Monster Hunter:
The Monster Hunter series is a massively popular series of action-packed role-playing video games, which began with the very first game Monster Hunter for PlayStation 2, later released on many different platforms, such as home consoles, handheld consoles, and wireless devices. Monster Hunter is a game that has sold more frequently than any other action/adventure game on the market. The series has an ensemble cast, including many well-known actors and actresses, as well as some lesser known ones. This makes for an interesting cast, which has an abundance of supporting players who all play a crucial part in the unraveling of the game's many mysteries. The characters are drawn from the wide variety of monster themes, which range from dragons and vampires to zombies. The story of the Monster Hunter starts with a single player campaign, where the gamer takes on the role of a major character and start their journey in Monster Hunter. The game is set in a rural town called Lostwood. There are several central characters to the game, all of whom are hunting down monsters. These characters include a boy called Gingka who live with his uncle near a forest, a young girl called Rai and his friends, and a boy called Ryuji who are training to become a monster hunter. When he meets up with a mysterious girl called Yukari, who also wants to be a monster hunter, he decides to join her in her quest. As you play as the main character in the game, you will start off with a number of starter weapons, some armor, and certain monsters to fight. You will be able to find items, called 'amins', that will restore your energy after every battle. These special items will increase your ability to kill monsters, so it is important to make sure you know what you're doing before heading out into the wilderness. This is the basis of your character in the Monster Hunter franchise: you need to know your job before going into it! To help you get started, the Monster Hunter tutorials introduce you to each of the different classifications of equipment. You can pick up one of them, or learn all of them if you're willing to invest in your education. The basic weapon and armor classifications include the Polearms, Claw Axe, Clubs, Javelin, Heavy Sword, Axe, Spear, Bows, Staves, and the Crossbow. Each of these carries a certain specialty, such as a Bow's accuracy bonus, or a Javelin's attack speed buff. Monster Hunters also have a special paintball called Palico that they use to move quickly between areas. Monster Hunter has been one of the most successful video games ever made, and was later turned into an anime TV series, written and directed by Japanese movie director Takumi Ogasawara. The game received critical acclaim from virtually everyone who played it, and its continued popularity is reflected in the countless video games, movies, anime TV series, trading cards, clothing, and collectibles now available. The Monster Hunter series has evolved to become a year-round event, with new monsters being introduced and released every month, along with multiple expansion packs. For fans who haven't played the original Monster Hunter game, the pre-launch Nintendo DS version was met with mixed reviews because of the control scheme. Since its release, however, the Monster Hunter Portable handheld version has received excellent reviews from critics and fans alike. Monster Hunter is the brainchild of a freelance video game writer named Ciro Kawasaki, who also served as the voice of Dr. Isaac's in the Game and later on as Alucard in the later episodes of the TV series. Monster Hunter is the result of years of play testing and research, leading Kawasaki to create monsters and equipment based on real-world information. The result is an online community dedicated to sharing tips, strategies, and information regarding Monster Hunter, with an active forum to interact with other hunters across the globe. Although there are a number of paid online strategies guides available, the fact remains that Monster Hunter is truly one of the most addictive games out there--which is good, because there's only one kind of hunting monster that you'll have to face: the formidable and powerful Gorgon.

Space Sweepers:
In Amazon's new blockbuster movie starring Brad Pitt and Anne Hathaway, Space Sweepers is about an all-humanoid robot who is sent on a space mission with the US military to save mankind from an impending attack on Earth from the Badlands. Once snatching up a crashed space shuttle from another universe, the crew of Space Sweepers discover a 7-year-old girl trapped inside. They then realise that she is the first human-like robotic life-size robot ever designed by Uuits Space Guards and consequently want to demand a monetary reward in return for her freedom. The movie starts off as the US military command takes control of all humanoid androids and assigns them to patrol the perimeter of the space facility, and then begins to program each one of them to perform specific duties should an emergency arise. One such robot, called Solarbolt, is especially created to keep an eye on the solar flares which are responsible for disrupting the solar system. This robot proves invaluable as it is programmed to stop bad guys from destroying the space station, which includes shutting down the communication links with Earth. It also makes the final push to destroy Badlands, the home of the Badlands natives and their sole fuel source. Due to its incredible programming skills, this robot is able to destroy almost all of the Badlands without any difficulty, including the evil Doctor Dark Cloud and his goons. However, the movie creators make sure to keep it a secret from the Earthlings, so only the few high-level officials are allowed to see it. The only one who gets to see the robot is Dr. David Stoneburner, an astronaut who goes on a suicide mission in order to sabotage the impending invasion. Other robots are also sent to protect Earth from the menace, such as the RoboScorpion, and the T-Rex. Although the film shows much more of the Earth than we have seen in other animated science fiction films, it does tend to lose some of the humor that made the original series so popular. A new character, called the World-eater, appears in the sequel and proves to be more dangerous than the original robot, because he can eat anything he wants. He goes on a hunger-feeding frenzy and completely destroys the Badlands once and for all. This makes the original character, whom we met at the beginning of the series, jealous and angry that he was left out of the lunch. The destruction of the Badlands is what starts the series in full gear, and the subsequent battles between the robot and the World-eater are even more thrilling. The original TV series was canceled after a third season, but the film rights were sold to another company, allowing the creation of the Space Sweepers series. The popularity of the original series has led to spinoffs, such as the Starchaser and the Aerialbots. Though both robots are quite different from each other, they are still in pretty good shape when they appear in their own respective movies. Each robot in their own film also represents something different from the original robot. They go through upgrades, battle new enemies, and develop their own ways of destroying bad guys' spaceships. Both the original TV series and the movie adaptation are quite different from one another. The original had more adventure, while the movie had more humor. They also had amazing music by John Williams. Williams did the score for the original TV series, while he did the same for the movie version. Space Sweepers is another classic animated science fiction film that any fan of the genre will love. It is worth watching, whether you have seen the TV series or not.

Tom & Jerry:
"Tom and Jerry" are the classic animated cartoon about two young lovers who live in an imaginary world. These lovable characters have captured the imagination of children and adults for over 50 years. One of my favorite things about this film is the candy-themed candy and souvenirs that are sold in movie theaters. This theme is carried over well in creating a set of four new collectible candy Tom & Jerry collectibles available from four different manufacturers. These sweet sweets can be made as part of a collector's item or personal gift. The choice is up to you! Prepare the spice blend by mixing together the allspice, cinnamon and cloves. Cut the yolk from the egg. Place the whites in a non-reactive bowl and gently beat them into stiff, high peaks. In your Tom & Jerry Bowl (also, of course, another ceramic bowl) or other porcelain bowl, beat the yolk into thick peaks again. You will have several of these peaks left over. Now, you can add this spiced yolk to the bottom of a clean, dry tea pot, which has been covered with water. Next, boil the milk in a small sauce pan. Once the milk begins to boil, remove it from the heat. Fill the pan with the simmering water and place the sugar cubes inside. If necessary, add a few drops of water or liquid smoke as well. Allow the sugar mixture to steep for approximately three minutes. Once it's finished steeping, remove it from the heat and stir in the yeast. After your sugar mixture is done, it's time to make your favorite candies in the shape of Tom & Jerry. Gather all of your pieces and wrap them individually in a piece of wax paper. Wrap the package in wax paper and put into the wax pan. Add any other candy ingredients (sugar, licorice etc) and allow them to steep for approximately two minutes. Once they are finished steeping, remove them from the heat and allow them to cool off. Once your Tom & Jerry candy molds are cool, remove them from the heat and place them in their sealable plastic bags. You can then seal them up in the freezer until ready to assemble into a candy mold. Before you do so, you should run a hot water bath over the pieces to prevent them from sticking together. Once you're sure they're completely cool off, remove the plastic bag of your Tom & Jerry and pour the water into your mold. Now that you know how easy it is to make your own movie themed sweets, you may want to think about making some of them for your own special occasions. If you're planning a movie night at your house, you could even make some molds of popcorn. You can then put the different colors on top of each and put them in a tin. Then your guests can take one out at the party and have their own copy of the movie!

Outside the Wire:
Outside the Wire is finally set to arrive for subscribers later this January. Netflix has officially confirmed that the first episode of the film will be arriving on that day. For hardcore fans of the show, it comes as no surprise that they will wait until such an important day to watch it. Fans can also expect a number of special features that were not revealed in the trailers and TV spots. The plot of Outside the Wire revolves around an American civil war. The movie takes place at various points in the Civil War era. Ditching the history textbook style of storytelling, Outside the Wire tells the story from the characters' viewpoints. This adds a unique and interesting slant on an otherwise conventional war film. Take a look at some of their key scenes below. Several months before the main events of the film take place, a pair of teenagers become stranded deep in the woods after being attacked by a mysterious and strong drone. When they manage to make it to the closest town, they meet an attractive young woman (Emma Stone) who carries a strange remote. The two become lovers and are forced to flee from the town. A couple of months later, Stone returns home while the camera is covering the town's civil war anniversary. An alternative timeline occurs six months before the events of Outside the Wire. In this alternate timeline, Idris Elba plays the role of a drone pilot for the military. He meets an attractive young woman online who becomes his lover. Shortly thereafter, the two of them are captured and placed into separate cells. Stone is spared but gets the same treatment when he decides to escape. Two years later, he is recruited by an elite commando team that is searching for a man called Killian Treadway, who is presumed dead after being missing for several years. To discover the truth, Treadway joins forces with Elba as they rescue an imprisoned Treadway and free his wife, played by Jennifer Santos. Once they complete the mission, Treadway makes it clear that he wants to find out why his former lover became a drone, and why she decided to marry a computer hacker with special skills in utilizing classified government databases. The movie ends with Treadway and Elba embracing and loving one another, just as the Wire character does in the series. Outside the Wire is based on real-life events. Its story is an intriguing portrayal of how relationships can deteriorate when the characters involved are either too close or too far away from each other. Elba plays the role of a young man whose romantic life is quickly destroyed by the death of a friend, which thrusts him into a life of paranoia and constant worry. He eventually realizes that his only means of keeping his sanity is to become a drone hunter and kill those that have crossed his path. Although the story is fictional, it accurately presents the milieu and the difficulties faced by the android captain, Elba, and the other military commandos as they work to protect the United States of America and bring peace to their country.
