Movie Review: Star Trek Into Darkness

Recently I went and saw Star Trek: Into Darkness. This is a great movie that, as a sequel really lives up to the hype. The movie starts off where the last one ended. Since these movies are prequels to the original Star Trek movies, it really does a great job of telling a great back story of how the characters got to where they were in the older movies.

This movie is full of amazing scenes of action and does not have a dull moment, keeps the audience coming back for more. The movie starts out with captain Kirk, who has a bit of an issue with authority, running on an alien planet with a very sacred piece of information. How Kirk continues to get himself into these messes no one knows, but he always finds a way out. He and Mr. Sulu have gotten themselves into a real mess. As they both continue to run they jump into the water and swim to their ship where Dr. Spock is waiting for instruction and decides to go a head with the plan to help stop the Volcano from erupting and destroying an ancient civilization who has not yet invented the wheel.

As Dr. Spock figures out a way to save a civilization it is not with out risk. Dr. Spock is headed into a life or death situation and being half human and half Vulcan he does not think and make choices the way humans do. James Kirk who is someone who really thinks with his heart and follows his heart in all situations gets his crew in a real mess.

As they return to Earth Kirk is reprimanded for his actions. It is here that he finds out a truth that no one else has thought of and many lives are at stake. To find out more you will have to see the movie.

I rate his movie 5 stars because it was beautifully made great sequel. The acting is amazing and the use of CGI is the top its game. So be sure to see this movie ASAP.

Movie Review: Man Of Steel

Recently I went and saw the new Superman movie, Man Of Steel. I loved this movie. The movie was a totally new idea on an old story. This movie goes back and takes a different perspective on an American icon. Man Of Steel is full of new ideas on how and why Clark Kent came to Earth. In this newest version his home planet, Kripton, was doomed and his parents sent him along with their hopes and dreams for the future of their planet to Earth, a planet that was similar to Kripton but did not have the same issues in sustaining life that Kripton had.

Clark Kent continues his life as a human with extra abilities that he feels he has to hide from those around him in order to survive. Then, one day Louis Lane comes across Clark Kent and witness' him doing things that no other person is able to do. So, as an investigative journalist she is out to find the truth about Clark Kent, who he is and where he is from. To find out more you will have to watch this amazing new twist of the old American Story of Superman.

I rate this movie 5 stars. The action and CGI graphics are amazing. As I watched the movie, I could really see all the hard work and dedication that not only the actors, but the crew worked on to make this amazing new twist on an old tale become so believable.

BLT Avocado Salad

I recently tried this new recipe that I came across the other day. I was surprised I had not thought of this idea before. It is a great summer recipe that can be easily made and light enough for the summer heat.

I made homemade ranch dressing. What you need:

• 1 cup Mayo
• 1 cup Milk
• one package of Hidden Valley Ranch packet

Put the above in a bowl and mix together for about 2 minutes then cover and put in fridge for at least half an hour.

For Salad

• lettuce ( I used shredded lettuce)
• tomato sliced
• bacon cut into small pieces
• avocado cut into small pieces

First I put lettuce on the plate then added tomato slices, bacon and avocado to the salad. I topped it off with home made ranch dressing. I highly recommend this easy summer recipe for a time when you need to make something fast.

1 year of marriage

Wow! I cannot believe we have been married a whole year. Time flies when you are having fun! For our anniversary we weekend we started out celebrating with our parents. Our original plan was to have dinner at DCC where we had our reception. However the power went out and we had to come up with a plan B. plan B was so much fun. We went to the Marquee Grill to celebrate. This ended up to be just as special because we went to that restaurant the night of our engagement. Also, I was able to wish my Dad happy Father's Day as our anniversary fell on Father's Day and my parents were at the Lakehouse the rest of the weekend.

    Saturday the cele rating continued with our 5 year old niece's birthday party. After the birthday party we headed home to relax before dinner. We tried to go see a movie but the times did not work for our schedule. We had dinner at Ferring's restaurant at The Ritz Carlton Dallas. We had a great anniversary dinner.

Sunday our actual anniversary we celebrated with walking to the Katy trail ice house for lunch. In the afternoon B went to hang out with his dad and brother to watch golf and celebrate Father's Day. When he got home we cooked dinner and had cake.  I ordered a new cake cause we ate ours last year and I did not watts eat a year old cake. It was a great cake that we have been enjoying all week.

Here is to the beginning of our second year of marriage and all the fun that will come with it.
