new leader, who then decides the Laketown people should head for the ruins of Dale for refuge. Kíli confesses his love for Tauriel, and he and the other Dwarves journey to reunite with their company at the Lonely Mountain while Tauriel travels to investigate Mount Gundabad with Legolas. Meanwhile, Galadriel arrives at Dol Guldur, frees Gandalf and lifts the fortress' spell of concealment. The Ringwraiths then reveal themselves and converge on Galadriel and the wounded Gandalf. Elrond a

Big Hero 6 - Review

Image
After the huge success from Frozen last year, Disney really wants to keep that note high but it clearly misses giving us another "Wreck-It Ralph" missing the magic and feeling Frozen had last year. SUPER-SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! Hiro Hamada is a 14-year-old robotics genius who lives in the futuristic city of San Fransokyo and spends his time participating in back-alley robot fights. His older brother Tadashi, worried that Hiro is wasting his potential, takes him to the robotics lab at his university, where Hiro meets Tadashi's friends, GoGo, Wasabi, Honey Lemon, and Fred as well as Baymax, a personal healthcare robot Tadashi created. Amazed, Hiro decides to apply to the school. He presents his project—microbots, swarms of tiny robots that can link together in any arrangement imaginable—at an annual exhibition to gain admission. Professor Callaghan, head of the program, is impressed, and Hiro gets in. When a fire breaks out at the university, Tadashi rushes in

Guardians of the Galaxy Out Now!

Image
I just got one of my favourite movies of the year on Blu-ray; "Guardians of the Galaxy" has been a tremendous surprise to me and, if you haven't watch it, I recommend you to do it right now! Anyway, I just wanted to share with you these two funny videos about the Guardians, one of them is from the great SreenJunkies and their infamous "Honest Trailers". The other one is "How it should have ended"... both very funny and enjoyable! I'm really waiting to see how the second part is gonna be!

Assassin's Creed Unity - Review

Image
I'm a fan of Assassin's Creed Saga (I've played all games since the first one came out). But they have been lowering down the quality of their last games that I even didn't care about ending them. I remember playing the first Assassin's game and finishing it, while it was a little repetive, it had a great story. Then the second part came out, the start of Ezio's trilogy, a great game with different missions and a good plot making you play it until the very end. I loved Assassin's Creed II, I finished 100% and I even used to play it again to see if I missed something. Then Brotherhood and Revelations came out; they weren't as good as the II but still enjoyable, I finished them both but without going to far with the extra missions and stuff. Then the third part came out with a new character and a new setting; Connor in the american revolutionary war. I even preordered the game before it came out but it ended up being a total disappointment, the gamepl

Interstellar - Review

Image
In a not so distant future, an ex-engineer from NASA who has a normal life as a farmer with his two children and his father but something is happening, a sandstorm is razing all over the world causing extreme changes in climate and wiping out the food. The man joins a group of explorers to travel through a wormhole that appeared mysteriously in the middle of space to find another planet in a new and unexplored galaxy. The man has to ask himself if to leave behind his family or save human race.  After finding some unstable planets where no one could live, he takes a turn to the mission by wanting to go back to his home planet and see his children (now adults) again. I prefer not to spoil anything from this movie because it has too many twists and surprises. The plot is very interesting as you can expect but there are some questions never answered, maybe the writers forgot about answering them but the movie would have been a perfect 10 if that was corrected.  It is hard to talk about

There has been an awakening - Star Wars Episode VII Trailer

Image
It has been an exciting day for all Star Wars fans. After a long, long time in a galaxy far, far away, we get a glimpse on the upcoming film, a very short teaser with a coulpe of scenes that shows us a little bit what to expect in the new movie. We can see a few new faces (but none from the old ones we are dying to see) including a lady riding a newer version of speed-bike, played by Daisy Ridley (who looks a lot like a new version of Princess Leia), a stormtrooper in the middle of a dessert that looks a lot like Tatooine, some X- Wing pilots flying very close by a lake and the second most interesting scene of all, a Sith Lord in the woods showing us a new kind of lightsaber that totally looks like a mix between the one we all  love and an old sword. Then the most exciting scene shows up, an intense fight in the sky with the infamous Millenium Falcon. Star Wars: The Force Awakens, while the title made a little of mixed opinions, the trailer has done exactly the same. Some people

The Park is Open - Jurassic World

Image
It has been 20 years since the original film was released. I remember going to the cinema and loving every second of it. Now, after two disappointing sequels, a new one has been made and I have to say it looks quite good, at least better than the sequels. Yes, the film looks like it will be full CGI (no animatronics like in the original one) but sure looks interesting, something I always wondered, how would it be if the park was open to the public? Now we get the answer. Too bad for the so many CGI but I cannot lie, I felt quite nostalgic while watching this trailer specially the last part when you can listen a slow piano version of the infamous Jurassic Park main theme...made me feel like a little kid once again! Now about the casting, while I'm totally okay with Chris Pratt as the main actor (he did an excellent work in Guardians of the Galaxy) I hope we see some cameos from the original cast...I know it hasn't been confirmed but I'm still waiting for a small surprise

Dumb and Dumber To - Review

Image
After a long wait of 20 years and thinking this movie was never going to be made. The sequel of the original Dumb and Dumber and one of the funniest comedies ever made joining, once again, the great Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. I really never expected they were going to shoot this film; Jeff Daniels didn't have a problem to make it but Jim Carrey wasn't so sure as he never likes to do sequels but, after a huge paycheck, it seems like he changed his mind. Set twenty years after the events from the first film, Lloyd Christmas (Carrey) has been in a mental hospital for this entire time only but to make a joke to his friend Harry Dunne (Daniels) who has a medical disease and finds out he has a daughter. After seeing her pictore, Lloyd falls in love deeply with her and convinces his dummy friend to travel across country to find her. As you can see, the plot is very deep and confusing but we don't care about the story of the film but the change to see these two men t

Doctor Who - Series 8 Review

Image
Series 8 has ended with a bang! I was a huge fan of David Tennant and I tought nobody could be better than him as the Doctor but I was wrong. Peter Capaldi has exceed my expectations becoming the best and my personal favourite Doctor ever! Maybe some of the episodes weren't that exciting but with him in each one of them is enough reason to watch them!  I already did a review from the first episodes but I'll paste them here so it's the full series... here we go! Episode 1 : Deep Breath  The first one, Capaldi's debut, while the plot is nothing that we haven't seen (Ok, maybe the dinosaur bit is new), it is still a great episode and the acting from the new Doctor is just speechless...you can read the entire review at this link: Deep Breath - Review 8.6 / 10 Episode 2 : Into the Dalek The Doctor is called to a space station where they fix and cure different kind of aliens but this time they've got something unusual...a Dalek!
