Tooth Fairy [2010]


Tooth Fairy is a Comedy | Family | Fantasy movie that was released in January 2010. A tooth fairy is not a bad idea, especially when, as a kid, you were brainwashed of some fantasy that would somehow excite and scare you at the same time. But having a former WWE undisputed champion being the winged kiddie creature is one super-fantasy, funny, and egoistic movie.

What this film failed is that, it cannot arouse emotions when some turning point scenes are not performed publicly or with hundreds of spectators. The scene of finally flying would some how be dull if it was not done in the ice hockey arena in the middle of an intense game. It was somewhat too showy that fairies do fly. Also, fairies this time were athletic, from the main cast whom became the personal trainer of his feebly assistant fairy who became agile after a few days of cute training. But, well, fairies can do everything though magic - spell would rather be attractive.

As always, when The Rock does his movies, the sporty appearance and muscled charm of this Pro Wrestler turned actor do the trick of having a storyline of arrogance overwhelming a famous sport icon leading to loss of friends, career, and family be worth watching. Honestly, I wanted to ask Dwayne if he actually believed in the tooth fairy when he was young - how about 'till today?

This is a kiddie movie good for pastimes over some 2 liters of soda and 24" mozzarella pizza - with the kids of course. I'll have a 4/10 rating for this film.

New Moon [2009]


New Moon is a Drama | Fantasy | Romance movie and was released in November 2009. The movie is more of a romantic film rather than a contest between a vampire and werewolf eying the same pretty girl. Although the competition amid the two boys, well actually the other one is quite the teen a hundred years ago, may incite a raging battle between two ancient archenemies, the very obvious - vampires vs werewolves, the love story still went afloat.

Edward's actions of leaving Bella behind may seemed to be a lame move, unless he had found another love or had succumbed to Jacob's charm and benevolence towards Bella. Being overwhelmed from the heard rumors of Bella's death ending in taking up Edward's own life may portray love, failure, helplessness, and insignificance but it was Edward's lack of strength, fervor, and balls that may helped the events occur. The reason of salvaging Bella's life from getting involved in the vampire affairs may seemed to be a manly and unselfish Edward's excuse. Thanks to Bella's wavering heart (or shall I say "girl's nature"), Jacob got his chances on strengthening their relationship. But it was also the reason why Edward was saved from his wrecked heart to cease from suffering.

This movie has been nominated and won several awards such as the Saturn Awards, Empire Awards, Kids' Choice Awards, MTV Movie Awards, and many more. This is nice love story of torn between two monsters epic. You can't expect to have deadly display of strengths and prowess on scene, but a tug-of-war of strings for the heart of a lady. I'll have a 6/10 rating for this movie.

Bigmoneyptc Is A Scam

It has been more than 2 months since I had personally requested a cashout from this PTC site. It was created in May 02, 2009 and would expire on May 02 this year. It has been 9 months since it was launched and has paid more than $230,000.00, Really? Maybe.. Bigmoneyptc is a known PTC site since it is one of the PTC sites that promised for a payment of $1 per ad viewed. Which, by far, exceeded all offers of other PTC sites around. Sounds good, right?

NO! That sounds very good.. I know right away that this is very suspicious, but maybe i was just so curious or was just trying to do something, lol , so I tried it anyway, so as to satisfy my hard-headed feature.. ;) To make the story short, I made it to having cashout and was waiting for 60 days (the length of time to wait for the cold $1,000 USD to arrive), but not even a cent was sent.

What I did?
I logged in today for the last time and viewed my payment history. No surprise, nothing has changed since the day I have requested this cashout.


PROOFS:
  • cashout not given
  • no response from staff for assistance
  • no other payment proofs and mostly negative criticisms
  • owner, admin, and staffs are unknown
  • an email which is so much alike with that email of another PTC site

This is weird and is very doubtful. How can two different PTC sites have the same email format, the same content and context, and have the same offer? Look at the two images below and see it for yourself.

Click image(s) to view original size.


Note: Encircled are the differences of the two emails, with date and subject as given.

DECISION:
I'm not going to recommend this PTC site to anybody, unless you're a hard-headed as me. And, I will support those that denounces this PTC site. Bigmoneyptc is a scam, and maybe Grandptc too, which is so very highly possible. Also, I will no longer waste something on Grandptc, I'm really not that hard-headed, lolz.. ;)

Berserk Continues

Berserk (ベルセルク, Beruseruku) is a long-running dark fantasy manga series written and illustrated by Kentaro Miura. He premiered a prototype of Berserk in 1988 and the first volume of the manga was published on November 26, 1990 by Hakusensha in its Jets Comics collection.

The setting is inspired by medieval Europe. It centers around the life of Guts, an orphaned mercenary warrior, and Griffith, the leader of a mercenary band called the Band of the Hawk (鷹の団, Taka no Dan). As he ages, Guts changes from a solitary boy into a man who realizes the value of camaraderie. The story contains elements of both fantasy and horror, as it explores both the best and worst of human nature. Both the manga and anime are noted for their heavy violence. It was adapted as an anime, Kenpū Denki Berserk (ベルセルク剣風伝奇, Beruseruku Kenpū Denki), which was produced by Oriental Light and Magic and aired on Nippon Television from October 07, 1997 until March 31, 1998. It ran for 25 episodes and covered the first arc: Golden Age.

This seminal dark fantasy manga, Berserk, is set to resume regular serialization in Young Animal after a long break. Fans are delighted about this comeback and hopefully continues with what happened with Guts and Casca. Young Animal 21, will go on sale on the 24th, at the same time as the 33rd volume of the manga. Young Animal will also carry a commemorative cover by Hachimitsu to Clover mangaka 羽海野チカ / Chika Umino to mark the occasion.

  • Kenpuu Denki Berserk (Japanese)
  • Берсерк (Russian)
