Black Friday

You know, the day in which thousands of people go to several department stores to get great deals and people go crazy! Yea, we all know the day....it just happened a few days ago and guess who was in the middle of it....yeah me! I actually didn't go to shop but I went with my cousin to Walmart and Game Stop. We got to Walmart right at 10:00 PM, which is when the first wave of deals started and it was CRAZY! We went to the electronics to find a game for my Mom (weird I know) and at 9:59 PM people started to tear open the boxes for $.99 DVDs and other sales. This poor old employee lady was all in the middle of it and ducked when the boxes went flying. My cousins and me just stood there and watched and laughed. Needless to say, we didn't find the game and left.

James and me then went to Game Stop and waited until their store opened at midnight. We stood in a line at 11:00 and he got a Zelda 3DS system. Nothing really happened at Game Stop except this one family got into an argument about cutting into line.

We drove by Best Buy to see how long the line was and it was still wrapped around the building at 12:30 AM....the store opened at 12. Craziness.

After this I went back to the house. My sister and me went to Best Buy, Walmart, and Toys-R-Us to look at the carnage and to see what is left. After all the madness I walked out with the Star Wars trilogies on blu-ray. Excited!

Let's A Go!

 On Friday the BCM had their annual "Halloween" party and the theme this year was childhood cartoons. Some of the guys at the bookstore decided to dress up as a group and we decided to Mario and company. We had Mario, Luigi, Wario, Daisy, and Yoshi in bag form haha. Other people from the bookstore decided to do things differently and one was the Hulk and the other was Iceman from X-men.

There were many costumes at the party that were great! Probably one of the best "Halloween" parties ever at the BCM, that I have been apart of.

Softgood guys: Mario [me], Luigi [Micah], Wario [Ben], Hulk [Adam], and BJ [Iceman]

Me and "Yoshi," shouldn't it be reversed though??

The Mario Gang with Daisy [Micah's girlfriend]

We all have to dress back up for work tomorrow! Woohoo!!

"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" Review

Transformers: Dark of the Moon starts out great by providing background information for the entire movie. It makes an interesting twist on the first man on the moon landing. After that part it continues with story-telling and it does get a little boring. It ends in a great way.

The movie is full of action and great special effects. There are a lot of plot twists that keep you interested in the movie. It is MUCH better than the 2nd Transformers movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be seeing it again tomorrow night in 3D.

Overall I would give the movie a B+ as the story telling could had been a little better in the end.

"Green Lantern" Review

Watched Green Lantern last night and I LOVED it!! I was afraid that Ryan Reynolds would not do a good job but he was great! He used his comedy background to add humor to the movie and it worked out greatly. The special effects were great especially since the costume was computer generated. They were creative in the use of the manifestations of the ring and kept things from being shown in the trailer, which was something I was worried about.

It is currently my favorite summer movie! Overall I would give the movie a A-! Tempted to go see it again.

The next movie to come out is Transformers: Dark of the Moon....might replace Green Lantern as my favorite movie. We shall see.

Until next time...

MTV Movie Awards

So I'm watching the MTV Movie Awards right now.

The movie awards are so biased! The winners are determined by votes sent in from the general public. The only problem with this is that every category containing anything related to Twilight, the winner is Twilight.

For example, there was the "best fight" category and there were some pretty good nominees including: Harry Potter, Inception, Twilight (2 different fights), and one other that I can't remember. One of the Twilight scenes won, even though in my opinion the Inception fight scene should of won!

This has happened in every category thus far and if Twilight is in the best movie category, I might as well not watch it. I know who is going to win.

Will be glad when that movie franchise is over with, it will give somebody else a chance to win!

"X-Men: First Class" Review

I saw X-Men: First Class today. My review: A

The story was great and the special effects were great as well. I love the x-men because it has so many great powers all in one group. This movie had so many mutants, it was great!

I also loved how the film was set in a different time period and not necessarily present day. It worked around a big moment in history, the Cold War. It worked well with this event and put a unique spin on it (not going to give it away for those who haven't seen it yet).

There was one graphic problem in a scene with Beast and there were some cheesy dialogue.

Overall very good movie.

Next two movies in the 2011 summer movie season: Super 8 & Green Lantern!

Until next time....

Pirates of the Caribbean: At Stranger Tides

After months of waiting, it has finally arrived....Pirates of the Caribbean: At Stranger Tides!

I saw it last weekend and here is my review on it:

I thought it was pretty good. Not my favorite one of the franchise. I must say that it has a new feeling about it. It was different than the others, in a good way. (I'm trying not to give anything away.)

Let's just say that I'm willing to see it again (and I am seeing it again this weekend).

The 2011 Summer Movie Season has officially begun....next movie: X-Men: First Class.

Movie Madness!

Oh man!! Summer Movie Madness Is In Full Swing!!!!

Just this week alone there have been several still images and extended trailers released, on upcoming summer movies!

Nothing on "Pirates: At Stranger Tides" (May 20) but a few still images from "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (July 1):

Also some new trailers and new commercial....first for "Thor" (May 6):

....and then "Green Lantern" (June 17):

Wrestlemania XXVII

Wrestlemania 27 was last night and it was pretty sweet! Shannon Hughes let us watch it at her house and she cooked us spaghetti, which was really good! Braden and me got a cake what said "Wrestlemania 27" from Winn Dixie. It was a good setting and a lot of fun. The highlight of the evening for me was The Undertaker vs HHH match. The match was very intense and very physical for both men. The Undertaker has a record at wrestlemania for not losing a match for the past 18 years. The "streak" is still alive as he defeated HHH and is now 19 - 0!

Thanks again to Shannon for letting us use her house! Will I watch wrestlemania 28? Who knows.....only time will tell.

Good times...

I haven't really talked about the funny moments from the DC trip, and believe me when I say that there are tons of them, but I would like to mention just one....my favorite one from the whole trip.

The train ride took roughly 19 hours one way to complete. On the way up there we were not prepared at all! The ride back though we decided to try something. Erin, Savannah, and me thought it would be a good idea to get some Tylenol PM to help us fall asleep. We got some at Union Station and boarded the train at around 6:30 PM. At around 8:30 PM Ainsley asked for some and then everybody started to ask for some. We had 13 people go with us and out of those 13, 7 of us took some of the drugs. Few of us didn't take ours until later but Erin, Ainsley, Morgan, and Zeb took it then. Erin decided she would try to fight it and Ainsley and her were hilarious.

Ainsley suggested that I take video of them, and anybody who knows me, knows that I jumped on that opportunity immediately. So I give you the two videos of them on Tylenol PM...

NOTE: This is raw, unedited video. What you see if the real thing.

Good times....
