Fringe 3x19 LSD review
Whoever had the idea to make this episode was pure genius.LSD,cartoon,action,drama all in all, everything. But I still have one advise,don't try this at home haha.
Humor played a large part in the episode and was kinda reminescent to last year's "Brown Betty". Bell "comes up with the idea to transfer his essence to a hard drive to save Olivia so Peter,Bell/Olivia and Walter take some high dose of LSD and enter Olivia's mind only to run in some problems.Olivia and Bell is nowhere to be found and when they finally reach the North side of the Twin Towers they realize everything is cartoon including them. This part of the episode was higly amusing.Loved it, seriously.Also Broyles getting high was a kind of "relaxation" for his character and was fun to watch.I mean I can't even begin describing the laugh I had watching him.
So they finally find Bell only to be tracked down by some zombies who try to kill them but thanks to Peter's rescue plan, they take the zeppelin which was miraculously on the top of the tower and they head to Jacksonville but the fuel was wasted thanks to an intruder who cut it off and damaged the zeppelin which lead to the "death" of Walter's who dying , woke up from the trans and so only Bell and Peter were left now. They finally arrived to Jacksonville where Peter thought that Olivia was and began searching for a house which had red door.Peter and Bell find the house and Peter realises that the Olivia waiting for him there is not the actual one but a "fake one" projected by the real one to test Peter's feelings.(This part from IMO didn't "belong" to this episode")Things got worse when Olivia's stepdad arrived and tried to kill them and managed to get rid of Peter who also returned to reality so now it was up to Bell save Olivia which he did by sacrificing himself. Olivia later drawn the exact same man who attacked Peter,Walter and Bell on the zeppelin and replied to Peter that that man may be the one who will kill her.
Overall it was an enjoyable episode with some lack in drama but served pretty well as a much more "brighter" episode considering the fact that the last episodes left will be much more darker.

Smallville 10x17 Kent Review
Clark Luthor is back and he is not alone.Clark once again visits the parallel earth(or Earth-2 as they call it) only to run into a very pissed of Jonathan Kent.
Watching Tom Welling play the evil and dark Clark Luthor gives you a feeling that they are really played by two seperate actors who look the same.When he plays Clark Kent, he's good and...superman-y, but when he takes on Clark Luthor than we're talking about bussines, he's just awesome.
As the third quarter of the final season takes flight we're getting closer and closer to see Clark(Kent!) finally embrace his destiny and become the hero he meant to be.So the countdown for the 2-hour finale began with this episode and before the show takes off forever from the big screen we will see some new and some old faces. This week we saw John Schneider to play a very different Jonathan Kent we used to(but he will be back in the finale), than next week we will see the smallville version of Blue Bettle and Booster Gold(Boo$ter xD) and of course in the pre-final two episodes(lol that came out interesting) Kara Kent(^.^) and General Zod.And in the finale Martha Kent,Johnathan Kent,Chloe Sullivan,Lionel Luthor and...Rosenbaum aka Lex Luthor, the one and only.Seriously.
The episode was a hit as the show returned from the 6 week hiatus and as first many thought that the episode will be a filter I assure you they were wrong.The face off between Clark and Jonathan really had an impact on Clark upon returning to his world.Sure, Jonathan Kent stepped to the light in the other world thanks to Clark, but will Clark Luthor find redemption?The answer is yes, we finally get to see a showdown betwen the two opposite Clarks and at the end of the day it is really proved that no matter how evil CL was he still has the heart of a hero and can choose the right path.Of course as they say,things always get worse before they get better and the case is the same here.CL arrives to CK's world and sends him back to Earth-2 so he can take over this earth and rule it but first he needs to have Tess by his side to help him track down and kill Lionel. Tess confesses CL that he turned her back on the so called Luthor Legacy and won't help him kill their father to which CL get's a bit angry and tries to kill her, but CK returns(thanks to Emil and Lois' help) and saves her.CL and CK have a showdown at the fortress where CK tells his doppleganger that he saw that he hesitated when he tried to kill Tess to which CL seemingly realises that he has been on the wrong side this whole time and chooses to return to his world where he calls out for Jor-El who greets his son and finds redemption for his past actions.
John Schneider also was fun to watch and see him play a very different version of his character.This Jonathan had a harder life.He lost everything when the meteor shower occured and his wife,Martha left him too, Oliver Queen bought his farm but turned his back on him and decided not to let him have a chance to buy it back. When CK arrives to this earth to Oliver Queen's funeral, so does Jonathan who splits on Oliver's grave and blames him and Ultraman(CL's identiy which is not so secret anymore as he is the most wanted man alive) for taking everything from him but in the end it is proved that ultimately he is not so different from his other version and finally listens to CK and visits Martha because as he said "Home is not the place,but the people who live in it".
It's been long since I gave an episode on either show this high score but this one really deserves it.And it's what we expect from the last episodes of a decade long show.

The Vampire Diaries 2x18 The Last Dance review AKA Badass Alaric on the move
Matt Davis really takes his acting in a whole new level.It is fun to watch him in action and freshing to see him play someone "else" besides the good ol' vampire hunter, Alaric Saltzman who is also Elena's history teacher(in disguise?!Can I say that? ).
The episode also featured a 60's party which was really interesting and fun to watch.Everyone was dressed in classic suits, not to mention Damon's dancing and lines xD.
It also wasn't low on twists neither.Having believed that Boonie actually died facing Alaric/Klaus was a great deception to prepare for the final showdown, also having Elena take out the dagger from Elijah's body to ressurect him was something I didn't see coming.Hope they form some kind of partnership to take down the most bad ass vampire of all times.
What can I say?I loved this episode and dying to see the next one,but there's still a week for that.Meanwhile I'll finish reading The Vampire Diaries The Return:Nightfall and start the next one.

Charismagic # 1 - review
I just feel like Aspen Comics became a big favorite of mine.I just love their style of writing and drawing.They're such a cool group.I've haven't been a regular reader of their comics, but some of my friends pick up some issues and they fil me in on what's going on but now with Charismagic on sales I decided to read it and I will say it honestly, It didn't disappoint me, actually quite the opposite, after reading the last page of the first issue as well, I was amazed, I was like "Oh my God, why I haven't been paying more atention to Aspen Comics?".
The first issue was(as in all comics) a major issue because sets things in motion and shows us readers the direction the comic will take.I love that the comic holds mystery,magic and mystery as the main "source".The plot is promising as well.If you're a fan of thirller, mystery and any genre of that I encourage you to pick it up without hesitation.
The amazing first issue was written by Vince Hernandez and penciled by Khary Randolph.
So as I said before, this mini-series if probably the most exciting new comic this year from my point of view.Any more advice?Just the same as before, pick it up!

FEAR ITSELF : BOOK ONE - review
The first chapter of this year's MARVEL EVENT arrived and it's something amazing.Marvel promised us an event even bigger than Civil War was back in 2006-07 which would change the status quo of the mainstream and they make a promising start where all hell break loose.The writer is non other than one of my favorites, Matt Fraction and the penciler , Stuart Immonen.
The issue begins in Broxton, where a riot errupts in the middle of a conference, because the citizens do not want to help Stark rebuild Asgard and make a home for the Gods.Riots were not all scary considering the fact that Sin found an old base which once belonged to Adolf Hitler and was secured by Nazis over the decades and which hold a powerful weapon which could cause unimaginable destruction if it would be released.This weapon is non other than the hammer that fell to the Earth during the second World War.Sin approaches the artifact and before touches reveals to her men that he had a vision which depicted her as the Queen of the World and Captain America dead at her feet, seconds later after taking the weapon she is transformed into Khadi, the Goddess of Fear.
Also another major conflict depicted in this issue is the struggle between Thor and his fatther, the All-Father, Odin.Odin is disappointed in his son because Thor consideres himself as a human and choose to defy the Asgardians to which Odin reponds in a battle and Thor is taken back to their world in chains.The Gods left the heroes and now they are in their own to face Fear itself.
It would be an interesting concept to see heroes and villains team-up against this threat that is older than the whole universe and more dangerous than any of them.And if things didn't get any worse, than the father of Khadi summoned the Worthy which is not revealed what to be, but seven meteortes fell to Earth and clashed into the Pacific Ocean,Brazil,China and Manhattan.
The first issue as I said before was off to a good start.It wasn't slow but neither fast, it was just right.The storytelling was just perfect thanks to Immonen's illustrations.Immonen really get's better and better whith every comic he does.There was no wasted page or panel in this issue, now everything is set to motion and whats next for our heroes is something non of them faced before.
BOOK TWO : Blitzkreig U.S.A. in stores May 4, 2011.

Limitless Review
![]() |
| Eddie Morra(Bradley Cooper) |
Eddie Morra is a typewriter in New York City who has the ultimate writer's block and can't write down a single word for his book and besides that he lives in a shitty apartment plus his girlfriend, Lindy also dumped him. Eddie one day (maybe?!) accidentaly encounters Vernon, the brother of his ex-wife Mellisa and gives him a new drug, called NZT-48 and tells him to try it out which Eddie does and much to his amazement improves his focus and intelligence.Eddie finishes his book in four days and starting with that, his life takes a drastic turn, he is capable of using the 100 % of his brain, learns foreign languages withing hours and numbers become useful to him.
For me, this movie was one of the most anticipated movies of 2011 and I wasn't disappointed. The movie delivers the viewer action,drama,fun and everything you expect from such a movie.The plot is amazingly awesome with some interesting but sometimes unnecessary twist but overall a must see movie.
Bradley Cooper does a terrific job portraying such a rich character as well as De Niro too, my only complaintment is that he didn't have much screentime plus the end of the movie was a bit rushed, at least from my point of view.The tracks featured in the movie are something spectacular as well.
The movie lived up to the overall expectations and can't wait for it to come out on DVD to buy it, also I ordered the book which was originally titled "The Dark Fields" written by Irish writer Alan Glynn.If you have the opportunity don't hesitate to read it.

Amazing Spider-Man : Big Time -Enter Phil Urich
Just finished recently the 'Amazing Spider-Man' stories called 'Big Time' which pretty much to my surprise, was a really enjoyable storyline.Written by big spidey fan Dan Slott, and penciled by amazing artst, Humnerto Ramos. the story focuses on Peter's 'new' life.He get's hired to be a scientist,pretty much what he wanted to become his whole life, he get's together finally with Carlie Cooper and everything goes fine until the Kingpin hires the Hobgoblin to stole something for him but this Hobgoblin is killed by non other than Ben Urich's nephew, Phil Urich, who becomes the 'new' Hobgoblin and also the hitman for hire of the Kingpin of Crime.His motivations at first are unclear however as the story developes, it becomes clearer and clearer that all he wants is to get his hands on Norah Winters, kill Spider-Man plus become rich as hell.
'One More Day' was the finish line for me as a regular Spidey reader but sure I pick up in time to time the interesting stuff such as American Son,Shed,Grim Hunt,O.M.I.T., Origins of the Species and now Big Time. Dan Slott makes a perfect read, I think I'll be back reading it.
P.S. take a look at Spidey's new suit designed specially to use it against the Goblin.What can I say?Sweet :D
