August Rush

(3 out of 5) This was the perfect family film. Although it was kinda boring at times, it was still pretty good.(In fact it was so boring at times I turned it off and continued the movie the next day.) It’s about this kid named Evan Taylor, who all his life he has been on his own. He has the ability to find the music in everything. He’s like a musical genius.He runs away from the Boys School and goes to New York, hoping to play music so that his parents would know he was there and come find him. Along the way he runs into the Wizard,(Robin William)who wants to use his talent for profit. I  thought this movie was okay. I recommend you rent it if there is nothing else good to rent.

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D

This looks like a pretty good movie. I might go and see it.

Uncharted:Drake’s Fortune (PS3)

(4.5 out of 5)This is a must-play for all PS3 guys. The plot was so detailed and complex it was just like National Treasure and a mix with Indiana Jones. The graphics(cutscenes and gameplay) were just like a movie. The game was also hilarious. The main character is so funny he’s one of my favorite game people. The shooting details are awesome.The story goes when Nathan Drake uncovers the coffin of Sir Francis Drake, which has his diary inside. The diary gives the location and clues leading to the greatest treasure ever, El Dorado. Together with his friend Sully and a news reporter named Elina, he goes out to find this treasure. Little does he know every scumbag in the world is also out to get it. Along the way, Drake uncovers dark secrets. This is one of my favorite games and is definitely in the top ten.

The Hero Chronicles Volume 2:War Part 1

Max walked around the castle, admiring the great architecture of the stone. His arm had healed miraculously in only three days. He walked into a huge room where a knight, clad in armor from head to foot came up to him.

“I guess you’re feeling better eh Max?”the knight asked.

” Well good enough to walk I guess Sully.”Max replied.

Sully was the knight that found Max on the side of the road with the hurt arm. He had visited Max while he was in bed and they had been good friends ever since. Sully, slapped Max playfully on the back, which caused Max to stumble forward a bit, due to the fact Sully was ten times bigger than him. He was the strongest in the castle and the biggest, but despite that, he was a big softy.

“Have you talked any to your girl?”Sully grinned.Of course Max had told Sully about Amy.

“A little.”Max replied, his cheeks turning red.Sully laughed and slapped Max on the back again.

Suddenly, a bell rang out. This caused Sully’s happy face turn into a frown. He rushed to a nearby table and got his sword and shield. Other knights were racing out of the room, and Sully followed them. Max ran after Sully.He caught up to Sully and asked,”What’s going on.”

“You need to get to the back of the castle.We’re under attack.”Sully replied.

“Under attack!By who!?”Max said.

“By the neighboring castle, King Derk wants this part of the land. He says it rightfully belongs to him.Bunch of crock. We’ve been fighting his armies for about a year. The idiot never gives up.”Sully answered.

“Let me help. I can fight.”Max said.

“Are you sure?You might get hurt, or worse.”Sully asked.

“Yes.”Max replied.

“Then follow me to the Armory.”Sully said, and lead Max down an empty corridor. At the end of the hall was a wooden door. Sully opened it and they went inside.

Inside was a whole stock of weapons and armor. Swords, spears, shields, and other weapons were propped on the wall. Chain mail, steel greaves, and other material was scattered everywhere.

Hastily, Sully got Max into a full armor suit, and gave him a sword and a shield. They heard the bell again and they raced out of the room and joined the horde of knights going in the direction of the bell. All the knights in the castle were positioned on top of the wall overlooking the gates to enter the castle. Sully and Max took their positions on the wall as well.

Max couldn’t believe his eyes. King Derk’s army was vast and endless. Max couldn’t even spot a piece of grass. It looked like the very ground was moving.A man, wearing golden armor and a blue cape, was leading the army on a black stallion.

“That’s King Derk himself.”Sully whispered to Max, “I’m surprised that coward’s here. He usually sits on his high and mighty throne and sends his army after us.”

The knights next to Sully and Max parted and a man, dressed in green armor with a white cape, came forth. He stood there and withdrew a huge sword from his side.He addressed King Derk, saying,”Give it up Derk. I wish not any blood be spilled today.”

“That’s King Derk!”the man on horseback yelled.

“You are no king. A true king would not let his men die for a stupid cause. A peasant can be a better king than you!”the man spat back.

“That’s our king.King Tristan.He’s a good king. Fair and just.And kind too. A better king than that slimeball Derk.”Sully whispered again.

“I give you this last chance Derk. Leave now, or suffer the consequences.”King Tristan warned. King Derk drew his sword and charged at the gates. His army followed behind him.

“I warned him.Archers!”King Tristan yelled and pointed at the invading army.

As if on cue, invisible archers rained down arrows upon the army, bodies fell to the ground like flies. King Derk, just in time, raised his shield and was able to deflect the arrows.Derk shouted a command at his army and huge catapults were brought up to the front of the army. At his command the catapults launched huge blocks of stone at the castle walls. The walls were stronger than they looked. Only a bits and pieces fell to the ground. King Derk’s army brought up ladders to the walls and started climbing over them. Knights drew their swords and sparred with the enemy. Max and Sully stood back-to-back fighting with King Derk’s goons. No matter how many King Derk’s men fell, two more took their place.

Max stabbed one through the heart and raced to the ledge of the wall. He started pushing the ladders away from the walls. The ladders fell back upon the startled army, crushing them. Max gazed down at the invading army and stopped in his tracks. Dozens of men were carrying a huge battering ram and bringing it toward the gates. The men carrying the huge ram were  completely covered in metal, so they could get shot down with arrows.King Tristan saw them and ordered his archers once again to shoot them down. The arrows whizzed by King Tristan and towards the men. The arrows didn’t hit flesh though, they were just deflected by the metal. The men made their way to the gates and started pounding on the gates with the ram. It only took a couple of hits and the gates flew open. The army poured into the castle.

“Oh crap. Not good.”Max said to himself.

The Hero Chronicles Volume 2:The Earth Gods

Gorgon awoke in a small room. His head was killing him and he examined himself and noticed there were no marks on him.Didn’t he get stabbed by that Erik guy?He looked around the room and saw a huge mirror that covered up the whole wall. He had seen plenty of cop movies and knew that was a one-way mirror. Someone was watching him. The room was plain. The walls and the floor were white, even the bed and sheets were too. He got up off the bed and went over to the mirror. He noticed that some kind of eye wear was over his eyes, he tried to take it off but he couldn’t. Gorgon banged on the mirror in frustration and yelled,”Who are you!?What do you want!?Get this thing off my eyes!”

A man suddenly can out of a white door( invisible  because everything else in the room was white.) He had a gun in his hands and Gorgon immediately went silent. The man was about Gorgon’s age, with a shaved head and was wearing a weird robe with a symbol on it. The symbol showed the planet Earth, only with a golden crown on it.

“Who are you and what do you want?”Gorgon asked.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt you.”the man replied.

“That’s not too convincing, since you have a gun pointed at me.”Gorgon snapped.

“For my protection. Please sit down Gorgon.”the man said, and reluctantly, Gorgon sat on the bed.

“I bet you’re wondering how you’re still alive. Alive and unharmed?”the man asked.

“Just tell me.”Gorgon snarled.

“Well, I saved you. I have the ability to bring back the dead to the living.When the physic and flying man left, I went to your body and dragged you here, where I brought you back to life.I have been tracking you for weeks.”the man replied.

“Why?”Gorgon asked.

“Because we want you to join us. Join the Earth Gods!”the man said, swelling up with pride.

“The Earth Gods?What the heck is that?”Gorgon said, thinking this guy was a total moron.

“The Earth Gods are chosen ones. We are gods that were sent from heaven to rule over all the normal people. We heroes, all of us, are graced with these powers and it is our right to rule this Earth.”the man answered.

“And people call me crazy.They should listen to your ramblings.”Gorgon said.

“You will warm up to the idea in time. When the time comes, the Earth Gods shall rule this world. You should join us. Since you have powers.”the man said.

“Could you at least that this thing off my eyes.It’s itchy.”Gorgon asked.

“No can do. You might turn us to stone.”the man answered.

“In a heartbeat.”Gorgon growled.

“By the way, my name is Nathaniel.”the man said, and held out his hand. Gorgon just looked at him till eventually he left the room.

Gorgon curled up in the bed and drifted off to sleep. He would get rid of this Earth Gods group. They sounded just like his father.

The Hero Chronicles Volume 2:Not Right

Erik and Jacob sat in Erik’s apartment, drinking some soda and watching the news. They were watching the news mainly because they wanted to see if Gorgon’s murder appeared showed up. As soon as Gorgon crumpled to the ground, they had no time to lose. Erik and Jacob had raced away from the scene. It would kinda be hard to explain a dead body with a flagpole through his stomache. It had been three days and nothing had been said about Gorgon. There was no rumors going around, it was like nothing had happened.

“What’s the deal? Surely someone would think it is suspicious that a dead man has a flagpole through his gut?”Jacob said.

“Do you think we should check up on his body?”Erik asked.

“Might as well. Something doesn’t seem quite right about this.”Jacob answered.

“I’ll go and get a cab.”Erik said, and rose from his seat.

“Why? Let’s just take the airway.”Jacob said, and before Erik had time to say what Jacob grabbed him and they flew out of a open window in his apartment.

They soared through the sky. Cars and people looked like tiny ants from Erik’s and Jacob’s point of view. In a matter of mintues they could see the TV station. They landed a couple blocks from it and walked towards it.It was strange already. There were no police lines or police for that matter. They walked past the gates and into the little parking lot in front of the TV station. Everything looked normal. There were no chalk outline where Gorgon’s body should have been. Nothing.

“What’s going on here?”Erik asked, looking around.

“Let’s go tell Robert about this.”Jacob asked and grabbed Erik again and flew off.

“Would it be too much to ask if you warned me before grabbing me and flying off!”Erik yelled.

They soon arrived at the hospital and went into Robert’s room. No one was in it. The bed sheets were scattered upon the floor, all of Robert’s things were gone, and the window was open.

“Great, first Gorgon and now Robert is gone.”Erik groaned.

Dan in Real Life

( 3 out of 5)This movie was okay. To me, it would be a kind of movie you would rent if I am Legend was sold out. Half the movie was a dreadful bore and the other half was romance. It had some laugh-out-loud scenes in the movie, I’ll give it that. It just wasn’t my kind of movie.

The plot of the story is about a guy named Dan, who takes his kids up to Rhode Island for a family reunion. Along the way, he runs into a beautiful woman named Marie. Only one problem, Marie is his brother’s girlfriend. The whole time Dan and Marie are trying to hide what happened between them, but it’s harder when your in love.I’m not saying it was bad, it just took all my willpower to concentrate on just watching it. Not one of Steve Carrel’s best movies. Still good though. I recommend you watch it, if I am Legend or anything else is rented out.

The Hero Chronicles Volume 2-Into the Past

“Are you alright citizen?What is your name?”the man in the suit of armor asked.

Max passed out before he could even answer the man in armor. The man, inspecting Max’s arm, said to himself,”It ain’t broken, merely sprained.Better get ya back to the castle. The nurses there will heal you.”

He hoisted Max into his long,strong arms, and gently placed him on his steed. The horse whined as the combined weight of Max and his master bared down on it’s back. The knight veered the horse around and began racing down the road, back toward the castle.

Max slowly woke up on a bed. His arm was bandaged up and it hurt him to move it. Using one hand, he was able to sit up in the bed. He looked around to find himself in some kind of clinic, although it didn’t look like any clinic he had ever seen. Other sick patients were in the beds around. At the other end of the room, a set of doors opened and a young lady walked in.

She was around Max’s age and was very beautiful. She had long brown hair with the eyes to match.Her smile lit up the room and it melted Max’s heart. The woman walked up beside his bed.

“Nice to see you are up Mr.Grendel.”the woman said.

“How do you know my name?”Max asked.

“We searched your pockets and found this strange thing.”the lady replied, and handed him his wallet.

“It had strange money and a weird piece of paper in it saying who you are.What is that thing anyway?”the lady asked.

Max thought it was strange that she didn’t know what a driver’s license was or american money. Suddenly, he got a terrible thought. He looked around the clinic and noticed there wasn’t any computers, devices, or anything of that matter in the room.In fact it looked something out of a history book.

“What year is it?” Max asked, ignoring the woman’s question.

“862.Why?” The lady asked, looking at him suspiciously.

“Uhm…no reason.”Max answered.

“You must have something wrong with your head.”the lady grinned, which caused Max to blush big time.

“Well, it looks like you know my name so what’s yours?”Max said.

“Amy.I’m the nurse here at the castle.”the woman replied.

“Amy. That’s a beautiful name.”Max said.Amy blushed and moved off to tend to the other patients.

Max thought to himself,”I got to get back to the present!”He glanced over at Amy, who was also gazing at him. As soon as their eyes met they turned their heads.Max smiled to himself and said,”Well, what’s the rush?I can stay for a little longer.”

Robert yawned with exhaustion. He had been reading the cards he had received today in the hospital. Balloons, flowers, and cards littered his room.He grabbed a fork, tyed a string around it, and started throwing the fork at the balloons. Then he would pulled the fork back to him.

“There’s a good use for those balloons. For my entertainment.”Robert said to himself.He looked around the room at all the flowers and groaned to himself.”What does a man want with flowers? I don’t want sissy flowers. I want chicks! Give me some chicks then I’ll be happy. Somebody needs to burn these flowers!”

Suddenly, Robert noticed a particular card on the table beside him and his blood went cold.On the front of the card was a symbol. It showed a man and a dragon forming a circle. In the middle of the circle was another man, only part of his face was a dragon while the other was human. Terror sunk into Robert and he reached for the card. There was no writing inside of it,only a smear of blood.He dropped the card and started trembling violently. They had found him,and they were coming for him.
