Dear Readers and New Comers...

Hello readers and new comers,

Lately my blogging hasn't been exactly what I'd call good. I'd also say I'm rather unenthusiastic about blogging in general at the present time. I think a break from blogging is in order, and then I'll decide what to do next. I'm planning not to worry too much about blogging in the meantime.

I've opened up a forum (listed below) for comments and suggestions on things that might make this blog more exciting, not only for me but also for you. Please take the time to make some suggestions and comments no matter how stupid, simple, and/or complicated they may seem. If you're a new comer and don't think you're qualified to make suggestions then check out what's on the blog. You can look at previous posts easily- there are links to the right.

All of your suggestions will inevitably improve the quality of this blog as a whole. Typically, I also give credit where credit is due; it could be your claim to fame. There are futher details on the forum by following the link below.

Unfortunately I cannot take a break and manage your wonderful suggestions on the forum; therefore I am leaving the management of the forum to Sarah McGuire (AKA: wingnut12). I both trust her judgement and communicate with her readily, therefore she is ideal for the position. Also, I more than likely will be checking in myself periodically.

Thanks,
~Sykon

Changes Coming Soon

Hello readers,

I know I haven't posted a whole lot (or at all) in the past few weeks and I appologize. I'm working on some things concerning the blog as a whole. Mainly this involves setting up a place where I can take suggestions, from you, my wonderful readers.

It is a little bit more work than expected, but things should be good to go very soon. I'll be putting up a more official and informative post, as well as links and what not as soon as everything is ready.

Please continue to check in as I will need your help in making improvements.

Thanks,
Sykon :]

Movie Review: The DaVinci Code

The DaVinci Code
Genre: Mystery Adventure Thriller
Rating: 10/10

Overview: When murder occurs it is only one of the many steps someone is taking to conceal one of the biggest secrets of all time. At the center of it all is Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu, a renown symbologist and local cop respectively. We follow them in this thrilling adventure as they seek the truth.

Review: This was an amazing movie. The plot was very fast and exciting and kept throwing you deeper and deeper. The complexities of the movie were made simple without taking away from the story. I saw nothing wrong whatsoever with the movie. Great plot, great mystery, great thrill, great adventure, great characters.

Note: I didn't read the book.

Rating: 9/10

Review : The plot was fast-moving and action packed; the theater actually screamed at one point which was an unexpected thrill. They also managed to incorporate most of the symbology and complex history without losing too much of the story, or too many people along the way. They did, however, deviate from the plot line and facts in the book, which I found disappointing, but I suppose they had to do it for time and simplicity's sake. The books are always better than the movies anyway. I also wouldn't have cast Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon; he was lacking emotion. Silas, on the other hand, was very well played, I was impressed with the depth given to that character. Overall, it was a movie not to be missed!

Movie Review: The Longest Yard

The Longest Yard
Genre: Comedy
Rating: 9/10

Overview: When the thought to be, point skimming quarter back is sent to jail things don't look good. With both convicts and prison officials not exactly on his side, he's requested to help the guards' football team by making a practice team from the convicts to play the guards.

Review: This was a great movie. It had pretty clean humor from I remember, and it wasn't stupid humor like a lot of movies these days. I haven't laughed at a movie that much since...umm...Home Alone? The characters were played pretty decently, minus the fact that convicts generally aren't that nice. The plot was decent as well.

Movie Review: Lucky Number Slevin

Lucky Number Slevin
Genre: Action
Rating: 10/10

Overview: When Slevins' life takes a turn for the worst it only gets worse when he the local gangs pick him up. Thinking he's someone else, they want him to pay them back the other guys debt. He is left with no other choice to bargain and comply, making this 'normal guy' a soon to be assassin.

Review: This was a great movie. The plot was great, with some good twists. The characters were seemingly flawless. The action wasn't overly plentiful but the deep story made up for it.
