In this part of my The Terminators (2009) review I look at the robots and how this movie ripped off 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Enslaved 4
The sunset's lovely colors poured over the forest as I headed back. The afternoon spent with Sajoki had been a lovely one. One with no fear of someone sneaking up on us because I was supposed to be out hunting alone. The dead wolf in my hand was the only proof to show that I had been out hunting.
Walking into camp I was greeted by an unhappy and stinking Tamui. "Rig," He said. "You've been out awhile and you come back with only a wolf. You are usually more cunning and clever than that." Tamui took the wolf from me and threw it down.
"Hunting wasn't good today." I replied. "It happens. I am an obake and am not all powerful."
At this moment Sajoki came in and looked at the scene. "I've been looking for you, Tamui." She said.
"I've been here all along." Tamui said. "Now that I think of it, I haven't seen you at camp all afternoon."
Sajoki looked nervous and I calmed myself down knowing that there was always a way out of this type of situation. Sajoki and I had gotten out of awkward situations similar to this before. Tamui looked at her with an angry look in his eyes that a demon would be afraid of.
"You've been having fun with him, haven't you?" Tamui hissed as he started to circle around Sajoki. This was a new move for him. "He is a newborn of his species and you've been enticing him. You've been ruining my servant!" He slapped her face and she looked at him in shock. "There is an easy way to get rid of this problem. I should've guessed before what you were doing. Should've known that Rig isn't normally as happy as he has been since you've been sleeping with him. I'll just kill you so that I may have my servant back."
I knew a way to solve this: to tell Tamui that I had not fallen for Sajoki's beauty but that I had been happier because it was my duty to look out for her. And that I had been staying away longer so that the temptation of her sweet flesh wouldn't overcome me.
I opened my mouth and she said, "No, Tamui, Rig forced himself on me and I couldn't refuse." She started to cry and fell into his arms. Tamui looked relieved. "I was afraid that Rig would kill me if I didn't continue to serve him."
Suddenly I felt a confused swarm of emotions in me. I felt betrayal at the fact that Sajoki didn't love me when I loved her. I loved her face, her taste, and the sound of her voice but I meant nothing to her. I felt anger and hatred at the fact that Tamui would take her and that she would live a peaceful life.
I turned my gaze to Sajoki and Tamui and made my decision.
Tamui looked at me and asked, "Is this true, Rig? Is it true that you have taken advantage of my future wife?"

Pretty Little Liars Season 1 (2010-2011)
I tell people I like this show and those that know me find it strange that I like it. I first found out about it when I went to see a movie and saw a preview for it. One of my friends refers to this show as my soap opera.
Show: Pretty Little Liars
Season: 1
Episodes: 22
Developed By: I. Marlene King
Based on the Book Series by: Sara Shepard
Released: 2010-2011
Rating: 3.5/5
Basic Plot: Allison is murdered and four friends deal with a person, known only as A, harassing them.
Teacher and Student Relations
Before I started watching this show I wasn't that into student and teacher pairings. In fact I didn't like any mention of them. Now I am more lenient towards them and like the Ezra and Aria (Ezria) paring. Maybe it is the fact that Aria's relationship with Ezra is the only stable one in this entire season. Well there is the final episode where some major tension is shown, but they haven't broken up as of the end of Season 1.
The Murder Mystery Aspect
This is the aspect that got me really interested in the show. Yeah, I am a little morbid with saying that. But it's true nonetheless. I wanted to know who A is and so I decided to watch the show to learn. And if any of you say Mona is A I will seriously b**chslap you.
Toby
Toby I liked because he had a mysterious element and was an outsider. He came up as a prime suspect for murdering Allison and, as of now, it is shown he didn't murder Allison. After things not working out between him and Emily he eventually started dating Spencer. They have the common thing of both being suspected of murdering Allison (though charges have been lifted from Toby). Oh, did I mention he has some abs that are out of this world? Well, you wouldn't expect to find them on a guy like Toby.
Different Than The Books
Okay, I have never read any of the Pretty Little Liars books. But, from what I've heard, the show's creators have made the A in the show different than A in the books. In fact I've heard that Noel is actually a good guy in the books where in the show he is a bad guy. In fact, he is a prime suspect for being A in the show.
The Jenna Thing
Jenna is a bad person that is so lovely to watch. She's a character that you at once hate and love. A character that you want to see more of. The four Pretty Little Liars (Aria, Hanna, Emily, and Spencer plus Allison) were the cause of Jenna being blind. Throughout most of the season it was made to seem like Jenna wasn't actually blind but, from the later episodes, Jenna is really blind which makes me want to scream bulls**t.
Paige and Emily
Emily is revealed to be a lesbian that was in love with Allison but Allison didn't love her back. Paige was first introduced as Emily's rival and now is turning out to be a possible girlfriend to Emily. I never liked Paige and her sudden change to lesbian is just so jarring I'm still feeling aftershocks. To me Paige's relationship with Emily seems more as a ploy than a real caring relationship. Hopefully Maya will return or else Emily will start a relationship with Samara.
Allison
Allison is a character that you are made to feel sad for because she was murdered and the four main characters of the show are her friends. However, throughout the season it's shown that Allison wasn't just a nice little girl but also had a darker side. It is this complexity that makes me like the character and understand why some characters would want to see her dead.
Final Thoughts
If you have any bit of testosterone in your body, you probably won't enjoy this show. The show, while having an air of mystery, is more about the relationships between the characters. The girls always have makeup on and never look beaten up in the good majority of the scenes. It is a series that you can get involved in without getting too invested. This is a great start to a hopefully pleasing series. If you want a season to have fun with, check out this one.

Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
Yes. I believe in the supernatural and have encountered at least one ghost before.

The Green: First Attack 2
The bus trip was long and boring. What made it especially hard to bear was the fact that nothing interesting was happening. For the first hour or two I listened in on conversations, but that only held my interest for so long. Mostly they talked about television shows that I had never heard about. Finally we arrived in a town called Nuscon.
Stepping off the bus, I started to walk around to find a place to stay. There were many small little shops selling items that advertised the place. These must be for what the scientists had called tourists. While looking at a t-shirt through the window, I heard some footsteps. I didn't pay them any mind because there were a lot of people walking by me.
"You new here?" A voice said and I turned around. The man was taller than any of the scientists and looked like a 'tough guy'. He was wearing clothing that called attention to his muscles. If he decided to attack me I might be in trouble.
"Yes," I replied. "I am Matthias, I just arrived here."
"Poor you." The man replied. "My name is Thomas Savan. I've lived here forever. Well, I only moved here when I left my parents." Parents. I didn't remember my parents. I did, a little, but when I thought of my father I always saw someone that looked remarkably like Makija.
My stomach growled and Thomas looked at me. "Want to go for a beer?" He asked me. I had never had alcohol before because the scientists didn't want anything to distract me.
"Sure." I replied and Thomas started walking me to what I assumed would be a bar.
We drank, talked, and ate at the bar. Thomas seemed to be unstable but grew on me the more I drank.
"So, do you have a place to stay?" Thomas asked.
"No." I said and smiled wildly. "I'm on the road with no home."
"Why don't you stay with me? You can stay in my garage."
"You just met me." I said and laughed.
"You're amusing and you have good stories. Though they all have to do with scientists. You like scientists?"
"I'm familiar with them." I replied. I couldn't say more since something kept me from saying the names of the scientists and anything specific about the lab.
"Let's go. I think I spent enough already." Thomas said, seeming to ignore my disdain for the scientists.
* * *
"Another pancake?" Thomas asked.
"Yes." I said and Thomas gave me another pancake. I liked the pancakes, though it was weird seeing Thomas do any form of cooking. But, then again, he did live by himself.
"How do you like this place after two weeks of living here?" He asked me and sat down.
"Nuscon is a good place to be."
Thomas shook his head. "You must not have been many places then."
"No, I haven't." I replied truthfully. "So when do you want me to leave?"
"I think I can support you living here a couple of months if you can't find another place." Thomas said.
After I finished my final pancake, I went to the garage and took out the Gralg ad. It appeared to be a fake drug. So why did it interest me?
