Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth Volume 1

Yesterday I went to my book store and recieved a book I ordered, the title of the book is Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations Volume 1. Now I'm going to review it. Case 1: Turnabout Costume One time, I reviewed a fan-translation of this comic and my review is just the same as it was last time. Case 2: Turnabout Last Number When Edgeworth and Gumshoe go to a Farewell Consort for a fictional band Bird Wing, when a murder happens! Miles Edgeworth finds himself in the middle of another investigation! Who did it? When did they do it? HOW did they do it? Overall this was one of the best AA Mangas yet, but it does fall in some departments: It is missing it's comedy that PW:AA Manga had and even the AAI:ME Game had. But young AA readers beware, there is more gore and mild language but I still enjoy it and am looking forward to the next 3 Volumes. Art: Kazuo Maekawa did a great job on making this manga's art style simliar to the games! 10/10 Writing: Kenji Kuroda tries to mak the wrting similar to Takumi's and Yamazaki's writing in the series and for the most part it works. The ony problem is that the cases are solved fast by Edgeworth and sometimes the readers can't catch up to him but for the most part it's great. 8/10 9/10

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire


7.0/10
This is a decent sequel to a amazing book. But it suffers from many problems
- Slow start
- Disappointing ending to the Games
- The new characters wasn't as compelling as the original tributes
- Character changes in personality. Katniss is easily frustrated. Peeta is angrier. Gale is the same. Haymitch is ...too sober.
But this problems aside Catching Fire is a good sequel but it's a shame that the Games wasn't as compelling as others.

The Hunger Games (Book)


9.5/10
Superb writing from Collins, and one of my favorite books of all time.
Everything is great and all but here are a few problems.
There was a long period n the book where is so slow paced, it's when their in a cave.
.... well actually thats the only problem... well... it's a great book....That's all folks.. and may the odds be ever in your favor!

The Hunger Games


March 23 2012
9.5/10
The main problem with this movie is the changes in the story but I won't tell you them. The acting in the film is great. The music was emotional, heart stopping, and just pure great. I'll summarize the movie:
Every year two tributes from each 12 districts a boy and girl is drawn from a ballot to represent the district in the annual Hunger Games. In the 74th Hunger Games a girl named Primrose Everdeen is drawn out, but her sister Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her place. A boy Peeta Mellark is drawn who has a connection to Katniss but I won't spoil it. Now they must compete against 22 other tributes with only 1 tribute winning.
May the odds be ever in your favor.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 2: Justice For All


Created by Capcom
3/5
The Second Installment in the Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban. Phoenix Wright is back in his....weakest...installment. The cases are out of this world and are really pointless except for Case 4 which is great and suspenseful.

Music: It's really disappointing compared to 1 and 3. Really It sounds a lot like Game Boy music.

Story: Is really good but weak compared to 1 and 3. The 1st one is a little pointless. The 2nd is better but is resolved quickly. It also revealed Franziska Von Karma. The 3rd is the worst case in all of Ace Attorney history involving the circus, and annoying clown jokes. The 4th is one of the greatest case in the AA History with kidnappings and such.

Ace Attorney Justice For All is a great game but not compared to Phoenix Wright and Trials and Tribulations. It's weak story and music is the worst part of the game. But I hope you enjoy it.

Final Destination 5


Release Date: August 12 2011
Rating: 87/100
Finally a Final Destination movie that's good. This time, death is after 8 coworkers after they survive a disastrous bridge collapse but this time they discover that if they each kill another person they get their life. This FD has very neat special effects, such as the bridge collapse, deaths, and *spoiler* Flight 180 from Final Destination 1. Yes this is a prequel of the entire series. But the acting falls short. No it's not the actors but their reactions. I barely heard screaming till the end and that ending was awesome. At the end of the film we are treated to a nice little montage of all the deaths in past Final Destinations included the premonitions. Oh yes the deaths. There is: *spoilers*
The Bridge
Bones snapped in gymnastics
Skull crushed by Buddha
Laser-Eye surgery gone wrong
Head impaled by crane hook
Wrench through the head
Shot to death by pistol
Murdered with a meat spit
The Flight 180 Incident
Crushed by fallen plane engine
*spoiler end*
The deaths were well done and pretty creative.
Final Rating: (second)
4.5/5 We are finally free of the terribly made FD Movies
