True Blood: S4 E2

Show: True Blood
Season: 4
Episode: 2
Original Airing: July 3, 2011

WOW! The season picks up in just the second episode. True Blood Episode Two is where things begin to tie in and the drama is building. Gosh, I wish I could watch all the episodes in one night. Forget that one episode per Sunday. I'm eating my words about the "loosely" part of my episode one review.

I know this review is early, but if you seen the True Blood commercials on HBO you know that they had a special viewing for the second episode on their itunes app and various HBO websites. Luckily for you guys that are reading this I embedded the episode at the bottom of this post. It's uploaded at Megavideo so it's free to watch. Enjoy. As usually I make the plot review short and to the point, as many of you are going to be watching the episode yourself in just a few minutes if you have not seen it already.

True Blood Season 4 Premiere

Show: True Blood
Season: 4
Episode: 1
Original Airing: June 26, 2011


Last night I watched the season 4 premiere of HBO's hottest show since the Sopranos. The season is supposed to loosely follow the fourth book of the Sookie Stackhouse series.  So far I don't see any resemblances to the book besides the coven of witches.  But I digress, this season is sure to be full of surprises, twists, plenty of blood, and the sexy vamp Eric Northman.  I'll try and keep the episode summary short and to the point. 

The fairy world is everything you would think it sure be, right- magical people, beautiful woman, golden fruit, and goblins.... wait? Did I say goblins? The fairy world is not what it is supposed to be as Sookie soon finds out. The queen fairy is set on sealing off the fairy world from the human and she will not let Sookie escape. Good thing Sookie didn't eat the golden fruit! Sookie finds her long lost grandpa who is supposedly dead. At first he does not recognize her, because according to him Sookie is still a seven year old girl.  The Grandpa realizes that what seemed like hours was 20 years.

Mini Review: Nichols Cage Needs A Hair Cut and Marriage Problems

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010): Cute movie filled with funny moments. Nichols Cage's face when he was told that he wore old man shoes was to die for. Jay Baruchel (looks like a shyer and nerdier version of Nathan from Misfits) trying to stop the mops with an axe. LOL.
Rating: 3.5/5

Season of the Witch (2011) It wasn't that bad. Honestly the way the critics slammed this film and tossed it away like it was something dirty was just too much. The script could have been better but it was nothing close to being as bad as the crapper Red Riding Hood. I felt like the actors did the best they could with what they were given. OMG it's Nathan from Misfits!
Rating: 3/5

Couples Retreat (2009) Umm... not that funny but it had its moments. OMG it's Hritik Roshan (Not really its just Carlos Ponce)
Rating: 3/5

Rio

Year : 2011
Runtime : 96 Min.
Genre : Comedy, Animation
Director : Carlos Saldanha
Movie Stars : Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, George Lopez
Country: USA
Language : English, Brazilian Portuguese

Blue is the victim of illegal animal smuggling, but luckily an incident occurs that allows him to escape and find a good home with homely and bookwormish Linda in Minnesota. Years later, the two head off to Rio to bred Blue with his endangered species.  Problems arise when Blue and the fiercely independent Jewel becomes yet again a victim of animal smuggling.Thus begins an adventure of a life time for Blue.

I kicked off my movie watching weekend with Rio the new animated comedy. It was pretty funny (as funny as PG can be). Linda: " Is she a performer?"... Túlio: "No, She's my dentist!". I just thought that line was freaking hilarious because it adds to the stereotype that all Brazilian women are just beautiful.The beauty Brazilian scenery was to die for. If there is one thing this film gets an A+ on is the scenery and information. Carnival! If you enjoyed Madagascar the movie than you should check this film out.
 Rating: 4/5

Reincarnation (Rinne)

Year : 2005
Runtime : 96 Min.
Genre : Horror, Thriller
Director : Takashi Shimizu
Movie Stars : Yûka, Karina, Kippei Shiina
Country: Japan
Language : Japanese
Watch Online: StageVu
Quality: Good-Great
Subtitles: English

The story line was perfect and surprising. You will be kept on the edge of your seat and wondering what will happen next as you realize that what you think is reality is not. With that being said this is not your everyday slasher film or your Friday the 13ths and Scream. In a nutshell it's not mindless killing but has thought and dept. Though, it sticks to the usual supernatural Asian horror theme.

I originally thought the film would be more gory and violence but it's the total opposite. There is barely any blood or gore so all the faint-hearted are safe.

The whole concept of reincarnation in the film is that you are forced to repeat your previous life over and over again. After all, "Death is only the beginning." Nagisa Sugiura lands the role of a little girl murdered by her father in the hotel. Soon Nagisa realizes that the murdered girl is the one from her visions. As filming continues Nagisa progresses through the whole murder as her agent watches an old discovered film of the original murder filmed by the murderer himself. At every turn Nagisa sees the youngest victim and her eerie doll and eventually that victim's brother. Simultaneously a college student studying cryptomnesia and Yuka, a girl who had auditioned for Nagisa's role, discover that they are reincarnated victims as well and met their destined faiths.

Plot
A J-horror film about an Japanese actress having strange visions about a murder that took place over 40 years ago as she stars in the film depicting the murder and all eleven victims.
