A deep seething hate continued coming into my blood. It started to make me burn from the inside out and I looked at the two humans. Tamui who owned me and Sajoki who owned my heart. I hated Sajoki. I hated the human woman with a hate that I didn't think was possible.
Suddenly a fear came to me that Tamui would take revenge upon me for sleeping with his woman. Maybe if I waited the fear would be revealed to be unfounded. But what I felt for those two made me react in a way I hadn't before. Nor did I think I would ever react so before I felt this way.
As Tamui waited for my answer, I turned both of my arms into blades. They were bone but were nonetheless very deadly. Tamui didn't even have a blink of an eye to wait before my right arm connected with his neck. The cut started with a small stream of blood going outwards until his head came off and the stream became heavier and went downwards. I felt my bonds from him being broken and I realized that I was finally free.
Sajoki let go of him and then she turned to look me in the eyes. In her eyes I thought I read a hint of sorrow for what she had done. Of course the truth of the matter was that she was only frightened of death. And, with me being free, I was free to kill her.
My left arm connected with the bosom that once brought me joy and the heart that I thought was mine. I kept my arm in her and she collapsed. After what seemed like millennia, the life in her eyes left and the only sound from her was the blood leaving her body.
I looked at her dead eyes and the impact of what I did finally caught up to me. Removing my arm from her, and changing my arms back into human arms and hands, I finally realized my love was dead. The anger was draining from me and I felt fear. What if someone discovered that I had murdered Sajoki?
I ran outside of the tent and shifted into a crow and took off. I circled around the camp for awhile and saw people going toward the tent that Sajoki and Tamui had died in. I flew away from the camp and traveled for hours trying to get away from the image of Sajoki's dead body and the memory of the extreme anger I had felt.
I couldn't take it any longer and landed on the shore of a lake. I then shifted into a human and looked at myself in the lake's water. My reflection showed a broken heart and eyes that were finally opened. I also saw Sajoki in only her skin next to me. I quickly turned and realized that I had only imagined her. She would never be next to me again. I forgave her for everything and asked for her to be brought back to life. After I did that tears flowed down my face. It became so great that I fell into the lake and my tears and the water became one.

Get Low (2009)
This is a big downer. I mean, wow. Some movies are sad but this one actually surprises you in how down it gets.
Title: Get Low
Director: Aaron Schneider
Starring: Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, and Sissy Spacek
Rated: PG-13
Released: 2009
Rating: 4.5/5
Basic Plot: Felix Bush decides to hold a funeral party before his death so he can tell everyone the secret that had made him become a hermit.
Meaning of the Title
The title, at first glance, makes zero sense. However it is explained in the movie. It means to get everything in order before you die. That's really what this movie is about. Felix Bush realizes he is getting old and decides to get everything in order.
Get Sad
I nearly cried at the end of this movie (I got all teary eyed) and was unprepared for it. For the majority of the film it seems to be a dark comedy and by the end it's full on tragedy. I mean what else can you call it when it's revealed Felix ended up causing a woman's death (long story).
Love
Felix is in love with Mary Lee whose death he caused. He loved her and he still does (even going so far as never taking up another relationship and becoming a hermit). The romance is handled past sweetly. You first see her in a picture and wonder who she is but know that she is very important. I don't fully agree with Felix's love of Mary Lee but it's a big part of his life. In fact, it's only after he admits what happened that he sees a ghost of her and dies with a smile on his face.
Good Acting
I have to say that the majority of acting in this film is top notch. Actors just don't say their lines well but their faces also react fully to the emotions that they're portraying. I liked Lucas Black because his expressions were usually very amusing. The only problems I found were Bill Murray (his facial expressions didn't match to the others in the film) and Bill Cobbs (he seemed capable of only two types of expression with his face).
Final Thoughts
This is a very good film to see. If you like movies that are good on the characters and not so much on the action, this is one you should check out. This is (from imdb): A movie spun out of equal parts folk tale, fable and real-life...
And the poster even boasts "A True Tall Tale". What that means is that it's based a little on fact but probably didn't happen as the movie states. It's a good movie nonetheless, though. But watch it with a tissue handy.

Would you rather watch a movie in the theater or at home?
I would like to watch one at home for the sole reason I can pause it and leave to go to the restroom. However, movie theaters have bigger screens.

When you're lost, are you more likely to ask for directions or find your way without help?
Depends where I'm lost. If it's in the neighborhood I keep walking. Usually I travel with other people but I would ask for directions if I was ever lost.

The A-Team (2010)
I have never watched the original The A-Team. However, this was one wild and fun ride to sit through.
Title: The A-Team
Director: Joe Carnahan
Starring: Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, and Sharlto Copley
Rated: PG-13
Released: 2010
Rating: 4/5
Basic Plot: The A-Team has been imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit and must prove their innocence.
Comedic Nature
This movie, to me, is a great blend of comedy and action. There are explosions and deaths, no worries there. But there is a light feel to most of the movie. Things happen that, in a more serious film, wouldn't happen. A shinning example of this is the A-Team flying a tank and landing it safely (well, sort of). That was a wow moment for me and did get a chuckle out of me.
Fear of Flying
I have a big fear of flying. I don't like heights or stairs, for that matter. It is with that mindset that I can understand BA. At least in that regard. In one part of the movie he is knocked out (with drugs) and another where he is fooled into flying (though not in a plane). While the fear is real, I could laugh at those scenes. Whether it was because I held the same fears or it was funny, I don't know.
BA's Spiritual Problems
This subplot annoyed me. It was stupid and I didn't like it. This movies comes and tells me that this badass of a character suddenly converts to a form of pacifism just because he was in jail for six months. No, I'm sorry, I don't buy that. It didn't rear its ugly head up too often and was finally resolved in the end (with him going back to his old ways).
Murdock is a Joy
Maybe it is my love for the WTF, but I love Murdock in this movie. He is basically a crazed doctor who is sometimes praised for his cooking. He is also a pilot. Murdock does show his strength at the end by being shot at in the head (though he is protected from the bullets). I would say that Murdock is my favorite character in the movie.
Final Thoughts
I would say that if you like comedy and action that you will enjoy this movie. The movie is full of interesting subplots that are mostly resolved and made me wish for more at the end of it. Liam Neeson is, of course, awesome as Hannibal. There are throwbacks to the original A-Team. Oh, and the 3D movie part is pure win.

The Green: First Attack 3
"Watch out!" Thomas yelled as I nearly went face first into a cactus. I stopped just in time and shook my head. It wouldn't have been the first time that I had run into a cactus today.
"Thanks." I said and looked around for any other objects. Thomas had decided that today would be a great day for me to explore. Unfortunately, he had decided to take me out where there was no one else. So if we got in trouble, no one could help us. But, then again, I should've expected something like that from Thomas.
Looking up I saw that the sun would set in a few hours. I shook my head, Thomas and I had been out in this unknown area nearly all day. Luckily, though, we had brought supplies. Unfortunately, they would run out soon.
"We should start heading home soon." Thomas said. "It'll probably take us around an hour or so to get back to our car."
"Are you ever going to tell me why we are out here?" I asked.
"Does everything need a reason?" Thomas replied and I sighed. Maybe I should have some beer so that Thomas would seem sane to me.
After a little bit, Thomas looked down at a small plant. I could see what type it was: algae. Looking at it I tried to think of why it was out here and what exactly it was.
"Do you know what this is?" Thomas asked.
"No." I replied.
"This will be fun." He said and scraped a little of it off the rock it had been on. He looked at it for a moment and then ate it. "No harm done."
"For now." I replied and thought about taking him to the ER if something should happen. It was remarkably stupid for him to put an unknown substance in his mouth. But I knew that even if I had known what he was going to do I couldn't have stopped him.
"Come on," He said. "Let's go back to the car and go home."
I followed behind Thomas so that if anything should happen I could react quickly. For the first ten minutes nothing happened and then Thomas' walk got slower and his breathing got heavy.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
"Probably just a passing phase. Besides, we need to get to the car." He said and we continued on.

This is in the same series as The Host but I started to change the title with this video to The Host Rant.
