Today's blog is going to be totally dedicated towards reviewing a whole slew of things! Like games and movies and stuff of that sort. Why should this matter? Well, that is a good question!Um... wow, why should this matter?
Because I like to write and that is what I feel I must do today! And lord knows I've been busy on gaming and movies lately.
But! I'd be damned if I actually did a post here without adding in a picture of a very good looking girl to go along with it. What does it have to do with reviews you wonder? Nothing! But still, what's life without a little dash of pleasure?
...no, I don't mean it like that either!
So anyway, pictured here is Jessica Biel, whom I must say was pretty kick ass in Blade: Trinity a few years back. Or has it been longer? Anyway, I hear that she is in that new comedy "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry."
Speaking of which, I also heard (I do a lot of hearing these days) that the movie was pretty funny. Makes me kind of want to watch it, but I can say that it definitely isn't on my short list of "Must See" movies.
Moving along... the newest craze to his my humble little household has been picking up old works of the likes of Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Ok and some not so old stuff as well, but you get the idea I imagine.
Top of that list is New Police Story, starring Jackie Chan. Basic rundown of the story is a bunch of rich kids get together and make a game of killing off cops and Jackie Chan's character happens to cross their path and is basically broken at the hands of these kids. All in all, the hero comes out on top.
It is an interesting movie, despite what might sound like a generic story.I think I also said this before, but I think it is worth repeating. New Police Story definitely shows off the range of acting ability on the part of Jackie Chan. And the standard kick ass fighting scenes are also present, which is a obvious staple here.
One thing that was interesting was the fact that Jackie Chan kind of swayed away from putting comedy into this. I mean he is known for his comedy/martial arts films after all. Then again, I can understand how it would not have fit into the story, considering the tone of it and all.
Random thought: I love Myspace. Actually, that's a lie... but I do have a profile. Why? Um... like before, good question! I keep it to get even MORE spam mail! Hahahahaha! (<---losing it)
Next movie up is Black Mask, starring Jet Li.
I don't know, my girlfriend likes this movie and I... eh, me not so much. It's like a cheesy B-movie, complete with the cheap 'special effects' and fairly lame bad guys. I don't want to say too much else about this one, because I could spend a few too much moments about this then I'd like.
Then there is Disgaea the Anime, which doesn't count as a movie... but still!
I've gotten to watch the first five episodes and I can at least say that I haven't got any real complaints to air out about it. I like it! Then again, some days I am far too easily entertained... does that say anything?
Still, it is a fairly good series that gives more life to the story and characters that were in the PS2 game.
Speaking of Disgaea, I will eventually finish off the second game one of these days. Mark my words! I swear it!
Maybe.
Next up! Game time!
Call of Duty 3... there isn't much to really say about this besides the fact that it felt and played like a typical FPS. My only real gripe about it was the incredibly stupid A.I. that accompanies your squad members. I mean come on, the Nazi guy is sitting not even foot away and rather then going in for a melee kill, both of them will stand there and shoot each other. And miss! Truly sad sight folks, it really was...
Speeding along here, next game up for bashing... er... reviewing is Rumble Roses XX. I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I rented this thing. Dare I call it a game? I mean I kind of knew what to expect, having played the first game a few years ago. I guess I thought, I don't know, maybe there would actually be some real game play in it this time?
Yeah, like DOA Beach Volleyball is a real sports game...
I do thank god that regular wrestling games don't go with the zoom in cam idea whenever a submission hold gets locked on. Dear lord, I don't wanna see that! *vomit*
...Overall, it isn't fun, its lame and that's $8 and maybe a half hour of life that I will never get back.
I think the next 2 games I'd like to rent will probably Sonic the Hedgehog and The Darkness. Both look promising, one of them actually sounded fun. Wow, maybe that wasn't a good choice of wording? Oh well.
Now it's back to sitting in front of my XBox 360 and cussing out that incredibly weak Overlord in... well... Overlord. He gets whooped by bugs! What evil Overlord gets whooped by tiny, ugly, little bugs anyway!?
