Star Trek

Now for my final blog for this year I thought I would write about somthing that was kinda new to me as well. It was non other then the new hit movie "Star Trek". Honestly I have never been into Star Trek and have never even seen an episode untell this weekend. I found my self bored and no plans so I thought I'd take a chance and go see it. I am so glad I did. This movie ended up being one of the best movies ive seen in a movie theater i na long time. It was not all about aliens and alien technologhy. Actually it was your basic hit movie. It has you Kerk who is going through flete academy and runs into many new friends and enemy's. All while trying to live up to his fathers expectations. Not only does he break many records, but he also ends up being a suprising hero. I will not tell you how the movies ends, but you can probally guess sence this movie is apre=qual to all the Star Trek seasons shown on TV. Basically this movie is how Kerk meets Spock, and gets his ship. (while also avenges his fathers death. Overal I woudl say this is a great action/ sci fi movie. Even if you were never into the first Star Trek adventures I would give this movie a chance.

Eagle Eye

I recently saw a movie that I have not seen sence at the movie theater. It was called "Eagle Eye". This movie is not to far from what we are capable of doing today. This movie was about the government and how they can not only control what we do or believe in, but also how they can hear almost any conversation we are having. Even if our cell phones are completly turned off. This movie has some very famous actors in it. Such as Shia LaBeouf and Billy Bob Thornton. With this all star task, new technology, and fast paced action, I rank this movie a must see for all age levels. Its perfect for a family movie and will be sure to start up lots of convo with your family and friends.

The Spirit

Some people say that "The Spirit" is a cartoon, while others say it is just a rip off of the movie Sin City. Well first of all it is from the same people who made Sint City so ofcorse it will look that way. It is not a cartoon either, it is simply black and white with red. Now I know this does not appeal to many people, but I feel if you give it a chance you might like it. I have always been a fan of... lets call it old fashion talk, and this movie has plenty of it. For example..."I'm going to kill him all kinds of dead." This movie does not only include some great one liners, but it also contains alot of good old fashion shoot outs, a main actor who is always with a diffrent girl, and even an all star cast to put it all together. What is this movie about? Well I can not tell you to much without spoiling it for you. However I can tell you it is about a ONCE dead cop fighting his arch enemy and protecting his city, which comes to be and he often repeats it as his only true love. Once again this movie is no for everyone, you have to have a certain taste in movies to enjoy it. It is no Sin City, but it can hold its own.

I Love You man

This weekend I was in Fargo and I happened to come accross somthing that I have not seen in a while. An actually good movie. This movie was known as I Love You Man. This was not only a good movie beucase of its famous all star cast (which also included the HULK) but it was good becuase of its plot line which effects many of men around the world. It is about a man who is about to get married and relizes he is missing somthing huge in his life. A best friend, come to think of it he relizes he is missing friends period. So who goes on a, well man hunt. Along the way he runs into lots of funny characters. Some that are looking for more then friends. But then he meets Sydney a man who is a little different than what we are all used to. But never the less he is honest and always trys to do the right thing. Even if he needs to fight the HULK to do it. Overall this movie helps us relize we dont only need someone to be with but also someone to watch a game with or a RUSH concert with. Also that it is never to late to make a new friend.

X-MEN Origins

X-MEN is one of today’s most popular movies. X-MEN the comic book has been turned into 3 movies so far. However I am not to talk about them, I am going to talk about the new movie which is a pre-quall to the three older movies. It is called Wolverine X-MEN Origins. This movie is aired to date May 1, 2009. How ever what allot of people don’t know is that there is a boot leg copy of this online already. Many of my friends and I have watched it already. SO thanks to who ever put it online, you save me $7.75. However the odds are this person just lowed the box office total by about 2.3 million, I would guess. It spread like wild fire throughout Valley, imagine around the world. What’s this movie about do you ask? Well, it tells the story of the famous X-MEN Wolverine and how he became the man he is today. I will try not to give to much away for you, but it tells the story for allot more people also. For example, it gives us a quick glimpse of Scott Summers and his child hood. Also gives us some inside on characters such as Beast, Gambit, and it even Dead Pool, played by Ryan Reynolds. This movie does not only tell us about how wolverine comes to be, but also gives us lots of clues and hints on what is going to happen in the future and fills us in on allot of questions about X-MEN as a hole. For those of you who are huge X-MEN fans you will be glad to hear this movie reviles allot about weapon X. For those of you who don’t know about weapon X, you will just have to watch this movie on May first. Or ask around for the link online.

Las Vegas

Las Vegas is a city of dreams, hope, revenge, mobs, gangsters, and anything else you can think of. However that is why it not why I am telling you about it. I am telling you this because this city makes up the perfect stage for one of the best tv shows of all time, and its actually called, “Las Vegas”. This show sadly come a very sudden halt after 5 amazing seasons. This show is not you average tv show. It has a perfect mix of gambling, romance, action, and comedy. It is about a casino called the Montecito and its crew that worked there. It had a few main characters that ranged from the head of operations, head of securities, the casino hostess, pit boss, and head of entertainments. It goes through their lives and all the crazy stuff they go through while trying to run this casino. Almost every episode someone is either trying to steal money, cheat at cards, or the crazy “Whale’s” (rich people) have weird and crazy requests to make. One thing people may be surprised to here is the guy who plays Danny McCoy is actually from Minot ND, his name is Josh Duhamel. He is the head of security and eventually gets promoted to president of operations when Ed Deline, well let’s just say he isn’t on the show anymore. The casino goes thro many different owners and with each new owner new and sometimes more difficult tasks tend to happen. However with this all star cast they seem to always find a way around it. Sadly this tv show only lasted 5 season, there was never any clear reason to the public why it was canceled, some say it was because main characters kept leaving or getting written of the show. While others say they just could keep up with the fan base needed in today’s entertainment. This show started in 03 and ended Feb 15, 2008.

Heroes

There are many TV shows and sitcoms on TV today. A lot of them are very similar to each other, however there is one show that I strongly feel stands out from all of the others. This show is called Heroes, it is a very complicated show that is constantly throwing you curve balls and surprises. The main point about this show is that people with abilities are trying to save the world, every season there is a new disaster that they need to stop from happening.
There is not really a main character to this show, there is about 6 or 7 main characters. Each with separate abilities. Some can fly, some can heal and never die, others can read minds or make you do something, while other control fire, or in some rare cases there are people who can take the power of whoever they encounter.
Although this may seem all well and good, not everyone uses there power for good. In fact some people kill to get more power. This is why several people took it upon there selves to stop these people before they could hurt anyone. These people are knows as the company. The company teams people up in pars, one human goes with one person with powers to even the playing field. However as the season go on you will learn that the company is not the only “company” that is after these people. In season 3 even the US government gets involved in the matter, however that may not be a good thing. They wish to catpure all of the people with powers, weather they are good or bad it does not matter to them. Although there is plenty of morally grey areas. IS what the “Company” is doing right? Are they making the world a better place? Is the US government a good guy or bad? Watch Heroes every Monday night to find out, and make your own call.
