Ben 10, 15, 20, 25...

    If you take all the episodes from all the Ben 10 series', including the movies, Ben Tennyson has had 155 adventures. The TV show's have been a huge success, all of them. Those being Ben 10, Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate alien. As if 3 TV shows, an in-development theatrical movie and $2 billion dollars in retail wasn't enough, another Ben 10 TV show is gearing for release. *crowd gasp!*
   The other day, I was scrolling through TV channels, when a commercial comes on. "THIS IS BEN 10 WEEK!" Something, something something, "Tune in on Friday for a sneak peek at the new show, Ben 10: Omniverse!" ...wait, what? Another?
   I was a huge fan of the original Ben 10. When Ben 10: Alien Force (the 2nd installment to Ben 10) came out I wasn't too excited for it. Mostly because he wasn't 10 years old anymore so that made him loose his hilarious child attitude. Since he was 15 he wasn't so immature and didn't mess around so much, which used to be one of the best things about Ben. Another thing that doesn't look so good for the series is it's animation. It's look's weird and very different from the animation of the previous installations.
    Ben 10 has been around for 6 years and has manage to always have an audience, and a large one at that. Although I can see why so many kids are attracted to it. It's a kid who can turn into different aliens. That's awesome.
One of the reasons I'm trying this show is because of this guy. A  lego  alien. LEGO.

The amazing thing is how far this show has come. I thought that the (original) show might last 3, 4 years and then die off. As you can see, I was quite wrong.
   But I'm still a bit of a fan, so I guess I'll check out the new show when it is released.
Here's the trailer:

"The Hunger Games" Review


Wow. Hunger Games. What a film. I read the books, and can tell fans of the book to chill out. Suzanne Colins left the series in good hands with director Gary Ross. It has quite a few scares, and even quite some comedy. The acting from pretty much every one is great. Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss and Woody Harrelson as Haymich really stand out. Compared to the book, being better or worse, is really up to your opinion. It betters in some places, and worsens in very little places. The camera work is GREAT, and the techniques are very effective, but near the end  *spoiler start* when they're against the wolves *spoiler end* the lighting really doesn't help the camera work, and the camera is too shaky by itself. That saying, you can tell what is happening in the scene, but you can't understand it. The way the gore is handled, though, is very well done, with camera shakes and eventual cuts, that let you see how someone died and that they're dead, without seeing so much violence. The movie may be confusing at times, but that is fixed quite fast. The movie is clever, funny, emotional, suspenseful, exciting, thrilling, and intense. The 74th anual Hunger Games do not in anyway disappoint.


Score: 9/10


Movie Description: Set in a future where the Capitol selects a boy and girl from the twelve district to fight to the death on live television, Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her young sister's place for the latest match.

ANGRY BIRDS SPACE RAGE

So, I got the new Angry Birds game, Angry Birds Space, on my Mac. It's awesome and by far the best of the Angry Birds games. If you don't have it, get it. It's a great game. 
 BUT, the other day, I went to open the game, and it said something about "Restore Windows". Apparently, last time I played I didn't exit properly and now it asks me to restore some window. Well as I went to click don't restore, it "unexpectedly quit" before I could do anything. I'm like "da f*q?" and just open it again. Same. Again. SAME. AGAIN. SAME. AGAIN. "Do you want to try to restore it's windows again?" Then I threw the computer out the window.


Ok, not really, but I got pretty angry(almost as angry as a bird. *ba dum tiss*)
So, my sister later logged on her user in the computer, and then she downloaded the game. IT WORKED FINE IN HER USER AND NOT MINE. Long story short, I spent most of the morning looking for ways to fix it and tried EVERYTHING but NOTHING worked. IN CONCLUSION, if you have any tips, please tell in the comments, thanx :D

THE HUNGER GAMES

The 74th anual Hunger Games are here! Even though we haven't seen the past 73, we get to see this one!
   So, the movie's critic reviews are great (the majority), and a bunch of people, including a few i know, have seen it and said it's awesome. Yet, I still haven't seen it. I read the book so I'm very excited for this. I've been waiting for about a year or so for it, and followed the news on it's development. I kind of stalked the film, if thats possible. Now it's out and I'm sitting around, waiting for a chance to be taken to the movie theatre to see it. If it results in being as awesome as the book, I will frame that movie ticket sub on my wall. If it doesn't I'll bury it in my popcorn. Then shoot an arrow through the popcorn.
