A Movie Review on THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

The story revolves around a magical quest to find the perfect being to protect mankind from the dark forces of evil. It took the film back into the 700 AD settings wherein Merlin (James A. Stephens) is a great sorcerer of his time. He selflessly shared his skills and craft with his apprentices Balthazar Blank (Nicholas Cage), Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina) and Veronica (Monica Bellucci).
But with greed and envy, Horvath has decided to betray his friends and joined forces with Morgana (Alice Krige), who happens to be Merlin’s closest rival. Once Horvath had the Book of Spells, he disappeared and left Veronica delaing with Morgana. Baltazar managed to lock Morgana in a Grimhold using a nesting doll as her prison.

Merlin passed on the knowledge on how Morgana can be defeated. He was told that a metal dragon worn by his successor would have the power to slay Morgana for good. After a hundred years, Baltazar found Dave, a young boy who has formed a metal circle around his finger that is suggestive that he is the one.
Unfortunately, Horvath appeared out of nowhere and seized Dave. In order to save him, Baltazar decided to lock the other sorcerer with him in an urn. After 10 years, Dave is already an excellent chemist student and popular for his school inventions. Their paths crossed once again and Dave agreed to be an apprentice for Baltazar. But conflicts arise as the lead actor starts to find ways to get close to his school mate Becky. He was caught in between working as an apprentice and finding time for love.
The Book of Spells was able to revive Morgana back into life. With Hovarth helping her they started to put their evil plans into motion. Dave with his intelligence has managed to come up with a great plan to stop the evil sorcerers. He used satellite dishes to disrupt Hovarth and Morgana’s communication. In the end, Dave has able to prove that he was the Prime Merlian even without the power of the ring.
The movie was very much appealing for almost everyone. It’s wholesome that even kids would be able to appreciate it especially that magic crafts are involved. It is a known fact that children are very much drawn into magic and spells. If you want a movie that would bring you to a magical world of fantasy, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” would surely suffice.

Brave Gunslinger Costumes are Perfect for Men!

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

Finding a good gunslinger Halloween costume is not as hard as it used to be; and this makes it harder than ever. Confusing? Let me explain. It used to be difficult to find a good Halloween costume – you either had to rummage through second-hand or consignment shops, order it weeks in advance in a catalog, journey to the overcrowded and understocked costume shop or worse: make it yourself.

But now, with seasonal Halloween shops opening up before Halloween all over town, and the limitless number of stores online selling thousands of Halloween costumes, finding great men’s Halloween costumes have never been easier – or harder. The reason it is hard to find great men’s gunslinger Halloween costumes is that, in the past, finding the great men’s Halloween costumes meant precisely putting in the work.

Now that anyone can put in the work, since there’s little to no work at all, you can really find it hard to find the great gunslinger costume that will set you apart at your Halloween costume party this year. Luckily, here are some ideas or methods to finding truly good men’s Halloween costumes.

I think when men’s Halloween costumes demonstrate a great sense of humor, I find that it is a more interesting, fun and unique costume – and certainly stands out from all the tramps out there. Go with a goofy or silly costume and have one of the best costumes at your party.

Does this mean you have to go as something ugly? No, of course not (although ugly plus scary equals a really great costume too). What I suggest is something that seems to work for men: humor. Why this is so good is that it demonstrates that you do not take yourself so seriously and that you have a mind of your own; all by just doing something silly – so brave gunslinger costumes are certainly one way to go.

Matrix Costumes are So Cool

Monday, September 19th, 2011

It’s a certain power that all little superheroes and their fancy dress costumes should embrace. I watched my little superhero do so and it worked every time. And now that we’re adults, my favorite ladies costume is a Trinity costume from the Matrix movies. Trinity had it all – bravery, loyalty and great beauty too!

Matrix costumes are so cool – they are fairly simple but the whole idea about the Matrix just makes them have an air of cool. On Halloween, you can be whomever you want to be – Neo, Morpheus, Seraph, etc. Kids go trick or treating, dressed to the nines, and come home with an admirable stash of treats.

However, Halloween isn’t just for kids. Plenty of adults go in for the spooky event. Adult Halloweeners might be frowned on if they go trick or treating … taking candy from kids? Halloween party gatherings are better suited to adults. If you’re thinking of hosting a Halloween party, my favorite group Halloween costume ideas is to wear any of the multiple Matrix costumes to help liven things up.

Star Wars Toys

Monday, September 12th, 2011

I have always loved toys and action figures. Star Wars toys, however, have always been some of my favorites. When I was a kid, I had the whole set of Star Wars Legos. I had the Star Wars millennium falcon Lego set, x-wing fighter, several Imperial fighters, and even a land speeder. Even today I collect Star Wars Legos. Imagine how excited I was to see the Santa Yoda in the 2011 Lego Advent Calendar!

My very favorite Star Wars toy when I was growing up was the light saber sword. A Star Wars light saber is basically a hollow plastic tube with a handle at the bottom. What makes it different from other toy swords, however, is the fact that there is a battery powered flashlight in the handle. This flashlight makes the whole sword glow whenever you push the button, and even makes laser sounds in some models. Of all of the Star Wars toys that I had, the light sabers got me into the most trouble. I would always get into sword fights with my brother and sisters. Although we would have a whole lot of fun at first, eventually someone would get hurt and go crying to mom and dad. Then we would all have our Star Wars toys taken away, and be sent off to our rooms.

When the Star Wars prequels came out, I initially avoided them like the plague. I had grown up with the Star Wars trilogy, you see, and to kids of my generation it was almost sacred. Playing with Star Wars toys was one of our favorite games growing up, and the special effects and spectacular puppets and costumes in the original movie always captivated us. I did not think that I would want to even play with Star Wars toys anymore if the movie was not well done.

Well, the movies were terrible. They did not do justice to the original version of Star Wars at all. The acting was bad, the story was horribly written, and the entire thing depended almost entirely on special effects. It made me lose respect for George Lucas, but it did not ruin Star Wars toys for me. Even though the director went over to the dark side, the original stories still hold a lot of their appeal. I can still sit down and look at my Star Wars toys and feel the same sense of wonder that I had as a child. Even some of the new Star Wars toys are pretty cool, even though the movies were lousy.

Mad Hatter Costume For Girls

Wednesday, September 7th, 2011

Halloween is just around the corner, can you believe it? And all the decorating, food and fun that goes along with it, including finding just the right costume for your kids.

Mad hatter costume for girls is one of the most popular costumes right now, what with the adorably wonderful Johnny Depp playing the crazy mad hatter. He made it cool to dress up again and be whoever you want to be.

Alice in wonderland was kinda popular before Depp’s movie came out, but never as popular as it is now and the queen of hearts costume is very cool too.

Mad hatter costumes for girls is a great idea for Halloween, especially if your daughter is a tween ’cause its kinda edgy and cool without being too adult. Happy Halloween!

Online Speed Dating

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Online speed dating: what’s the point?

Online Dating is one of the most popular of social engagements and seems never to go out of date. The boy-meets-girl scenario is repeated over and over again, without anyone tiring of the activity. However, this doesn’t mean that for some social dating as most of us understand it, can’t become…, well, dated. For the socially innovative types, speed dating is one of the newer dating formats.

As the name implies, speed dating doesn’t waste any time on the too time-consuming formalities. A quick assessment of the dating candidate, with speedy, to-the-point interviewing techniques is all it take to determine their date-worthiness. Some speed dating clubs set a maximum of ten or fifteen minutes during which the candidates are allowed to interview each other. If they like each other, they can set up for a longer date later on.

Eventually, the face-to-face speed dating format evolved into its cyberspace version, online speed dating, which quickly became a hit with teens. Now, you may well wonder, what’s the point in a date you can’t see or put a voice to, only reading text messages? The short answer is that online speed dating is a game of sorts. Whether the participants use oblique or direct questioning techniques, the idea is to get your speed date to reveal his or her true personality and intent, with as little time invested as possible.

Other tell tale clues that help in the online speed dating game include the moniker
they sign with and the agility with which the candidates uses acronyms. Preferred
monikers are imaginative, with original quotes pertaining to their view of life.
For example, pithy statements like, “What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger”
accompanied by an illustration of a dragon breathing fire, may find favor with the
daring soul looking for an adventurous online speed dating partner. As for agility
with acronyms, if the date doesn’t know more than IMG and ROFLOL, they may be a phony,
or worse, a predator.

So, do these people ever actually meet in real life encounters? Not likely. So, back
to where we began: what’s the point? Unlike real life, participants in this game of
chance and mixed intent aren’t very concerned with the niceties – they want to solve
the mystery of their cyberspace date – just cut to the chase, so to speak. While
somewhat cynical and perhaps lacking manners, it all in fun.

Online speed dating has plenty of followers. Looks like this phenomena will be around
for awhile – at least until something more exciting comes along to tickle the fancy of
the dating public.

New LG Blu-ray Players For 2010

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

LG’s new Blu-ray line-up for 2010 caters to all budget levels, from the entry model BD550 to their flagship BD590. The BD550 features a sleek crystal-edge design, smooth 1080p 24/60hz high-def video and high resolution 192khz surround sound for an immersive home entertainment experience. The BD590 has new features compared to last year’s highly successful BD390. A small change is that for the new LG players, the latest software for streaming from Netflix will be included.

The new LG BD590 Blu-ray player is also the first Blu-ray player to feature an integrated 250GB hard drive, allowing for easy storage and instant playback of music, photos, personal videos and movies from Vudu. Incorporating LG’s NetCast Entertainment Access, the LG BD590 offers convenient access to a virtually endless array of entertainment content options with a large variety of content options. While the lack of 3D capabilities may make the LG BD 590 seem lacking compared to other flagship players, it is likely that the BD590 will actually be a more useful product since 3D players will require additional and massive cost outlays in a new 3D TV and 3D discs.
