  I just saw The Princess and the Frog

  

  Hey. I just came back from the theaters with my sister, her bodyfriend and a friend of hers. We all saw The Princess and the Frog. And I really enjoyed this film. It really reminded me of the good old days of Disney, much like Enchanted did. I really love the characters Ray and Louis, the animation looks beautiful, the songs are great and overall, it really brings back the magic that Disney lack for the last few years and that's saying a lot. The only thing I didn't care for was the climax where it deals all the main characters facing the Voo Doo man. I think that climax didn't really grab me unlike other climaxes in the other princess films that Disney made like The Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin and Sleeping Beauty.

  Overall, I really love this film. And I would recommend you guys check it out if you haven't seen it. I don't think it's one of Disney's best films. I don't. But, it is a breath of fresh air in comparsions to many of the crap that Disney has made in the past. But the exceptions are Enchanted, Pixar and all of the Hayao Miyazaki animes that Disney dubbed.

  So again, go see this film in theaters if you haven't and I'll see you guys later.

  What else I've been doing for the last year Part 2

  Welcome to Part 2 of my blog of what I've been doing for the last year. First of all, I want to clarify something. Some of you thought I literally bought all of the DVD's on my list of DVD's I currently own, at least that's what I think. If that's what you're thinking, I didn't buy all of those DVD's on that list. Some of the DVD's I owned were here even before my hiatus like my Godfather collection, Spider-Man 1-2, X-Men 1-2, The Pagemaster and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But some certain films like Die Hard, Speed, The Fifth Element, Equilibrium, Letters from Iwo Jima, True Romance, Shoot 'Em Up and Hard Boiled are examples of movies I bought in 2009. So, I apologize for not leaving a note on a certain DVD that I bought in 2009. Anyway, let's get on with this blog.

  Next, I will talk about my game collection. Honestly, I haven't really been buying a lot of games in 2009 because I wasn't really much of a gamer at that point, then how I was in animes and movies. But, I did maybe a few games in 09 and I bought a lot just recently, like a couple of days ago. I mentioned in my blog post that I got rid of my Game Gear because I was bored with it. I also got rid of some certain games I used to have like Dirge of Cerberus, James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing, Syphon Filter and a few others. So with that being said, let me show you the games I currently and this time, I will leave out a sign on the ones I bought last year and recently. When it saids "Recently bought", that means I bought a couple of days ago. If it saids "2009", then you get the idea.

  Well, those are my games that I currently own and I mentioned all the ones that I bought a couple of days ago and last year. Now for some other things to mention.

  You guys may remember in 2007 when one of my Gamespot friends, blofa or Anthony, came over to my house all the way from Canada just to play games with me and my family. You remember that? Well, he did it again this last Christmas and the day after. He actually gave me the 3 Crash games for the PS2 for Christmas. It was in one of those 3 pack games you might see in certain video game stores. He also gave me burned copies of songs from a couple of bands he listen's to, which are Nirvana and The Vines. We actually played games on the Wii like Guitar Hero 5, Rock Band 2, Mario Kart Wii, Brawl, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 and WarioWare: Smooth Movies. It was really great having him over again.

  And lastly for the last year, I've been getting a lot of collectibles like a couple of Death Note chain necklaces, a wall scroll of L from Death Note, a katana, a replica of a keyblade from Kingdom Hearts, a drawing of Marvel vs. Capcom, a Sonic plush doll, a plush doll of one of Jeff Dunham's puppets named Peanut, a replica of a Death Note book and an anime drawing of me that an artist drew in my last anime convention I've been to.

  So, that's all the stuff I've been doing since I was gone. I'll try to keep you all updated on what I will do in the future and I don't know if I'm ever going to do game reviews or make videos on here again, since I got rid of them all. But, time will tell on when I do reviews again.

  See you guys, later.

  What else I've been doing for the last year Part 1

  This is like a continuation of my last post that I did a couple of days ago. This will go into 2 parts because I don't want to make this post drag on and on.First of all, I've read all of your comments on my last post and I'm really happy that you guys missed me. I missed being on here also, even my mother misses me being on here. Isn't that strange? Anyway, this is post me telling what I've been doing for the last year in terms of anything special, updating my game collection and etc. Cause I have a feeling that a lot of people a little bit about what I have been doing on my long hiatus. So, let's get started.

  First around early 2009, I've been watching certain reviews of a very famous internet star named Nostalgia Critic.

  

  Very funny guy. I actually like him a lot more then Angry Video Game Nerd. He does reviews on a website called ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com, where I also got into a couple of other reviewers like Chester A. Bum and Linkara.

  In my last post, I've mentioned that I been to my first 2 anime conventions and in each convention, I've actually talked to a certain voice actor. In my first convention, I talked to a voice actor named Robert Axelrod, who is well known for voicing Lord Zedd in one of my favorite90's TV Shows as a child, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

  

  And in my second convention, I talked to Terrence C. Carson, the man who voiced Kratos in the God of War games. Now, I actually talked to him before I even got into the games. But, he was a very nice guy and very fun to talk to.

  

  Now over the last year, I have been watching a lot of animes. I mean, a lot. But I can't put them all on here because I don't want to make this post longer. So, I am going to put a link of my list of animes I've seen during my time on Gamespot and during my hiatus combined on my account on MyAnimeList.net.
