Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
Well it's time for another film review and for all you who cannot wait for Halloween are in for a real treat this week. Because this week the film will really get you in the mood for Saturday. And if you don't like Halloween or not a horror fan then maybe you should stop reading this post right now and wait for the next one. But if your someone who can't get enough gore than you are in the right place. Now let;s get started with the review of Crimson Peak.
First thing is the way I would describe this film is gory, graphic, freaky and disturbing. So basically everything that Guillermo del Toro is known for. When I first saw the trailer and I saw Guillermo del Toro directed it, I knew it had to be gory. And that was just fine with me because for me the bloodier a horror movie is, the better. Because what's the point of watching horror if its not gory. Another reason I wanted to see the film is because I was looking for a film I could watch in Halloween. I enjoy watching horror movies on Halloween, its the best time to watch horror and try to scare yourself. So this movie was a good way to say goodbye to October 2015. I also enjoy watching Tom Hiddelston play a role that is not Marvel related. It gives him a chance to branch out in his acting. Though I do love him as Loki but every now and then its nice to see him playing a different role. And his role in this was the furthest from Loki then he could possibly get. And he was great as well as the other actors in it and everything the role called for them to do, they did. The acting was one of the things that made the movie really fun to watch.
What I thought was clever was the way they edited the trailer was misleading then what the film actually is. When I first saw the trailer I thought the movie was going to an haunted house type of thing but it was the exact opposite. And I like that the trailer did that because that's what the trailer is supposed to do. Make you think one thing so you will be surprised when you actually see the movie. And as I was watching the film I was surprised at every turn and it made the movie that much more enjoyable. Because it was more surprising that meant there were more moments that either made you jump or made you think "oh shit" which is always the best part of a horror movie.
On top of being gory it was also graphic, they showed things that are normally covered in most movies or at the very least tamed down. But this film is rated "R" so enough said. Now pretty much everything about the film is disturbing but what makes it truly disturbing is the climax where everything is revealed. Now I won't give it away but lets just say if and when you do see it, you are going to "oh my God" or "so that's what was going on on the whole time." And that is what really seals it of being a really good horror flick.
So if you guys want to have your pants scared right off of you, or your looking for something to do on Halloween then I suggest you check out Crimson Peak. It is a gory, graphic, freaky and disturbing film that you will be able to watch every Hallows eve.

The Big Bang Theory Taping
Hello Everyone,
Spoiler Alert!!!!!
So this week is going to be a little different, I don't have a movie to review this week. Instead I was lucky enough to get tickets to see The Big Bang Theory being taped. So I thought it would be fun to tell you guys of that experience. Now I really like The Big Bang Theory and I have wanted to see a taping of it for a while. But tickets are really hard to come by. So I was glad when something came up for it. Alright let's get started with discussing my experience of The Big Bang Theory taping.
1) Getting the tickets
The Big Bang Theory is a popular show, everyone wants to see it being taped. Now you can get tickets and for free to but it is incredibly difficult. The way I got them was the web site www.tvtickets.com, but I didn't get them the first time I went on the site. I had to keep checking back, the key is persistence and patience, just keep checking the site. The funny thing is I wasn't expecting to get tickets at all. I just got home from work one night and check the web site and noticed there were standby tickets available so I jumped at the chance. The only thing was they were standby so I knew I had to get there very early.
2) The waiting game
The day of the taping came, my dad took the day off, I was off and we were picking my mom up at a certain time from her day job. Here's something to make sure to do before you go and that is make sure you eat a good breakfast because once you get there and get in line you do not want to get out. Unless you go with some people then one of you can do a food run. But you will get hungry. For The Big Bang Theory make sure you get there at least at noon probably no later then one o'clock. Especially if you have standby tickets. Around 3:30 the audience coordinators take you to the waiting area of the parking structure. This is when they tell you to put your cellphones in the car. That's right there is no cellphones or any electronic devices allowed in the studio. They take guarantee ticket holders and people that decide to do the VIP first. Then they take standby ticket holders. And they don't take all the standbys that's why you have to get there early. If you don't get in, they take you to an auditorium and you watch from there, but that wouldn't be any fun. The funny thing we weren't expecting to get in, they let in 42 standbys and we were 34, 35 and 36. So we got very lucky and it was worth it.
3) At the taping
When we got into the studio, they check our bags one more time and if anybody still had their cellphone they kept them until the end. They sat us down and in the studio 200 people could fit so they really packed us in. Before the taping began we got to see a brand new episode that hadn't aired. Then after that they announce cast introductions which it is hard to see the cast because everyone stand up. But that's okay because you see them enough when the taping starts. We were lucky they built a new set and we got to see three to four scenes shot right in front of us. The other set was around the corner so we had to watch it on the monitors, still cool. Now the cast doesn't mess up too much, can't afford to, but they mess up and that's funny. The taping ended at 10:00 PM and the cast do not sign autographs so when they its time to go, its time to go.
Overall it was an interesting experience but also a long day and night. Tapings for the show are Tuesdays from 6:30 PM to 10:00 PM.
