Harley Quinn #1 | Comic Book Review

Harley Quinn #1 is yet another beginning to a DC New 52 story and it focuses on Batman villain Harley Quinn. In this issue, it appears Harley is trying to redo her life. She owns an apartment and needs a job because the tenant's rent will not cover the costs.

This story is mostly build up, but it is highly entertaining and I will go as far to say that I love this issue and will definitely be collecting the rest of these issues. The design of Harley Quinn is pretty amazing. It shows a likeable but wild character. And that is just her facial expressions. She has great dialogue and she (as she should) steals the show. She is by far the best character which is a flaw I have.

The other characters aren't really given much due to Harley's strong personality and it kind of isolates her which is a flaw because eventually this will get tired. So yes, Harley completely works as a main character but we also need more characters to match her incredible personality and dialogue. This can be easily fixed so I have hope for this only flaw I have with the issue with it otherwise being amazing

I'm going to give Harley Quinn #1

The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (2014) | Comic Book Review

The Amazing Spider-Man #1 is the introduction to the The Amazing Spider-Man series but it is not a reboot. It is a continuation of The Amazing Spider-Man #700 and The Superior Spider-Man series. Otto Octavious (Doc Ock) is no longer Spider-Man and Peter Parker is back. He has to deal with everything Doc Ock has established being Spider-Man including a new girlfriend, a new company and many other things.

In my opinion, the story is absolutely amazing and everything else about this story is incredible as well, The illustrations are very detailed. Peter Parker is back, that's right he is mouthing off to his foes yet again (as mentioned by one of the bystanders). He does a lot of cool stunts and is a welcome return.

This is a thick book. It contains a few tie in stories and the edition I own comes with Inhuman #1 (review coming soon). The tie in stories definitely set up issues 2 and 3. The only flaw I have is that with it being an issue 1 it is not exactly easy for new readers to jump on to. However that is all I think is wrong with it.

I will give The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (2014)

Sinestro #1 | Comic Book Review

Sinestro #1 is the first issue in the new series by DC in the New 52 series. The series is based of Yellow Corps leader Sinestro. It is interesting that DC are taking an approach to have villains be the main focus point of a series (Harley Quinn #1 review coming soon).

So does this issue give us a good introduction to the series. Yes it is a pretty entertaining and interesting way to start the series. This story is basically an aftermath of something I clearly have not read (I'm behind on Green Lantern, Corps and New Guardians ((I suck)).) Yes I do not proclaim to be a MAJOR expert on comic books but I do have a higher than average knowledge of comic books. Basically it is will Sinestro return to the Yellow Corps or not?

The illustrations are incredible. It looks like Green Lantern except it is not all green themed. Sinestro seems less intimidating which is good because if this is his own series, we need to be able to have some relation to this character. And we had a pretty good link with Sinestro. As issue 1 goes, it's a pretty good introduction to the series.

I'm going to give Sinestro #1

The Way Way Back | Spoiler Filled Movie Review

Okay, so I have previously reviewed The Way Way Back and I know that was enough for most people because it's not a film that many people have seen. But after seeing it for the forth time in less than twelve months, I just need to talk about this film in complete spoilers and all.
So beware spoilers ahead!

So Liam James is the star of the film despite the fact it is credited as Steve Carrell first, in reality the cast list should probably go:

1: Liam James (Duncan)
2: Sam Rockwell (Owen)
3: Toni Collette (Pam)
4: AnnaSophia Robb (Susanna)
5: Steve Carell (Trent)
6: Allison Janney (Betty)
7: Nat Faxon (Roddy)
8. Maya Rudolph (Caitlin)

So basically Liam James has a special relationship with each of these characters. My favourite one is the relationship he has with AnnaSophia Robb's character. She plays the girl next door and they eventually develop into a romantic-ish relationship. The next would be the one with Sam Rockwell. He basically changes Liam James life in a way he never would have dreamed. Honourable mentions would be his messed up relationship with Steve Carell and crazy relationship with Allison Janney.

There are so many scenes in the film that just blew me away and I'm going to list them below in order:

1. Sam Rockwell steps in front of Steve Carell to say goodbye to Liam James

2. AnnaSophia Robb kisses Liam James

3. Liam James runs away after they stop at the gas/petrol station

4. The 4th of July

5. 'He's cheating on you mum' Scene and also continuing to the farewell party

Yeah I stick by my A+ grade and this is in my top 10 best films of all time!

Jurassic Park | Movie Review

Jurassic Park is a movie that came out in 1993. It is semi based on the novel by the same name written by Michael Crichton. The film stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Richard Attenborough and Jeff (the man) Goldblum. The plot is that Richard Attenborough owns an island that contains dinosaurs and you just know things are gonna wrong.

This film is a classic and I have been wary going in to classics due to the fact on whether I will like them or think that they are over hyped by critical and commercial success. However I can say that I absolutely adored Jurassic Park. The acting by Sam Neill and Laura Dern is great but lets all face it. Jeff (the man) Goldblum steals the show as Dr. Ian Malcolm. The children in this movie are actually not annoying (surprisingly) and the way that they get circumstantially stuck with Sam Neill gives all three characters amazing character development. Also a moment of silence for the guy who *mild spoiler* gets eaten on the toilet

This film spans 2 maybe 3 days max which doesn't leave a lot of breathing room, however when the film does slow down, it does it so perfectly that the pace of the film is near to 100 percent perfect. There was not one boring moment in the film. It kept me entertained for every second of the ride. And yes, maybe some of the scenes wouldn't have been as amazing if it wasn't for Jeff Goldbum. Like I'm talking top 10 movie characters of all time.

Okay here we go, the special effects. They still hold up today. That scene were Laura Dern and Sam Neill are in the car and they look up and you see the dinosaur for the first time. Listen, I know what I'm about say might not make sense on a technical stand point. But that is, the greatest special effects (mixed with practical effects I'm sure) shot in film history. I'm also going to compare to the recent Godzilla film that just came out. But the dinosaurs altogether and the way that they get circumstantially stuck with Sam Neill gives all three characters amazing character development get about 10 minutes screen time but it is well spaced out and the characters are so amazing that you don't even notice the short amount of screen time these beautiful creatures get.

I'm going to give Jurassic Park
