Movie: Thor




Marvel Studios have done it again, joining the ranks of Ironman and Hulk we are finally introduced to Thor ‘The God of Thunder’.

Thor is an explosive movie that the whole family can sit together and enjoy.  It brings together the genres of action and romance well, as we tag along on Thor’s journey of love and of self discovery, leading to the growth of a worthy king and a great superhero. Chris Hemsworth portrayal and the added humour to the character thrusts the film into the realm of success.  We as the audience are constantly entertained as the film never losses memento and every minute of the film in laced with action, new information and constant connection to the previous avenger movies, leaves us gasping for more.

The movie is not only a success because of the superb acting of stars, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, and Tom Hiddleston, but also the outstanding graphics that we are subjected to with the 3D effect. The graphical display of the beautiful environment and the world’s makes us want to visit Asgard ourselves and gives us a sense of realism, which further carries the movie to optimum success.  We can’t wait for our next hero.

Prison Break (season 1)

I just finished watching the season 1 of Prison Break, and OMG I see what the hype was all about. I have to admit when i first heard of Prison Break i was less than thrilled, a guy having blueprints tattooed all over his body, in order to go into prison to break his brother out for a crime he didn't commit, seemed like a one season wonder to me. So when my sister bought the box set and forced us all to watch it together, i had my ipod at hand with a good book so i could block out what i considered a colossal watse of money. But i am big enough to admit that, was I wrong.

I almost instantaneously fell in love with Michael, the immaculate plan he developed and the devotion he showed to his brother. I mean in most series, when you see the main character in difficult situation, their personality starts to change or in some cases just become plan annoying, but not in this case. Michael stayed true to who he was, never once compromising his beliefs or losing focus on why he was in that prison, he planned for any and every possible situation, which they said is only a possibility because of his high IQ and low latent inhibition (I already tested myself and i so don't have LLI Dammit!).

The series was well executed, as each episode was better than the less and us viewers where kept constantly intrigued. I watched as bumps and questions came and were just as swiftly solved or half answered, which left us wanting more and  trying to figure out the big picture was, from the beginning to the very end.

We were also introduced to amazing characters such as Sucre, Haywire and even T-Bag, who I have to say is my favourite behind Mr Scofield.

Overall I am very happy to have been forced to watch this series and cant wait to get started on season 2, (kinda glad I waited because i would have been highly unimpressed if i was watching it in real time and they left me with that kind of cliff hanger)
