CWorld (Over Heaven)

This is your friendly neighborhood Crimson here, and I need your help with my school work.

I have a subject called 'Research Project' where you research essentially anything you want and fill out reports on your findings. I've worked on the question Should Nuclear Energy/Weapons be banned internationally? (Because you know, Fallout).

Now, I need your responses as soon as possible because time is starting to be pressed upon me. If you do help me participate, it would be a godsend and you shall earn my respect kind fellow.

Oh god...why am I even doing this?

​

Foodfight! takes place in the supermarket at night after everyone has left. The grocery store transforms into a city for some reason, and from every door of this city comes two types of characters: well-known marketing icons and new characters. This movie was the brainchild of Larry Kasanoff, the director of the first Mortal Kombat movie back in the 90’s. This movie came out in 2012 with an all-star cast that includes Charlie Sheen, Wayne Brady, Hillary Duff, Eva Longoria and Christopher Lloyd (Yes, that Christopher Lloyd). This film was originally supposed to come out over a decade ago, but this seemed to just keep going. After discovering this movie, I came to understand that this movie was damn near unwatchable. No matter how bad you think it is...

...it's even worse.

This animated film is clearly being contrived as a money-making scheme. The directors must have been like "Hey, we can create a poorly constructed CGI movie and force companies pay for the celeb voices in advance by inserting their brands in the film! That must market us a profit while making this movie an absolute hit with kids and adults alike!”

​

The result is this monstrosity. This movie took ten years and $65 million to make. HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET 65 MILLION DOLLARS OUT OF THIS? I’m being serious about this profit, this is ridiculous. It's so bad that while the film been stuck in production limbo for a decade and aged poorly, in that the movie was just thrown out like garbage and left to rot in the sun while it decayed. If you can make it past 20 minutes into this movie, you are a brave soul. Because that’s when things really start to become awful.

What does this animated movie appear in its final form, after a decade of work had been placed into this movie? To begin with, the animation is awful. As Animation is an interest of mine and that I wish to pursue it in a career, this is animation that looks and moves like a broken game on PlayStation 1.Hell, this looks worse than the animation in Busby 3D (And that is saying something). This basically summarizes everything what is wrong with all the modern animated CGI films that try to give this movie that “Pixar” magic, not even being close to attempting what they wished to create. The splatter and particle effects which look like they were made by a student in high school, not by a group of professionals. The characters might appear as three-dimensional but the backgrounds almost look two-dimensional. And they are both almost indistinguishable. The characters are very stiff in their movements, many of them look grotesque and ugly and the remainder of the characters just look disgusting.

​

We then have the writing, or lack of writing. Sometimes, you can understand that for animation to simpily be this bad, you can forgive the animation and trust the movie for its exceptional story. But when you have been working on this movie for this amount of time, you would think the writing would be marginally polished. And despite that this is a kid’s movie, Foodfight! contains so much sexual innuendo it's ungodly and is just overall very inappropriate for children. One female character named Lady X, Eva Longoria's female Hitler styled character switching outfits between a stripper schoolgirl and fetish Nazi and seems to speak in almost entirely in grocery-store/food puns. Even then, Daredevil Dan says to the sultry Lady X in one scene, "Oh Mamacita! Yo, sweetcakes, nice packaging! How about some chocolate frosting? I'd like to butter your muffin!” This is a god-damn kid's movie. I don’t really see any sort of characters here, despite that there are plenty of characters that that are recognizable in that they are mostly real-world creations. There are just empty, hollow animated creations created with the sole purpose to say something that is apparently funny.

The CGI, the story and the one-liners all bear the mark of a complete lack of even the most rudimentary story-telling skills. What seems to pass as a narrative revolves around supermarket brands coming to life at night. Rex Dogtective (yeah, that’s his name) voiced by Charlie Sheen, mourns his lost love but must soon save his supermarket city from the evil, impersonal Brand X who are essentially food Nazi’s. With the help of ... who cares?

​

This movie is essentially product-placement in it is meant to be entertainment aimed at children, and because the message that I was getting from this file amounts to nothing more than "BUY OUR BRANDS, OUR BRANDS LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE OUR BRANDS, EAT OUR FOOD, EAT, EAT, EAT, EAT, EAT..." This is just pure evil.

A fun-fact about this movie is that the biggest reason that this movie was held back for so long was that Threshold Entertainment’s (The company that made it) hard drives were stolen. Lawrence Kasanoff called it an act of "industrial espionage." To those that actually hindered the production of this movie; you have earn’t my respect for saving the intelligence of many children. I think watching twenty minutes of this movie has made me stupider.

Just look at those facial expressions....​

This movie’s very existence and eventual outcome should be a warning to those who have an idea of bold and ambitious opportunities in film. A movie seems to exist solely as a corporate byproduct, fourth-rate animation, and incredibly unforgivable and unnecessary sexual innuendos can be. The fact that Foodfight! is a bad film is an understatement, this is quite literally the worst film I have ever seen. Don't just skip this movie. Burn it and then bury it in a desolate field somewhere or pull a sledgehammer and smash the disc of this movie into total annihilation. It is that bad. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this movie at all, an ugly mess. This is the perfect example of how NOT to make an animated movie. It isn’t even the sort of bad film that is entertaining to watch because of it’s flaws, like Birdemic (Which is at least somewhat watchable). This is just pathetic.

This movie has scored Negative One out of Five Lionheart’s

Allow me to kick-start this review by saying Merry-Christmas and a Happy New Year to everybody on the site. You keep me happy in times of doubt. So, with that now officially out of the way. My previous blog mentioned that I was indeed reviewing Kick-Ass 2, and here you go. Freshly baked and straight out of the oven. This will be a short review due to events happening at this moment.



With his heroic antics having inspired a citywide wave of masked vigilantes, Kick-Ass/ Dave returns ranks to help clean up the streets. With Hit Girl/Mindy retiring from the super-hero business and trying to become a normal teenager and Kick-Ass fighting alongside a super-hero team, former Red Mist, has decided to become a super villain, calling himself The Motherf***er and forming an army of Super-Villains.



The characters of the first film were iconic characters of the series. You remember Hit-Girl and Big Daddy fighting crime *extreme violence implied* against the D'Amico’s and their army of criminals. You even remember the victims of the first film, from the guy blowing into a gory mess in a life sized microwave to the guy being handcuffed inside of his car and hearing his screams of agony and watching him be crushed by the car crusher. I remembered the original because of these characters, the characters may be familiar in some ways but the writer and director have changed, and not to any great advantage to the film. The sequel does have some development of the characters, but nothing truly memorable. One really good thing about this film is Chloë Moretz's Hit-Girl as she steals the spotlight, again. Hit Girl’s martial-arts scenes look terrifically good. Her character is not only well made, but her complex sub-plot in this movie is also a very interesting concept to deal with. As she enters high school at the age of 15, Hit-Girl finds that despite her warrior skills and physical strength becoming greater and greater with every passing day, she is placed under pressure to abandon everything and be a normal, simpering teenager interested only in clothes and boys. That was what she promised her deceased father, and what she now has to promise her new guardian, Marcus. This sub-plot is typical in your standard classic teen-movie plot, but while Hit-Girl could take on everyone and everybody and look damn good in doing so, teenage and social norms have made her weak and pathetic, while secretly boiling with frustration. I liked it, despite the Mean Girls references I was tempted to write. Kick-Ass 2 actually shows us her blossoming adolescence… defined on her terms and with none of the misogynistic judgment with which most movies handle women's desires

Jim Carrey is a huge actor to have taken interest in this movie, and his character was also quite clever but also a letdown.. The role was underwritten and amounts to nothing more than an extended cameo in an honest sense. Speaking of cameo’s, Iain Glen has a cameo as an imprisoned gangster who created an tense scene during his short time on screen, and magician and actor Andy Nyman appears as a bad guy insidiously named the Tumor (I thought that this was clever).

Screenplay is taken up once again with this series. It’s oblivious that the first film was, even by Hollywood standards, extremely violent. This takes the blood and violence from the first film, crushes them like paper, throws them around the room and then spread out to remove the creases while still trying to retain its style. It is a sadistic and bloody event. This violence is not a bad thing as it is obviously intended for an adult audience, but this is quite high on the scale of Hollywood Violence.

Likewise, the endless scenes of bloodshed and dismemberment: Wadlow has a feel for action – and one speeding van shoot-out is great. But you can’t help feeling this sequel kicks less ass than it should. This movie is watchable, but did not live up towards the hype that it was reaching. A good movie if you have nothing to watch and you have free time.

This movie has scored Three out of Five Lionheart’s

This is your friendly neighborhood Crimson wishing all of you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. I will be quite busy in this time working on several projects that you should find interesting.

Hellsing: Guardians of Everypony

​

With the success of my previous Downfall series, I have continued to work on working to make a parody universe with an Anime, that anime being Hellsing. Episode One, Part One should be up within the coming weeks and all involved should enjoy this treat of a series.

Crim at the Movies (Smeel created by Dynasty Charge. Huge thanks BTW )

​

I’m currently reviewing Kickass 2 for all of you to enjoy. Other Movies have been mentioned previously on a movie thread, but all reviews have been lost due to my laptop being wiped. Therefore, I will continue from where I have left off.

That is really all at this moment of time. If you live in the northern hemisphere and it’s snowing, consider yourself lucky. At least it snow’s in your country.

This is Crimson, signing off.

Yep, what the title said.

Going away hundreds of kilometers to seemingly the middle of nowhere with no internet access for about Three days starting tomorrow. I'll be back by Sunday. For RP's that I have created or apart of, feel free to continue.

Also. Hellsing Everypony is being worked on, but under a really hectic time frame due to previous and present events. Sorry about the wait, episode one should be up when possible. It's about half done.

Until then, see you guys again soon.

(I was going for a mega release, but since my laptop got wipped, that isn’t happening. So instead, I’ll be presenting some new movies to rant or praize. I promise not to write one every couple months now )

”Danger is real, but fear is a choice”. This is the tagline for After Earth: A movie behind the minds of Will Smith and M. Night Shyamalan with a heavy reliance on technology for the apparent success for this movie. Allow me to delve into this multi-million dollar epic and basically tell you why this movie is well...terrible.



After Earth is set in the far future where humanity has polluted the Earth to such an extent that we needed to evacuate, does that remind you of a certain Pixar movie from 2008? Humanity has settled on an earth like planet called Nova Prime, where we humans seem to be doing quite well for ourselves. Until...you know. Aliens. I won’t say anymore about the basic story in this paragraph, but if you’ve seen the trailers, it’s basically Will Smith and Jaden Smith being stuck on a planet and are trying to get off before they eventually die, average plot concept done poorly.



The plot points themselves are a bad video game. Earth gets cold, so Jaden Smith needs to reach a hotspot or else he’ll freeze to death. Earth’s atmosphere is bad, so he needs to take medication to breathe. That thing on your wrist, that’s a communication and it’s the only way he can communicate. A painkiller with bad side effects. As you watch each of them, it feels like Shyamalan is shoving crap so far up your kazoo that it feels like the audience is stupid. Of course the communicator gets broken; of course he will run out of breathing medication, foreshadowing is just ridiculous in this movie. It makes you feel like an Idiot.

Cypher Raige (Will Smith) and Kitai Raige (Jaden). When you hear that the protagonists name is "Cypher Raige", you know it’s time to walk out of the goddamn cinema. Within the first five minutes, you start to notice that the main character, Jaden Smith, is actually stupid on purpose. He’s survived a crash landing on a planet where everything can kill you; every decision is life and death, survival is a priority and so forth. So why not go throw goddamn rocks at giant killer monkeys, shout at giant predators to simply “go away” and generally disobey the orders of your superior, an extremely experienced commanding officer and your own father? Where the script writers even trying with the characters? Isn’t Kitai a solider who has undergone, considering he wants to become a Ranger, extreme physical training and survival and combat skills? Is Jaden Smith actually stupid? Christ.



Another problem is the interaction of characters. It’s just Jaden Smith wandering across a large seemingly endless Jungle, taking to stuff like Clint Eastwood talking to an empty chair, and talking to his Father who shows almost absolutely no true emotion during the entire period of the movie. Not to mention that Cypher is in another location all together, so we’re stuck with Kitai for a good 80% of the movie and Jaden’s Smith’s voice. This is almost what instantly turned me off. Jaden Smith, a teenager that sounds that has a South African accent mixed with a British accent and speaks on a similar tone as Lil Wayne. He’s extremely annoying to listen to. You’ll be lucky to even understand him in pretty much every scene of the film, since Jaden can’t annunciate.

The only good thing about this movie is the technology presented in the movie. Holographic x-ray machines, a tablet that can roll up like a cloth, a spaceship shaped like a stingray, it’s all there. Jaden himself wears a suit with an adaptable camouflage. It’s normally a brown suit, but turns black when it sees motion or turns a ghostly pale when Jaden is injured. This is really the only reason to go see this film, but dont expect anything story-wise.

This is terrible. I’m not saying that it’s unwatchable, but it’s very close.

This movie has scored One and a half out of Five Lionhearts

So here’s the deal...

Parent’s are accusing me of looking at porn on my laptop, and are now not allowing me to use it for myself after my homework is finished. They are forcing me to use the family one, almost under constant supervision with it being almost five feet away from the kitchen. With my time for me being allowed on EP being close to none, especially for responding for RP's, i’ve decided to put myself in hiatus for a couple days.

I should be back by Monday, when school holidays ends. I can just use EP non-stop on the school laptops, with me working my “magic” upon the IT guys and their laptop surveillance systems (It's not hacking BTW). Oh, and i don’t get sidetracked by EP, i still have work to do !

Anyway, see you guys. Eventually, i hope.

I joined the forum exactly two years ago today. I never knew exactly what to expect due to me becoming a new member, but i eventually set across a long road that would led to the person i have become today.

Since October 6th 2011, I have fallen in love with the community here and I proudly like to say that this place is my second home. To all of the people i have met, to all the people who i have called “Distant” brothers and sisters. I thank you, you guys are amazing.

Thank you

Because there hasn't been any news about me and my reviews on the movies you like, love, hate and so forth. I've been writing for the past three months to release five different reviews at once !

So if your wondering why there has been no news about C.A.M, that is why.

Expect something soonish...

Just returned an hour ago from my holiday. Expect me online for the rest of the week. And to you guys who have been waiting for me to post, i'll start tonight when i will continue Two Kingdoms and my FOE RP.

Just a short post saying that im back. Cya soon.

(Just a short one guys. Having exam's very soon and i need time to study. Sorry for those waiting for another review)

Moon Nazis. A popular conspiracy theory and a good idea in comic book stories and science fiction. It was known that prior to and during world war II, Germany supposedly tried successful attempts to develop advanced aircraft or spacecraft to further assert the post-war survival of these craft in secret underground bases, such as a famed one in Antarctica.



Iron Sky is set around that idea above, except on the moon. During the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers. In 2018, American astronauts put their Lunar Lander just a tiny bit too close to the Nazi Base and discovers the Nazi stronghold. At around this time, The Moon Führer decides that the opportunity of retaking Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Two Nazi officers, the ruthless Klaus Adler (Götz Otto) and a very attractive and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to prepare the invasion. What follows is some sort of indoctrination, science, a stupid yet entertaining portrayal of the US president who resembles Sarah Palin and honestly the darkest but also one of the best endings that I have ever seen in a movie. Seriously, I could write an entire paragraph about the ending.

Let’s get down to business, shall we?



Even though it had a budget of only $8 million, and is technically classified as a ‘B’ movie, the Nazis invading from the moon concept is about a billion light years ahead of most ‘A’ movies in terms of inventiveness and imagination. Look at some of the latest Sci Fi movies from last year which sadly focus on Aliens and you will have an answer. Directors are not experimenting with enough ideas, with a rare few surpassing the norm and has scored well. Luckily, Directors are having good ideas that appeal to their fans again and will make the remainder of this year good. If this movie were to be a success and if it was not shot down by critics, this would have revolutionized the way films are made and given the ordinary movie fan a chance for creative input in future productions. This movie was, in its simplest terms, the people’s movie. The sky was the limit for it in terms of potential success, and the fact that this was shot down makes me quite upset and infuriated. The script is sharp, funny and has several great and references. Such as ‘no fighting in the war room’, which is from Dr Strangelove and the famous Hitler rant scene reference from Downfall. Götz Otto is even in Downfall where he played Strumbannführer (Equivalent to Major in terms of military rank) Otto Gunsche. When you tend to stick on the internet for an extremely long time, you seem to know these things.



This is quite a good concept for a movie. It’s presented well, looks handsome and its visually impressive. This movie would be good if it were to be funnier, sometimes having a lack of creative jokes. To those who have rated this movie negatively, try to understand the background of this movie and you will understand why it’s so good. I have never seen a film like this before. The concept is fantastic and original. The acting is superb. The special effects are awesome. The film is plagued with good and clever humor.

The film is well on its way to become a cult classic.

This movie has received Four and a half out of Five Lionhearts.

(Ladies and gentlemen, Crimson has returned for more movie goodness and ranting about movies that seem to be awful. This review will be far from it, I actually went to the movies to see this with my girlfriend. If you still don’t know from the title what this review is about, it’s time to leave and be escorted by the butler. I would have loved to end this review with the first scene with Mandarin, telling the president that “He’ll never see me coming.” But since this is a new movie, i cannot end it like so.)

It’s time to review Iron Man numero threeo. It is set just after the Avenger’s and their victory in New York, Tony Stark (Robert Downy Jr) has returned to a relaxing life of being a multi billionaire and living in his mansion. As a series of panic attacks and threats from the one we know as the Mandarin, these attacks reveals Tony’s darker side. The movie’s main plot is based on the comic-book’s Extremis storyline. We see Stark against a small squad of Terminator like super-soldiers who can regenerate body parts and are physically stronger than their human brethren. Those guys are jerks.



Iron man, of course, is in the much acclaimed Iron Man franchise led by the comic book superpower Marvel. The release of the first Iron Man back in 2008 sent everybody into a box office frenzy, which then led to two more sequels. In this last chapter of the story, Anthony Edward "Tony" Stark reveals his darker side in this movie, while delivering some very funny lines for a nicely executed comedic effect. Transformation after transformation in his suits, we begin to understand that this movie was not supposed to be like one and two, but in a whole new level of atmosphere on its own. As said by ‘Rhodey’ (War Machine for those who don’t know) in the movie for why the Avengers are not dealing with the Mandarin situation, it’s just that “This isn’t superhero business. It’s American business.” This is one of the reasons that the movie was such a thrill to watch, it’s that nobody is having a whinge about Tony’s super powered friends not being in this sequel.

The acting is great in this movie. We see Tony, who when stripped away from his suits and fighting against our Extremis buddies and Mandarin. He’s on the run, backed into corner and pausing between quips to suffer breathless anxiety attacks. Downey Jr has his wisecracking jokes, some gags here and there. Even some Downton Abbey references are done by Downey Jr. This is by far, Downey Jr’s best Solo outing in his career so far.

Robert Downy Jr is personally one of my favourite actors. He’s funny, charismatic, quite good looking for his age and looks like Mr. House from Fallout New Vegas. Don’t believe me? This will settle my point.


And don’t get me started on how well Ben Kingsley played his difficult role of The Mandarin. He is what I like to call a ‘Super-Terrorist’, because simply branding him a terrorist is an understatement. He decides that America needs to be educated in some ‘lessons’. In the comics, he is a martial artist with super powers who wears magic rings. While a close-up shot shows that his figures have those sinister rings, there is a surprise for the character that will not be spoiled. Kingsley’s performance is beautiful in this, and people will be talking about it for ages to come.


Some performances however come close to hit the hype, but are just off. The short screentime of Tony’s ex who just happens to be a genius botanist and Miguel Ferrer as the US Vice-President. These are not bothersome however, when we see a blockbuster that mixes up MacGyver style DIY weapons, political conspiracies and outstanding special effects.

Also, the fantastically well made ‘barrel of monkeys’ scene. You’ll understand when the scene comes on.....

Since my last Superhero movie was The Dark Knight Rises, you might expect that this movie is basically a Marvel version of that. It is honestly far from it. Even in the most serious scenes, it ends with some big laughs to level out some of the depressing moments. In the Dark Knight Rises, it’s just non stop drama with the best Bane in existence. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but considering the tone of the movie, it’s what’s Marvel is good at. Making fantastic films about their characters that have Drama, Laughs, Action and many other elements. This movie can make you excited one moment, then laughing the next. The Avengers did that and they have scored themselves a very impressive set of reviews in the process and in my Top 10 list as well. Im sure the high majority of Marvel movies have scored well on reviews, but we’ll see how Thor: The Dark World turns out first.



That being said. Downy Jr is the shining star in this movie. His entire career since his downfall during the mid 90’s to about 2004 is one of the best comeback stories in acting history. It’s interesting just how successful he has been when, more than ten years ago, many predicted that he would not survive after a five year period of mayhem of drug processions and having run in’s with the Law. This movie is the perfect ending in the series.

If this just happens to be Downy Jr’s last solo outing, then he made one hellva exit.



This movie has scored Four out of Five Lionhearts.

It’s your friendly Everypony neighborhood Lionheart here. I’m just writing about your weekly doze of movie reviews from me. I have decide to abolish the ‘Once a week’ idea of posting reviews due to the structure of my timetable and my laziness to write in general. I will get around to movie reviews, but they would not be as frequent.

Oh, and I’m also going to introduce a funny thing such as “Favourite villains”, “Best soundtrack”, “Most disappointing deaths”, etc onto the review list. Just give me a shoutout if you want a certain topic for me to rant about. And if you want me to do something really special , i might do a rare review on my favourite gaming moments since it kinda counts a movie (in terms of the experience.)

Well, that's me done for a few days. I have a metric butt-ton of homework to do so i cannot post any reviews (again...) this week. Have i ever mentioned how much i hate school and it’s demanding list of work....

Anyway, hope to see you again soon. Until then, Kee’lah Selai.

If your a Fallout nut like me, you will understand that Fallout 4 is going to be amazing. The game is loved by fan's for being violent and it's famous for this. Games like Fallout are praised for the award winning storyline, gameplay, etc. And it is honestly the best game series that i have ever played, followed by Mass Effect and Portal.

And yet, people want to change it to make it friendlier to families but still contain it's gameplay and graphics.

[video=youtube;rYbetvkPA6I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYbetvkPA6I[/video]

And how can it be made friendlier to a family audience. Click on this link to find out a report done by a website known as societyandreligion who questioned such a awful thing. http://societyandreligion.com/bethesda-family-friendly-violent-fallout-4/

My reaction to the report: [video=youtube;umDr0mPuyQc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umDr0mPuyQc[/video]

Allow me to make my point perfectly clear to those who want this change. This is a awful idea, just awful. This disgust's me to a large extent as this article caused a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of gamers are commenting on such 'family fallout' articles in the same disgust that i fell about this idea and that they all point out that it's violence is what has made the series known. The very idea makes me want to puke.

If these changes were to be made, it would be a one way trip for the franchise to die. I would leave the fallout fandom and go somewhere else, like another fandom within my interests. Bethesda should know that such changes are disastrous and would mortally would their own fanbase. If you want a fallout game that to me is "Child Friendly", your better off getting a Wii. The game is mature for obvious reasons.

If the series were to head down this path, it would be suicidal for Bethesda. I rest my case.
