So every year around this time I spend a few hours on Movie Web looking at movies and their synopsis to decide which ones I want to watch during the year. It is now that time for the movies of 2008. So here are the movies I plan to see in the new year.
One Missed Call - January 4th
Obviously this one has already been released but sadly I haven’t seen it yet. I love a good scary file as long as it doesn’t get too gory and it makes me think. Hopefully I’ll catch it soon.
Eye - February 1st
Again this movie is already out but it looks very interesting. Again hopefully not too gory but if I hear it isn’t I hope to make it to the theater to see this one soon.
Fool’s Gold - February 8th
This movie wasn’t on my original list, but after seeing previews for it I think it looks pretty good. Having Matthew McConaughey in it is only a plus in my book. If it comes to the cheap theater we’ll go see it.
Vantage Point - February 22nd
Another movie not on my original list. I still don’t know too much about the plot behind it but from the previews I think I might like this one. Even if its only a rental.
Dr.Seuss – Horton Hears a Who - March 14th
So I’m not normally one to see a cartoon especially after what happened with The Bee Movie and a theater full of screaming children (not my favorite thing). This one looks really cute. And I figure we can borrow my sister so this time maybe we’ll fit in to the crowd a little more.
The Ruins -April 4th
I’m not really sure I want to see this movie but I heard how good the book was for a whole week in Puerto Rico so I’ll read the book first and if I enjoy it we’ll go to see the movie. I’ll need to borrow it from someone first (hint hint)
The Happening - May 13th
There still isn’t too much information out about The Happening but from the cover art I kind of thought it looked good. Yes, it’s true I do judge a movie by the posters. It seems it will be another movie about the end of the world and how people deal with it. There have been quite a few end of the world movies made recently maybe it’s a sign….
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - May 16th
At first this movie wasn’t going to make my cut but I figure if I have some free time we’ll see it. The first one wasn’t as horrible as I expected so maybe this one won’t be either.
To Be continued...

Michigan Renaissance Restival
So we went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival way back in October but since I’ve had 100 over things to update and freak out about I hadn’t gotten to this one until now. But here it is my review of the Michigan Renaissance. It’s a small hike to Holly, Mi so we woke up early to miss the crowds. Apparently the crowds had the same idea and we ended up all arriving together.
While crowded the fair was still fun. We didn’t take the dog because I wasn’t sure how he’d do with all the people and other animals, but I actually think it would have been a good learning experience for him to be in the atmosphere. Plus if he had been there I could have bought him more fair goodies since I would have known his sizes. The one item I regret not buying was the dragon wings being sold by many vendors. They were bendable and flexi in cute colors. They weren’t your typical fairy wings they were very trendy. I wanted to get the dog some so he could truly be a bat dog but I wasn’t sure on his size. And a pair for me would have looked amazing with the horns I selected that day. I would have had the best Halloween costume. I will defiantly pick some up next year.
I also got my previously mentioned horns at the fair this year. I had purchased a pair many years ago at my first fair but during a move misplaced them. I couldn’t find a replacement pair anywhere which is why we went back this year. At first we searched all over and I couldn’t find anything like I wanted. Everyone was selling oddly shaped ones with bright colors. I wanted a natural more realistic pair like my original ones. Just as I was about to give up Matt spotted them at one of the shops. They were just what I wanted and cheaper than all those other imitation horns.
While there we also purchased the most delicious kettle corn. Not that typical microwave crap the real deal from a tent popper. It’s the best stuff ever, in my opinion better than Boy Scout popcorn, but shhh, don’t tell Matt I said that. We might go back next year just for the corn and bring an extra bag home with us.
As always the acts were very funny. We were only able to catch two. One the Zucchini Brothers were great – enormously funny. The two work really well together and put on a great act which is good for them because as they explain, they have no other marketable skills.
We were also lucky enough to see the Birds of Prey demonstration. It was very interesting to see the birds and their different hunting techniques. To have the birds fly over your head, perch in a tree and then come when called was exciting. Almost as exciting as when they completely ignored their trainer and did whatever they wanted.
We went during the Shamrock and Shenanigans weekend which was the only disappointment. I was so excited to see some cultural festivities but besides the bag pipes; which Matt loved, there wasn’t much going that I’d call Shamrockie. Over all the day was fun and should you get the chance to visit a festival near you make sure and go.

The Bucket List - Movie Review
We Saw The Bucket List last weekend. I’ve got to say it was good but not really as good as I had hoped. I tend to cry and trivial things, such as the commercials about adopted dogs on TV or even happy events in movies. Yet, for some reason I didn’t shed a tear during this film and for some reason I was really looking forward to a good cry. And that’s not to say it wasn’t sad it just didn’t hit me like I expected. Maybe it was because I went into the movie knowing it was going to be about death, hence the title Bucket List. On the other hand I did bawl my eyes out at Bridge to Terabithia and I knew how that was going to end.
The movie was good though probably one we’ll add to our collection one day. Although Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are getting up there in years. Even so they’re still great actors and had great on screen charisma. Sometimes its hard for me to watch Jack especially in serious scenes because I just always picture him looking through the door yelling “Here’s Johnny”. I think it’s probably a problem many of us suffer from.
And even though the movie is about death and the list of things to do before dying there are some hilarious moments throughout the film. Seeing the two men’s friendship evolve in life and death over their crazy adventures makes you think about your own friends and life in a different way.
If you’ve got nothing else to do see this movie, otherwise just rent it.
“Here's something to remember when you're older Thomas - never pass up a bathroom, never waste a hard-on, and never trust a fart.”

National Treasure: Book of Secrets - Movie Review
I actually ended up watching National Treasure: Book of Secrets almost two weeks ago but hey I’ve been busy. So I’ll try to write this review with as few spoilers as possible, but depending on your definition of spoiler I can’t make any promises…. So Beware!
I really liked National Treasure: Book of Secrets. As you know I’m not a big fan of Nicholas Cage but I think he is spectacular in both National Treasures. I really enjoyed all the American history found in the first National Treasure while they darted around the East Coast, but I also enjoyed Ben and Riley darting around Europe just as much in this one. I also like they brought the movie back for the finale in American but not somewhere they had been in another movie.
As with every movie there are good things and there are bad, so of course I did have a couple of things that stuck out to me. As always the movie and facts presented are quite fabricated; which I find sad. Such as the Olmecs weren’t in the United States and you can’t easily pick up a brick of solid gold and shove it in a backpack. Didn’t the movie Zorro teach movie makers anything?
And with all the extra locations it didn’t seem as if there were as many clues in this movie. It just took longer to find and solve each clue since they were darting between continents.
Yet, as a movie fan I can look past all those things there was only one piece of the script that bothered me and still is. After finding the City of Gold no one even makes an estimate of how much the find will be worth or how much they decided to take from it. If you recall in the first National Treasure Ben does agree to let Riley make the decision on the percentage they get to keep on their next find. Plus with his looming tax debt I’ll go out on a limb and say it would be significantly more than 1%.
But as always the treasure protectors break laws, steal precious artifacts, and sneak into secure locations. Of course all of these high crimes are forgiven once they can produce the cash.
In the end if you haven’t yet you should make sure to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
“What is it about treasure that makes history so fascinating?”

Journeyman - Is it the end?
So I’ve been down with a cold for the last few days which is why I’d like to say I haven’t updated but basically it’s just because I’m lazy. That and we got a Wii for Christmas.
But I do have an update tonight; sadly it’s a bad one. I recently found out that one of my favorite shows Journeyman has been canceled. Well not technically canceled yet but hasn’t been picked up for a second season. The rumor on the street is if the writers strike continues it stands a chance of being brought back. This leaves me torn, I don’t want the writers to be without work, but I really want my show back.
It saddens me that once again the networks have taken off a great show in order to continue to play reality tv crap. How many more of these shows can we take before viewers lose all sense of reason? Journeyman was a show with depth, great plot line,
actors that connected on screen, and a fresh idea. And let's not forget thankfully it wasn't another reality show. Yet, with all these qualities NBC has decided that once again another show they placed in the Monday night 10 pm time slot wasn't worthy of a second season. How many times will networks make decisions that kill wonderfully thought provoking programs while shoving another prime time reality disaster down our throats?
In fact after canceling Journeyman it seems all NBC has left is more reality shows that I think most Americans can agree we've seen enough of. I find it sad that a large network like NBC would continue to air shows like; Jay Leno's Garage, Clash of the Choirs, Americas Got Talent, and Last Comic Standing over quality programming.
You might say I’m going too far but I blame decisions like this for the moral decay of society. What happened to quality programming? It saddens me to see our youth learning their principles from shows like Family Guy, the Apprentice, and My Name is Earl. Journeyman was my ray of hope that good television was making a come back, but a lass it seems once again I gave too much credit. This is the last show I will get hooked on only to see it tossed in the trash after one season. I rarely watch new shows because I’m scared of this exact thing happening. I get hooked on a show and then some over paid executive cancels it so they have more air time for American Idol or Survivor.
Through my angry searches for more information about this incident I did run a cross another blogger who shares my same outlook about NBC and Journeyman. You can read his comments on the matter at Paul Levinson’s Blog
What really bothers me about all of this is the fact I didn’t even know I was watching the last episode until after it was done. NBC did so little advertising for the show and never once mentioned it was done. That’s just low in my opinion.
I’m sorry to say NBC has lost a loyal viewer, I can no longer continue to watch sub par programming. The only hope I have besides the writers strike is that another network will use some common sense and pick up Journeyman next season.
I wrote a letter containing many of these thoughts and emailed them to a few people over at NBC. I’m hoping to get some snail mail out this week regarding the issue. If you would like to send NBC your thoughts and support on Journeyman feel free to use and spread these contacts to friends. Maybe if enough of us make our feelings known we can bring Journeyman back for another season.

My thoughts on the Piñata
You know what I got to thinking about today?
Piñatas.
Why your probably asking – well let me tell you why my dear friends.
In our society we hear all the time how our children are being warped by all the violence in video games and television. And I tend to agree at least with the statement that things have gotten more violent, whether or not “Call of Duty” or “Grand Theft Auto” are to blame, I don’t know.
But I do know our entertainment has always been a little violent. I mean look at Tom & Jerry or even Popeye. Hell even the Care Bears had that wicked stare. Most of the shows youths watch revolve around the good guys beating up on some villain they’ve decided is deserving for their wrath.
But the Piñata is my favorite. It’s been around for centuries and is a whimsical game played at celebrations, but what is the Piñata really? Take away the cultural aspects and a Piñata becomes a paper Mache figure decorated in bright happy colors in which you take a bat or stick and beat the crap out of it for fun. Children mutilate these toys until they’re beyond recognition and what is their reward? Candy of course. Rather than guts the sweet filled animal contains suckers, chocolates, gummies, and usually small toys. What exactly does this practice teach our children; sub conscience or not? Violence has always been all around us just the graphic, realistic and reasoning behind it has changed. We used to bash open Piñatas for the candy inside now we blow away the competition with AK47’s so we can see their body parts spewed all over. And do you remember when Mom’s were upset over the original Mortal Combat because a red line that somehow represented blood would on occasion fly out if you hit your opponent hard enough. Maybe the problem isn’t that things are more violent in nature its that they’re more realistic. What once was a red line shooting out an arm is now a pile of intestines, limbs, and blood thrown on the ground as an aftermath.
Maybe we should just go back to the Piñata, an apparently harmless form of violence in the eyes of America.
Just my random illogical rant on Piñatas.

Transformers
So Matt and I finally watched Transformers the other day. Actually it weeks ago but this is the internet so it was the other day in my time.
Honestly, I know Transformers received some high reviews, but I just wasn’t impressed. And here’s why…. I can handle a movie passing off fighting robots or whatever but not that our government would allow two college students access to their computer systems and national defense systems. And if those agents aren’t on enough drugs we’ve got another unit allowing a teenage boy and his recent girlfriend to boss them around just because he found the car and his great grandfather might have had a connection. Come on, our military would just ride in there, steal the car and never accept blame or admit they couldn’t do something. they certainly wouldn’t accept help from non government officials of this age.
The only reason these young actors/actresses are in the movie is to draw in a younger viewer demographic. If you’re like Matt your rebuttal is that “it’s just a fictional movie and I should calm down, because there are robots talking on the screen”. I’m just sick and tired of Hollywood treating all movie viewers like we’re freaking zombies and don’t pick up on these things. I’m even sadder that so many of the viewers prove them right.
The people who enjoyed Transformers are probably the same people who feel Gattaca isn’t Sci-Fi enough because they still use elevators. Bad Zombies Bad. Gattaca is one of the most realistic Sci-Fi movies out there for reasons that they are still using things like elevators. What do you expect them to teleport everywhere? They use elevators and cars because they still work, just like we do today. Henry Ford first mass produced the Model T in 1908 and although the technology and look has changed we’re still driving them. Why wouldn’t we continue to do so? Its only a few years in the future, this isn’t the Jetson’s.
The moral of my story is, if you’re looking for a good Sci-Fi put down Transformers and rent Gattaca instead.
But what can I say I have a feeling I’m going to love the new National Treasure even though it has Cage in it and is pretty fantasy filled. Like the government would ever give them five percent, they’d lock them up fast and keep all the goods themselves. So I guess I am a hypocrite after all.
“Why are we fighting to save the humans? They're a primitive, violent race.”
And this one because it’s a line I can relate to: “So I downloaded a couple thousand songs off the internet! Who hasn't? Who hasn't?”
