Doctor Who is back! Deep Breath - Review

Image
Rated "S" for Spoilers....Read at your own Risk! After eight months of waiting, the eight season starts now with a new face. Many people loved Matt Smith's Doctor and it was hard to say him good-bye but there was a high excitement of the new Doctor's casting. Peter Capaldi (a long time fan of the series and an Academy Awards winner) was announced last year, we saw him in "The Day of the Doctor" for a couple of seconds showing his fiery eyes. After the events of "The Time of the Doctor", a dinosaur suddenly appears outside the Houses of Parliament. As they observe, the dinosaur spits out the TARDIS onto the banks of the Thames. They are surprised when the newly-regenerated Doctor emerges, closely followed by a confused Clara Oswald. The Doctor deliriously begins speaking to the dinosaur, and struggles to remember who the people around him are before collapsing. Their friends take him and Clara back to their residence to help him recover. The D

Guardians of the Galaxy - Review

RATED "S" FOR SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! I remember I said "WTF" when the first trailer from this movie came out, but in a good way, it looked impressive yet funny at the same time. I actually was a little worried it was going to be so different it would be bad but thank God I was wrong. I was expecting to watch an amazing movie and that's what I got! The plot is amazing with lots of small ones and different characters, let's read what it is about... In 1988, following his mother's death, a young Peter Quill is abducted from Earth by the Ravagers, a group of space pirates led by Yondu Udonta. Twenty-six years later on the planet Morag, Quill steals an orb only to be intercepted by Korath, a subordinate to the fanatical Kree, Ronan. Although Quill escapes with the orb, Yondu discovers his theft and issues a bounty for his capture while Ronan sends the assassin Gamora after the orb. You will always remember his name...because he won't sto

Transformers: Age of Extinction - Review

After the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons that leveled Chicago, humanity thinks that all alien robots are a threat. So Harold Attinger, a CIA agent, establishes a unit whose sole purpose is to hunt down all of them. But it turns out that they are aided by another alien robot who is searching for Optimus Prime. Cade Yeager, a "robotics expert", buys an old truck and upon examining it, he thinks it's a Transformer. When he powers it up, he discovers it's Optimus Prime. Later, men from the unit show up looking for Optimus. He helps Yeager and his daughter Tessa escape but are pursued by the hunter. They escape and Yeager learns from technology he took from the men that a technology magnate and defense contractor named Joshua Joyce is part of what's going on, so they go to find out what's going on. The last Transformers film was going to be the end of that franchise but, after winning so much money with it they couldn't let it go just like that.

RIP Robin Williams

A great man has passed away...he was very talented and had an excellent sense of comedy. A legend who can't be replaced and no one can do a better job as he has done...with his spontaneous personality, he has cheered me up hundreds of times. I will never forget his movies that made me laugh and cry. From the cheerful and funny Genie from Aladdin to his inspirational job in Death Poets Society. As well as his other movies like Mrs Doubtfire, Flubber, Jumanji, Night at the Museum, Good Will Hunting, Bicentennial Man, Hook, Good Morning Vietnam...not only his filmography but his always funny stand ups...I remember watching him during the night while I was depressed and he actually made me feel better. He wasn't just a legend but a master of comedy. He was one of the few people who I ever wanted to meet in person, but at least we have his legacy where he will live forever, i will always remember you, rest in peace my good friend...
