Just for fun-Star Wars prequels rip

Yep, not this again right? Well, most of my speech I'm going to give are nothing short of criticism for the prequels, and most of all, its my opinion. So turn back now if you don't want to read any of this. But once again, its kinda of for fun and George Lucas knows what he did to his own franchise. So the original trilogy gave us something ahead of its time, but importantly, its redeemable quality was the OT was very entertaining, well thought, great characters, and adventurous--- Long before the whole Americans being rebellious idea and the prequels being some sort of government political stance. Without further delay

Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace


Pros: Great Lightsaber fighting, Darth Maul, and pretty much it.


Cons: Jar Jar, Terrible dog fighting scene (Naboo Star fighting segment), Pod Racing was bleh, un-memorable characters, forgettable storyline.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones


Pros: Yoda fighting being a novelty. Cool looking Jango Fett.


Cons: Hayden Christiansen, more forgettable characters and storyline, Hayden and Padme love had no chemistry and was very forced, Anakin is very coward like, Boba Fett is annoying, terrible light saber fight scenes, R2 can all of a sudden fly, comedy scenes very poor, dumb title name, very boring overall, and no dog fighting scenes.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith


Pros: Its the end of Lucas's cash whoring business....for now. Nice throwback to A New Hope towards the end. The extermination of the Jedi's were sad but kinda cool. Millenium Falcon can be seen and it looks better than the rest of the movie.

Cons: Hayden Christensen (again), more dumb and unwatchable love scenes, very dumb dialogue, Anakin's fall to darkside was poorly done and not plausible, everything was rushed due to the first two screwing everything up, R2 can fly again, Dog fighting scenes were terrible, losing the will to live (nuff said), Jar Jar doesn't die, first half very boring, and Darth Vader being a sissy.

Well, I think Episode 3 was the best of the prequels, but what was probably screwed was Episode I and II should had merge together to become one film and Episode II should had focused more on Anakin's darkside. III should had been where he totally had no hope after years of trying. He just became evil instantly in episode III. Its so sad Lucas can't direct worth for jack, nor can he write. Attack of the Clones is probably the only SW film in my book left forgotten. I seriously did not see how this was an improvement over Episode I. Okay, well Episode I did suck for the most part had it not been for the multiple fight scenes with Darth Maul. II just flat out dragged and the fight scenes were hardly entertaining. III showed a lot of promise, but due to Episode I and II telling a story that nobody cared about, the damage was done. Overall, Lucas screwed up. He learned nothing from the directors who did Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi. Now that's how you tell and end a story.

Kissaten Coffee House

Besides Sinclair Library in UH Manoa, Kissaten Coffee House is the place to get your study, Coffee, and snack fix after hours. This place is actually 24 hrs and is located right beneath the KHON-2 building, which is also across Ala Moana shopping center. I actually studied from 10 PM to 3 in the morning! How awesome is that! Here are some pics. Got to try the Hamakua Tomato Bisque, its really good. The Kissaten Melt is also delicious.

Praise the Lord!

Just feel like saying it. No matter how up and down I go, I know he is trying with his angels to lift me up. My love fails but his doesn't. I thank the Lord that he has managed to plug the holes in my life and made me a stronger person. I love him and I can't wait to enter the kingdom of Heaven and sing praises and dance for him. Laborers are a few so I better keep moving and help him establish his goals! Hallelujah!

My Transformers classics page!

Just for kicks.

Some updates and bored edition 100th edition

School is alright though I messed up my chance to get an A for the 1st exam on Chemistry. Hopefully, I got a B at least. I think my other classes, I'm doing okay. I am totally overloaded with Science courses. I got to get back more into prayer with the Lord. Maybe school is not for me overall.

Okay, so the Avengers movie is coming out soon and I have pretty much watch Thor over dozen times. Love the music and the story is not bad. I am going to rate and critique the movies that pre-date the Avengers; namely The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron-Man 1 and 2, Thor, and Captain America.

The Incredible Hulk ( 2008) : Much better than John Woo's 2003 adaptation imo. Still, the movie lacks when it comes to story, but I think this is what we wanted to see: Hulk Smash! Sad that Edward Norton will no longer play the Hulk in the team-up flick, but hopefully, Mark Ruffalo will do a better job. 7/10

Iron Man: Good adaption though I would had wanted to see the Mandarin. I felt that the villain in this movie was un-interesting. So un-interesting that I have no idea what he was called again except Tony Stark's uncle. The origin is one of the best since Spider-man (2002). 9/10

Iron Man 2: This film somewhat suffers the Spider-man 3 syndrome where there seems to be multiple story and character arcs that are spliced into one film. Its okay but no where near as enticing as the first. This film also features a badly ruined Black Widow where she almost does not resemble her comic-book counterpart. No Russian accent (yes, this is part of her defining personalities, sue me!), no real spy skills, and just no ambiguity. And the sad fact is that she is part of the Avengers in the next film. Hopefully, they make her more interesting the next time around. 6/10

Thor : Hmm... Yes features a *sarcasm* All seeing eye Odin *ends sarcasm*. Anyways, Good flick. Love the soundtrack, the characters were good... the non-human characters that is. Wish the whole thing just happened in Asgard instead of making up a phony story about Thor being human and learning to grow up. Still, the film was done great and after seeing the Avengers series (2010), what on earth did they do the Jotuns? They are so puny in this film and beings that are in serious need of a steak or two. Maybe that's how bad they are suffering. Anyways, Thor is a delight to watch and the action could be better but overall its a good film. Oh, look for the costume-less Hawk-eye cameo when Thor tries to retrieve his hammer somewhere in the middle of the film. 8.5/10.

Captain America: The First Avenger : Ah.... Good for what it is. Great to see Chris Evans playing a mature version of himself rather than some goofball in most of his films. Wait! Was that really Chris Evans playing Steve Rogers? Wow, I'm really amazed. Not bad though his origin isn't that interesting, but the Captain is portrayed really well here. Next up, Avengers! 8/10.

Antman and Wasp: Yeah, you wish this happened. Sadly, Antman who is one of the founding members will not be in the upcoming film nor will his wife Janet aka Wasp be in it. Yeah, don't know why they did this. Well, same goes for Black Panther. I guess Black Widow just took all their spots. They needed a female in the team so that's why they put her in there, but seriously Wasp would had been more interesting, but maybe someday.

That's it for now. The films did a fairly good job in shaping the characters and hopefully, Avengers won't tank since the Mandarin is still not the villain but Loki again. Rest well folks and Jesus saves!

About to start school and maybe some other rant.

First off, I'm about to start school so I hope I get something out of it. If school is not for me, I pray that the Lord can help get a decent paying job. I was re-watching some of the old Final Destination films, and yes, though they maybe innovative and gruesomely titillating, one can only hope that death isn't the end for you.

I understand the FD films are only movies and "death" can't be cheated. Where I am from, once you believe in God or you let God take control, there is no such thing as death. These Hollywood films tend to neglect the presence of God, so death, which is actually Satan in disguise, is able to collect his souls. None of these people in the films try to ask God for help. The closest we get is a character name George, in the 4th FD film, asking God to end his life. Ironically, he doesn't get it until his time come. Had he asked for life, Jesus would had given it to him and death would been out of reach. If you want to guess for those who haven't seen it, the characters in these films try to rely on themselves or they look at witchcraft for answers. That is like asking Satan for help. In return he wants your soul, right? You are trapped regardless.

Then again, this is Hollywood promoting their occult and witchcraft. If people don't see it by now, everything leads to death! Even satanic hollywood doesn't deny this. If Christians do appear on screen, we see the ones that do harm, but we never get to see the good and tolerant ones because once again, Hollywood does not want you to know about God's loving grace and forgiveness. Anyways, I ain't perfect, but I strive to better myself to work wonders for the lord. And I hope I didn't come out too strong as nobody seems to like the word "better." Well, there you go, a rant I promised.

Praise Jesus!

God showed me the light! That person is not my problem anymore. I could give a rats butt about what he thinks of me now or if he forgives me or not. I was immature then but after trying to apologize with him I realized I was more mature and he wasn't. If you are reading this, nobody resorts to finger pointing in an argument. And to make matters worse telling me things that is pretty much about you! Grow Up! I apologized and you criticized, sounds like I am the better man. Like an old friend of mine used to say to his opponent, "I declare victory!"
