Knowing(Nicolas Cage movie)

Howdy partners! I'm back for another review! This time of a relatively new movie, well, about a year old I guess..  AAAAAnywaaays, I do not like Mr. Cage, to be honest, I think he is just aweful.  I use to like him, but his movies just got worse and worse and worse, and then I saw his Japanese "Pachinko" commercials and that sent me over the breaking point.  Guess what? This movie is no exception! The movie starts off kind of interesting, enough to pull me in that is. The beginning is a flashback of a little girl and she is told to write a letter or draw a picture to put in a time capsule that would be burried and opened in ten years, the girl writes a full page of random numbers and then continues writing them anywhere she can, kinda weird but whatever...  So next it fast forwards to the same school ten years later where Nicolas' character is watching his son in the reopening ceremony of the capsule, in which his son gets the random numbers.  But instead of looking and giving it back, the boy is intrigued by it and tucks it away which leads to his father discovering the numbers arent so random but are infact the dates of all the worlds random disasters, pretty much ever.  Good plot right? I thought so, got me sucked in and I had hopes this would be Nick's career turn-around role! Well, I was wrong, this movie just becomes a steaming pile of..... something unpleasent, aaaall in the last sayyyy, 30 minutes? mmhm. trumendous turn around! You really had me going there Nicky! Good one! I'm not going to ruin the ending in case someone reading this intends to watch it anyways but the twist is the big thing that got me, thats all I'll say... So! If I were to rate this like some big-shot critic who actually thinks he knows what hes talking about(but doesnt) I think I would have to give this 2 PACHINKO'S out of 5!

Kingdom Hearts

Hey everyone, I havent wrote a blog in a few weeks so I'm back at it! Today I'm going to review a Play Station 2 game that is an unexpected masterpiece.  Of course, I'm talking about Kingdom Hearts! Kingdom Hearts is about the weirdest combination of just about anything ever, it fuses the awesome aspects of Square Enix's Final Fantasy series with the goofy, carefry characters of Disney! Whoda thunk it'd be so gosh darn fun!? Kingdom Hearts revolves around the journey of Sora, a young boy who lives on an island removed from all other life, and no one on the island has ever left. Sora has a dream to leave Destiny Island with his best friends Riku and Kyri and explore the sea in search of....well, anything! After an unexpected series of events, Sora is named the "Keyblade Master" and is sent through a portal into another world in search of Riku and Kyri who have now gone missing.  In the new world Sora soon meets Goofy and Donald, King Mickeys's closest friends and associates and together they fight the heart stealing "Heartless" across many Disney movie worlds restoring peace and investigating each world for clues to where Riku, Kyri and Mickey have gone to.  Kingdom Hearts is a compelling game with great characters, super fun gameplay, a compelling and heart-felt story and a unique colourful artstyle I enjoyed alot.  As you can tell, I like this game, I couldnt find a downside besides the sappy "friendship and love conquors all" theme, but it suits the game well. Even the music is good and that doesnt usually matter for me.. I recommend this game to anyone that is a fan of Disney, Final Fantasy, or any RPG's in general, it's worht your while! If I were a stuck up, snobby, jerk of a critic I'd give this a rating out of 5 stars, but I'm not! So I'll rate it out of 5 goofy Sora smiles! This game gets 4 goofy smiles out of 5, it could have been better, but not by much and there isnt anything in particular I could point out.
