The relationship between Thomas Popper Sr. and Jr. is so cute.  Sr. travels everywhere around the world but always 'calls' home.  "Bald Eagle to Tippy Toes".  However the relationship between Jr. and his ex is lame, it was very obvious at the beginning that they were going to get back together.
The bad guy character could have done with a bit more work.  He seemed way too fake.  The first time you see him you don't believe that he is actually with the zoo because he was being all sketchy and calling an unknown person.  Then he turns out to be some random zoo guy who is an idiot.

     The "P" Problem
At the first I wasn't too sure what this was all about... then I got it.  It was cool but then it was so annoying it took a bit away from the movie.  The ending was funny though.  P meets Q = love and really bad wording.

and I do apologize for the overness of the penguins.

Season of the Witch

WARNING:  there will be spoilers

Season Of The Witch

     RATING:  0.5/10

I was really disappointed in this movie.  The trailer was decent, for a Nicolas Cage movie that is.  But this movie is literally one of the worst ones ever.  It lacked everything; acting, plot, characters, etc.  This movie made no sense at all and it sucked while doing it.  I don't think that I've ever been so glad to NOT go to the theater to see a movie.  I was going to but the Nicolas Cage factor won out.

And onto the interesting bits...
     1)  Lame plot:  'oh there is this witch that is causing everyone to die... lets kill her! No, wait lets take her to some crazy ass monks to then kill her.  And instead of us risking our lives to complete this stupid task lets make the non-talented knight do it and his weird sidekick.'
     - two hours completely wasted
Don't even get me started with the ending, for about 1.5 hours its all "kill the witch! No don't kill the witch" then the last 0.5 hour shows up and its all like "she was never a witch she's possessed! we must save her!" then everyone dies minus the young new knight and the girl.

     2)  Casting:  strong smelling villagers, crazy monks/little demon critters, lots of CGI, Nicolas Cage, some random guy with a cartoon voice, a short little weird man, a hot chick for the witch, creepy ass main monk person, and some random young hot guy that gets the girl in the end while everyone else dies.

     3)  Acting:  I'm just going to go with saying that the CGI was probably the best acting out of the whole movie.  The witch was creepy, so she did good but when there is a good actor surrounded by not so good ones, they get a lost.

     4)  Pretty-ness:  this movie had a darker look and feel to it, very good considering the idea behind the movie.  But it did make the actors look not as creepy as they should have been in some cases and just plain demented in others (not in a good way).  The music wasn't that rememberable, however the wolves were... they were probably the best part of the movie minus the part when Nicolas Cage dies.

As you may have noticed, I am not a fan of Nicolas Cage.  I did like the Sorcerer's Apprentice, mainly because of Jay Baruchel though.

Last word of warning:  you may loose some life once you watch this.
