True Blood [HBO]
gauntlet — Fri, 10/03/2008 - 02:35
I've started watching True Blood (so far there have been 4 episodes) and find it pretty entertaining so far. Vampires + Comedy + Drama + HBO = Good Times
From IMDB: The series follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid living in Louisiana who can read people's minds, and how her life is turned upside down when the Vampire Bill, walks into her place of employment two years after vampires 'came out of the coffin' on national television.
The cast and theme of this series is what makes this such a successful story. The series takes place in a made-up town in Louisiana. A synthetic blood has just been created and thus allows the vampires of the world to come out into the mainstream.
So anyways, has anyone here ever watch an episode?
Burn After Reading

I was super stoked to see this movie...I thought that it would be along the lines The Big Lebowski or something. It turns out that it just happens to be one of the most over-rated and boring movies of the year. The only performance that merits attention is Brad Pitt's portrayal of the work-out freak named Chad Feldheimer. There were a few seconds of laughter with that character, but the rest was a serious disappointment.

Ok, so Ninja Gaiden (my favorite game for xbox) FINALLY has a sequel for the 360. i've played the first 3 chapters and am prepared to say it's awesome. they didnt change many of the controls from the first game so luckily i have a good idea of how to do everything already, including a lot of the badass combos, which makes the game work well for me right from the get go.

This movie was great! Lots a great action, including some nice special effects a la Matrix-esque. The writers also mixed in some pretty entertaining dialogue as well - which all added up into creating one AWESOME movie!
The movie made over 51 million during opening weekend...and has received a lot of positive feedback.
Conan - Xbox 360, PS3
SadExchange — Mon, 06/02/2008 - 08:42
From the books of Robert E. Howard to your living room televsion comes Conan for the Xbox 360. Releasing on October 23rd of 2007, players are given the chance to command one of the most barbaric men who has been apart of everything from movies to comic books. Conan brings hack and slash gameplay much like God of War into your very own Hyborian adventure, but is hack and slash gameplay good enough to justify a playthrough of this latest adventure game?
There Will Be Blood

I finally watched There Will Be Blood over the weekend and was once again reminded of what a great actor Daniel Day-Lewis is. Seriously, he's scary good.

Boring. That pretty much sums it up.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (PS3)
gauntlet — Thu, 05/08/2008 - 00:27
This game has recently been named "Game of the Year 2007" for the PS3, so it's probably deserving of some attention here. It's been called "Tomb Raider meets Gears of War" which I'm inclined to agree with...with perhaps more emphasis on Tomb Raider than Gears of War.

I played through this game a few months ago and it was a fun time. Overall the graphics were smooth and brilliant, the game play was solid (although not unique), and the storyline was entertaining - think National Treasuresque.

Truly, if there were a formula that Nintendo used to put games on the DS it would be something like this. 1) Take good game for a console that we can get rights to. 2) Make a sequel with a quickly thrown together plot. 3) add gimmiky shit. sure, the game was fine before, but now we need to add the stylus as a control for no reason other than we can.
Viewtiful Joe, Double Trouble

Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble tries to pick up where the Gamecube VJ's have left off. I loved the gamecube versions, they took a decent side scrolling fighting game and made it great by giving you the ability to use 3 theatrical-themed powers (slow mo, fast mo, zoom in). Each power added a little something extra to make the fighting great, and the ability to combine them together to stomp even harder on baddies was just mind blowing.
