Movie: Pokemon White: Victini and Zekrom

I’m writing the blog on White, but Black is the same exact movie, with minor details involving the legendaries. Where you see Reshiram in White, it is Zekrom in black.
It starts off with Ash and his friends (from seasons Black and White) going to a new city, like always. Anyway when they get there, this contest is going on and of course Ash and his friends join.
During this contest, Ash puts in two different pokemon during two different battles that get hit hard and then get healed by Victini (although they don’t see this) and come back stronger. One girl who battles Ash tells him this and they meet Victini, who is adorable and likes Ash a lot.
Ash finds that Victini is very old and is stuck within the boundaries of these pillars because a long time ago the dragon force was out of control and the ruler at the time moved the castle to stable to dragon force, but died in the process and never was ever able to take away the pillars.
Damon wants to restore the balance and he finds (in this movie) Reshiram and has Reshiram work with him. He uses Victini, and hurts him to try to restore the balance. In the process he throws off the dragon force, but doesn’t know about it. Ash finds out through Victini and tries to stop Damon and releases Zekrom to help him.
When Damon finds out, he can’t stop what is happening and the pillars close in around Victini and Ash and to save Ash, Victini destroys the pillars but also destroys himself (or so we think).
The castle lands on the beach, where Ash wanted to take Victini and when he goes to honor Victini he finds Victini.

Happy ending, of course. 

Show: Turbo F.A.S.T.



This is a Netflix show. It’s only had 5 episodes.
It goes into the life of Turbo and the racing snails, that at the end of the movie got boosters to make them fast too. They have a little city that Angelo made Turbo for all his friends, and it seems in every episode someone/thing comes along to try to destroy it. In each episode, Turbo or one of his friends or his brother learn some kind of lesson.








Shows some promise!

So the new episodes came out and me and the boyfriend watched them all in one night... yes, it was that good.

They are just really cute and funny.

They pick up where the movie left off with little short stories. Most are about other creatures challenging Turbo to a race of some sort, and none of the races are ever as simple as the Indy 500, like that sounds easy.




They are good for little kids, but I like to be a little kid at heart a lot.


Movie: Turbo

Family favorite and very very cute.
Who would have thought that snails would want to be fast? Well Theo does want to be fast and he ties to be faster everyday even though the other snails make fun of him.
One day, after being humiliated he ends up getting stuck on a race car and sucked into the engine when nitrous oxide gets into his system and he’s suddenly fast and some strange things happen to him. When him and his brother are caught by a Mexican guy (who works at Dos Bros) and then told to race, Turbo (Theo) shows them just how fast he is, Angelo (the Mexican guy) creates a plan to make him and his brother and the rest of the people in the lot more popular with customers.
His idea leads him to getting Turbo into the Indy500. It’s not easy, but one racer encourages them to let a snail race, his intentions are to crush the snail during the race which Turbo finds out. In the beginning, Turbo is getting overrun and then the other racing snails get him motivated “are you a car?” “then stop racing like one.” After this, Turbo gets his stuff in gear and goes to beat a lot of the racers. In the end, the popular racer causes a serious accident, this is after he cracks turbo’s shell and turbo is running out of power. At this point, Turbo is out of speed and the racer and him are trying to make it across the finish line. His brother gives him the best advice, tuck and roll. Turbo wins!

After a while, Turbo’s shell heals. 

Movie: Mouse Hunt

I just recently saw this movie and I never saw it when I was younger. It’s a very funny movie and kids would probably like it, but it is so highly unrealistic it’s unreal.
It starts out with two brothers at a funeral for their father. Their father ran a warehouse that produced yarn and the youngest brother stayed with that business when the older went on to become a chef.

Ernie, the chef, has the mayor coming to his restaurant, and when he serves the mayor, somehow a roach gets into the food and the mayor dies from it and thus the restaurant is shut down and Ernie is in hiding. Meanwhile Lars is getting an offer from people the buy out the business. The brothers soon discover a mansion their father had that was created by a very important architect and thus they can get a lot of money for it. One tiny little problem, there’s a mouse. This mouse is very smart, and very stubborn and every trick they throw at it, this mouse overturns. They end up destroying the house in the process of catching the mouse, and when they do catch the mouse and thing they get rid of it, it comes back when they are auctioning the house. In the end, their house is destroyed and literally falls apart and when they move into the warehouse, the mouse helps them invent string cheese. 

Movie: Brother Bear

A great Disney movie. Very cute for a family or anyone of any age.
This movie stars three brothers who live in North America way back when. The youngest of the brothers is getting his totem and ends up getting the Bear of Love. When he gets picked on about it from the middle brother and then a bear eats their fish, he goes after the bear and the eldest brother ends up dying and then the youngest goes back after the bear to avenge his brother’s death and he gets turned into a bear after he kills the bear.

When Kenai (the youngest brother) wakes up, he’s a bear and so confused. He thinks that bears are vicious killers. On his way to get the where the lights touch the earth, he runs into a little cub who was separated from his mom and trying to get to the same place as Kenai for the salmon run. Koda teaches Kenai that bears aren’t dangerous, and Kenai teaches Koda that not everything is what it seems. When they get to the Salmon run, Koda tells a story about how he got separated from his mom. The story seems deathly similar to when he went after the bear the first time. He runs off and then he realizes he has to tell Koda the truth. When he does, Koda runs from him into the grasp of Kenai’s brother. Kenai saves Koda even if it would cost him his life when the spirits turn him back into a human. Kenai realizes that Koda needs him and so he is turned back into a bear. 

Movie: Finding Nemo

This has got to be one of the greatest movies of all time. I mean of course it’s up there with Ellen being the voice of Dory.
It starts with two clown fish moving into their new home waiting for their eggs to hatch when a barracuda comes and kills the mom and eats all by one egg, which the father (Merlin) names Nemo.
When a little time has passed, and Nemo is ready to start going to school, Merlin is very protective and even though he lets his son go, he soon finds they are going to the dropoff which is a very dangerous part of the reef. Nemo being tired of his dad’s over protectiveness goes out to be daring and try to prove to his dad he can do things when he gets caught by a dentist (you find this out later) and now Merlin must find his son.
On his chase to follow the boat, Merlin runs into Dory, a very forgetful Tang. They set off on a journey to find Nemo after they are caught by sharks (who are vegetarian) and then find the goggles that have the address of the Dentist on them. They have to go through some dangerous obstacles, like a horde of jellyfish and following the EAC with some sea turtles and getting eaten by a whale and dropped off in Sydney before getting swallowed by a Pelican that brings them to the dentist.
Meanwhile, Nemo wakes up to find himself in a tank full of fish he doesn’t know and in a box he can’t get out of. There is one fish that is from the ocean like him, and Angel fish with a beat up fin (just like Nemo’s small fin). They soon find out that Nemo is Darla’s (the dentist’s niece) birthday present. There’s one problem with this, last year she got a fish for her birthday and shook the fish to death. Plan, make the tank dirty so that the dentist has to take the fish out and put them in bags. They get a rock lodged into the filter with the help of Nemo and then dirty the tank, but when Darla’s birthday arrives, the tank is clean with the addition of a new filter.

When Merlin gets to the dentist office, Nemo is pretend dead in a bag and Merlin thinks his son is dead. Nemo then gets put down a sink drain. Merlin breaks off from Dory and when he leaves she can’t really remember anymore and when Nemo finds her she remembers. After helping a set of fish get out of a net, Merlin learns to be a little more loose with Nemo, and Dory stays with them at the end. 

Shows: The Walking Dead

I didn’t actually think I was going to like this show, which is why I started watching it so late.
I haven’t started watching season 4 yet, but I have seen the first three and I’m only doing a little brief overview. There’s a lot that goes on and a lot of character deaths and adds that happen that can be a little confusing.
Season one: It starts out in a normal world, but then during a police shoot out happened, Rick (the main character) is shot. When he wakes up, the world is changed, people are… umm zombies. After some help he is reunited with his wife and son, but they can’t stay where they are in the mountains. They drive around and find a place that has power that they can stay at (the CDC), but the only guy there has it programmed to blow up. They narrowly get away from it.
Season two: After escaping the blowing up CDC building, the crew has to find a new place to go, they plan to go west, but after a traffic jam and trying to get some resources one of their members goes missing and when trying t find her they end up finding a house with people in it and they stay with them. During this time, Rick’s wife gets pregnant, but it’s a little complicated because while he was “dead” she was sleeping with his best friend… um..? Anyway, this season ends when Rick kills Shane (the best friend) and walkers invade the farm forcing them to leave once again.

Season three: The crew find a home in a Prison and Lori has her baby, but dies during childbirth, and Rick feels bad because he was angry with her when she died. During this time, Andrea (one of the original group) is separated (actually the season finale of season two she gets separated) she pairs with another girl who is wicked with a sword and they find themselves in a peaceful town where the mayor controls everything. Anyway he pretty much doesn’t like the aspect of Rick and his gang so he sets out to have them destroyed. In the end, the mayors psychosis leads him to kill a lot of his townspeople and then Rick recruits the town to come back to the prison with him and his people.
