In a twist to the fairy tale, the Huntsman ordered to take Snow White into the woods to be killed winds up becoming her protector and mentor in a quest to vanquish the Evil Queen.

I might have had higher expectations then what I should have when going into this movie, at times it surprised me but mostly it bored the hell out of me. People to my left were playing with instagram in the movie theater and people to my right were having a conversation about “Nora’s” Dinner party (No clue who Nora is). The movie just didn’t catch my interest as the story went along, and its a little too long, at some points it loses you because they are trying to tell a big story and introducing new characters. The main thing is that so many characters are introduced that you don’t really get attached to the main characters. Chris Hemsworth is the Huntsman and he does a pretty decent job but he is no Thor, I think that was one of my mistakes. Kristen (Or the Girl from The Vampire Movies) just didn’t work too well for me, I don’t know why but she didn’t fit. The star of the movie though was Charlize Theron she really knew how to play the evil queen/witch, and she played her part well. They tried to make a great movie and tie in the original snow white story but overall it didn’t cut it and don’t waste your time with this movie.

The Village has turned into one of the hot spots in Kuwait, and so many restaurants have opened up with a few more to go. The place is always packed but one of the hidden gems is Q Cafe and I think it is the best restaurant there by far. Its tucked in the back and just recently they have expanded the parking there which is much better but still there are a huge amount of people going their daily. The atmosphere of the place is trendy and classy, and the outdoor seating is great for when the weather was sunny and chilly, now its a little bit too hot.

The Cuisine is an Italian Fusion which is very interesting with a lot of items to choose on the menu. By far their choices of pasta items are fantastic and I loved their Gnocchi and especially their risotto. Their Chinese Chicken Salad is out of this world, I have picked it up a few times to go because I honestly love it. You can tell that they put a lot of effort into their food and really do work on it, I’m one very picky person and I have tried a lot of items on their menu and love them all. Their burgers are pretty good, I wasn’t expecting it to be from an Italian Fusion place but still it was good.

Their desert is something out of this world, I’m not a desert person but the items they have are worth trying. Whenever I go there my diet goes out the window I make sure to spend a bit more time at the gym if I know I’m going to pass by Q Cafe. I have been there probably 5 times this month and I can’t get enough of it.

As a police psychologist works to talk down an ex-con who is threatening to jump from a Manhattan hotel rooftop, the biggest diamond heist ever committed is in motion…

This movie turned out to be a twist with a large line up of characters, not just a man who will jump to prove his freedom but a lot more going on. I am a fan of Sam Worthington since Avatar, even after Wrath Of The Titans, he knows how to bring his character across. With so many twist and turns, and damaged characters in this movie it turned out to be even better then I expected, much better. The intensity of this movie is great, you don’t know whats going to happen next and things don’t always go smoothly which is one of the great parts of the movie sometimes things go wrong and Worthington is still try to prove his innocence. Watch It

Three high school friends gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.

Take Superman and mix in Blair Witch Project and you get Chronicle. An interesting story which takes a different twist on Superpowers. For Andrew, Matt and Steve have stumbled upon something beyond their – or anyone’s – understanding. Their discovery leads them to acquire powerful telekinetic abilities; or simply they have superpowers. They’re now capable of, well, almost anything. They can move objects just by thinking about them, crush cars through force of will. They even learn to fly. It feels like a realistic twist on getting superpowers, and the way it is shot gives it that gritty feel. Chronicle is a new film unlike any you’ve seen before, it’s a superhero movie that’s not really a superhero movie.

In 1996 Diablo was released, then in 2000 Diablo 2 was released and both of them were at the top of the list during their release. I have been waiting over a Decade for Activition/Blizzard to release Diablo 3, honestly its taken so long and they are bit slow but it was worth the wait. And a lot of people went nuts, in the last 72 hours I managed to get an average of 4 to 8 hours of gaming a day, I mean I would be online if I wasn’t doing something major. At one point on Wednesday I totally forgot to eat or do anything else, pretty much felt like a Zombie and playing nonstop, I don’t think I have clicked my mouse as many times in the last 72 hours as I have the past two years, and I’m loving every moment of it.

The game itself is nice and smooth, they kept everything that was great about it and made it better, exactly what they said they would do. It’s smooth, and fun, you can play coop missions with your friends online up to four people. I chose the Monk because of his capabilities and I like the guy that I built up, and if the monk wasn’t available I would have been a Barbarian, I do love jumping in the middle between monsters and going crazy, that is always a lot of fun. I haven’t been obsessed with a game as much as I have as this one, I try to think of myself as a gamer, but time isn’t on my side but this case I forgot to do everything else and pretty much just gamed online nonstop with Diablo 3. Reading in forums some people finished the game in 72 hours, they pretty much put real life on hold to play this game, I wish I had that kind of free time, but I will have to make do and level up as fast as I can. If you have any inclination to Diablo then you will seriously love this game.

The first time I saw the Nike Fuel was on my friend’s hand in mid march, and I was intrigued by it, I have seen a lot of those tools that tell you how much you have burned or how much you have walked but nothing like this. A simple designed product that can quantify your actions throughout the day. I know I was skeptic at first and I take the numbers with a bit of skepticism but it does something very well for me, it motivates me to move. There are types of information presented on the Nike Fuel Band, the time, Nike Fuel, Calories Burnt, and the Steps you have taken for the day. It adjusts your daily record based on the time that you program it for which I think is pretty cool. The LED’s give you an indication of how much fuel you have piled up for the day, and it does keep a decent record, the funny part is I know some people cheat, like they give their kids the fuel band to run around with so they don’t feel like they didn’t achieve anything for the day. Its hilarious that they feel the need to do that, this thing does make people move.

The Best part about is that it is somewhat water proof, I have done everything but swim in it, and I’m tempted to try it even though it says its not recommended I have online that some people have swam in it. And I love when you hit your goals for the day, you have 2000, 3000, or 5000 Nike Fuel goals and you have to enter your height and weight, and these numbers calculate based on the gyroscopes in the wrist band. People have argued with me that the numbers are exactly correct, but what they don’t understand is that it doesn’t matter, what matters is that with the Nike Fuel numbers you get a feel for your lazy days and you active days. You connect it to the USB to charge and it downloads all the information and sends it over to the Nike Website and presented in much higher detail the first picture, there is the month of March and I have hit the 3K Nike Daily Fuel Goal only 10 times which isn’t too bad but I think I can do better. Whats great is that the timing was perfect, just as I started going to the gym I got this product. It honestly just makes you less lazy, you just stare at the number and know how lazy you are. It’s a wristband that always measures your activity as you go about your day. With the Fuelband, you can quantify the consequences of your lifestyle. Honestly I think everyone should get one, especially people with iPhones since it wirelessly syncs the information to your iPhone, for me I have to plug it into the USB to upload the Data.

• Price $150 (Got It for $180 Off Ebay)

Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of super humans to form The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki and his army.

This was it, the one movie that brought them all together, every super hero to form the original Avengers. The long awaited movie was very much worth the wait, and Samuel L. Jackson played Nick Fury perfectly, a hard ass with a tough attitude. The story depicted depicted a threat in front of them they did not expect or know how to handle, but they came together as a team to face it, and the best part is the trailers gave nothing away. I don’t want to ruin the story for anyone, but one of the best parts for me is that they didn’t over do it with any specific character, and they had a lot of them, you have seen their movies so you know who these guys are, and even if you haven’t read the comics the story comes across perfectly. 142 minutes of pure joy, the action was nonstop from the beginning, I loved the S.H.I.E.L.D super fortress, there were a lot of tense moments and the comedic parts were played out perfectly which I loved. If you have seen the movie, you should definitely watch it.

A young CIA agent is tasked with looking after a fugitive in a safe house. But when the safe house is attacked, he finds himself on the run with his charge.

A very solid movie from two solid actors, Denzel Washington can make any movie better, and I know a few people aren’t the biggest fans of Ryan Reynolds but he did a fantastic job in this one. Ryan stars the CIA rookie that in charge of a boring Safe House while Denzel is the bag spy that everyone is after. Things start to get interesting as Denzel surrenders himself to the US Embassy, and things just keep getting crazier and crazier, the plot always seem to thicken and Ryan & Denzel are at each other’s throats through the whole ordeal while being chased by men intent on killing them. The movie keeps you on your toes and I loved how it played out, Denzel has another great role under his belt.

A career criminal (Gibson) nabbed by Mexican authorities is placed in a tough prison where he learns to survive with the help of a 9-year-old boy.

Funny enough this movie was named “Get The Gringo” in the US which I think is much better then the long “How I Spent My Summer Vacation” I didn’t have a clue what this movie was about except that Mel Gibson was in it. I saw a short preview and didn’t know what to expect, but I was surprised, this movie turned out to be really good. I know that Mel Gibson was shunned by Hollywood for going a bit nuts but he is still one bad ass in the movies, and he did a fantastic job with this character. In jail he has the perfect facial expressions for funny moments in a stressful situations, the guy pulled it off and this movie just proves that he is still a damn good actor. Plus the plot in this movie is unpredictable, and it gives you an insight in the Mexican prison system.

A fleet of ships is forced to do battle with an armada of unknown origins in order to discover and thwart their destructive goals.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this movie since I was trying to not watch any trailers since I knew it was going to be fun. This is the type of movie you go into expecting to enjoy yourself and walk out with a smile. Honestly this movie turned out to be a better then I expected, I really enjoyed the action, lots of it all over the places. Aliens vs. Battleships and a bit of the Battleship board game idea thrown into the mix. Liam Neeson plays the bad ass admiral in the movie, he is always good at any role he plays, and Taylor Kitsch plays Alex Hopper as the man who always screws up because of his hot head, he is the guy from Friday Night Lights, always liked him. Fun cast for this movie and played out pretty well, a fun movie to watch.
