What can I wish for 2015?

One year ends and another begins. 2014 was a good year. There is had very good times and also bad times, but somehow a perfect year, it does not exist. So what can I expect for 2015?
Well simply continue to live as I am, because I have the chance to lead a happy life with a loving and welded family, to have very cool friends that I love with all my heart and I consider my brothers and sisters, and to continue to be as I am, and do not change.
I hope to go to many other concerts and live unforgettable experiences, spend great time with my family, my French friends, and also my foreign friends.
I wish a very Merry Christmas and very good Happy new year to my family and my friends, and thank you again to all of you for giving me the joy of life that makes my heart beat and soul. I love you all.

Happy 2015 to all!

Lordi Scare Force One costumes

The tradition of Lordi is that at every new album, they change their outfits, and what's great about it is that in the same time of wait for the release of the album, you also look forward to see the first pictures of the group, with their new costumes. We can sometimes be worried, thinking "is what the costumes will be more terrifying, better, or bad." It is the big question in the minds of fans (and therefore mine too). So, I watched each suit of the group, and I decided to write my personal opinion on the subject.

-I'll start with my evilove, my Lordi heart, Hella. For her new outfit, I am absolutely not disappointed. She is still beautiful. Curly blond hair suited her very well, but the black hair are just as beautiful, and make her even more terrifying. Her outfit is darker, with a black leather outfit, dark and sexy, I love that. And with blood on her body, it's even sexier. Her face did not change in my opinion, and that's good because I love her face as she is. For the purple mittens, why not, it adds a bit of color. But I think she should have kept the metal bracelets on the wrists she had in her outfit "To Beast or Not To Beast", it could have been good too. Finally, Hella is still beautiful, she's my monster love! 

- Mr. Lordi now. His face changed of color, scars changed too, and horns also on the face are a little larger. Hair and beard, nothing to say, it is the same, but that's how we want Mr. Lordi. Her outfit is even bleaker, with different shoulder armors, again, new faces on the knees, and a new belt, with a skull. His boots are also greater still (I wonder how high he will go). And without wanting to make a pun, his new outfit no lack of spice. His armor is studded with small spikes, nd I think it's cool. His hands and claws seem taller than before, too. In conclusion, I would say that holding Mr. Lordi is right for him, and this outfit is even more terrifying than the last.

-For Amen, I have not much to say, because he has not changed much, except for one thing: his bandages have completely disappeared. His golden armors were replaced with the same, but darker. The face is almost the same too, but one piece of flesh torn from above the right eye, and or we can see the skull. But even if his outfit has not changed much, Amen is still as cool as usual.

-By cons, Ox has undergone a lot of changes I think. For me it's the one that has changed the most. Her face is completely different, the horns are larger, but he has a even more frightening head like that, and it's great. His outfit also changed a lot. His coat still has fur, chains, but this time, spikes on the shoulders, which adds a great effect on him. Personally, I would say this outfit of Ox is even more badass and brutal than the one he had for "To Beast or not to Beast." With this outfit, Ox seems more brutal, and what is more natural when you are a minotaur.

- For Mana, which surprised me the most, and I think that was the case for many it is his new haircut. I admit I was a little disappointed with that, and I still prefer her long hair in "To Beast or not to Beast," but I don't criticize, Mana with short hair, why not, but that's not what I prefer on him, that's all. His outfit also has changed, he no longer looks like a pastor of darkness, but more like a warrior now, with this armor. For the face, well, he has not changed much.



In conclusion I would say that their new outfits are great, dark, terrifying, just enough for monsters like them.

My first KISS experience for June 2015!

This morning, it happened something important in my life: I ordered and reserved a ticket to go see the hottest band in the world, and one of my favorite rock bands: the legendaries KISS !!!
I was waiting for this day for months, and sometimes I dreamed about that the night, and there it is, the rock gods have heard my prayers and gave me an opportunity that I managed to take in time .
At first I was worried about not being able to book a ticket on time, but now I can breathe and shout: ROCK YEAH!!!!

See you in June KISS!!!

My second Motörhead concert

Last night, I've seen the legendary rock band, Motörhead, for the second time in my life, and my hero, the man that I considers like my "father" of rock, Lemmy Kilmister.
Me at the concert

I waited until the end of the day like a madman, and finally, when I was in the car to go to Paris, I stayed calm but I can not hide my excitement. Initially, there was some congestion at the entrance to Paris, but we managed to arrive at the Zenith, and find good places in the pit.
I expected the concert, but without saying a word. And suddenly, the lights went out, the bass of Lemmy has resonate powerfully throughout the room and the band came on the stage. There, I raised my hands in the air and screamed like a degenerate. I think I've never screamed as loud in my life, maybe even more than the concerts or I've seen Lordi, Halestorm or Ghost.
The concert begins! 

In a word, Motörhead was, legendary! As usual, the band is to the up to its legend, and during the concert, I sang, shaking my head like crazy and scream with all my strength and almost tear my vocal cords. Motörhead made some of my favorite songs like "Damage Case", "Stay Clean", "Ace of Spades" and my favorite "Overkill"
Overkill!

I am very pleased that Lemmy feels better, because as everyone knows, he was very ill at the beginning of the year, very weak (he is 68 years old, but his body was severely damaged by the quantity of alcohol and cigarettes he consumed in his life). Lemmy is a guy with a big heart, but he drank and smoked a lot. But now for his health, he decided to stop smoking definitely, and continues to have a drink occasionally, but much less than before. In short, I was very happy to see Lemmy like that on stage, because I was very scared for him.
Ace of Spades!

At the end of the concert, I was out of breath, my voice was destroyed, a infernal heat, but god, I was sooooo happy! Thank you eternally Motörhead for this crazy concert that will remain etched in my memory forever.
They are Motörhead, and they play Rock N Roll!!!
Motörhead for Life!!

Chromia, Arcee and Flareup: my three Autobots guardian angels

I'm recently entered the world of Transformers, I discovered a little more each day, but one thing is sure: I discovered amazing new characters, a very interesting world of fantasy, action. In watching the movies, I thought to myself "but why did not I discovered this sooner?" But that's life.
But in the characters, there are three in particular in my heart: three female Autobots, fast, strong and courageous, who form a formidable team, but unfortunately not often showed and underrated: Chromia, Arcee and Flareup.


I considers Arcee and Flareup like sisters, but for Chromia, it's more. When I saw pictures of her on google, I felt the same as I had for Neytiri in Avatar: a strange feeling in my heart, and a growing interest in finding more images and video her, and wanted to see the works or she appears. And that's how Chromia has become my new love of fiction. 
Now I call them my guardian angels, because all three are close to me, at each time. Chromia in first, of course. 
I joined the clan of the Autobots, but I want to team up with my three guardian angels. <3

Another dream about Transformers

Last night I had a second dream about the world of Transformers, and Chromia was still there.

I'm asleep in my room, and I'm awakened by a strange noise, like heavy footsteps. I just opened my eyes and I'm grabbed to the throat by Starscream, who looks at me with her ​​red eyes. I can not defend myself and not free myself from his grip. He puts me kind of high tech handcuffs on my wrists and took me outside. Outside the house, Sideways waiting for and turns into a car. Starscream puts me in the car and told to Sideways "takes him. Megatron waits."
The car starts to move very quickly and I try to open the doors, but nothing to do, I'm trapped. I try to call for help, but it's at night, and no one can hear me with the windows closed. Sideways ordered me to shut up. It starts to roll in the fields around my village, and I'm a little shaken.

Then I hear noises motorcycle behind me, and when I look out the back window, I see Chromia, Arcee and Flareup coming at full speed towards the car, and prepare their weapons. I smile and hope comes back. But the three female Autobots do not dare shoot on Sideways because I'm inside, and Chromia does not want to hurt me, so they continue to pursue Sideways in the fields. I always try to force the doors of the car by kicking, but I did not succeed. A pack of dogs Decepticons comes out of nowhere to help Sideways. I hear Arcee tell to Chromia "Chromia, saves Mathias. We'll take care of the dogs." 
So Arcee and Flareup start to shooting and fighting against the Decepticons dogs, and Chromia continues to pursue Sideways to save me. Chromia can approach and gives a big gun shot on the roof of the car, and I hear Sideways groan in pain, but he does not stop. Then Chromia screaming to me "Drop you Mathias!" 
I obeyed, and when I'm lying on the seat, Chromia begins to fire with her gun to destroy the windows. She managed, and in a last effort, I jump through a window, and Chromia grabs me in her arms. Sideways chose to flee rather than trying to take me again, and he walks away with all speed in the fields, in screaming that it's not over. Chromia holds me in her arms, I smiled, and she did the same. I thank her from my heart. She takes off my handcuffs and puts me on her back to take me home. 

And I woke up at that time.
Beautiful dream. Chromia is come to save me again, and we are closer now, but I do not know what Sideways will try next time.

Ninja Turtles 2014: one of the best 2014 movies

I'm going to the movies tonight to see a movie that I was expecting for months: Ninja Turtles. I'm a big fan of this universe, and I still remember when I was a kid, I came home from school and watched the animated series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the television. Great moments of nostalgia that make me up a small lump in the throat.
Before the movie came out in theaters, people were already starting to say that the film would be crap, criticism as "the new look of the turtles is crap." Enough! I'm sick of people who judge a film without seeing it. Personally, I find the new look of the turtles is great, and the movie too.

Already, I'm glad they keep the characters of the turtles. Leonardo the leader, who is the most reasonable and sometimes gives orders to his brothers. Donatello, the scientist and expert of technology. Raphael, the big brute angry, but has a good heart deep down. And Michelangelo, the eternal teenager, fan of pizza and skateboarding, and already willing to say words to laugh. 
There are also other characters from the universe, as Master Splinter, old wise and honorable warrior, and his nemesis, Shredder. April O'Neil the journalist, accompanied by her cameraman, Vernon. 

It was a great pleasure to see my childhood heroes on the big screen for a super fight against Shredder. I laughed, most thanks to Michelangelo. But I got scared at the scene or Splinter is defeated and that turtles are caught, I thought "oh no, that's not possible, they dared, they killed Splinter!" I was reassured. The writers could not kill Splinter, he is a very important character in the world of Ninja Turtles. But luckily at the end of the film, Splinter is still alive, and it's a happy ending for this unique family, still doomed to live in the shadows, because they are too different from humans.

KOWABUNGA!!!!

Happy Birthday Lzzy Hale

Today is the birthday of one of my favorite singers, and also one of my first eviloves: Lzzy Hale, Halestorm's singer, whom I consider my goddess of Hard Rock.
It's been over a year since I discovered Halestorm, and Lzzy changed my life. I will never forget my first concert of Halestorm that held in April this year, which marked my mind and my heart forever. I will keep forever the memory of Lzzy who smiled me and gave me a wink, after I showed him my message I had written for her, and I yelled "I love you Lzzy."
I hope to see again Halestorm, and relive a magical and unforgettable concert.

Happy Birthday Lzzy Hale <3 <3
My goddess of Hard Rock

My first dream about the Transformers Universe

I discovered a little better the world of Transformers. This is a franchise that I do not really know, but I am interested to discover it. Last night, I talked a lot about that with my friend Emily, who is a huge fan of Transformers, and she told me about the female autobots. So I was verified on google, and found three of them: Arcee, Chromia and Flareup (the three sisters, from what is said). But without knowing why, my attention was drawn to Chromia, the blue female autobot. I found it different from the other two, and I almost felt attracted to her, like by a strange link. She can transform herself in blue motorcycle, and moves on one wheel when she is autobot mode. She is armed with a large cannon on one arm. In one picture, I saw the face of Chromia a little closer, and she seems almost human, with eyes, a mouth, and emotions can be seen on her face. But the first thing I thought upon seeing her, was "wow, she is very beautiful, for a robot."



Here is the first image of Chromia I found (this is the version of the film). But from the information I've seen on the movies, Chromia appears only in one, the second film, and she has only a minor role with her sisters Arcee and Flareup (and apparently, she gets killed, but I hope this is not true). Anyway, I will could see in watching the movies.


But I come to the topic: before sleeping, I spent the evening watching videos about Transformers, and that night I had a dream. It was night, and I was alone in my house, dressed and standing in the living room. All was quiet, but there was an explosion in my street, like a laser blast. I looked out the window, and I saw that my village was invaded by kinds of giant robots-dogs, with cannons on their backs. And I saw that several Autobots fought against them, as if to defend my village. Normally, I would have stayed inside my house, but then I went out to try to get closer and better look at the robots. At one point I thought I saw a yellow autobot fight three robot-dogs at the same time (it was maybe Bumblebee, but I'm not sure). He grabbed one of the robot-dogs by the head and hit another with a big back kick in the jaw. At the end of the street, I recognized Optimus Prime, with its blades to wrist. He had cut a robot-dog in two, and he had taken his laser gun to shoot on an entire group, and has sprayed them. I remained hidden behind the low wall in front of my house, and I was trying not to be noticed. But a group of robot-dogs saw me and one of them jumped at me to kill me. I am paralyzed by fear and I can not move. When the robot is close to me, his head is exploded by a laser, and it falls on the floor in front of me. There, I hear a noise of motorcycle and I see Chromia jumping at high speed above my house, with incredible agility. She just passes over me, and she takes a quick glance at me, as if to check if I'm saved, and she starts shooting in bursts on the robot-dogs, and all kill them. When she was above me, my heart leapt in my chest, but not by fear, but rather, in amazement. So I remained hidden behind the wall and watched Chromia massacring the dogs robots by shooting them with her cannon, or rolling over them to finish them. She dodged all their attacks, rolling on the walls of houses, as on a skateboard ramp. Without knowing why, I screamed and encouraged Chromia. Then when dogs robots decided to flee, Chromia is left alone, motionless in the middle of the smoke and carcasses of robots she had killed. I ventured out of my hiding place and I advance to her. I saw her blue eyes shining through the smoke, and she turned to me. I dare not move, and she walks up to me and she looks at me. I see her face a few meters of me. And she said "I know who you are ..... Mathias." 
And I woke up at this moment. 


Yes, it was a very interesting dream, and I hope to do more, to see if Chromia will remember me.

Airbourne and Gene Simmons: no conflict between them

The title may sound strange, but I'll explain

Remember when Gene Simmons had said "rock is dead", well today, Airbourne answered to Gene Simmons, saying "Rock N Roll is alive."
Already, I am a huge fan of Airbourne and Gene Simmons, I respect them and I respect their words. Each of them has the right to express his thoughts as he wants.
Where I'm getting at is that people have started saying that Airbourne provoked Gene Simmons, or others have insulted Gene. Enough! There is no conflict!!! The only conflict is that in the minds of haters that once again want to put the mess!!
Airbourne has nothing against Gene and KISS, they respect them. Airbourne just wanted to say their opinion on the case, and that is their right. The conflict does not exist, it has never existed.

Gene Simmons and Airbourne, I have enormous respect for you and I respect your words and thoughts. Everyone speaks as he wants.

Dragonology and dragon language

This is not new, but I'm a big fan of dragons. Not only for their looks too cool, their very strong powers, but also for their very rich and full history, which led them to be being considered as legendary monsters, almost as gods in some cultures. I have a book on the dragonology, I got it at Christmas a few years ago (great gift), and with this book, I learned a lot about the legends of dragons and their origins, and also there were several species. According to the book, the dragons lived on the earth, about the time of the dinosaurs. It would not be impossible for dragons, or very similar creatures, to have populated the earth before the appearance of man. But where are they now? Have they gone or are they hidden somewhere? We will probably never know.

My book about Dragonology



For some months now, I am learning the dragon language, and I managed to write sentences now. I wanted to learn after playing to Skyrim, and thanks to my favorite dragon of the game, Paarthurnax, a powerful and wise dragon, which I regard as my master. Last night, I spoke with dragon language with one of my very good Canadian friends, and it was great. I'm happy. 
No matter what people say or think about it. I do not care downs or insults. I will continue to speak draconic when I want, and I continue to learn, because to me it's more than a passion, it's a culture.


Paarthurnax, my master


Dragon Language:
Dreh ni vos joriin fun hi Hi los naariv, likaan uv hi los riil. Hi los ol hi los, ahrk tolro zok riid. Neh kos krent ahrk fey mul. Ahstiid, joriin wo lorot nahlii zok qurnen, los grinstiid zok likaan. 

English Translation:
Do not let people tell you you're crazy, weird or you are a monster. You are as you are, and that's the most important. Never be broken and stay strong. Sometimes, people who think being the most normal, are often the weirdest.

Dark Floors: the Lordi movie

Today I watched one of my favorite dvd: Dark Floors, a horror film. With this movie, I discovered one of my favorite bands: Lordi. The film was directed by Pete Riski, a good friend of the singer, Mr. Lordi. The peculiarity is that the monsters in the film are played by the members of the band Lordi, in their own costumes.


To summarize, the film tells the story of a young girl, Sarah, autistic and hospitalized by his father, Ben, who is very concerned for her. One night, Ben tries to make out his daughter out of the hospital, but while they are in the elevator with four other people, the lights go out and the elevator stops on the 7th floor. When the doors open again, the group realizes that the hospital is deserted, and there reigns an abnormal silence. Worse, the infernal creatures invade the hospital and attack anything that moves. And now, everything seems related to Sarah, who seems to know more than the others about what is happening.

Dark Floors is a horror film that uses conventional codes of any horror movie: a macabre and dark atmosphere with an abandoned hospital decor that is somewhat reminiscent of the famous horror game Silent Hill. We note that more the group down up the floors, more the atmosphere becomes agonizing, and the danger is in constantly increasing, and the number of monsters too, as if the group descended towards hell. Time is suspended, and the drawings of Sarah seem to relate to the events of the film, as if she knew in advance what will happen and she draws it.



Characters: 
-Sarah: The main character of the film. Sarah is a young girl declared autistic and hospitalized, but she seems possess gifts, because at no point in the film, she is terrorized by monsters, as if she was aware of their existence from the beginning. Stranger still, the monsters does not attack her (like the scene or Amen pass next to her without looking). Sarah seems to have a direct link with the monsters, as she speaks with authority to Mr. Lordi at the end, as if she tried to compel obedience.
-Ben: Sarah's father. Ben is an important character in the film, because it's sort of the last to die. Ben is a loving and devoted father who wants the best for his daughter and he really wants to protect her. He is rather brave (like the scene where he tries to hit Amen with a chair, or to crush Mr. Lordi with the ambulance). But ultimately, it is reduced to dust by the strange black mass that Mr. Lordi spread around him. 
-Emily: The nurse assigned to care for Sarah. Emily is a serious nurse, who seems much appreciate Ben and who also wants to help Sarah. As she works in the hospital, she may help others to move in the hospital and heal the wounds of others (such as when she helps Jon with his injured leg). Emily gets killed towards the end of the film, by zombies (probably brought to life by Mr. Lordi).
-Jon: A man with a suitcase. Jon is what I describe as "the prototype of the big asshole". It's a rather unpleasant character who does not hesitate to blame the others and is willing to do anything to save his life (even to try to sacrifice Sarah in giving her to the monsters). What makes Jon even more detestable is when he beats Tobias who trying to prevent him. But during the movie, Jon is bitten in the leg by Kita and is killed by Amen.
-Tobias: I would say the most enigmatic character in the film, even more than Sarah. Tobias is a rather elderly man (we do not know how old he is), but as Sarah, he seems to know what is happening and is not concerned about the situation. Tobias often speaks in riddles, and it is quite complicated to understand what he want to say, and once again, Sarah is the only one who can understand him. Despite its mysterious nature, Tobias is a good person because he wants to save Sarah from Jon, and he saves Ben who was going to be killed by Amen (unfortunately, Tobias gets killed by the mummy just after)
-Rick: The security officer. Rick is the character that represents the strength and the law in the film. He wants to do everything to help others, but it has a poor relationship with Jon, who can not stop criticizing him. Rick also knows how to use his weapon, even if it proves useless against the monsters. Rick is the first to be killed in the film, by Ox.


Monsters:
-Awa: Awa is the first monster to appear in the film. It's a ghost, levitating in the air, able to pass through walls and also to push a such powerful screech that can blow glass. Awa seems to be very sensitive to light (as in her first attack, or she disappears after being touched by the light of a scanner). She appears much later, attacking Emily, but she disappears after that Sarah looked at her with an angry look.
-Kita: After Awa, Kita appears. It is an alien monster with a huge jaw and seems much loving human flesh (Is not Jon?), Or when he eats the entrails of a dead body on a stretcher. In his last appearance, he tries to attack Emily, but she manages to push him back by making him electric shocks. As Kita no longer appears after this scene, we do not really know if he survived or not.
-Ox: Ox aka "the brute!" Indeed, it's a minotaur, rather big and beefy, with a terrifying head of big brute, whose favorite pass-time is to destroy the walls and doors with his fists. In his first scene, he attacks the group of survivors, perhaps to try to catch Sarah and he kills Rick who was trying to shot him with his weapon. In its last scene, Ox tries again to attack the survivors, but they manage to retreat into the elevator and Ox no longer appears after that. In the film, Ox is invulnerable (as Rick can attest), and he runs pretty fast (for a monster of his size)
-Amen: You tell me, a mummy in a hospital it's not logic. That's true, but a ghost, an alien and a minotaur, you think it makes sense too? No. And it's a horror movie, so all is possible. In short, Amen is a mummy, rather aggressive with a short temper and a truly terrifying head. He has powers like teleport or trigger sandstorms. In his first scene, he killed Jon (thank you Amen!) And later he was impaled by Tobias (But Amen seems to like to have the last word, and impales Tobias into a kind of "hug of death")
-Mr. Lordi: The leader of the monsters, and certainly the most dangerous: Mr. Lordi, a monster that looks like some sort of evil lord with a too cool armor. Mr. Lordi has powers related to the dark: he appears to produce darkness behind him, which can spread like a living being, and he seems to control it as he want. Mr. Lordi is the last monster to appear, and Ben tries to crush him with an ambulance. Mr. Lordi is the only monster of the movie to"talking" with Sarah, and she seems to have a strange connection with him, as if he was her dark side that wants to get out, but she refuses, otherwise everyone will die.


Although the film is quite difficult to understand at times, even after having seen more ten times as I do, and even if he got a bad review (people have no taste nowadays, it's horrible!!). Dark Floors is a very good movie, with a good atmosphere, good actors, and very great monsters (LORDI!!!)

Godzilla: the movie 2014

Today, I bought a dvd that I waited a long time: Godzilla, the movie 2014. I was not able to go see the movie to the cinema, but I promised myself to buy the DVD. I watched tonight. My conclusion: the film is good, the story is correct, but I was a little disappointed with some points. I'll talk about the film, some good and some bad sides. This is not a criticism, but I was a little disappointed, and I hate to say it, because I'm a big fan of Godzilla.


The story takes place today, while strange seismic and nuclear incidents occur, particularly in the United States and Japan. Humans then discovered that there are millions of years, giant creatures, the mutos, fed themselves of radiations produced by the core of the earth. But two of these creatures come back on the earth, to absorb nuclear power and destroy humanity. No weapon can stop the giant creatures that cause havoc in cities. But a Japanese scientist announces that there is a way to stop them: another monster, Godzilla, who emerges from the depths of the ocean to confront the mutos, to destroy them and restore balance on the earth.

A good idea was to put Godzilla against other giant creatures, to see titanic battles. And another good point: this time, Godzilla is on our side, not against us. The King of the Monsters is somehow the protector of the earth, and it protects against other threats. Unfortunately, the militaries are really stupid, and want to kill Godzilla, while it only wants to protect us. The film shows once again how can the human be willing to do anything to destroy what scares him, even when the thing in question is not hostile towards him. Fortunately, Godzilla is like the mutos and remains insensitive to human weapons. It seems that Godzilla is the only creature capable of killing the mutos.


The final battle between Godzilla and the two mutos is simply superb. We are witnessing the clash of titans expected since the beginning of the film. At first, Godzilla manages to repel them, but the mutos attack together and Godzilla is push down and injured by the two creatures. When we see Godzilla roaring and trying to get up, while the two mutos bite it, claw it and hits it, one can not help but encourage Godzilla mentally, and tell him by thoughts "Go Godzilla! Shows them that you are the King of the Monsters!"
After a difficult and brutal fight, Godzilla manages to defeat the two creatures, but injured, he collapses on the floor. At first I was afraid that he died of his wounds, having just defeated his enemies. But fortunately, at the end, Godzilla awakens and rises triumphantly and people cheer the monster, as their hero.


But there is also a little disappointed in the film: 
The film is called "Godzilla" but the monster appears the first time after 50 minutes of film, after almost half of the film. This is ridiculous. Godzilla appears only in a maximum of four scenes, and even in the early scenes, it appears only a few seconds. The film is still based on the humans, a military father, who wants to find his wife and son, scientists who want to help Godzilla, and soldiers who want to do everything explode. One would almost think this film is centered on the humans, and that Godzilla has only a secondary role in his own film.
I have nothing against the actors, they have done their roles, but when a movie is based on Godzilla, normally it is he who should appear the most and be the top of the pedestal. But there, it's almost like the writers wanted that the human hero steals the show at the King of the Monsters.
But fortunately, the film ends with Godzilla, which roars towards the sky, victorious and alive, then it goes back into the depths of the ocean after completing its mission, 

Finally, Godzilla is a good movie, I'm very glad I saw, but I was just a little disappointed with the lack of apparition of the monster. I wanted to see more scenes with Godzilla, or fight scenes, and less scenes with humans, some were not necessary, from my point of view.

Godzilla is the REAL star of the movie.

The Disney Movies

For this chronicle, I'll talk about something that has rocked the childhood of millions of people worldwide, and even as adults, continue to watch. I am of course talking about the Disney movies. Who never watch a movie disney, or sing a disney song as a child? Myself, I did, and I'm not ashamed.
So, the disney movies are not just movies, it is a very complex world, or each place, each character has been created with care and precision (some people are also inspired by people who really existed, or legends, it depends), with sympathetic heroes, funny characters, some really cool villains (or stupid enough sometimes), and most importantly, impressive stories that leaves you speechless.

Okay I admit that the times when the prince kiss the princess with romantic music, are not really my favorite moments (yes I know, I'm a heartless). No, I kidding. The kissing scenes between the princess and the hero I admit, it's cute, it's touching, it ends well the story, everyone is happy, but it's not my favorite moments in movies disney (me what I like best is the villain)

Well, I will not criticize disney, so do not stoned me please, but I want to talk about something I've noticed: when we are children, we do not really pay attention to detail, what we want is to watch the movie), but looking back, and when we reach adulthood, we realize some details:

-Some stories are still very complex, with sometimes sensitive issues or have really happened, and when you are a child, you know not necessarily all.
-Some scenes can be very hard to watch. For example, the famous scene or Mufasa dies and Simba takes refuge with him, as if to let himself die beside his father. The first time, I cried in watching this scene, and I was 8 years old.
-Some death scenes (heroes and villains), can be quite violent, and even frightening.

But I do not criticize at all disney, I just told these details. The disney movies rocked my childhood and I still look watch them with great pleasure and always a sense of nostalgia. Yes, I'm nearly 21 and I still watch disney movies, because those who say it's for babies or that it's stupid, it's the people who have turned their backs on their childhood, or who did not have a childhood. But after all, everyone has the right to think as they want.

Stop to aggression and cyberbullying! ENOUGH!

Today I talk about aggression and cyberbullying. I explain why.

In France, a girl named Laura (I will not say her family name, by respect), has been attacked in the street, and the worst part is that these attackers have published the video on youtube, or we can see her get hit and insulted (thankfully the video has been removed since), but this kind of behavior has made me really angry. I do not know the names of the attackers, but they are cowards and bastards. Fortunately, they were caught by the police and they are in custody now, and apparently, they can risk jail.
I sent a message of support, as thousands of people have done, to the young Laura.
This story touched me personally, because I myself have been the victim of an attack of this kind qand I was in college, and this story reminded me of bad memories, so I had to react. No one should suffer that.

Big support for you Laura. We are with you.

The rock music changed my life

I was born in the 90s (1993 to be precise), but I became a fan of rock only from 2008. Sometimes when I look back, I told myself that I wanted to become a fan before, and how I have lived all these years without it? But I did not choose, it's fate as they say. Before becoming a metalhead, I was already listening to music, but especially the songs we usually hear on the radio, but I don't really liked, and then one day in 2008, I found the first three groups that made ​​me love the rock music: Motörhead, Nirvana and AC / DC. It was a revelation and I knew at that moment that she would be my type of music for the rest of my life. And Lemmy Kilmister became my first idol. Is that the rock music to change something in my life? Oh yes, of course.

So in 2008, I only had three favorite bands: Motörhead, Nirvana and AC / DC, but in 2009 I discovered another group that has changed my life: Lordi. It's even in this group that I found my first female idol, Awa. From that moment, Lordi became my Interest and my favorite band. Then around 2012, 2013 and this year, I discovered countless bands, to name some: Halestorm, KISS, Gwar, Ghost, Cadaveria, Crucified Barbara, etc......

I was born in the 90s, but I'm also a huge fan of rock music of the 60s, 70s and 80s If I could travel in time, I would go in those times to see the debut of certain groups, and see how it was back then. I also like the bands of the 90s or 2000 I'm very curious who still loves to discover new bands and new music. I'm not picky, when I love music, well, I love. I do not focus myself on a particular genre, I'm open to all styles of rock and metal.

Yeah, the rock changed my life, and for that, I am eternally grateful to all the groups whose I'm a fan, and all my other friends metalhead. 
I'm a metalhead, forever, and proud of it.

All my concerts so far.

Alright, I have not published for a while, but a good friend of mine gave me an idea, and for this article, I will write about all my concerts (to the first to the last for the moment).



1. Lordi (first concert) - April 9th, 2013
For my first concert, I saw a group that has completely changed my life: Lordi. I discovered the group in 2009, but I had to wait until 2013 to see them for the first time in my life. I remember at that time I was in training, and at the end of the day, I'm not even gone through my house and I was going to the concert hall. When I was waiting outside the room, I was really nervous and excited, and I could not believe that I was finally going to see them in live. I loved the group of the opening act, Reverse Grip, a Canadian group, which began set the mood in the room. Then Lordi arrived, and I became crazy and I screamed and almost tear my voice. I am not bored myself for one second, and I was very sad when it was over, but out of the room I said to myself: Damn, that was fucking awesome!!! "



2. Lordi (second concert) - December 11th, 2013
At first, this concert was not planned. In fact, I was not aware of this date. But on my birthday in October, my mother came to my room and gave me my gift: a ticket to see Lordi in concert, because she knew that I'm a big fan. It was the unexpected gift, I was really surprised and happy as hell. Seeing Lordi twice in the same year was unexpected. In the room, I was wearing my mask of Jason Voorhees, one of the cult horror monsters and also a favorite of Mr. Lordi. Several people told me that I had a great look, and I was happy. What about the concert? Well, like the first, I was completely crazy, sweaty with a warmth to death, but a fucking good concert!!!



3. Halestorm - April 30th, 2014
Halestorm is a band I discovered in 2013, and whose I became extremely fan. The singer, Lzzy Hale, has become one of my idols, I really love her, forever. When I heard that the band was coming to Paris for a concert, I did not hesitate for a second and I bought the tickets as soon as I could. The night of the concert, the hall was full and an amazing atmosphere. Both groups of the opening act, The Smoking Hearts and Dayshell were very good, but Halestorm was the best of course. Lzzy Hale had a look of biker with a leather jacket, pants and black boots. During the concert, she did a solo of keyboard right in front of me. I was mesmerized and I could not untie my eyes off her. I managed to show him a message that I had written for her, and she smiled at me. I sent her a kiss with my ​​hand, she has not caught it, but in return she gave me a wink. At that moment, my heart has explode and I was even crazier. And I also managed to catch one of the picks of the band, that the bassist thrown to the crowd. 
If one day I can review Halestorm in concert, I would bring the same message to Lzzy.




4, 5 and 6. Toybloïd - May 9th, May 15th and May 24th, 2014
Toybloïd is a French band formed since only some years, but with already with great potential. I've seen them three times in May, because Toybloïd is still a fairly small group, so the tickets do not cost too much. One member of the group has become one of my idols: Mado, the bassist. At the first concert, I was able to take a photo with her, and I bought the album of the band (dedicated by all members). At the second concert, the atmosphere was as powerful as in the first, and also for the third concert. Moreover, the third concert was free, so I took the opportunity.
Yeah, Toybloïd is maybe a little band for now, but in the future, I'm sure they will become important. 



7. Ghost - July 3th, 2014
Another group that I absolutely wanted to see: Ghost. Before, I had seen pictures of Ghost Rituals by some of my friends, and I was hoping to see them one day. Well, it was done in July, when the demonic group gave a concert at the Citadel in the city of Arras. The concert took place during the day and not at night, I do not know why, and besides it does not matter. There were over 2,500 people waiting to Ghost. From the first notes of the intro, I got chills throughout the body and when Ghost came on stage, I started cheering and shouting as loud as possible. On the last song, "Monstrance Clock", the entire crowd, myself included, we sang with Papa Emeritus II, and it was a memorable ending. Papa Emeritus spoke us in French at few times during the concert, and it was fun, besides he has a very good accent. 
In short, Ghost was absolutely great, and as soon as I can go see them again, let's go!




8. Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, Vanessa Paradis, Détroit - from July 17 to 19, 2014
In July, shortly after the concert of Ghost, I went for three days to a festival in Brittany, where I could see several really talented artists like the French singer Vanessa Paradis, the band The Black Keys that I wanted to see, a French rock group named Detroit, with the french singer Bertrand Cantat, as well as Arctic Monkeys, whose fame is no longer in doubt. This festival was very exhausting, but full of good surprises.



9. Motörhead, Tarja and Airbourne - August 10th, 2014
To end the holidays, I went to a huge concert called "Hard Rock Session" held in the city of Colmar. I could see three artists that I admire a lot and whose I am really fan: Motörhead, Tarja and Airbourne. 
Tarja came in first. She is really beautiful, and her voice too. As she singing, the whole crowd, including myself, also sang with her. We cheered and screamed so stronger for her, at the end of his concert, Tarja shed a tear of joy and we all blew kisses with his hands. The concert started very well. 
Then came the Australian band, Airbourne, whose reputation is growing very fast. These guys are completely freaks! They are inspired by AC / DC, but they give a dynamic hyper concert and hot as hell. The singer Joel O'Keeffe, has explode beer cans on his head and sprayed the audience with. I took a shower of beer by Airbourne. It was too cool !! Congratulations guys!
And to finish the concert, a legendary group, known around the world, and one of the bands I wanted to see the most: Motörhead, with the legendary singer, Lemmy Kilmister. Earlier this year, Lemmy was very sick and I was afraid that the group cancels his dates in France, but ultimately, Lemmy is healed and I'm reassured. 
With Airbourne and Tarja and the atmosphere was already electric, but with Motörhead, it exploded! Despite his age, Lemmy managed to kick our ass with his powerful voice, and I was impressed throughout all the concert. 
So, to finish the holidays, I made the Hard Rock Session. At the end, I was dead tired, wet, but more happy as ever!


Well, it was all my concerts for now. But remember, the important thing is not the number but to enjoy every moment of those moments that will remain unforgettable in your mind and your heart.

Motörhead, Tarja and Airbourne.....In the same show!!! an unforgettable night.

Last night I went to the town of Colmar, to see an amazing show in France: the Hard Rock Session. The purpose of this show is to bring together several rock groups to engage them in a huge concert to the delight of the metalheads. This year, there were four groups: a French group, Blackrain. The Finnish singer and my queen of metal, Tarja. The Australian band, Airbourne. And to finish the concert, a legendary band in the world of rock, Motörhead.


Blackrain began the concert. I do not know much about this group for now, but it was pretty cool and dynamic. Their look is truly original, and one would think a rock band of the 70s.


After Blackrain, it was time for the Queen of Metal, Tarja. When she came on stage, dressed in a beautiful blue dress, my heart started beating very fast and I have scream like a mad man. She is so beautiful in the videos, but when I saw her in live, I found her even more beautiful. Her enchanting voice mesmerized me throughout the concert, and she even sang a song Nightwish "Over the hills and far away." I was really glad she did it. At the end of her concert, me and the entire crowd we've screaming and we've applauded all our strength for her, and Tarja was really happy, she almost shed tears of joy. During the concert, I shouted several times, "I love you Tarja," but I do not know if she heard me. The important thing is that I could see her, and it was a magical moment in my life. 


After Tarja and the metal world, we entered in the world of rock and roll, with the Australian band, Airbourne. I know the group since few months on the internet through their music videos, and I really wanted to see them in real life. Well, I have not been disappointed with their performance, on the contrary, it was Rock and Roll! I was completely crazy, like the rest of the crowd. The singer, Joel O'Keeffe climbed the bleachers to sing at the top and sprinkled the crowd with beer. This guy is completely crazy, but really cool. Airbourne sang her biggest hits, like "Live it Up", "Runnin' Wild" or "No way aim the Hard Way." A great time rock and roll, as we like.


To end the concert, there was the group I was waiting impatiently. A legend in the world of rock. The one and only ..... Motörhead! When the band started the concert, and I saw Lemmy Kilmister for the first time in my life, I almost shed a tear of joy, I was so excited and happy to finally see him. Motörhead made ​​a performance worthy of their legend, and I'm really pleased that Lemmy feels better, because he was very ill earlier this year, and I was afraid that he was forced to delete the dates in France. Motörhead sang some songs of their success as "Ace of Spades" and "Overkill". Me and the whole crowd, we've shouted "Lemmy" for several minutes, to show that we were really happy to see him healthy. He smiled at this welcome for him, he was really happy. Motörhead has the reputation to being the loudest band in the world. Well, I can confirm that this is true. Leaving the room, I was half deaf, but damn, it was so awesome!


Thank you so much, Motörhead, Tarja and Airbourne, for this legendary show. You were awesome, and I hope to see you again, one day!!!!

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: a Masterpiece of a Legendary Saga

Today I went to the cinema to see a movie I waited impatiently: "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" the sequel of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes."
I already loved the first movie, but the second is even better. Darker, a little more action and also moving moments. I'll tell the positives and also the rare little disappointments I've seen in this amazing film.

The story takes place ten years after the first film. Caesar now lives in the forest with his family and his community, in a wooden fortress away from humans. Caesar did not want war with the humans, he wants to live in peace with them, but without being in contact. A group of humans comes into their territory, but do not want to hurt them. At this moment, Malcolm and Ellie, the two main humans of the film, have befriended with Caesar and want what the apes want: to survive and live in peace. Unfortunately, the greed of some men and apes will threaten the peace and lead to a confrontation that seems inevitable. As Caesar said: "War begins!"


The positives:
The script is basic, but very effective. Caesar has a family now, a wife and two son, he wants to protect them at all costs. One might think that Caesar hates humans, but in reality, he wants to give them a chance, because he knows that all humans are not killers. He wants to believe in the goodness of some humans, and that, it proves that Caesar showed more humanity than some men, then that it is a ape. This is why Caesar is my favorite saga character: it is a ape, but with a good man's heart.


The villain of the film is not a man but a ape: Koba, the Lieutenant of Caesar. If Caesar wants that the humans and the apes live in peace, Koba wants to make war against them. It has a boundless hatred for humans since the torture that he suffered in experimental laboratories, which proves its scars on his face and body. Koba is ready at all to eradicate humans, even kill his own brothers and its leader to take his place. Moreover, I was very scared at one point of the movie because I thought Koba had killed Caesar, but finally, Caesar comes back and kills Koba, in an incredible battle at the top of a tower. My only disappointment is that Koba became wicked. It was a very interesting character, and I think it's a pity that it is became like what it hated: a human. But also, I find it interesting that even monkeys can become bad, like humans. Moreover, Caesar realizes when he knows that Koba has trying to kill it, and it told his son: I thought apes were better than humans, but I was wrong. We are like them. "

The end is very beautiful and moving. Caesar killed Koba and took over his place of leadership, but he also knows that an army of humans is on the way towards them, and that confrontation is inevitable. It asked then has his human friend, Malcolm, to flee with his family, to give them a chance to survive. This suggests that Caesar will stay with his army to fight, and give a chance to his new friends to survive. 

I put the note of 10/10 to the movie, because I have not been disappointed once (except for Koba, but I do not take that into consideration). This film is a masterpiece, and I hope that the sequel will be just as epic. Go Apes! Go Caesar! War begins ...... Now!
