STORY:
As Voldemort's grip tightens on the magical world, the end is upon everyone Harry holds dear should he fail in his quest to vanquish his adversary. It's a last-ditch race against time as Harry, Ron, Hermione and assorted allies seek to unravel the few final mysteries that might tip the balance in Harry's favor in a final showdown.
[Spoilers are in the following sections]
POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
Everyone who sides with Harry, risks everything to confront the evil Voldemort. And they do so with full knowledge of the possible repercussions. Repeatedly the Dark Lord speaks in a horrific whisper that everyone can hear, tempting them to abandon Harry … and the dire fate awaiting them if they don't. Yet no one defects (except the Slytherins, of course.).
Harry learns about Severus' past and discovers that Snape had been acting as a deeply planted double agent striving to protect him. During this, Harry finds out that he must let Voldemort kill him, for the Dark Lord to die, and he goes off to sacrifice himself for the sake of the whole wizarding world.
SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
Magic is still used during the movie, but the magic is used for warfare purposes. When Harry opens the snitch, just before he dies he sees the spirits of his parents and his godfather. And when Harry dies, he finds himself in a place called "Limbo" that people end up in before getting sent to the afterlife. He meets Dumbledore there, who tells him that he could 'hop on a train', Harry later asks where that train would take him, Dumbledore responds, "On". Dumbledore implies that the afterlife is a good place for those who have chosen to love, saying, "Do not pity the dead, pity the living and all those who live without love."
SEXUAL CONTENT:
One of Hermione's outfits, especially once wet reveals quite a bit of cleavage. She and Ron kiss passionately. Harry and Ginny steal a quick kiss during the battle.
VIOLENT CONTENT:
The Battle of Hogwarts is a no-holds-barred battle between Voldemort and his Death Eaters against the students and professors of Hogwarts. The battle for Hogwarts begins with magic — both offensively and defensively. Those within create a shield around the school that keeps arrow-like spells from the Dark Lord's forces at bay — temporarily. Several ground troops unwisely try to penetrate the shield - and get incinerated.
Using the Elder Wand, Voldemort overwhelms the shield. Soon, the school's defenders are overrun by his bloodthirsty forces. A bridge full of Voldemort's minions explode, meanwhile the Death Eaters are destroying the castle, and a werewolf can be briefly seen feeding on a dead student. A flaming body hurtles past our view. Upon death, some of Voldemort's soldiers (Bellatrix Lestrange among them) explode. We hear Nagini repeatedly pummel Snape.
When each Horcrux is destroyed, Voldemort feels pain. Not enough, however, to stop him from killing Harry with his wand. Finally, after the last remaining Horcrux, gets destroyed, Voldemort withers into tiny bits of ash floating in the wind.
PROFANITY:
Mrs. Weasley steps between Bellatrix and her daughter, Ginny, spitting fiercely, "Not my daughter, you b‑‑ch." We hear the British vulgarity "bloody" four or five times, twice paired with "hell." There's another use of "hell" on its own, and an utterance of "blimey" as well.
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
The Dark Lord occasionally vaporizes his own troops when they displease him. The camera shows the corpses of some of the students. Griphook entraps the trio inside Bellatrix's vault, while he runs off with the Sword of Gryffindor.
CONCLUSION:
This movie is darker than any of the others, and the body count is much higher than any other, I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

MOVIE REVIEW: Brave Little Toaster (G)
STORY:
A band of appliances; a toaster, a blanket, a vacuum, a radio, and a lamp go out to find their 'master' who was a little boy. However, their 'master' is now a man who is getting ready to go to college.
POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
The appliances band together to overcome freaky obstacles; and their grumbling about each of the other's faults doesn't get in the way of them sticking together through thick and thin. There is a nice message about the value of the tried and true over constantly needing newer, better things.
SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
The way the appliances talk about their 'master', you would think that he was some type of god.
SEXUAL CONTENT:
A line in one of songs says that there were: "bikinis and buns filled with weenies." And also there is a tape recorder that shows up for about 30 seconds, that seems to have breasts.
VIOLENT CONTENT:
The appliances are dropped into waterfalls, sucked into quicksand, and chased by a malicious supermagnet at a dump. There is also cars getting crushed into unbelievably small cubes. There is also an owner of an appliance parts store, that takes apart appliances, and we see a silhouette of him 'killing' a blender by ripping it's motor out.
PROFANITY:
There is one misuse of 'god', and also a character says 'darn' once but that's the worst of it.
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
There is a dream sequence where Toaster is dreaming about the 'master', and it is a rather frighting scene. There is also a line in one of the songs that says: 'I took a man to a graveyard, I beg your pardon, it's quite hard enough, Just living with the stuff I have learned.' At the end of the aforementioned blender scene, you see oil or something dripping off the end of the wire like blood. There is a scene where a flower falls in love with Toaster, but Toaster has to leave and the next time we see the flower; it was dead. One of the cars in the junkyard, commits suicide by driving into the car crusher. And then you can see one car's wheels turning trying not to get crushed.
CONCLUSION:
This is a surprisingly dark film, I wouldn't recommend it to a kid. But I think that a tween may enjoy it. I give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

GAME REVIEW: Ben 10 Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction (E10+)
STORY:
Ben, Gwen and Kevin are at Rome fighting the Forever Knights, when they find out there is an evil To'kustar coming toward Earth. And Azmuth tells them that they must find some Galvan tech; called the Potis Altiare.
POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
Even though the news says that he is a menace to society, Ben goes around the world saving people from aliens, giant REDs, and annoying clones.
GAMEPLAY:
You are gong to end up fighting against hordes of enemies, but when you aren't doing that you'll be doing some interesting puzzles like; figuring out which alien to use to start a fire, using Humungosaur to move blocks, and other puzzles.And during certain parts of some stages one of the aliens can go Ultimate, that makes the alien super-powered.
SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
In a flashback, you can see the Galvan seem to be worshiping the Potis Altiare.
SEXUAL CONTENT:
Gwen wears a mini-skirt that covers her thighs; she is also wearing black stockings covering her legs.
VIOLENT CONTENT:
Like I said in the Gameplay section, there is quite a bit of fighting but it is not very realistic as you are either punching, zapping them, throwing fireballs and other stuff like that. But when you're playing as Humungousaur and Armadrillo, all of your attacks are melee that involves punching the ground and causing a shockwave.
PROFANITY:
Ben once says 'heck' and Kevin says 'shoot' once but that's the extent of the language.
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
At the beginning of the game, Jimmy is trying to contact Ben about an oncoming cosmic storm and when his mom calls him for dinner, he yells 'I don't have time for that Mom! I have the fate of the world in my hands!"
CONCLUSION:
This is a very fun game and is a pretty clean game, I would recommend this game to anyone wanting to spend a couple of hours but if you're looking for a long game this is not the game you are looking for. I give this game 4 out of 5 stars.

MOVIE REVIEW: Battle: Los Angeles (14A)
WARNING: THIS MOVIE HAS A LOT OF VIOLENCE AND SWEARING.
STORY:
There appears to be thousands of meteors heading toward the Earth, and looks like they're going to smash into several cities but then they realize that they're not meteors they are UFOs! And they are coming to blow up the Earth and take our resources.
POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
The film shows the value of human life, as the squad puts themselves on the line to protect the civilians. Several times Nantz is willing to strike out on his own to draw away the alien fire, and a civilian and his son go over personally to Nantz to thank him for saving them and the rest of the civilian. A civilian bravely picks up a gun and shoots it at as many aliens as he can.
SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
None
SEXUAL CONTENT:
Some of the platoon members joke about a comrade's virginity. A Marine cracks a sexual joke after a female soldier is splashed with a dying alien's bodily fluids.
VIOLENT CONTENT:
Battle LA is pretty much one firefight after one firefight, with humans vs. whatever the aliens can think up.
A Marine is shot through his helmet, and we see the burning and bleeding results. Dead bodies litter the streets. A man's skin is crisped and cracked by fire. A helicopter full of the wounded is blown to smithereens—sending the dead and large chunks of shrapnel flying in all directions.
Perhaps the goriest scene takes place when Nantz determines to find a way to kill the seemingly indestructible enemy. He finds a wounded alien and, with the aid of a civilian veterinarian, begins to cut and stab into the creature, exposing its internal organs and searching for a weak point. After several gooey and spurting attempts, they finally hack into the creature's heart and it gurgles its last.
Armored vehicles smash through groups of aliens, crushing them beneath their wheels. A dying Marine detonates a bag full of C4, igniting a bus's fuel tank and tearing the vehicle (and surrounding enemies) to pieces. Several soldiers bury the barrels of their weapons inside a large enemy before unloading clips of ammo.
PROFANITY:
Two f-word. About 35 s-words. Twenty or so uses of "hell" Over a dozen each of "d‑‑n" and "a‑‑." About 4 uses each of "b‑‑ch" and "b‑‑tard." God's name is misused well over 20 times.
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
One Marine gets so drunk he vomits, and partyers down bottles of beer and other alcohol, too.
CONCLUSION:
If you loved 'Independence Day' and/or '2012' you'll love this movie, the movie had the best effects I've seen since 'Transformers'. Unfortunately; it has a bad camera, and it seems to go on a little too long. But I give it 2.5 stars out 5.

GAME REVIEW: LEGO Batman (E10+)
STORY:
Batman's villains have escaped from Arkham Asylum, and they're running around Gotham City to finish their plans and only one person can stop them. The Batman.
POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
Batman and Robin run around trying to save the day, and Batman never kills any of the major villains.
GAMEPLAY:
What you're going to be doing when you use Batman and crew, you'll punch, kick and throw your way though each level until the end. but when you play on the villain side you'll have to solve a few puzzles along the way, and occasionally there is a 'vehicle level' where all you do is drive and shoot.
SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
In the Joker episodes, the final showdown with him takes place at a cathedral.
SEXUAL CONTENT:
Poison Ivy shows up in an outfit that looks entirely made out of nothing but leaves, and Catwoman shows up and during every cutscene she's in makes anything she does 'interesting'. Catwoman kisses Batman for a long time after he finishes fighting her, but they're all LEGO minifigs so there's nothing too odd.
VIOLENT CONTENT:
Batman’s known to be quite a martial-artist, and he still carries a bit of that into the LEGO world, limited as it is. He and Robin attack with punches and a kick or two. They can also grab enemies and either hit them or throw them. Since this is all with LEGO figures, the enemies just literally go to pieces. Some bad guys bring guns into the fight, but the result is still the same as it is when combat is hand-to-hand. You have to punch the female enemies to get rid of them, which may upset a couple of players.
PROFANITY:
none
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
The Joker use a joy buzzer that zaps his enemy into skeletons until they break apart, Scarecrow uses something called 'fear gas' to make his enemies see their worst fears and when you use it they curl up into a ball. Then there are a couple of goons in some of the levels that try to get a girl to kiss them, that is until you get rid of them.
CONCLUSION:
If you can get past the fact that it's darker than any of the other LEGO games so far, and that though half of the game you don't have any weapons. You'll realize that Traveler's Tales fixed up what was wrong with LEGO Star Wars II, and made a very fun game. I give it a total of 4 out of 5 stars.

MOVIE REVIEW: Aliens vs Predator (14A)
WARNING: This movie has a ton of violence in it.
STORY:
A squad of scientists and archaeologists arrives in Antarctica to investigate a strange pyramid that was found underground unknown to them, inside the pyramid is a nest of Aliens that are waiting for other aliens called the Predators to come and start the war.
POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
The explorers are led by environmentalist and expert ice climber Alexa Woods. She’s brave and loyal. She’s also the voice of reason who thinks it foolish to run headlong into the potentially dangerous unknown out of pride and greed. One of her colleagues courageously saves her life, only to lose his in the process. (SPOILER) A Predator shows mercy to a man with a weak heart who is not deemed a threat.
SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
none
SEXUAL CONTENT:
none
VIOLENT CONTENT:
One man gets stabbed in the stomach by huge, retractable claws which emerge, bloodied, through his back. A man hides while watching a Predator walk right by him, next thing you know another Predator shows up behind him and stabs him off-screen (you see blood fly onto the snow). A Predator slices a 'face-hugger' into two, and also snaps a newborn alien's neck. The Aliens get brutal, too. Newly hatched face-huggers leap onto the faces of their victims and dispatch an Alien embryo into the person’s esophagus. Those critters grow until they eventually burst forth from their living hosts’ abdomens. A woman writhes in pain, torso bulging (the camera cuts away just as the Alien emerges). Alexa shoots one of her colleagues to spare him the agony of “giving birth.” A full-grown Alien penetrates the skull of a Predator, killing it. On several occasions they drive their sharp tails through the bodies of their enemies. In a flashback, swarms of Aliens and Predators fight each other until a nuclear-size blast annihilates everything.
PROFANITY:
Alexa uses the f-word once, and starts to say “mutha------” before the second half of the obscenity gets drowned out and also she uses the b-word. There are also about seven s-words and a few milder profanities.
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
none
CONCLUSION:
If you don't mind seeing a load of action and a bit of blood and if you can find the 'mute' button before the f-bomb comes on this is the movie for you, I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars.

GAME REVIEW: Marvel Ultimate Alliance (T)
STORY:
A squad of superheroes go to save a giant hover-ship from it's destruction, and find a big problem created by Doctor Doom.
POSITIVE ELEMENTS:
The superheroes go to save the universe from all the evil-doers who wish to do it harm, and they also go to the Skrull homeworld to save them from Galacticus even though they tried to conquer the Earth several times. Uatu also helps the heroes even though it will mean that his powers are stripped away temporarily, and Senator Kelly (who hates mutants and meta-humans) after being saved; starts to think that maybe he was wrong about them.
GAMEPLAY:
Pretty much the only thing that you'll be doing in the game is pushing the X button to attack your opponents. There are a bit of puzzles, but most of them are solved rather easily.
SPIRITUAL ELEMENTS:
Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider and Thor show up on your superhero roster, and use their magic to stop Doom's lackeys. There is also a world called Mephisto's Realm, that looks a lot like Hell and has demons show as the enemies. And Mephisto himself looks like a giant version of the devil. And you also have to go to Asgard and help to rescue Odin, Asgard looks like you're on another planet instead of in heaven.
SEXUAL CONTENT:
Girls show up in their comic book outfits and most of them are a bit skin-tight, and both Elektra's and Storm's costumes show quite a bit of skin.
VIOLENT CONTENT:
The only thing that you do in the game is attack your enemies until they fade away, and leave red and blue orbs that you can use for your health and power. During Mephisto's Realm you will have to fight Demon Leapers that jump on the back of your characters, and try to bite the character's neck.
PROFANITY:
Nick Fury says hell about four times during the game, damn also shows up a couple of times.
OTHER NEGATIVE ELEMENTS:
Near the end of Mephisto's Realm, you have to pick what hero you're going to save; Nightcrawler or Jean Gray, and when you save one the other will fall to the ground and disappear for the rest of the game. There is also another time when to free Ghost Rider you have to sacrifice one of the members of your team to set him free, but you get him/her back afterward.
CONCLUSION:
If you like games where you just hit the same button over and over again, then this game is for you. It is fun when it begins but when you realize it's the same throughout the game, you start to hope that the game ends soon. I give this game a 1.5 out of 5 stars.
