Aug. 9, 2016 The Haunting in Connecticut: I saw this movie in Oct. 2015.
"After a family is forced to relocate for their son's health, they begin experiencing supernatural behavior in their new home, and uncover a sinister history. "

Why?: I watched it for one of my favorite actors Kyle Gallner (Beaver on Veronica Mars). I wrote about meeting a guy named Mark and telling him he looks like him.
I also like to watch scary movies sometimes.
Pros:
1. Kyle Gallner. He was good in the role and so were the other actors.
2. It was creepy. It had a few jumps.
Cons: None. It was set in 1987, and I like movies set in the present.
Comparsions: This movie reminded me of The Amityville Horror about a family moving into a home that's haunted.
The Amityville Horror (2005)
Directed by Andrew Douglas. With Ryan Reynolds, Melissa George, Jimmy Bennett, Jesse James. Newlyweds are terrorized by demonic forces after moving into a larg...

Would you watch it again?: There is a low chance I would. It was average.
South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut: I saw the first 10 min. of this movie in Sept. 2014. I was offended by it and didn't like it so I stopped. I was never really a fan of the show. I watched some eps starting in 2010. MuchMusic started playing it and I watched it with my brother. The show is alright, but I didn't like this movie, or at least the beginning of it.
Aug. 10, 2016 Pacific Rim: I recorded this from Showcase and saw it in Feb. 2016.
"As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse."
Why?: I like action movies.
Pros:
1. The lead actor Charlie Hunnam is good looking in this movie.
2. The characters and actors are good in this film too. Stacker (Idris Elba) and Mako (Rinko Kikuchi).
3. Good ethnic diversity.
4. The special effects and visual effects are good.
5. Good lines: "Fortune favors the brave." I'll put that in my inspirational quotes.
6. I like the action scene where they fight with sticks. I also like a fist fight scene later on. There is a spectacular fight scene with the big robots and sea creatures at the end.
7. There is good drama, suspense.
8. Unpredictable around the end. It shows you things you have never seen.
9. I like the song at the end:
Cons: None.
Comparisons: Godzilla, Transformers where big monsters and robots fight. It's also like disaster movies like San Andreas where there is lots of destruction.
Would you watch it again?: I would like to watch it again. This is a solid and average movie.
Aug. 12, 2016 Battleship: I saw this in Feb. 2016. I recorded it on Showcase.
"A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals."
Pros:
1. The line "Adversity is the state which a man most easily becomes aquatinted with himself."
2. There are a lot of big names in the movie.
3. Some good comedy like at the beginning where the lead Alex (Taylor Kitsch) gets a burrito in a closed convenience store. There is some comedy here and there.
4. Lots of action like explosions, shootouts.
5. Good special effects.
6. Good drama, conflict, and tension because they're being attacked by aliens. The world could be destroyed.
7. I did like Sam (Brooklyn Decker) who plays the girlfriend of Alex. However, she is more than that. She is a physical therapist, and not only a beauty. She is nice and works to help this army veteran Mick (Gregory D. Gadson) who has his 2 legs amputated. Dadson was good in his role.
8. Good ethnic diversity.

Cons:
1. It was kind of too long. That's my opinion, though I'm sure some would say it was a good amount of time.
2. I don't like how Alex is nervous of asking Sam's dad for permission to marry his daughter. I remember a long time ago, I was reading some comments on the internet about the Alias pilot, and Danny was asking for Sydney's dad permission to marry his daughter. Someone on the internet said that it was sexist.
Would you watch it again?: It was average at best, mediocre at worse. There is a low chance I would watch the movie again.
May 13, 2017 The Cabin in the Woods: I watched this movie in Feb. 2017.
"Five friends go for a break at a remote cabin, where they get more than they bargained for, discovering the truth behind the cabin in the woods."
Why?: It was because it's from Buffy writer Drew Goddard and Buffy creator Joss Whedon. I see Goddard also wrote for Alias too. I read reviews that it was good. I like scary movies.
Pros:
1. It was scary. There were a few jumps. There is a part where Marty is standing outside, and someone is coming up behind him.
2. It was very creative with the plot twists. You think it's about 5 friends who go into a remote cabin, and it turns the story upside down. The whole time you're watching, you're like: "Why are those scientists and lab people watching?"
3. It has some funny moments like Tom Lenk (Andrew from Buffy) on.
Spoiler alert:
Marty: I'm on a reality TV show show. My parents are going to think I'm such a burnout.
Cons: There is a lot of profanity and it's gruesome. It can be too scary for some people.
Would you watch it again?: It was good at best and average at worst. I would watch it again with someone.

Sorority Murder: This is a TV movie I watched in May 2017.
"Girl anxious to get away & start new at college. She's vulnerable. Grows suspicious of everyone & everything when each one of her newfound "friends" seemingly suspects her for the murder."
Why?: The story seems interesting. I like mystery.
Pros:
1. Scarlett Byrne (from The Vampire Diaries) was good in the lead. I find that Nicole Munoz (young Lily from Once Upon a Time) was good in it. I had to look them both up because they looked familiar.
2. It was unpredictable. I didn't know who was the killer or why.
3. I did like how the mom played by Sarah- Jane Redmond was pretending to be drunk as a distraction.
4. The drama, conflict, and tension was average.
Cons: It was kind of boring. I guess it is aimed more at young women in teens and 20s. I feel like I am too old for it.
Comparisons: I wrote about this before on my blog:

A murder at a sorority: I remember watching the first 2 episodes of the TV show Scream Queens about a sorority.
"A semi-anthology series that centers on returning characters being terrorized by a serial killer in different locations, including a university and a hospital."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4145384/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Then I remembered watching a TV movie starring Leighton Meester (before she got big on the TV show Gossip Girl).
The beginning where something looks serene and calm, and then when you see the whole picture, its scary:
At the beginning of Sorority Murder, it was a beautiful forest....until you see someone is hung from a tree.
At the beginning of The Haunting in Connecticut, it is a pictures of people....until you see they are with dead bodies.
Would you watch it again: I would say it is average at best, and mediocre at worst. I would not watch it again.

Here is a 1min and 30 sec sketch comedy video. It is kind of funny and not offensive.

My week:
Jul. 10, 2017 Work: I didn't post my 3 emails/ blog posts last week. That's why I'm posting it now.
Last week from Jul. 2-Jul. 8, I was really busy with work. I worked 5 days at my restaurant because we had a big event.
Ande Anderson: I was also busy listening to Ande Anderson and her telesummit called the Success Conference: Be Do Succeed. It's about entrepreneurship, money mindset. The interviews are like 45min- 1hr long. They are up for a limited time.
Good weather: I also wanted to be outside and read the newspaper. It was warm.

Jul. 6, 2017 Woman claps back hard when sexually assaulted by man in bar: Nothing beats the fury felt after a man touches your body without so much of a hint of permission. Otherwise known as, well, sexual assault, many of us simply move away for fear of the situation escalating or them getting aggressive. But not one woman, Krystal Olsen, from Arizona who, when she was allegedly groped by a random guy, fought back.
“This guy grabbed my ass, I dragged him out in a choke hold, he slammed me into a wall,” the bartender wrote on Twitter.
“And is crying like a b*tch when he got arrested.”
Tweeting her story along with a photograph of the man sat on the floor in tears, Krystal Olsen’s story has since gone viral with 80,000 retweets and 358,000 likes.
