MLP: Equestria Girls + MOVIE REVIEW +Yesterday, I and a couple of my friends, as well as my kid brother with whom I spend nearly enough time with, hauled ourselves over to a faraway city to watch a movie unlike any other ever released before in a theatre none of us even knew existed until about a month ago: Equestria Girls at the Digiplex!
Since its announcement, I had decided to follow closely the news, updates, hype, and chatter floating around about the thing and it is a horror story. This spurred me to promise the general public I’d give the movie a review once I realized that this film needs a pair of critical eyes for the skeptic guys (and gals).

First of all, just

Rehamonized Reread Part 3Greetings all who read this; I'd tell you to get ready to be moved, but you've already read the chapter. Now that you've collected yourself, let's dig into this treat.

Rarity opens with cordial greetings letting us know that in the weeks since Discord caused so much upheaval everyone, including herself, has gotten to the point where they can at least act as though things are back to normal. She now only has diamonds cause her regular problems and merely has nightmares every other night involving a handsome prince coming to woo her only to reveal himself as Tom. Pinkie tries helping with levity and Fluttershy offers to listen, but Rarity d

Man of Steel Movie Review*Minor Spoilers within*
The return of Superman to the big screen in Man of Steel was something I was really looking toward. I can say that I wasn't disappointed but there were some slight disappointments within the film though.

Let me start off by saying that the epic feel that a Superman movie should have was there. Whether it was on the alien world of Krypton or flying around the world with Superman, it was awe inspiring. But was Superman awe inspiring? Sort of and no all at the same time. Henry Cavill did a very nice job with the role and was a force to reckon with. But the human side of him I missed in this film. He didn't have that inno

Rated: PG-13, for intense action and fantasy violence throughout
:star::star::star::star::star:

Never in my career would I have thought that I would find a movie worthy of a five-star rating, and never did I think the first film to garner that honour would be a Superman film because I've never bought much into this hero. In many films Kal-El has been too superhuman-ed and too impervious to allow for the average person to buy into his plight. His challenges have always been high above what any of us could do, but this film approaches the character in a way that humanizes him. He i

Divide and Conquer: Analysis

I’m back again, with another episode. And this one is pretty great! Just…different.

It’s fairly well-known that Divide and Conquer is the original pilot episode that ended up being aired third instead, and it really shows. This clearly is meant to introduce the characters and tone of the show to the target audience. Plus, all of the clips in the theme song are from this episode, as far as I can see. I often wonder what got mixed up in the studio to make this one come out later when it’s the perfect first episode. I also wonder what would have happened to the show if it had actually started with this one and not Final

How To Become A Sociopath: A Beginner's GuideHow to become a sociopath:

First, let us understand the definition of a sociopath. Sociopathy is often defined as being asocial or antisocial as well as lacking a sense of moral responsibility or consciousness of social norms. It would be a first clue that it is quite unnatural to want to become a sociopath in the first place, but if you’re still reading this with a great deal of interest that goes beyond entertainment, then that clue is unnecessary to you under the circumstances.
To become a sociopath, you must learn not to care even in the slightest about how strange you might begin to act. If you choose to turn over instantaneously, this could become worrisome to those close to you, and showing a vastly diminished sense of moral responsibility would become quite difficult and troublesome in many areas. This transition is best done gradually. Make sure others understand that these new tendencies are to become your personal

Darke Reviews - Man of Steel Darke Reviews - Man of Steel

As a warning this may be one of my longest reviews to date, but I also believe this movie is one of the few that deserves to be talked about and thought about. There are bones of contention scattered through the film by many fans and some critics and I want to lay them to rest from my point of view. So I am going to break tradition for me and give the TL;DR upfront.

SEE MAN OF STEEL. At the moment this is the absolute must see film of the summer. Pacific Rim and Lone Ranger haven't come out so this is the movie to beat right now in every respect.

Why? That's what you may be looking for in my review.

Beginning, Middle, or End?“The most important part of a story is the beginning.

Why? Because it needs to capture the reader’s attention. If the beginning is terrible, than they won’t read any further, and all the time you spent developing the plot and working out the ending will be wasted. If you don’t have a good beginning, they’ll never make it there. You need to draw them in, get them hooked, make them want to stay and figure out what’s going on. Especially on a site like DeviantART where if someone doesn’t like the first few sentences that they can see, they won’t click on it or read it at all.”

35. JashinistExperience - Experiment ResultsIt's been a long time, DA community. There is only a week left of my school year before exams and then it's off to university in August.

I've received some messages on my JE account on the Jashinist Temple from others who would like to assist me in raising awareness towards Jashinism. I would like everyone to know I appreciate the support because it continues driving me. I would like to get as many people involved as possible. I will keep all those who express their want for involvement in mind for the future.

More DmC: Devil May Cry Reviews"From the absolutely convoluted, asinine, and downright insulting plotline to the poor writing, voicework, and general pacing of the game itself, DmC falls flat on its face at almost every turn."

"It's not even as creative and innovative as Devil May Cry 2, and that one was fair at best."

"On paper, DmC: Devil May Cry might look like a good reimagining with its surreal art style, fantasy environments, seemingly intriguing premise, and its seemingly flexible combat, but in reality -- it's a demonic heart attack."

"Nothing but dumbed-down gameplay and edgy cutscenes wrapped in a game tailored to foul-mouthed 13-year olds."

BTC - Down By LawDown By Law review

Released in 1986 under the direction of Jim Jarmusch and originally distributed by Island Pictures on a budget of $1,100,000; "Down By Law" is an independent prison escape film that, typical of Jim Jarmusch films, takes a familiar genre but uses a different approach to the material to focus solely on the character. Long time readers of my reviews will remember a review I wrote in January 2011 for the Johnny Depp film "Dead Man" as I described it as being interesting to watch and praised them but rather long and tiresome for the mindset of someone who hadn't began the intense film immersion course. Well, it's been a long ti

Things I Learned From 1992's Bram Stoker's Dracula

Sometimes, we learn things from movies; how to comfort others when they're sad, how to fight off the bad guys, or how to woo the ladies (or guys, I don't judge). But sometimes, movies present important lessons that one has to question on a regular basis whether the lessons these movies teach are good messages. So, in an effort to point out these lessons, as well as to make people crack up, here are the lessons I learned from attaching Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film adaptation of the classic novel, "Bram Stoker's Dracula."

A long time ago…well, more like a few weeks ago at the very least…

Episode II Part II

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

Despite nobody really asking for it, Alec has returned to Star Wars to criticize Episode II: Attack of the Clones, despite his own nostalgic connections with the movie from his childhood.

Alec's analysis has shown him that, while it actually has a main character with semi-clearer character motivations, the film is boggled by irrational logic and gaping plotholes that one could drive an AT-AT Walker through.

However, Alec did not expect to be sued by the Star Wars Fanbase for emotional distress

Planet of the Apes '68 review

by ~Volts48, Aug 5, 2011, 12:33:57 AM
Literature / Prose / Non-Fiction / Reviews & Guides

Three astronauts, Taylor (Charlton Heston), Landon (Robert Gunner) and Dodge (Jeff Burton) awake from hibernated sleep to discover they have crashed landed on an alien world n the year 3978 AD. But they quickly discover on this planet, apes are the dominant species and humans are killed or hunted for manuel labor or experimentation. Taylor is taken as an experiment and his intelligence is discovered by ape scientist Zira (Kim Hunter), her archeologist fiance` Cornelius (Roddy McDowall) and the Ape Minister of Science Dr. Zaius (Maurice Evans). While Zira wishes to further research Taylor, Zaius demands Taylor to be sterilized. This all boils down to the discovery that once, humans on the planet were the dominant species, but then the roles were reversed. How did that happen? How are humans dumber than apes? What is in the Forbidden Zone? It all leads to one of the greatest twists in cinema, I'll tell ya that.

"Planet of the Apes" is one of my favorite movies of all time, no matter how many times I've seen it, the film never gets old. It's brilliantly paced, brilliantly acted and it has a strong message against nuclear war. To be frank, it's a brilliant movie. Especially Charlton Heston, I'm not entirely fond of his tough guy acting that he always has in all his films (yes, that goes for Ben-Hur) but in this film, it seems his acting style works well here. Everyone else is okay but it's Heston everyone remembers because he's the only human you really effectively root for.

I've heard people complain about the makeup for the film and, yeah, I'll be frank, it doesn't look like a real ape but, come on people, suspend disbelief! The makeup for the apes for the time was simple to put on and simple to remove for the actors and even if it's not 100% accurate, if it doesn't look human then it's just an ape.

This film is a masterpiece in my opinion. It's true, there's The Day the Earth Stood Still and there's 2001 a Space Odyssey; but to me, this is the perfect combination of camp and science-fiction with ingenious writing. It's a brilliant movie, I positively love it.

My Rating: a Masterpiece of Film-Making

Sigh* I should smartly stop right here and just wait until Sunday to give my review for the new Planet of the Apes. Sadly, I have an obligation to keep and I keep my obligations. So, sit tight everyone, next up is the film that killed the franchise; "Beneath the Planet of the Apes"

I really wish I could say more but I feel saying more about it would be spoiling the film.
But really, this film is a marvel every time I watch it. the Acting is great, the pacing is great,it's just a great movie.
Wish I could say the same for the other films...
