Army of Darkness (1992)
Good God!
If you watch this movie and you have no sense of humor, you'll probably not like it. But for the rest of us, it is fantastic. This is undoubtedly my favorite film. Thats a tall order for a movie but all things considered, i haven't enjoyed a movie more than this one.
One complaint that i do have is that the original theater release is not as good as the directors cut. There are some scenes in the directors cut that fit better in the film.
So all in all, great freaking movie, but if you have the choice watch the director's cut.
10/10
Aliens vs. Predator (2010)
A must have for Sci-Fi fans!!!!!
Ill start of nice and easy. This game is awesome. Its got excitement, story, everything. The game includes 3 campaigns varying in length. Marine=4 hrs Predator=3 hrs Alien=2 hrs. Although it depends on what difficulty your on.
The marine campaign is pretty straight forward. Reminded me a lot of doom 3. It has quite a few surprises, and its very dark. In face a little too dark. You have a flashlight, a weak one, but at least you have it. But you have unlimited flares which really come in handy. It gets a little boring towards the end but still very fun.
The predator campaign is amazing. Almost flawless in my mind. It gives you all the assets the predator can have. Plasmacaster, smart disk, dual wrist blades, staff, and proximity mines. The predator also has his infamous cloak camouflage. His three vision modes are vital to a successful hunt.
-He has his heat vision for seeing humans and other predators though there are no others predators in campaign -He also has his alien vision mode which hi-lights aliens in a bright white The only bad thing i can think of saying is that the alien vision isn't available until you pick up an ancient mask that has that feature. And that the campaign is longer, that would be nice.
The alien campaign is the weakest but is still very fun. It, like the predator campaign is stealth based. The ability to crawl on the walls is useful but sometimes dizzying.
The multiplayer is fun too. Many online modes, some funner that others but all around pretty fun. There is also a feature that is like horde from Gears of War 2. It is fun but is only single player unless you play it online.
So bottom line....buy it. If you are a fan of sci-fi games, you shouldn't be disappointed. Fun campaigns, nice multiplayer, and enough content to keep you busy for a while.
9/10
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (2007)
Guitar Hero III vs. Rockband
I've only played guitar hero 2 and 3 but i can safely say that Guitar hero 3 is better that all of them. And then we come to the cheap imitator Rockband. I'll admit that the rockband guitar is cool, but the strum bar sucks! When you have rapid notes in a row the RB guitar strumbar doesn't come back up very quickly, so your left there pounding on this strumbar. On the other hand, the guitar hero guitar looks just as good if you put the supplied stickers on it so looks good. And on the GH3 guitar, the strumbar quickly retracts back to the top for easy rapid strumming. Not to mention that the song list on GH3 is better than Rockband's.
Basically Rockband is a crappy imitator to the whole guitar hero franchise. It is trying to take Guitar Heros place in our living room, but i don't think this will happen for a couple of reasons.
First, the price of rockband is too much. Plain and simple too expensive.
Second, where are you going to put all the crap (the drums especially). I takes up a lot of room that i walk in. The GH guitar easily stores next to the TV.
In the case of Rockband vs. Guitar Hero III, definitely, GUITAR HERO III. Why, because it is a gaming icon and can't be replaced but a cheap imitator.
Silver Bullet (1985)
Enjoyable!!!
This movie gets a lot a criticism, but honestly, coming from a frequent (Ok all the time) TV watcher, it is my favorite werewolf movie.
So heres how it goes. A werewolf starts killing off people because he in his human form knows that the people will kill themselves if he doesn't,which is a nice twist. The movie is generally eerie probably because Stephen King was the writer of the book this film is based off.
Where as I have never seen the movie on TV, except HBO, I would expect it to be a movie on the Sci-Fi channel on a Saturday. If you ever have the chance to see or buy this movie, take it, you wont be disappointed, much.
Family Guy: Blue Harvest (2007)
Superb
Without a doubt the best family guy episode ever. It starts when the power goes out and peter starts to tell the story of star wars episode four. The story of the episode is basically the same as the real thing, but they make fun of some of the flaws of the actual star wars.
The main character line up is like this:
Peter----Han Solo Chris----Luke Skywalker Brian----Chewbacca Lois----Princess Leah Stewie----Darth Vader Meg----The one eyed monster in the garbage pit Herbert----Obi Wan Kanobi Quagmire----C3PO Clevland----R2D2
If you have the opportunity to see this, take it, it is the funniest thing i have ever seen. Anybody who doesn't like this movie must be a fan of star trek and not star wars.
The title Blue Harvest is quite interesting. It was the fake production title of Return of the Jedi. It has also been released that the empire strikes back family guy episode will be entitled: Something... Something... Something... Dark Side.
AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)
Pretty Cool, but needs some work
First off, i don't see what everyones problem is with this movie. It's one of those movies that is not as good as either of the films main characters movies, and in this case those are alien, and predator. The acting is, well, OK, the best actor without a doubt is Lance Henrikson. The rest are, OK. And definitely the ending left us wondering if there was going to be a sequel with a predator alien hybrid.
I think the reason this movie is trashed so much is because both alien and predator are rated R, and this is rated PG-13, that was a bad move. AVP R, is rated R and i think this will bring in a much broader audience.
So basically, the movie is pretty good and worth watching. I don't think the director Paul W.S. Anderson will be directing another AVP movie in his lifetime because of the disappointment of this film.
Doom (1993)
Perfection
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this game. It should go down as the greatest game in history. Despite it being graphically challenged, it is flawless. It has perhaps the greatest story in all of gaming, and is without a doubt the funnest. The game is spread out into three different episodes, and in the computer version, there is a fourth called, Thy Flesh Consumed. No reason not to buy this game, you should be able to buy it at Wal-Mart or Best Buy, in like a collectors edition containing Doom 2 and Final Doom as well, it was about $10. You can also buy it if you buy the collectors edition of Doom 3, it is in the extras menu and also comes with Doom 2. BUY THIS GAME!
Doom (2005)
Worth Your Time
Pretty descent movie, good action, pretty good actors, and a awesome franchise. First off their are several differences between the movie and the video game (by the way the video game gets a 10/10). In the movie there are genetically engineered monsters, and in the video game the "monsters" are demons, I though this was a little bit of a let down, considering demons are fall better into the story. In the video game Doom 3, UAC is experimenting with teleportation technology, but in the movie it seems that they are just exploring mars and the bones of a humanoid they found.
I feel that by leaving out the demons and putting in the genetic monsters was a mistake, but nonetheless you still get that same scary feel. Oh, and I thing the FPS (first person shooter) portion of the film was pretty cool.
OK, as far as the monsters go, they're pretty true to the game. And all of the classics are here. You've got the Imp, the Hellknight, and pinky. I think instead of the ending being a face off between Sarge and Reaper, it should have been a battle where the two of them face off against the Cyberdemon, but in the end Reaper and his sister still get out alive.
Finally, I think if they were to make Doom 2, the should change the monsters to demons, and have the Cyberdemon in the ending.
AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)
Two alien races descend on a small Colorado town to continue their eon long battle.us
This is a movie definitely worth seeing. It is much different than the first in that there is a lot more action and blood. As good as it is it does have flaws. Lets just say I don't think the acting is going to be nominated for a golden globe, but thats a small complaint when you consider the rest of the movie. The only other problen is some of the lighting, sometimes you cant see well, but again that is a small complaint. Now if you have'nt predator or alien, you might not understand some of the things that the predator or the alien do. Another new thing is the predalien, he prettymuch is sweet but not as sweet as the predator. This movie is worth seeing but if your not sure, wait until it comes out on DVD.
