I loved this movie, even though it is a little kids movie, I greatly enjoyed it. The story was very well done, the graphics and action were also very well done. It actually made me cry, which I like.
It had funny parts as well as some very moving parts. Not going to give to much away as I do not want to spoil any thing for any one that has not seen it yet. It is based on the little mermaid so has some parallels to it but not many. I can probably mention this with out it spoiling it but the parallel is that a fish girl turns into a human. That does not spoil any things as it was mentioned in a few of the ads. Unlike the little mermaid she does not look like a mermaid she looks kind of like a red jelly fish with a human face. I give it a 5 our of 5 stars.
Here is what the dvd has on the back.
This Japanese anime feature from famed filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki follows the adventures of a 5-year-old boy, Sosuke, and his burgeoning friendship with Ponyo, a goldfish princess who desperately wants to become human. After running away from and then being recaptured by her strict father, Ponyo — with some help from Sosuke — becomes more determined than ever to make her dreams come true. But will her wishes throw the entire earth off balance?

This dream actually happened 2 nights ago so do not remember every detail but thought I would share it any way. It started out with me being back at home with my parents. They were back to baby sitting, but super heroes this time. I did not start out with powers but did gain them although do not remember how. After I had gained my powers I was showing off. One way I was showing off was having a race with a hero that had super speed. I found I was much faster then he was. When I was racing around him it looked to me as if he was not even moving, yet he was running as fast as he could. After showing off a bit my dad yelled at me and said stop showing off, you are way to young to be playing with your powers. He said some thing to the effect about powers being dangerous and that I need to be careful with them.
Shortly after my dad yelled at me there was an alarm that went off to let every one know there was some emergency that needed a super hero. I got excited and wanted to go but was told I was to young and was locked in the play room with guards guarding the doors. There was only one other person in there, a young girl about my age, at least the age I was in the dream. Which I think was any where from 7 to 12. We played dolls and other girly games for a while until I cut my self on some thing. Just a small cut on my finger like the size of a paper cut. The little girl that I was with helped me clean it up and put a bandage on it. After that we decided to sneak out through the bathroom window. We got out and ran toward where the emergency was . We got to my parents car, my mother asked what are you doing here, you should be back home. I said I came to help with the emergency. She said it is being handled. Then I heard one of the super heroes yell saying he was giving up as he could not hold it back any more. It looked as if they were trying to hold back a hurricane or tornado from hitting the oil spill in the golf or at least that is what it looked like they were doing. I yelled no you can not give up. I remember yelling it several times and then getting tired for some reason and felling a sleep on my mother’s lap in the front seat of the car.
Usually when I fall a sleep in a dream I wake up, however this time I switched to the little girl I was playing with in the play room. When I switched to her I saw a car pull up behind us, that had the guards that were guarding us in it. They were frantic and saying Amy excepted. As that other girl I yelled back at the guards saying she is safe she is right here and pointed at me sleeping on my mother’s lap. After that as the other girl I realized I had powers, all the same ones I had as me. So I went off and saved the day. After that I woke up.

I know this is an old movie, well not that old it come out almost 2 years ago. I only recently bought it and watched it. Back when I first saw the ads for it on TV I wanted to watch it but I normally do not watch it in a theater as the nearest one is far a way, that and some times those places are noisy and some times you get some one in front of you that blocks the screen. This movie how ever I almost forgot about until a few weeks ago when I want looking for it. Could not remember exactly what it was called, however I did remember that it had button in the name so searched for button. I was able to find it pretty fast just searching movie sites for button. After finding it I bought it on ebay for around 10usd, which I think is a good price.
Before watching the movie I thought about how he ages back words and also trying to remember what was in the ads / trailers with out actually watching one or more of the trailers. I did remember that he had a romantic relationship that became a full relationship when they both became of the same age or close to the same age. I think the ad mentioned that as meeting in the middle. One of the thinks I was thinking is how does his life start if he starts out as an old man. I was thinking does he just pop into existence or is he actually born. If he is actually born is he full grown, which sounds very painful for the mother or is he born a baby that looks old. I did find the answer to that by watching the movie and they actually did a good job on making a baby look old. Oh and ya that is not a spoiler as it is in the trailer which I did watch after I watched the movie. A few other things I was thinking is how far does he age backwards, like does he go clear back to being a baby or does he get to the point where he can not longer age backwards and just dies. I was thinking that because order to become a baby he would have to start shrinking so the extra mass would have to go some where. I was also thinking of a Star Trek episode where some one had age backwards and he was not able to go younger then a teenager because of the body mass issue. This is not answered in the trailers that I saw so will let you watch it to find the answer but I do like the way they did it.
Over all I enjoyed the movie and thought it was done very well. It felt true to life. I mean it felt as if it was some thing that really happened even though it was fictional. The emotions felt reel. The actions of the actors felt real. The backwards aging process was done very well and I liked how it was a slow process with subtle changes that looked correct. I also like how the story was played out and how the romance was done. I loved the movie and would recommend seeing it if you have not seen it yet.
I give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

This is an interesting thought of mine. I had started this blog post a very long time ago, around the time that the Terminator Salvation movie was being advertised for. I was talking to some one last night about this idea so I thought I would finish this post. To start off with the thought I was was what if the terminator movies are a prequel to the matrix movies. This idea actually came from the animatrix movies and the movie about the second Renaissance, specially the second part where it was showing a war of man against machine. This war in my head was seen as the Terminator war. The only way for this to work how ever is to change the first part of the Second Renaissance and replace it with the Terminator movies. How ever there is a problem, the problem of how the Terminators are powered. Each Terminator are powered by a small nuclear battery type thing so blocking the sun would not effect the. Ok so I had to figure out a way for skynet to need humans as an energy source and create the matrix how ever I was not able to figure out how to get that to work so I stopped my blog post.
There is another movie that is more suited to being the prequel to the martix and that is the movie called Irobot. That movie flows nicely with the animatrix and seems to be a more detailed telling of the first part of the second renaissance. There are others who agree with me on that.
I wonder if any other movies could be a prequel to the matrix, might have to look and make a blog post bout them as well.

I already get a wonderful deal with them and I was just sent an email to day for an even better deal. let me start at the beginning. I got an account with powermonster.net after my free domain and hosting with whirl host had issue. Basically wirlhost got bought out and went down hill very fast. At the time powermonster.net had a great offer that was just to good to pass up so I took it and moved this blog off of wirlhost and on to powermonster. Been with powermonster.net for close to a year, not sure exactly with out looking at my first email from them. Any way to day they sent an email to current customers about a new deal that is used for renewal. I am tempted to take it as it would save me a little bit of money how ever I do not pay that much begin with so I kind of feel as if I am taking advantage of them. They are such a good host I do not wish to do that. So I am kind of in a dilemma do I take the offer and save my self money or just pass it up as to not take advantage of such a great host.
