The Vanguard (2008)
Great Movie Stop Complaining
This movie was different but not in a bad way. Usual zombie fans might not like it because this movie has a story outside of the zombies. Like all the good zombie films the zombies are merely background while the characters themselves bring the story to life giving it edge and grittiness.
For being a low budget movie it did a great job of being one of those awesome movies where you get lost in the story it is so intriguing. Fact is it was over and I still found myself wanting more from the sheer brilliance of this masterpiece.
Movies like this this are in the horror genre that I love do not come along often enough. Its films such as these that set a new standard for the industry to follow. SO study hard NYU students you have a tough act to follow!
Clerks II (2006)
Great movie though it would suck
do it took like 10 years for Kevin smith to get his head out of his ass and get back to doing what he does best. social commentaries and comedy. Don't get me wrong about his writing ability but everyone has their genres their good at and he is so deep I hate seeing it go to waste on the other flops that ruined his career.
Clerks one was so brilliant and dogma was a terrific play on religions and comedy that didn't come off blasphemous. More it came off like it was just having fun with the real world events in the church and modern day religion.
This movie is fantastic and so funny with clever wit. More buddy flicks with Randall and Dante! everyone loved your other buddy flicks so why give it up now get back to work for your fans we love you!
The Matrix Online (2005)
Professional Game Review
All the actors have quit and they killed off all the primary characters like Morpheus and cypher. The story in the online RPG used to be told in chapters until all the actors quit. Now they just show some storyboards with some hammy voice acting. YET THEY STILL CHARGE YOU THE SAME AMOUNT 19.99! That is the most expensive monthly charge of all MMO's.
A Major problem a lot of people have is that your character can reach level 50 yet the enemies only go up to level 25 providing no challenge after the initial 24 hour experience. Its a better social networking site and it does this quite well by allowing you to interact with other players and use emotes like dance and sit. I feel they should of had more emotes like WoW instead of just dance and sit. An odd thing is that the matrix is supposed to contain all of humanity. Yet its all white people so apparently the matrix was really invented by Hitler. This is why the writers and actors quit the project unfortunately. This is an excellent idea on paper but once Sony took took over the implementation of that idea the story went downhill.
So after level 25 your granted access to interact with NEO an NPC who is always standing there but ignores you like a buffoon. At level 25 he tells you that you have "ascended" and he explains his rebirth and the path towards the light of truth. WOW! Then NEO sends you on a bunch of fetch quests for him that involve tracking down rogue spies in ZION outside the mainframe. Its kind of cool piloting the ship but they could have added some better missions than pick up this pipe or searching for broken wires to repair. At level 30 Neo goes through his transformation revealing he is actually not human but the collective consciousness of the earth itself.
WHAT THE CRAP IS THAT!
so anyways he then sends you on more quests and after about the 10th is completed. The last mission involved seeking out a hermit who is an exile program who tells you that Neo needs the sword of infinite light. Though he never tells you how to get it and when you return to Neo he congratulates you then says he is off to find the sword to defeat the "Gatekeeper of Minoch". Neo then goes back to standing there like a tool. The war mechs should have been used to battle sentinels not move things around. When he gave me the mech quest i was hoping for something better than just moving solar generators from one place to another.
All in all I expected a lot more from a current game. The graphics are very poor and there is relatively no challenge and explains why the target audience is 13-16 due to its rating. Any online coop experience is always ruined due to the overwhelming number of children who play this game for free since they get keys to demo the games and just keep playing free instead of ever signing up. It seems they play solely to ruin the enjoyment for the paying members.
Regretfully I have canceled my membership today :(
I Am Omega (2007)
Apocalyptic Survival Horror Not bad !!!!
Just got done watching this movie. Seems like a solid story and I like the parallels with the I am legend movies. Seems like they tie in well and flush out more of the background. Be warned this is low budget but that does not mean it is a waste of time. People who complain about them not having money to make it better need to chill out and realize that the story is solid. The acting is great except for the girl who I just wanted to die. Whenever she talked she ruined the movie. The guys did a great job with their characters and they really came to life. I would have given this an 8 but that horrid acting from that girl made me give it a 4. She turned low budget film into a disaster. I would rather watch babies get kicked out windows then watch her in another movie.
Yes this movie is low budget so why complain about that. If you like good stories that are survival horror or apocalyptic you might like this. I liked it except for that girl who just ruined the movie for me. Her acting is very out of character and it shows unfortunately. Luckily her horrible attempt at acting didn't lower the morale of the other actors on the set.
Hope this gets remade with the same people minus the stupid girl who has no talent!!!
