Frozen (I) (2013)

Instant Disney Classic

[9/10 · 29 April 2014]

At first the trailers made it seem like it would be another disappointing Disney movie. But after watching it, it is not like that at all...not even close. It feels like the Old Disney. The "Lion King" and "Little Mermaid" Disney. Great score and songs (although they shoved like 3 songs in the first 20 min. of the movie down your throat.) It is no Lion King however. No movie will ever come close. No much to complain about. Great characters and screenplay. One problem I had was the running length. 1 hr. and 43 min. was wayyyy to short for this movie. Had it been along the lines of 2-2 1/2 than it would've been much better. Overall good job Disney, and keep it up. Hopefully this is the start of another renaissance for Disney.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011 Video Game)

Overrated much? Hell yeah

[2/10 · 25 January 2012]

This is the big deal? This is the awesome game that everyone is talking about?! I felt this game would be really good, but I mean come on. It's not all that good. Maybe it's exciting for a few days, but afterwards, all it is go around on a big map and do whatever you want. it sounds fun, but it gets quite boring. And one of the greatest games ever created, well maybe adventure games, yeah sure. Why the hell not? But all around game like, not even close!! Come on people, get your heads straight, know the difference between good and AWESOME!! This is good, not awesome. I'll give it the soundtrack, it's good, but not amazing. The game's quite a bore. Now, if you are sure you want this game, go on and buy it, knock yourselves out, but, if you're 50/50 for getting the game, don't get it. It'll be a waste of your money, or your parents money, which ever. But either way, it'll be a waste. Not worth it.

Victorious (2010–2013)

No Talent At All

[1/10 · 4 January 2012]

They have no talent, any of them. They can't act, for playing their characters, and when it comes to having to act in the show for a part. The show is full of weird people, one who is EXTREMELY DUMB, and one who seems to be an emo because of the way she acts and what she dresses in. The only reason it works is the fact that Victoria Justice is hot. That's it. Nothing else. They all try to act cool. The one one's who are cool are Andre, and Beck. That's it. Cat, Tori, Trina, and Robby are all losers just trying to act cool. Not one of the best shows on Nick. I'd have to give this show an F as of how bad it is. You can tell when it comes to the singing, it's not real. It's sad this show is on Nick. It doesn't deserve to be shown on T.V.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011 Video Game)

The best sequel you could ever get!

[10/10 · 4 December 2011]

*May contain spoilers*

You world as you knew it is gone. How far would you go to bring it back? Shepherd created a war...but only we know the truth. - Captain John Price

This is the game for COD fans! Starting hours after the killing of Shepherd, this game will have you wondering what will happen next. The graphics are updated, but they're not as good as Black Ops. But the campaign is breath taking. Sadness, and a couple chuckles are here and there. Although The Rangers don't return, you take up the role Of Frost, a part of Delta Force. Cpt. Price, Soap, and Nikolai are back along with an Ex-Spetsnaz named Yuri (with Task Force 141 being disavowed) who are all on the hunt for Makarov. The war spreads all over the world. But, after it ends, one more task must be done: Kill Makarov, who is killed by one of the most loved characters from the MW Trilogy. With the nightmare killed, the trilogy ends with a song that makes you think of all the memories from MW-MW3. Any COD fan should, say again SHOULD get this game!!

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Scariest Movie in History

[1 August 2011]

This is one movie that should not be watched alone. Have someone with you, or you will be freaked out during almost every scene. I watched this a few days before I went camping. So scary that I remembered it as I was camping and wasn't able to sleep scared that someone, or something would come and shake my tent and I'd have to run for my life and wait till sunlight to go back. Whoops! Spoiler. Even if I was to tell you everything about it. Every single detail, and everything that happens, this movie would still make your blood go cold. Your heart would still be pounding in your chest. Do not show this to your kids if they are scare able. With scenes that will make you do-do in your pants, this movie is sure to be haunting the scary movies list for a long time.

The Alamo (2004)

A film worthy of an Oscar

[31 July 2011]

When I first saw this on DVD, I thought instantly this would get an Oscar nomination, at least. The music is powerful enough to make you cry. This, I believe was Carter Burwell at his best. There are some scenes that made me cry like a baby. Especially before the battle, where the defenders are writing letters to their loved ones. Plus, the end part where it's just Crockett, and five others including Bowie (who was sick, dying in bead). The acting is great, especially Thorton's. Why critics hate this film is beyond me. With a powerful soundtrack, you can see the scenes from the movie in your head as it's playing. This, in my opinion, is the best film about The Alamo ever and there will be no more made because of how accurate this one is!
