Muppets

So, in case you don't know what this post will be about, please read the tittle.  Over the break I did go and see this fantastic movie, so I have decided to highlight some of its many great features.  for one, the musical numbers were verry original and the entire movie had a verry classical original muppet feeling.  I for one did watch the old muppet show, so alot of the humor used really did come from the old show, but was fresh enough to be new and funny.  The acting was well done for puppets and the storyline was creative enough to keep me hooked until the end.  Over all, a fantastic movie worth seeing more than once.

earlier every year

So this week I have decided to talk about Christmas comercials.  to start, yes, I realize that companies call them holiday commercials, but believe it or not, Santa hats are the most often worn clothing item on holiday commercials, and Santa comes from Christmas.  Politicaly correct and actually correct are not the same people.  Two, every year a new record is set.  This year, I believe the earliest commercial for christmas was about K-mart layaway, before Haloween, which was a little spooky.  (sidenote: the K mart lightbulb was wearing a Santa hat)  Even now, before Thanksgiving, I find it hard to find a channel that doesn't have one christmas commercial.  I believe that after thanksgiving, a huge boom in commercialism as Charlie Brown might call it, will happen, and everyone will be in the Christmas spirit... in November...  That's just saddening...

HISHE

So this week I have decided to review HISHE.  For those of you who are not familiar with this, it is an acronym that stands for How It Should Have Ended.  It is a website that makes comical cartoons that point out certaint things in movies that should have changed the entire plot.  The website is funded by Starz media, but originally started out on its own.  I personally like this site due to the many random facts it points out about movie plot lines which many people often miss.  Recently, HISHE has been redoing endings for videogame plots as well, which I believe is not as funny, but still retains some good humor.

Captain America

So this week, I red boxed Captain America, and was impressed.  Not only was the acting great, but the plot was interesting enough to get my attention, but simple enough to not over-complicate things.  The real thing that surprised me was that this movie was a set up movie.  This means that the movie was really just made to pathe the way for another movie, in this case, the Avengers.  Most set up movies are generally not the greatest, like the second pirates of the caribean.  The movie set up for an extrordinary third movie, but was simply not outstanding in many ways.  Captain America had a solid story line that was fetched far enough to be captivating, but reasonable enough to be believeable.  All in all, Captain America would deffinitely be a movie I would buy.
