Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two

Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
Here is the first video game I am reviewing. This is quite the monumental moment. Keep in mind that I have yet to finish the first Epic Mickey but as I do not own a Wii, it will be a while before I do. Moving on...
Epic Mickey 2 starts where the first left off. Mickey has helped save Wasteland and has become friends with his predecessor Oswald. This time around, Oswald calls on Mickey to help save Wasteland once again. A quake has occurred sending Wasteland into disarray. The projectors are broken and now Mickey and Oswald must team up to find the source of the quake as well as who broke the projectors. I don't want to spoil too much for those who haven't played it so I'll stop there with the story. I can tell you that this game is in true Disney fashion. You see many of familiar characters including the three little pigs, Pete, Daisy and Donald (robotic versions), and Clarabelle. If you have a child who is a gamer or you would like to introduce your child to gaming, I highly suggest a game like this. It is a two player game which means you can join in the fun with your child, spouse, or a friend or if you prefer to be a lone gamer, play by yourself. Mickey has a paintbrush which you can either fill in missing objects or remove objects to reveal secret passageways and items. I love playing one player games but I enjoyed playing this game with my boyfriend. It was time we spent together and some time for us to relax and take a break from our dramatic world. Another reason why this is a great game for children is because it teaches them about teamwork. Unlike many games that are released these days, this is family friendly and gives them a chance to see Mickey and Oswald in action. No matter what platform you have, xbox 360 or Wii, this is the game to have. Have a magical day!

Music Review: Jerad Finck Criminal EP

Image
Artist: Jerad Finck Criminal EP The first review for Jerad was the "Criminal" single. This review for the "Criminal" EP. Before I get into the review I want to define what an EP is for those that don't know. An EP stands for extended play. It contains additional tracks than the single but the track list is too short to be considered a full album. It's like a sneak peek into the artist's potential full album, a teaser if you will. Now onto the review. I was ecstatic after listening to Criminal  that when my boyfriend, Jeff returned from work I made him sit down and watch the video with me (my 20th time watching it that night, his first). I started playing the EP this morning and he immediately joined me in the living room asking me, "Is this the guy you're reviewing?" I said "Yes" and with that Jerad gains another fan. Jeff loves the music. This is what I love about music like this. It brings people together and infectious. T

Music Review Single: Leslie Becker "Slow Burn"

Image
Artist: Leslie Becker Single: Slow Burn In the beginning of this video we see Leslie walking down the street at night looking classy and ready for some fun. This song and the video reminds me a lot of the opening credits to a James Bond film. The song as well sounds like the next title track to the next James Bond film. It's hot, sultry and Leslie's voice is hypnotizing. What I like about the song is how the woman is in control. You see the men looking at her and she decides whether they get her attention or not. It's interesting because within the song and video there is a tease of mystery. She's not putting herself completely out there. This is apparent even through her vocals. It's like a "come and get me" but she decides when it goes further. I love how she sings, "I'm worth the wait" because it's an empowering statement. She knows her worth. The "slow burn" is the excitement building up to that incredible firework fee

Movie Review: Falling for Christmas

  Falling for Christmas Starring Lindsay Lohan, Chord Overstreet, and Jack Wagner She's back! First I want to say that I have always been a fan of Lindsay Lohan since "Parent Trap" and I am so happy to see her back on screen. Lindsay stars as Sierra Belmont, a rich heiress who proves that there is more to her than fancy designer clothes and daddy's money.  When I first heard the synopsis, I thought it was another version of "Overboard" originally starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell but I was wrong. It has its own rustic charm with its theme of family, tradition, and memorable keepsakes. We learn early on that Sierra lost her mother when she was very young and the snowglobe her mother treasured was the link to her memories of her mother. She clearly has a close relationship with her father (Jack Wagner) who is anything but a pushover parent. He's supportive, caring, and wanting only the best for his daughter.  Her desire to not want the position of vice
