"Eden Of The East" is an anime made up of one season and two movies. The first season is made up of 11 episodes and followed up by two movies to complete the anime. The first movie is titled "Eden Of The East The Movie 1: The King Of Eden" and the second "Eden Of The East: Paradise Lost". I give not just this movie a rating of 3 but also the whole anime in general a rating of 3. Most anime’s have crappy movies compared to the anime or manga itself but "Eden Of The East" is no comparison. Perhaps it has to do with the fact that the anime was completed among the two movies that I think that way but regardless, the movies were interesting and "Takizawa" was just full of mystery. For someone who lost their memory he always seems to know what to do. The twist and turns along the way were entertaining to watch. I gave this anime a rating of 3 because although it was entertaining, it wasn’t that good but wasn’t bad either. To be honest it was more on the good side of things than just alright, almost making me rate it a 3.5. Almost. I have to hand it to Eden though, it sure did know how to come up with a disappointing ending. When things started to unravel and come to a conclusion, they just had to mess it up… The conclusion of the story was so bad, I just had to give it a 3. Utter disappointing. Not only did he not keep his promise but you’d think something that built up to be so serious and suspenseful would come to a better conclusion. It almost feels like they wanted to give up making this movie and call it a wrap.Review:

This movie was a funny parody of fairy tales. I just saw it recently and it was so funny I just had to put it in for this week. If you’re a cat lover, child, child at heart, or you enjoy watching movies with your family, then this is a good movie for you.Review:

If not for my girlfriend I don’t think I would have ever watched this movie… Maybe. Since you know, this movie is pretty famous and after watching it I clearly know why. If honesty is going to be laid out in the table here, then I might as well say that this is one of the cutest movies I’ve ever seen. I doubt there will ever be a better kiss scene in the rain than there has in “The Notebook”. Romantic Comedy is usually more so the genre I would watch but if you want to see a serious romance movie, this would be the one I recommend. It’s just so cute.Review:

To me, this is one of those movies I can watch constantly and always laugh at. It could be the longest time since I’ve seen it and the moment I watch it again, it still makes me laugh. This movie is so funny and I think anyone whose ever seen it thinks of it when they hear the song “A Thousand Miles” by “Vanessa Carlton”. This has become one of those movies for me that I’ve watched so many times, I just wait for my favourite parts to come on and still laugh every time.Review:

I remember being at the movie theater and an old man randomly started talking to me about this movie in the bathroom. He told me that it was a good movie and that the end can make people get lost. I had no idea what he meant until i watched the movie for myself. I kid you not, I watched this movie about 7 times after first watching it so I can get lost in the end. The old man in the bathroom knew what he was talking about, this movie can make you get lost and the visual effects in the movie were amazing. I love animals and survival shows interest me, so this movie was no different.Review:

http://theotherjose.tumblr.com/post/74195981012/book-of-the-week-9
This book completely shattered my heart. I was looking forward to reading this book, and eager to have more knowledge of how Wicked came to be, only to be filled with sheer disappointment. This novel was completely unnecessary, and the information found in this book could have easily been fit into the other Maze Runner series. This book was basically a failure attempt to create a story full of action. Literally almost this whole book is made up of fist fights between the main characters, and the early showing symptom cranks. This book wasn’t all bad though, as always James Dashner ends, and starts his books in the most perfect way. The epilogue in this book makes mention of a couple of the previous characters in the series, but other than that the characters in this novel are all different. The relationship between Mark and Alec in this book was enjoyable. In a world full of chaos, it was nice to see a relationship similar to that of a grandson and a grandfather. That was the key factor that made these characters likeable.Review:

Don’t get me wrong here, the story is amazing, I just don’t find the book all that great. I felt as if this book was a lot like unwanted homework, I just wanted to finish reading it and get it over with. Even though I didn’t really appreciate the book, I did appreciate the amazing story of Anne Frank. If you ever find yourself reading this book, and it feels like unwanted homework, just skip to the end to read about her life. Her summarized life story is a much easier and better read. I only recommend reading this book if you wish to go more in depth into the life of Anne Frank.Review:

The climax and action was put to a rest for a while in this part of the adventure. The slow build up to the turning point resulted in two outcomes. The first outcome was me personally giving this book a rating of 4. I gave this book a rating of 4, because it lacked the thrill it had throughout the other parts of the story. James Dashner has shown a good mix of climax and action being written into his past work, that the slow tempo in this book was a bit of a let down. The second outcome, was that the study pace made the ending to this book that much more climatic when action came into play. The end result was as always, a perfect ending. For every ending in the series, I felt like I found the cheese at the end of the maze.Review:

In my opinion, this was the best book in the series. The betrayal, plot twists, and the adventure was just too amazing for me not to give it a perfect rating. I just couldn’t believe certain things that happened in the story and caught myself gasping many times through out it. The two new characters certainly brought excitement and spice to the series. Brenda made the romance in this book much more interesting and even had me rooting for her. With some answers revealed as to why the maze was created, things got more interesting and I found myself surprised once more at just how much I grew to love the characters. Kudos to James Dashner, you certainly have the Midas touch when it comes to writing. I don’t think I’ve ever gasped so much through out any book before.Review:

This series is one of my favorites. I have to admit the beginning was a little annoying to read, but if you can get past it, you’ll find yourself flying through the series. One of the things that made the beginning annoying was slang created and used by the characters. The vocabulary was hard to digest, but soon became second nature to understand. Another annoying thing was the main characters frustration in the beginning of the novel. Thomas’ impatience for answers was unbelievable, but given the circumstances, I would be impatient for answers as well. After the first couple of chapters, I had no further complaints. The adventure started out as a new world I didn’t understand, but the more I knew, the more I wanted to know. Action is packed throughout the whole series and the adventure is just as easy to love as the characters themselves. I didn’t realize how much I loved the characters until the end of this book.Review:

You know that effect Disney has on you? When you can feel the magic, so to speak? Well, this book will give you that very same feeling, only it gives a little more than that. It’s written to the point that you smile when you read how precise the author writes in detail the surroundings in this story that aims to your senses. It’s so well written that I almost feel like I can be in the circus. Every sense is given a description to relate to and perhaps that is where the feeling of magic comes from. The story on its own is like that of the circus. Tents are all different and separate in their own marvel but still apart of the circus, just like the events in this story. Time and what may seem to be a different part of the story, come together like the tents of the circus, forming one big dream. Just when everything starts to fall apart into what seems like chaos, everything is falling into its rightful place. Though the circus is black and white, not everything in this book is as what it seems.Review:

About a week after finishing this book, I was still thinking about it. I may have read this book a little too fast and maybe I got a little over whelmed but I just couldn’t help it. In my opinion this is the best book out of the three and has the most action. It was beautifully written and the ending was very clever.Review:

Catching Fire couldn’t have been a more perfect name for this book, because that is exactly the effect this book leaves. It’s as if you watch a string that leads to a dry forest catch on the fire. You know the string is a fine small line but that doesn’t mean it won’t have the effect to cause a forest fire. The string caught on fire is this book and the forest it leads to is unfortunately the next book… Caught in the biggest cliff hanger ever I had to buy the next book literally the day after I finished reading this one. Blow after Blow against the Capital, I just had to find out where this fire would lead to. The direction in which this book blew into was not a disappointment, well… If you don’t count a cliff hanger being a disappointment that is.Review:

This book actually gave me goosebumps. It reminded me of the feeling it is to have adrenaline. I’ve never had to kill anyone or be in an arena where others try to kill me, but everything Katniss ever felt regarding adrenaline is something that we’ve all felt. As an athlete I can relate to the feeling of performing in front of a crowd like Katniss and that was something that drew me closer to the character. The Hunger Games is an entertaining book that I recommend to anyone who doesn’t like reading. Honestly it’s an easy book to like and read. Who knows, this book might get you hooked on reading. That’s exactly what this book did to me anyways.Review:
