My guilty pleasure

Return of Vampire diaries beings March 12. Now, some people have a problem with vampire and werewolves considering we see so many similar stories nowadays. However, I must admit Vampire diaries and the Originals are my guilty pleasure. If you haven't heard of the originals it is understandable. But, The vampire diaries have been on for years and continue to go strong. The originals is a spin off of vampire diaries focusing on the original vampire family, the Michealson's. Claus, known to be the cruelest, heartless bastard of the family gets a werewolf Haley; who was introduced in the vampire diaries, pregnant. 

This unheard of pregnancy with a immortal vampire and werewolf was defiantly a plot twist in the story. It makes the baby… a miracle, or some would say curse. The Michealson's were not aware of their family curse at first. The first born in every generation of the family if supposed to be an offered sacrifice. The Michealson's have to send away their baby and attempt to fake her death to save her. Alliances form and the stakes get higher for the community in New Orleans. 

New orleans is the home of vampires, warewolves, witches and even non-sumernatural people. The communities have overlapped and have had peace for the most part.  But the continuous power struggle between these groups is an on going problem. There are a few power hungry people that get in the way of true peace in New Orleans. Every side has their story,  their goals and at least one person who want to ruin the peace for their selfish reasons. Everyone wants to claim New Orleans as their home and will do anything to up the antis if necessary. 

I cannot wait for more of this story to unravel and find out if klaus can be the loving father we all know he is capable of. You can see with Klaus's character that he is changing and evolving from the evil vampire he was in the Vampire Diaries to now. He wasn't always a murderous blood thirsty killer, but a person who was dealt an unfortunate hand. He had an abusive, unloving father named Nick, who was plotting klaus's death. In every waking moment Nick obsessed over destroying Klaus. Klaus was the result of his mothers unfaithfulness. I feel for this character in a way. Despite his cruelness in the past. I hope to see him in a different light in the seasons to come. But hey, he will always be the misfit of the family and that truly defines him as a character. Tune in on the CW to watch what happens and who comes out on top.

Thoughts on OZ The Great And The Powerful

"Oz The Great And The Powerful" is a prequel film to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". The star of the film James Franco is a magician who ends up in the this mystical land, complicating the lives of several witches, Evanora, Glinda, and Theodora, played by Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis. As the troubled magician tries to cope with his struggles with the women, he soon finds himself heading down a path that exposes him to his prominent destiny.

Director, Sam Raimi seems to have created a colorful and vibrant style of the land of Oz for all types of audiences to experience with a great sense of familiarity and new astonishment. The colors are so beautiful and practically pop out of the big screen. Disney used this similar approach of bright colors and outstanding effects for their fantastic film, "Alice In Wonderland". I think anyone could be excited about the release of this film.


For me, the most outstanding part of the HD trailer is the clearly the opening. We (the audience) are brought back to a Kansas in a dilapidated state, in all black and white footage. Those scenes immediately bring back direct memories of the original Oz movie, which was created by King Vidor. With the drastic difference between the black and white scenes and then the magnificent rainbow, and then the vibrant colors of the main plot, creates even more drastic contrast.When it comes to the for three leading female actresses, Weisz is certainly not the most evil of witches we’ve ever seen but has the potential, and Mila Kunis seems to be a little out of place. But, Michelle Williams seems to have effortlessly slipped into her role as Glinda the “good” witch who would go on to, as we all know, give a girl named Dorothy some very important ruby slippers.

I really think everyone should go out and see this film. I doubt Raimi is going to upset anyone.







Enjoy!
