The Hobbit a unexpected jouney review
Well time for the second one of the three and it is as you can tell the Hobbit. So lets do this let me begin by saying I have read the hobbit book back when the original Lord of the Rings first came out so I do remember most of the story not all of it but most. So first I would like to say that in my opinon they followed the book pretty well, well they have to since it is going to be three films but I enjoyed it better than the Fellowship and The scenery for the film was so amazing I just was in awe. The movie was really great I loved the cave scene with Bilbo and Smeagel.(I don't know how to spell it) Now for the problems with the movie, the beginning of the film I felt it just dragged on it got pretty boring until they sang the song, it took to long to get to the adventure but once that happened there was nothing else wrong with it. It was great to see a certain someone in the film I didn't think they would add him untill the third movie but it was great to see him. So review time and this was easy with the exception of the beginning i give it a 8 nah a 9.5/10 you should see it if you enjoyed the original trilogy. Well see you guys later and may the second one be just as precious.
Gangster Squad Review
I know its been a while since I've done a review but today I think I've made up for it today I saw Gangster Squad, The Hobbit, and Django Unchained. So shall we begin with my first review which you can see is Gangster Squad. To begin I don't think I've seen any gangster films yet and since this is my first I really want to see more. I really enjoyed this movie the actors they got fit their role well and Emma Stone is still a dime, but thats not the point The plot kept me entertained through the entire film and the shootout scenes were well done and the fact that they took out the theatre scene the movie still continued to flow so it makes me wonder which scene they switched for the theatre scene, just the only problem I had with the movie was the way Ryan Gosling spoke it just didnt sound like him to me but it was his best film in my opinion. There were other little parts but they give away a bit of things important about the movie. So its rating time and the movie was really good i give it a 9/10 you should go see it plus you can recommend it to your parents since people in their late 40's were there and it sounded like they enjoyed it as well. Untill next time tonight were no longer cops and and remember for the Gangster Squad.

Happy Halloween and American Horror Story Season 1
So yeah it is halloween today and I thought why not review one of the scariest T.V. show's I have ever seen. That would be American Horror Story, this television show has to be one of the most weirdest shows I have seen on T.V. and thats because of the story it is so creepy and yes I'm going to have to ssay weird again but thats because thats what it is. This show has such a deep storyline that I have no idea how they were able to finish the season in 12 episodes, and on a side note when the season actually ends it finishes the storyline so your not left with this unfinished story that you have to wait until next fall to watch, but they do leave it a little open so you can think of what could happen next in the story. Other than the deep storyline there is also a lot of cliffhangers that happen in the season which I don't know about you but I feel like that always makes a show better. The characters in the show deserve some mentioning because the characters, and what they go through is just really well written that you feel for them when something bad happens to them. The acting is also great I don't think I could see the show done with any other actors than the ones they picked (and the worst part is some of the actors I never even knew about but I gained complete respect for them after this show.) they portray the charcters so well. Like Jessica Lange she plays her character that you feel sorry for her but you really do hate her and then because I am a guy I have to mention the eye candy which is the young maid played by Alexandra Breckenridge the way her character is so seductive but yet so mysterious at the same time is just amazing to me. Okay we have the deep storyline, the cliffhangers, the characters, the actors, the way the show is written, and since its Halloween a great show to watch for the occasion. Now the last reason why this show is great is the adrenaline it gives you it might just be me but as the show goes on it lets up on the horror a bit and adds more of the suspense and I think thats great in a show people might not like it but hey thats what horror movies are for the adrenaline rush and the suspense. Now I can't just say all good things because thats not a review thats just me praising the show so I'm going to have to pick out some bad attributes. Not that many but to start off there is the dialogue they talk about relevant things all the time you miss one minute and you like wait what are they even talking about, and then there is the gruesome part where they cut people and you see it and it looks real which at some points you do need it but it just woah! at other points but thats all I can say thats bad some people might be ok with that I'm not one of them but hey it might grow on me I guess. So what do I give the show to me even with the few bad things this show is stll excellent a 10/10 if you want a good thriller show definitely watch it or if you want a just good show with a storyline watch it. I just have to put it out there do not watch the show with children in the room it will scare the crap out of them and there is some content that I wouldn't recommend for them to watch. Season 2 is airing right now and the best part is you don't have to watch season 1 to watch season 2 but still watch season 1. Okay well goodbye I hope this helped you make a decision on whether or not to watch the show and remember you have to open your eyes because what you see might not be what is actually there.

Walking Dead Season 2 Review
I watched The Walking Dead season 2 and finished it a while ago but I have been busy plus its given me a couple of days to think of the season. So lets start this review shall we, my first impression going into season 2 was like how can they top season 1 because let me just say it was really well done, but season 2 starts of great too. Season 2 premiere was a two hour premiere like season 1 I was freaking out through the whole beginning and middle of the episode but as it got close to the end I was kind of thinking what the hell is this. Its a great episode but the ending was just not as strong as the rest of the episode, but the final minute of the episode makes up for it just an awesome cliffhanger. Season 2's episodes are great I don't feel like there was one bad episode maybe bad moments but not enough to ruin a great season. For the season 2 finale they had a great opening since what happens in the second last episode is crazy that of course its going to have a great finale opening, and not just that the episode keeps you at the end of your seat worried about what is going to happen next. After everything crazy happens it goes to the final cliffhanger that everyone knows is coming but the thing is I feel like it wasn't like an "oh my god!" moment maybe because I knew I could just watch the season 3 premiere the next day I don't know but either way a great finale. So its time to see what am I going to give The Walking Dead season 2 hmmmm I felt like it was a great season I can't think of anything wrong so 10/10 plus if your a Glenn fan its a great season for him. So I'll leave you with a quote from Daryl "Got bit, fever hit. World's gone to s#!t. Might as well quit." good words to live by if a zombie apocalypse does come.

Walking Dead Season 1 Finale Review and Season 1 Review
In this post I will be reviewing The Walking Dead season 1 episode 6 and the entire season 1 without giving to much away. Lets start off with the finale. What do I think of the finale..... its one of the best finales to a show I have seen in a while and I watch a bunch of shows. The whole finale plot was amazing kept you in the edge of your seat some of the parts you could see coming but still really good, and how they explain little bits and pieces of the storyline that has been happenning in the show. They give you answers to some of the questions and they give you more questions and thats what a season finale should do. I would like to go into more detail but I feel like I would give something small away, so I'll just give my rating 10/10 I have nothing wrong with the finale can't wait to start season 2. For my Walking Dead season 1 review is I watched the entire season in one day its a good show plus its only six episodes, I always say give a tv series 2 episodes if through both episodes your bored than the shows not for you, if you liked both episodes than you found yourself a show but if you liked one but hated the other than give it one last chance. With the Walking Dead you won't regret it. There was one episode where I was kind of bored but thats it, just give the show a chance it is gruesome that never changes but think about it its a show about surviving a zombie apocalypse it has to be. I give The Walking Dead season 1 a 9/10 I just wanted to know more about some of the characters but other than that its great. Thanks for reading my reviews and Remember the brain is what makes you you so when your brain dies your no longer yourself, but you still move thats why we always aim for the head.

Looper Review
I just got back from watching Looper and this is what I think of it.... its a good movie the plot was great the idea of the film like how its about Joseph Gordon-Levitttrying to kill his older self who is Bruce Willis that was cool. Also the fact that it tells you why they have Loopers and what happens to the, just in total the story, the character development, and the whole use of slow motion (which doesn't work for some movies but for this one it did). Those are the pros to the movie now the cons not that many but I still had some one would have to be "SPOILER" the story line with the kids just at some points I was sitting in the theatre going what the hell is this. Some people say it might be needed for the film I don't think so yes the plot with the kid that JGL is protecting keep that but the whole other part with Bruce Willis I just wasn't feeling it, but Bruce killing the guys running the show that is the Brruce we all love. "SPOILER DONE" Some scenes could have been taken out but I didn't make it maybe they wanted to give more information I just felt it wasn't needed. Some parts were a little confusing but still a great film. I reccomend that you go see it before it leaves theatres and the score I give it 8.5 out of 10. Don't forget that "Time travel doesn't exist but in 30 years it will."
The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 1
Just watched the first episode of the Walking Dead and my review on it is.... for a zombie show it is pretty sad. The Walking Dead it is a good show so far the beginning of the show starts by showing life before the zombie apocalypse. I don't want to go to deep into the episode but the character origins gives you enough background information to hold off for the first episode and leaves enough that you can learn more about the characters as the show goes on. The plot to the show is good enough to keep you intrigued through the entire episode and possibly the whole season. In the end its a great season premiere haven't seen episode 2 yet probably going to do that after this, I'll probabily do another review for the season finale and for season 1 as a whole. I give this episode a 8.5 out of 10 its a pretty gruesome show but I'll probabily get used to it and yeah hope you enjoyed my review of The Walking Dead episode 1 season 1. Don't let "the Walkers" bite you.
