The Perks of Being A Wallflower (FC100 Review)

The Perks of Being A Wallflower the film that everyone says it's a great movie, that is was so amazing for it's fantastic characters and having the director being the guy who made the book was an excellent idea. Weeeellllllllll, I don't think so I think the movie is O.K just that, I don't really understand why so many people really like this movie. I mean I understand it had great morals and the acting was good it's just there are many problems in this movie. I saw this movie twice and I still see the problems it has. The first one being that it feels a bit unbelievable like the high school that the main character is in is filled with really mean people. That is not real to me. I have been to high school before and I have seen few but never so many in just one school. Yes I know there are bullies in school and people who have conditions, but this school feels like still unreal to me. Yes I also know this movie takes place in 90's but still it doesn't feel real. The second problems I have in the movie is that I felt uncomfortable when watching a few scenes in the movie. There is a few parts where charlie and his friends are doing a dance on stage for a celebration of the rocky horror picture show, I just said to myself "Movie have you have no shame" I know that the characters are having fun but I still feel uncomfortable. I also felt frustrated on how charlie was trying to break up with his girlfriend and he does it by kissing Sam right in front of her,OUCH! That hurt from here not only that but there were better solutions even at that time. Now your probably think I hate this movie but I don't I think it's O.K and that the actors was did amazing performances and the lessons in the movies are great. If you want a better film like this I say check out The Silver Linings Playbook I also did a review of that with the help of my friend CJF1994.

Does Spongebob Squarepants Need To Leave? (By FC100)

The First thing in your mind is why would you ask a question like this. Well ever since the new seasons of Spongebob came around, people  can't help that the character is suffering from not having the original writers and the other cast of friends are losing their entertaining edge. That the series is starting to lose it's audience. I will explain how Spongebob became popular and how his career started to hit rock bottom.




Let's Begin, Nickelodeon shows were becoming a huge hit but then after a few of there shows we having there series finale. they needed a new show to bring that will be lasting in 2000's. In May 1, 1999 commercials for a new show called Spongebob Squarepants was about to air and the first episode that hit was "Help Wanted".



 The episode plot was about an odd character named Spongebob who had just become the age to work and dreams of working at one of the most popular fast food Restaurants in Bikini Bottom, The Krusty Krab. Spongebob goes inside and finds Mr.Krabs and squidward being there funny and annoying  as themselves, Spongebob ask if he can have a job at the restaurant but Mr.Krabs doesn't find interest in hiring so he sends him on a wild goose chase to find a spatula that doesn't exist or so he thought. Then after Spongebob leaves to go find it, but then a bunch of anchovies starts demanding for food and won't leave until they get some. Both Mr.Krabs and Squidward start to panic, then spongebob leaps into action with the new spatula and ends up feeding all the anchovies, they leave and Spongebob gets the job of being a fry cook. It could have ended there but then his friend Patrick comes to order krabby patty, then Spongebob makes a whole batch of them and literary shoots Patrick out of the Restaurant while Squidward is screaming in panic and that left a impression on how the show will be for the audience.

After the first season the show ended up becoming popular and really pushed the line of great comedy and lovable characters. When the first three seasons were becoming a success, Hollywood decided to pick up this show and decided that it needed a movie.

We got "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" which hit theaters everywhere and was hype up to the roof and having a lot of promotion with fast-food restaurant Burger King to sell toys for the movie. The film was release November 19, 2004 and was a critical and box office success. Many fans of the series loved the film and so did the general audience. The one thing many didn't count on was that the film was suppose to end the series on a good note. But like every popular show the series was announce to continue on with season 4 which came a year after the film.








Season 4 was only find and not really that much talked about, the reason for that was because after the movie the original writers of the show had left and new writers ended up taking new ideas for the show. Then trouble had just started when the newer season of Spongebob even to this day started loosing there audience because the characters in the show and even Spongebob started losing there edge and suffer through a lot of of episodes that just were weird and not really funny like before.

I have conversations with friends about shows and not any one of them ever talked about Spongebob anymore because of the bad seasons that came. I need to ask the question again does Spongebob need to leave from T.V and not come back after the suffering of the further seasons. Well I thought about for a while but then on December 6, 2012 a new Spongebob Squarepants Christmas Special was announce, I thought to myself that there is no way that they could top the "Christmas Who?" episode with this. Well somehow I was 100% wrong not only was the special great it was the best Spongebob I have seen in a long time.

This special had good jokes and a memorable song since "Rip your Pants' . The episode was not the traditional 2D style animation but a Stop Motion animation, that was just great to watch and pulled a lot into the characters we loved. By bring back there good personality and fun humor. This is a special you have to see and I won't spoil it for you.











Now I know the show hasn't fully died out of any fans minds, because people are now remembering Spongebob once again. So I know that character is still fun he just got lost for while and soon he will be coming back. I will still remember this character for a long time, also it has just been announce.


A Sequel to the first movie is in development, I just hope that this movie will be good as the first and maybe Spongebob will be more remember once again.

WTH? is With The Ending of Vertigo (Film) By FC100

One of Alfred Hitchcock's great movies Vertigo is now known as "The Greatest Movie of All Time" well I can accept that with other people but I think the movie is good. But then after watching it I did wonder about the lesson the movie was trying to tell us and it's all about the ending. People question still to this day I mean what could it mean well I thought about and I might think I have the answer.

WARNING! to talk about the ending I have to talk about the movie and there are going to be major spoilers so if you didn't see the movie I would suggest to watch the movie first before you read this blog, but if your still reading then let's begin.






Vertigo is about a detective named John "Scottie" Ferguson who was trying to solve a case on the top of a building, but then while chasing someone the police officer that was with him ends up falling down the building and gets killed in the process and then John ends up being afraid of heights and is called into early retirement. But then he meets a person named Gavin who asked him to help him follow his wife named Madeleine Elster. He agrees to follow her and then after getting to know her, he falls in love with her and wanted to be with her. But then she commits suicide by falling off a church tower and then he gets depress and ends up going in shock after what happened. But then he meets up with another women named Judy who looks just like Madeleine, so he decides to take a chance on recreating the one he loves and make Judy look like Madeleine and take her to the tower to try to confront his fear. But then after he conquers his fear he finds out she tricked him into thinking that Madeleine is dead and that Gavin killed her and Judy disguise as her to help him with the crime. She admits that she is in love with John ever since he met him, but then Judy falls to her death because she thought she saw the ghost of the real Madeleine and it ends up being a nun who was just trying to ring the big bell on the top of the tower. Then John looks over at what happen to Judy and then the movie ends. 

O.K I know I'm not the official person to judge Alfred Hitchcock's movies for the lack of sense they have. But people still to this day question the ending there were theories. Most say that it's suppose to teach how a lie can go to far and it could end up bad for you in the end. Others say that it's just a lesson to conquer your fears and never give in to pressure. But I have my own theory and it's not like other of Hitchcock's films had this kind of lessons like this. The lesson in "Psycho" is to not trust everyone you see because they could end up being bad people Also to be careful of where you go because they could be there and in "The Birds" is to expect the unexpected,I suggest you see the movies to know what I'm talking about.

My Theory on the movie Vertigo is this maybe it's trying to tell us 2 things from two of the Main Characters from Judy's side it's to not let a lie go too far because the lie to person could end up being the person you want to be with for the rest of your life you might end up losing him or your fate will end in tragedy and from John's side it's to conquer your fears and if you do you might find important information in the end.

But you can look in your owns ways how you describe the movie I still say it's a good movie but not one of Hitchcock's best but still it's a movie worth watching and I recommend it for people who liked to see Mystery films.

O.K FC100 signing out and see you on my next blog.

A Sega Genesis Gaming Gem- Animaniacs

OK Everyone here is another Sega Genesis Game which I think people have overlooked It's Animaniacs on the Sega Genesis and just for you to know the SNES version is different and I think you rather get the Genesis one because the SNES version is like a RPG, Beat'em up, that is really bad. The Music might be great but it's the gameplay that we care about. The game on the Genesis is a side-scrolling puzzle game and a great one at that. the game really makes you think and it's really entertaining. the Characters are there and it's really faithful to the show and has a lot to offer.                                                                                                                                 The Gameplay is well put Yakko has a paddle ball that can either stun or attack enemies, Wakko has a hammer which can push buttons and destroy items or light a fuse, and Dot blows kisses which can react to certain characters or certain actions that need to progress.
The game was developed by Konami which you probably know from creating games like Contra, Castlevania, and The Metal Gear Series. they put a lot of effort in to making the game instead of just being based on a show slap on a sticker game. Also the show producer was Stephen Spielberg who we known has done a lot of Fantastic movies. My last thoughts is that is a good game to own on your Genesis collection, But I do want to warn you that it's hard to get through and unless your a hardcore gamer. Then I suggest when you die on a level too much find cheats online to use the password system to get to the next level.

OK then FC100 Signing out and see you on my next blog.

Indie Game: The Movie (Movie Review By FC100) Edited By Brother


I just can't describe what this movie is about it's just amazing and it's weird because it's a documentary. I don't really like that many documentaries but this is an exception simply because it's awesome. If you watched my videos on YouTube then you know I am a gamer and originally I felt no interest when I first heard about this movie but my older brother said to check it out and I accepted. One day my brother came over and put it on his Netflix account on our blu-ray player, so I gave it a chance. After that I was amazed for manly for one reason, many of the people interviewed in the documentary speak about how video games impacted them as children, they speak about their  memories of gaming. Most of them were apart of the generation when video games were first released on the consumer market. Most of the creators in the "Indie Game: The Movie" are part of that generation of original gaming. Most people in their late twenty's to early thirties like my older brother and his friends were around to play Atari and saw the invention of the first Nintendo console. When it comes to video games, I feel like I was born in the wrong decade or too late but I still love the video games now and I can look for older games I like from the past. This documentary shows how you can accomplish your goal no matter who stands in your way but what consequences you suffer from dedicating all your time to accomplish the creation and evolution of your independently created video game.

The movie talks about the creators of two great independent video games called "Super Meat Boy" and "FEZ"and they struggle to release it in time for an video game expo and release date that is also looking at the release of other extremely popular mainstream games. Independent games are video games made by a person or small group of people by themselves and not backed by a big company. The story begins with the early morning the creators have in anticipation of the release of their games and  narration on the subject. The first creator is Edmund McMillen  of "Super Meat Boy" who gets inspiration from the new-grounds online game of called meat boy so he come up with another idea  and called it "Super Meat Boy" both games are completely different but as homage he kept the name "Meat Boy" in his game. Before this he made another game which made him well known in the indie game circuit. Once he makes "Super Meat Boy" it became a hit and he was able to be financially independent.  He  starts to have difficulty after making a deal with Microsoft to put it in Xbox Live. The game needs to be popular enough with people online that is sells a certain amount of units in order to get back all the time and money he put into the game. 

 The other designer is Phil Fish, he co- created on the game "FEZ. He and his business partner had a huge falling out and Phill was left to continue the work on "The FEZ" alone. His issue was that the second game "FEZ 2" didn't seem ready for the release and later suffers the consequences of a not fully polished product. Many anxious online gamers get very impatient and started leaving  insanely rude comments about him. He states this and is it shown in the documentary, this proves the point that a lot of people don't fully understand that many independent game creators are only working by themselves and you can see that Phil Fish is quite a perfectionist so he takes as much time as he feels he needs for the insane game he creates. He took a few years to finish his the new version of his game which once again is hundreds of hours of his time and only his time because he is the only person working on it.  He goes to promote it the at a game expo but unfortunately realized there were a bunch of glitches that he didn't catch until the day of the expo. It's very sad to see how he worked so hard on this beautifully designed game and stands in panic as people testing the game can't really play it because the system continuously crashes.   .

Before I can continue the review let me make one thing clear these Designers don't have a huge amount of people helping them make the game they are doing it with one partner or even alone because these are independent game makers. Let me explain Game Companies like Nintendo, Sega, Microsoft, and Sony all have big amount of staffed employees working on the game for example Super Smash Bros have over 100 or more people working on it cause they have many support cause they have been working over the years. These Developers are working independently because they want make sure there creativity won't be taken over or changed by others. This happens a lot in the film industry as well, these executive producers or production companies seem to  think they have a better idea for something then the script writer that has a wonderful idea but after some or too many rights are sold to the company to start production falls prey to possibly being lame or just bad. Some movies have writers that change things from the original creator, which sometimes hates the idea but can't do nothing about it because they no longer have the rights to change back the concept. On some occasions it works out but most of the time this is why you get "generic" comedies or romantic comedies and bad action films. I feel that Hollywood wants to destroy The Originality of  film and television, not that all original ideas will always be great.

Wow that was a mouth full. Well like I said the movie ends up being great because they tell there stories on how they started playing games and then making them. Also that you can't let people stand in your way of trying to make something happen. It's happy, sad, and peaceful to watch but the only compliant that I have is how long it is, it's under 2 hours but that's my only complaint I won't explain the ending because it's an experience that I don't want to spoil for you.

I give this movie 5 SNES Controllers it's a movie for Gamers and people who likes watching documentaries and it's worth checking out. OK then FC100 signing out and see you on the next blog.

Top 5 of My Best Movie Trailers

Hey guys well it`s official The X-men series of movies are starting to improve because The Wolverine is in theaters and being a hit. Rotten Tomatoes have given it a 67% and IMDB a 7.2 rate that means it's doing well and I haven't seen the movie yet but the trailer looks spectacular but still is that what makes it a great film usually the poster brings people in but now the trailers are making the big impacts. 

So what I will being doing is giving you my Top 5 List of My Best Movie Trailers and to make sure you get my point I will give you links to the trailers to watch let's begin.


5. Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star 
The movie itself is awesome but when you look at the trailer it's more peaceful to look at until the action scenes come in and so do the slap-sticks as well. Also it does kind of reveal the plot even if you don't speak Chinese and yes the trailer is in Chinese but it's still awesome to look at and it gives you a good reason to watch the movie.

Link:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCDfvJIoBDw






4. Miracles

The Trailer is just beautiful just beautiful and it takes a pace in being gentle to just going extreme. Now I will say even if your hooked in to watch the film chances are you wouldn't like it that much because the trailer tricks you to thinking it's an action movie but actually it's a gangster, drama, and action film. But the movie is still good but not as much as trailer is awesome. Sometimes the trailer is better than the movie and that can be bad because then when you watch the movie it's not as good as you would thought. But still it's a good movie with a great trailer so check out if you have a chance.

3. Rocky II: The Story Continues

Even though this trailer is really old it still awesome to experience. Also who was that guy who narrated I mean his dialog is amazing! he literally doesn't reveal what will happen but he tells you the things that you will feel while watching this movie and man that is really cool. But the movie is itself is still great. Also I love the line when he says "Rocky II The Story Continues. This is why it deserves the number 3 spot.


Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2J_n8_x11g









 2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of The Ooze
  
Even though not loved by many it's still awesome to me and turtles fans out there and the trailer is one of those reasons why this movie is awesome. When you watch the trailer is does feel like one of those classic trailers back in the 90's and it felt good just watching and gives people a reason to watch the movie with suspense and action.

Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLmZgGXeU28













1. Super Mario Bros (Film)

Now your probably wondering how could you pick Super Mario Bros the movie if it's known as a bad film. Well why don't you look at the trailer than and see if you don't feel like your getting pump up to see the movie.

When I saw the movie I thought it was O.K but when I saw the trailer I was amazed. I mean this was awesome and actually know how many people got hype up to see the film and was disappointed later well this trailer is the reason for that. I suggest you watch it and compare it to film and see what you think.

When you see the trailer you will have this expression

Hard Target (Movie Review) by FC100

For many who have seen Michael Bay films, and most of the action/comedies this film combines both of those things and you will be amazed. The star of the movie is "Jean-Claude Van Damme" who plays a a character named Chance who protects the daughter of a military man who was murdered by a team of special killers who pays people to be practice targets and kill them off leaving no evidence and now are after the daughter who wants her dead so she doesn't know that they killed her father.

The movie starts slow but then it knocks you off your seat when the fights and action scenes happen, the story is OK but its hard to follow I guess that's why it's called hard target. The characters I can say are memorable but some things about the movie makes it weak which is why it got mixed reviews. Examples are like there are too many explosions happening that aren't even suppose to happen like in one scene Chance blows up a guy by pouring oil on him and then setting him on fire and he explodes, HOW! Unless he was holding dynamite or something. Also there are to many scenes focusing on the bad guys which are pretty scary because there is this henchmen who helps his boss kill people and in one part when one of there men are not following his orders the henchmen cuts of his ear, thank gosh it's off screen.

My last thoughts on the movie it's not a great movie but it is a good one and it's kind of close to being popcorn entertainment cause there are many actions scenes that are awesome. I recommend this movie for people who likes action, adventure, and suspense. Another thing that makes this movie good is that

 Super Mario makes an appearance I don't know what happen to his hat but it's also the first time Mario uses a weapon. See the movie to know what I am talking about.

Are Teen Sitcoms Dead? (By FC100) Edited By CJF1994



Noticing that a channel called The Hub is getting popular (maybe because of My Little Pony?) I took a look at some shows airing like The Haunting Hour and Game Night as well as reruns of Batman: The Animated Series, Animaniacs, Superman: The Animated Series, and Transformers.

I also noticed that it shows reruns of familiar sitcoms from back in the day like Happy Days, Family Ties, and ALF. There was sitcom I haven't seen yet called Wizards vs. Aliens and judging from the previews alone, I wasn't really hooked. The writing and dialogue didn't seem to impress me and this is coming from a guy who grew up with sitcoms like Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, iCarly, and Degrassi.

Probably many of you don't know but teen sitcoms back then were better then the ones we have today.  This makes me wonder: are teen sitcoms dead?

Let's start with one of the earliest teen sitcoms: The Monkees and Gidget.

Gid Title.JPG115645 monkees l.jpg

They were popular back in the 60's. To put in simple, the shows made the teens look like the good guys and the adults look like the bad guys (and idiots). They were eventually cancelled due to the rise of other popular shows like 60's Batman show starring Adam West.

Then there was rise in teen sitcoms during the 90s with Nickelodeon producing a lot of them (both live-action and animation) like:

 Kenan & Kel intertitle.jpg

As Told By Ginger Title.jpg

Rocket Power.jpg
These shows not only made pre-teens and adolescents laugh but also provided relatable topics like overspending, first kisses, and the like. Disney Channel, known for their animated shows, eventually tried to compete with Nickelodeon by providing their own teen sitcoms like:

[insert Lizzie McGuire image]

Even Stevens.jpg

That's So Raven.png
One of their most popular shows was Kim Possible, a cartoon, to be exact. While not completely a sitcom, as it is more action-oriented, it does take elements of teen sitcoms during the high school subplots and include their own twists to them to avoid being cliched. It was known for its memorable characters, light-hearted atmosphere, brilliant writing, and action set-pieces.


Disney's Kim Possible (intertitle).jpg


Probably due to the show's high ratings, Disney Channel produced more sitcoms and animated shows with sitcom elements. One example, in particular, is The Buzz on Maggie which was created by Dave Polsky, one of the writers of Scary Movie 2. When you hear those two together, you are in for a bad sign. Other animated shows like American Dragon: Jake Long and The Emperor's New School (a spin-off of The Emperor's New Groove) took elements from teen sitcoms and were either a hit or a miss.

Adjllogo.jpg






The Emperor's New School.jpg







Many are saying that teen sitcoms are spreading like a plague and ruining Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. That statement is up for debate, but many would agree. Bringing up the question again: Are Teen Sitcoms Dead?

This is just my opinion, but not completely. Teen sitcoms that take other elements of fiction like fantasy or science-fiction, when done right, are done right. Shows like Phil of the Future and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide add their own twists to become more disctinct. Recent ones like House of Anubis add mystery and suspense.

Disney Channel's two popular animated shows like Phineas and Ferb and Gravity Falls, while they can at times feel like sitcoms, you instantly forget they are sitcoms because there is a lot imagination and creativity put into these shows, which probably explains their high ratings. Pair of Kings on Disney XD add a sort of Jurassic Park-esque type of show full of creatures and warriors.

While only five episodes have been released so far, I have to bring up Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on Disney XD. It takes elements of sitcoms but remains faithful to the original Pac-Man character, in my opinion, at least.

Perhaps teen sitcoms in general need better writers so as not to make the older audience eager to dismiss them.

So what do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree? Let me know in the comments below. FC100 signing out. See you guys in my next blog.

The Forbidden Kingdom (Movie Review) By FC100

This movie many don`t talk about anymore but I like to talk about something that I Think is worth checking out



At the time of 2008 Jackie Chan wasn't in any movies as often he did before and people though that his career was about to be over I thought so as well because he has been in over 100 of films and he hasn't been making any movies lately but then I went on the Internet on yahoo and there was a background of a new movie coming out. The Forbidden Kingdom it was a new Jackie Chan film but not only that also Jet Li was going to be in the movie. Everyone called it "Jackie Chan and Jet Li Together For The First Time!" people went crazy that there favorite action star was going to be in another film and I beg my mom to take me to see it and at first I was Hype but then after leaving the theater I was not only amaze but I started to not really that much I just thought it was decent but not bad. But then in a later time I bought the DVD and try to get back to it and in an older age I learned how to appreciate the film.

The Story from critics said it is a good movie but some said it was a mixture between the wizard of oz and the karate kid. That's kind of true but it has it's own plot, Here's the story a young boy played by Michael Angarano which last role I saw him in was Disney Sky High and also it kind of the same kind of role because in Sky High he was a weak teenager and than later he turns into a strong person and learns how to fight which is kind of the same in The Forbidden Kingdom. Well what happens in the movie he's friends with an old man who owns a pawn shop full of Chinese movies and house furniture and weird looking Sculptures. He loves watching foreign films and he mostly likes the combat movies so he always comes to his pawn shop to get something, He is bullied by a gang of thugs we likes to steal from house and stores he is tricked to bringing them in the pawn shop and stealing the money but then the Gang Leader shoots the old man. The young boy finds a staff and the old man tells him to bring it to the rightful owner and then runs for his life and on the top of the roof the staff pushes him by the ledge and falls of into Ancient China where he meets a drunk man played by Jackie Chan who tells him the story that the staff belongs to the Monkey King who had Fought an evil warlord who wants to kill him but needs the staff destroyed to finish the job and that's the plot. The Characters are given good explanation in film but some background characters are just people who help are not important in the film. The greatest things in the film is the environment and the Action. There are many fight scenes in the film and there insane and there not predictable when you think someone going to win your wrong it takes time to figure out who's going to win unless if you saw the film many times and you remember but first time viewers will have difficulty. The film brings Chinese Culture, Great Fighting, Sad Moments, and Great Suspense it will keep you on your seat and I won't explain who Jet Li characters because it's an important part in the movie so I won' spoil it so that's a;; I have to say.

My Last Impression it's a good movie and if you happen to spot a copy on any dollar store or stores like Target, Wal-Mart or in any video store I say get it you won't be disappointed FC100 signing out and I will see you on my next blog.

My Pikmin Story (By FC100)

It`s has been 12 years since the first Pikmin game and has been 12 years since I started playing the Nintendo Gamecube.

Indigo-colored GameCube with controller and memory card  Pikmin cover art.jpg

I would like to talk about one of the games of my childhood that gave me something to look forward to in the future. It was my 6th birthday at the time and my parents and my brother were planning something special and what I got was a few toys and a new game console my last one was the Nintendo 64 but will get to that in another time so my mother asked me what game should I get first I had to pick one for now so I just picked at pure random and by looking at the covers I picked Pikmin when I played the game I was OK with it for a while then I got bored after trying to learn how the game worked so I just didn`t play it anymore. Then I went on and played Super Mario Sunshine and Super Smash Bros Melee those games I loved them. But then a few years later I went back to play Pikmin to see if I can play it and get use to it and after that I was Fascinated all those imaginary creatures that were awesome to look at and also I really loved the main character Olimar who was the space captain that has a funny looking nose and has face that will make you laugh for hours .The story is about the captain trying to fix his space ship by finding all the parts and getting back home he befriends these plant-walking creatures as the game calls them Pikmin who helps him gets his parts back and keeps him out of danger from the monsters on the planets that the basic stuff that's happening.But to me and probably not notice but others it`s kind of a close story to the movie E.T you know he gets on earth and can`t get back home, He befriends a young boy and tries to find a way off the planet. Also in the E.T video game he has to collect parts of a phone to get back home. So what I can say I guess Pikmin is a Way better version of the E.T video game. The Game-play is great all you have to do is find all the parts of your ship, collect numbered food to mutiple the number of pikmins, and Finally defeat all the bosses to get back your parts all in 30 days. When I play this game I know it`s an adventure with a limited time and has a great way of making the players feel excited it holds up great even til this day. That`s all I have to say but I know that you want me to mention yes this actually was starting as another mario game called Super Mario 128 but later became somthing better.


After the time of the console wars with Gamecube, Playstation 2, and Xbox, I was playing with the Playstation 2 at the game and hold on to my Gamecube til later on and three years later

This game came out when I found out there was a sequel I was ready to play when my brother got the game it was awesome but still to this day I have not beaten the game cause I don`t have it anymore nor do I have Pikmin because I moved so many times that some of my stuff is lost and at the time I had the game I couldn`t figure it out again because it was 2 players now and new creatures and Pikmin I had to know how to control and I didn`t even know they remove the 30 days time limit until few years later cause I was young and I was still getting use to games with different kinds of genres. So then I moved on but til this very day I appreciate the series for what it is and are very memorable.

Now What do I think of the New Pikmin game coming out

I`m Hype and can`t wait for this new game to come out on the Wii U it`s to soon to say a lot on what will it bring to the series but still we can just hope it will be a great game to play the one down side is that in North America it`s coming out August 4th and in other countries it`s coming in July how come it`s hard to send games to North America when it`s done and ready but not send it early. I just can not believe it`s coming late but at least we still get to play it. OK that`s my Pikmin Story FC100 signing out and see you on my next blog.

From Up On Poppy Hill (Movie Review)

This movie I saw in theaters was awesome I know that the Steven Spielberg of Anime  Hayao Miyazaki would make great films like this and I thought he directed this but actually it was his son Goro Miyazaki.


















This film is called From Up On Poppy Hill it`s a weird name to me cause when I saw the movie it had nothing to do about a hill but it had something involving Poppy but I will explain that later. The movie`s plot I won`t explain cause this movie wasn`t release in Most of The United States it was only in select theaters but I manage to find a nearby theater to watch it. After that it was great and I will explain things that is involve in the story. It`s has to involve something about a difficult Romance,Parent Lost, and Saving something from being destroyed. The movie`s not hard to follow but there are parts that can be difficult to find out and there is are few Twist in the movie that make it great I won`t spoil it you have to watch the movie to understand.But the lesson I really love in the film which makes it strong It teaches how much family matters in life cause without it your on your own and how to survive to stand up for what you believe in some basic lessons that are done very well. Overall though it`s a Fantastic well done anime film Parents and Kids will enjoy it and has great lessons to teach many. I recommend owning it on Blu-Ray and DVD and that`s my movie review FC100 Signing Out.

P.S. I do want to know some of  Hayao Miyazaki films have been Distributed by Disney in North America and Disney most of the times make sequels how come he doesn`t make sequels to his films for example don`t you think there should be a Ponyo 2 cause there are things that are not explained and that makes a right for a sequel.


A Sega Genesis Gaming Gem- Decap Attack

Let me talk to you about one Sega genesis that not many people talk about


















The game is called Decap Attack is was made by Vic Tokai which was a gaming company who reuses the same game Designs but the backgrounds and the games are different. They have made great games and some bad. But this one is one that I found out I got curious so I watch some Game-play footage then bought it on the Sega genesis which I own. Played and it was Awesome! but at the same time it`s creepy cause there are some things that are Gorey in the game well for one thing the health bars are hearts and i`m not talking about the valentine shape hearts. I mean real hearts! Ewwwwwwwww and when you attack Chuck D heads eyes pop out with organs. Oh Gosh! but the game has a kind of Mixture Kid Version of Castlevania and Mortal Kombat. But The Game-play and action in the game are Awesome also there are cheats in the game like a stage select code which is hard to pull off. and to gain more health jump on the top of pole make sure you on the tip and press down then you gained health which is helpful. The Characters in the game are really funny there are birds with googly eyes and creatures that are funny to look at. overall it`s a fun game to play and if you have a Sega Genesis this is a fun game to own.
