Immortals

This was a excellent movie in my opinion. It starred Kellan Lutz (better known to most as Emmett Cullen in the Twilight Saga) as Poseidon and Mickey Rourke (who has played roles in Sin City, The Wrestler, Iron Man 2, The Expendables and 9 1/2 Weeks). Henry Cavill plays Theseus, a young warrior trained by his mentor, the old man of the village. This old man does in fact turn out to be Zeus in mortal form. Rourke's character Hyperion attacks Theseus's village murdering every villager left behind including Aethra (Theseus's mother) and taking Theseus captive to work in the salt mines. That is where the virgin oracle, Phaedra first meets Theseus. Phaedra has a vision of Theseus and therefore she and her three decoys cause a riot. She uses the chaos that was created to escape the mines with Theseus, Stavros (played by Stephen Dorff), a monk in the service of the Oracle named Nycomedes and a few other escaped slaves. Theseus is told by Phaedra after having another vision that he must lay his mother to rest and therefore he returns home to do so. Upon placing his mom, Aethra to rest in the tombs Theseus discovers the Epirus Bow and is then attacked by Hyperion's creature the minotaur. Theseus is successful in killing the creature but not before the minotaur had time to poison Theseus by scratching him. At this point Hyperion is on his way to Tartarus. Theseus saves his friends from execution using the bow before he ended up collapsing from the poison. The oracle, Phaedra tends to his wounds and ends up falling in love with Theseus and is stripped of her visions which she always saw as a curse.  The group returns to the Oracle's temple only to find a trap had been laid for them there. Theseus loses the bowbecause of it. Seeing Theseus outnumbered 2 gods defy Zeus and come to his aid. They were Ares and Athena. Zeus arrives to deal with the two but Athena begs forgiveness. Ares on the other hand asked for no forgiveness and was executed for his disobedience. Zeus then tells Theseus no god would ever come to his aid again. The bow is brought before Hyperion. He in turn uses it to break through the indestructible gate of Tartarus. He ignores the battle between his men and the Athenian army as he walks through to Mount Tartarus. He kills the king of Tartarus along his way who though that he could reach a peaceful agreement with Hyperion. Hyperion then releases the Titans using the bow before Theseus and Stavros could stop him. The gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo and Hercules) battle the titans as Theseus is battling Hyperion. At the end of the fight scene it jumps ahead in time. Phaedra has given birth to a son named Acamas, who is Theseus's son. His son is met by the old man who tells him that one day he will also fight against evil like his father did. Acamas has a vision of gods and titans battling in the sky.
It was an excellent movie with a lot of action and just a little bit of romance. They left it to where they most definitely can be a sequel to it. I loved it and strongly recommend it. However this movie is not suitable for the children in my oinion. There is a lot of violence and blood in this movie.

Twilight

I like Stephanie Meyer’s book. I love the imagery that she used to draw the reader in. Her book is a excellent read that takes the reader to Forks, WA. I think when they turned the book into a movie that they director and producers did an excellent job staying true to the book. The cast was wonderful for the roles they were casted to play. I just think it is different and unusual to make a vampire sparkle. However at the same time it is nice to have a bit of a change of the usual Hollywood vampire movies. It is a blend of romance and mystery with the science fiction twist of Edward being a vampire. I love the line that says “So the lion fell in love with the lamb.” I fell that Robert Patterson made a good Edward. He has the good looks while at the same time he has a mysterious look to him. I think Kristen Stewart was a more than excellent choice to play Isabella “Bella” Swan. I like how she can look innocent while also being pretty and staying young. The music that the music director chose was very tasteful. I love during the baseball game you hear Muse’s Supermassive Blackhole. I also enjoy the song called Bella’s lullaby.  The other part of the movie that I like is the author Stephanie Meyer is in a scene at the diner.

The other thing I like is no matter what age you are you can at point relate to the characters in the movie. I have been told from other friends that Bella reminds them of me, which I always found to be interesting. I used to think I was more of Esme than Bella. I have just started to see what they mean. However I have noticed that you can relate to just about all the characters in the movie. A person can find parts of themselves in Edward, Bella, Jacob, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Charlie Swan, Billie Black, Victoria, Laurent and even James.

If anyone is wanting to get their hands on a copy of the book or movie I would recommend Amazon.com or any local bookstore or Wal-Mart should have this selection. I also personally recommend getting the soundtrack which you can get at Amazon.com for pretty affordable.

New Year Resolutions

This year when it came time to make our resolutions. I decided to use a resolution generater to come up with a resolution that'd be simply to keep and rewarding once fulfilled. I got so into it that I now have 61 resolutions for this year. I hve already fulfilled 6 of them with at least  2 more being completed before the end of the month.
My point is by now we have already broken our resolutions. I found by using a generater for my resolution it was easier to create a resolution. I think it has also been easier to complete my resolutions as well.
One of the best new year resolution generators I found was at http://creatingclever.com/new-years-resolution-generator. This is the same generator that I used for my resolutions. I hope everyone else was able to stick to their resolutions as well.
