Day 6 of our 12 days of Christmas

You know the lizard, but you've never seen it like this... Listen along and find out.

Original Review:

Godzilla the way remember him or something more. Here we see a nuclear protester turned scientist that is in for much more than he bargained for. While quietly researching worms he gets commandeered by the US government to study something unexplainable. What he finds is beyond imagination... A beast that according to folklore terrorizes all that it comes across. Soon, they discover not only the destruction but something more. This is a game changer and they know they have to stop it at all costs. As humans, we've been the dominant species for generations... This discovery could bring that to an end... After figuring out what it is after, they come up with a plan to lure him out. Where they find it is the unlikeliest place. Madison Square Garden is ground zero. That instinct was not to harm us but to protect what was most important to it. When we get in the way of that, things change yet again and we are no longer a stumbling block but the target itself. Who will win this epic battle? Will we cease to be the dominant species on this planet? or Will we defeat Godzilla? Cinematically this is brilliant with the special effects and CGI. Definitely, a different look at a monster we're so familiar with. The most disappointing part looking back was there is a perfect opening for the story to continue and even after 16 years, nothing has been done. Never say never...

Day 5 of our 12 days of Christmas

We fought them once, we were victorious... What will happen now?

Original Review:

We always knew they'd come back... We thought we'd be ready... We had no idea. With twenty (20) years to prepare, our advancements in technology have expanded astronomically. The thing is, even with everything, there's no way we could have been prepared for this. Last time, it was as simple as infecting them with a virus to make them vulnerable to our attacks. This time they have the upper hand. As the best of the best take to the skies against these foes, you will find many recognizable faces along the way. Even though we have all of our advancements, there is something that we couldn't have been prepared for. This surprise is one that we probably couldn't face alone, an unlikely ally will help in ways that were unimaginable prior to this. Only this now opens the door for even more... Will we win this epic battle? or will this be the end of civilization as we know it? That can only be answered upon watching this epic-ly unusual sequel to Independence Day. This feels like a compilation of ideas from many other major motion pictures. There are bits and pieces that will feel out of place but as whole there is a flow to this. A surprising adventure that ends up as much as a comedy as anything else. Does is successfully add to the story, definitely, but it just doesn't live up to the hype. There is hope for it though as this gives the idea that there will be more to come... Come watch this and decide for yourself if you want to see more...

***Posse***

They're baaaack!! If you were expecting a fun alien flick like the first one but with higher stakes and more destruction, well here ya go. It's been 20 years since the first movie. We had to prepare for their return and did they ever return. However, the gap of Will Smith's character was definitely felt. Sure we had some flashes of him but it missed a bit without him. Their ship is roughly the size of the entire United States if not more. That's definitely bigger than the last one! The disaster portion of the movie was fun to watch and the magnitude of the invaders was definitely bigger (you'll see what I mean). Now that's what I call a close encounter! Wait...that was the first one. So, do we win again? Do we pull it off in time? We do know that We will not go quietly into the night, We won't go down without a fight..! Of course, we won't. It has its flaws but it's a fun summer alien/comedy/end of the world (again) flick. Go have fun and watch as we take them on once again. -- Kevinﾠ(5.5/10)

Day 4 of the 12 days of Christmas

In 1776, the United States of America gained Independence... Now it's the world's turn

Original Review:

Independence Day will never be the same. What started as an American holiday will soon become a day celebrated by the entire world. As people throughout America prepared to celebrate the 4th, there was something ominous approaching the planet that none could have ever imagined. When the visitors begin to make themselves known, it is met with a mixed reaction from panic to those that wanted to welcome them. The military took a different stance, a stance of precaution. It soon progressed into a worldwide phenomenon instead of a localized one and it took the collective efforts of great minds and great military forces around the world. What will it take to save the planet from this impending invasion? Will humanity even survive? This tests the limits of sci-fi thrillers regarding humanity but in such a way that it draws you in deeper and deeper as the story progresses. An absolutely brilliant compilation of ideas from some of the greatest science fiction innovators brought to us in a way that will make us look up into the stars and wonder. Have you ever looked up and questionedﾠwhat's out there? If not... you will after watching this. Come celebrate Independence Day in a way that will give you an appreciation for freedom in a way like never before.

President Whitmore's Speech

In less than an hour aircraft from here will join others from around the world,
And you will be largest aerial battle in the history of mankind,
Mankind - that word should have new meaning for all of us today,
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore,
We will be united in our common interests,
Perhaps it's fate that today's the 4th of July,
And you will once again be fighting for our freedom,
Not from tyranny oppression or persecution,
But from annihilation,
We're fighting for our right to live to exist,
And should we win the day,
The the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday,
But as the day when the world declared in one voice,
We will not go quietly into the night,
We will not vanish without a fight,
We're going to live on,
We're going to survive,
Today we celebrate our Independence Day,

Day 2 of our 12 days of Christmas

You know about WWII but do you know about Midway? You're about to...

Original Review:

The attack on Pearl Harbor was one of the most defining moments of WWII, but it wasn't the only defining moment. So many other moments defined history during this time frame. One that many are unaware of is the battle of Midway. The Japanese were planning a strategic attack on Midway because they thought an attack there would secure their victory after what they had done at Pearl Harbor... and they were right. Fortunately, some intelligence was intercepted allowing America to prepare for the upcoming attack. The only problem, most of our forces that would have been used to defend Midway had been destroyed. The heroic actions of numerous individuals forever changed the course of history. This is that story, their story, the story of Midway and of the brave souls that went above and beyond to do whatever was necessary. Had it not been for those brave individuals, WWII would have had a drastically different outcome. History fans will certainly be enthralled by the historic accuracy of this presentation. As with anything in Hollywood, there are moments that are more for entertainment than history but it doesn't deflect from the story that's told. This isn't a typical fun date movie, it's a historical presentation that is aimed at those who can appreciate the idea that if we fail to learn history, we are doomed to repeat it.

Original Review:

There are few things that are certain in life. One of them is simple for many, answering the question of who their parents are. This story is about one of the few amongst many (the few are more than many realize). Urban Quint, a child that was left to the care of an orphanage at a young age struggled with this seemingly simple question. As time went on, his mother came back into his life and brought him to America. Time and the truth were not on his side, instead of being able to express himself, he was forced to bottle it up as he didn't know what to do with the emotions involved. His son, David, decided that he wanted to know more about his dad's story. Only, the deeper he dug, the more frustrated others became. Years had taken their toll on the man that David simply knew as dad. Only Urban was much more than someone's dad, he was someone's son, was there even more... Who knows... Together, Urban and David traveled together to put together the missing pieces of Urban's life. Treading into the past can be a tricky path, paved with uncertainty, heartache, and pain. Pain, that could lead to healing, but only if answers can be found. An utterly emotional journey through one man's search for self (with the help of his son). Deep devotion to such a simple truth will be anything but, yet together they have the determination to see it through. To find out the conclusion to this story, check out FatherUnKNOWn.com
