Review: Fido

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I’m not kidding when I say this has become my favorite zombie comedy. I enjoyed this more that Shaun of the Dead even! It is beautiful film, visually and mentally! I enjoyed every moment of this movie!

Maybe I just enjoyed this movie so much because have a love for zombies. If you are a fan of zombies and horror genres, this is a must! As long as you like a little comedy too! Even if you are not a fan of zombie movies, I believe you could still find this movie quite enjoyable.

The film takes place in a fictional alternate universe where radiation from space has turned the dead into zombies. Radiation, which still lingers in the atmosphere, still plagues humanity as all those who die after the orginal contamination turn into the undead. In order to continue living normal lives without the threat of zombies, humanity encloses itself in fenced cities with the help of a governing corporation named Zomcom. Humans eventually domesticate zombies using collars that control their hunger for flesh and use them as slaves. One day, housewife Helen Robinson buys a zombie in spite of her husband Bill’s fear. Their son, Timmy, befriends the zombie, naming him “Fido”. One day, Fido’s collar malfunctions and he eats their next door neighbor….

Review: Lars and the Real Girl

Monday, August 25th, 2008

I when my mother asked me to watch this movie I almost said no. I had never even heard of this movie before. She had me watch the previews, which made it sound like a silly comedy movie. Don’t let the previews fool you, because this movie is more of a drama than a comedy if you ask me. Sure, it has it’s comical parts. The plotline is even comical. A man falls in love with a sex doll, which he believes is real. But the movie has a lot of seriousness to it.

It was not a bad movie, but as a comedy it could have been funnier.

Review: The Dark Knight

Monday, August 25th, 2008

My first thought of The Dark Knight was that it was just going to be overrated, but when I saw it I changed my mind. The only real flaw when I went to see this movie was the theater I went to, because the film messed up in the middle of it. The movie had me on the edge of my seat the whole time! This movie was nothing less than what you would expect. Every moment will have your attention. I even had to use the restroom since the beginning of the movie, but I held it in the whole time just because I didn’t want to miss a thing. It easily deserves a 5 out of 5.

I’m not going to give any spoilers. Just go see it if you haven’t already!

One new project, too many decisions

Friday, August 8th, 2008

So I finally have a real community project to get my little hands into. Even though I already had plenty of tasks I need to finish, I am ever so excited about this one! I’m not saying I hate this website, but as a personal blogging/graphics website, it is nowhere near as interesting to me as making a website for a community of people! Knowing that I’m not just making a website for myself makes me feel great! Plus I need the experience!

So what is it? It is a World of Warcraft guild website! Two guilds on the Firetree server are about to make a merge! Being the sister and friend of the current leaders, I wanted to help out. I want to make a guild website with all the basics and more. I don’t only want raid schedules and character information, I want a website that will bring the guild members close together. I want to make the members feel like family!

So I’ll probably use Nuoriffic for the domain, since really nuoriffic is doing nothing but hosting little things at the moment. Plus the name would go with our guild name, Narcoleptic Unicorns, which came from the initials “NUO”.

Nuoriffic MB will still be around for awhile, but might end up merging with in the new website.

Anyways, I’m trying to make a decision: Drupal or Joomla? Both look really nice and have plenty of nifty extensions, but I can’t decide which would be right for the new website!
