Braid: an interesting video game I am playing this on Steam via PC, but I know that this game will play much better on console than a keyboard.  What makes this game so entertaining is the Time Bending stuff.  You can speed, slow and stop time in the game play.  You will never truly die because you can reset your mistakes.  So it gives platform gaming a completely different take because you have to see patterns in a completely different way.  I had to play this for a class, but I am happy that I did.  It has tributes to other platform games such as Mario Brothers and Donkey Kong.  You have to really look for those.  Plus there are hidden things in the backgrounds of the levels that are interesting to look at.  It is but isn't a regular platform game.   The gameplay can be taxing at times.  The game is pretty look at and the music is lovely.  But, I don’t like the true meaning behind the game.  It is a f...

That's My Boy Trailer (Another Adam Sandler joint) Yes, that is a real movie. You actually witnessed that. Doesn't it seem like Jack and Jill 2? I've come to the conclusion that Sandler doesn't care anymore. After the track record of Grown Ups and Jack and Jill, he is just in it to make more money without quality. -Why is Adam doing that stupid voice? It isn't funny. - Who thought it was a good idea to bring Andy Samberg and Sandler together? -What is Vanilla Ice doing in the movie? IMDB has him listed in the credits. -Is it going too far with the Teacher/Student baby thing? -Did they really need to have literal spit-take in the trailer?

The Samurai Frog mentioned his favorite track from the old Transformers movie, I wanted to add my faves as well. Yes all the tracks are pure 80s hair band stuff, but that's part of the charm. This is the Alt Transformers Main Title I actually like this version better than the actual one used in the film. This has the Vince DiCola action cues thrown in. Instruments Of Destruction This track was used when the Decepticons killed off some of my favorite characters from season one of the show. When they blew away what was left of Ironhide with the line , “Such Heroic nonsense.”  I was like, wow they went there.   Nothing is going to stand in our way...not tonight.

Chet Haze: You can only fail upwards...I guess (Tom Hanks son) Yes, that is considered music today. Did you know that Tom Hanks has a rapper/singer son? While Colin Hanks is a very good actor that's done his homework, his other song Chet (Chester) Hanks decided to make a rap album. I guess because of his talented father and half brother, no one has the guts to tell him that he's not very good. Plus, I am amazed how full of himself he is considering what songs he's put forward. He's like that “bro” at the party that thinks he's the shit. But, he's the “shit” in another manner. Don't take my word for it, read the book I mean listen to his music. He tried his hand at rapping then switched to singing kind of. Does your ears bleed now? He's like the bro that doesn't know that he's a complete joke. It's people like that I truly hate...posers. By the way, Chet, why not call yourself Chester Haze? Not street e...

Random Thoughts ~ Snakes on the Plane: The reviewer has some good points about the movie. I remember all the Internet people hyping this movie up like crazy. Early memes went everywhere with this “Motherfing Snakes”. Just because it is supposed to be campy doesn't mean it is good. Why would you throw a dog at a snake? I love the disappointment people had after watching the movie. ~ The Evolution of the Beverly Hills Cop Franchise. The Agony Booth guys went over the franchise of the BHC. I agree that Axle is a character we can root for because he makes mistakes and things happened to him over the movie. (Like getting thrown through a window and arrested...) BHC II is an action film with Eddie riffing on it. The only thing that is not good is Brigitte Nielsen. Maybe I just hate her because of her recent reality show things. BHC III is where the big problem is. ~ Al-Assad E-mail hacked . I love that these revealing e-mails came out about this guy. As he was...

The Nutty Professor :   Now, this is where people say Eddie switched to a more family centered mode of acting.   However, if you go back and watch it again, Eddie’s “Buddy Love’s character says some mean and dirty things throughout the movie.   It pushes the limits of PG13.   Jada Pinkett Smith has never looked as cute as she does in this movie.   She’s pretty good and works well with Eddie in both personalities.   While I don’t think someone as cute as Smith would even bother dating someone like Klump, I do like the simple message of what inside is what counts.   This is a good movie from Eddie, but it gets worst from here on.   And, Dave Chappelle is great as the rude comedian. _______________________________________ Eddie:  "Whoa, don't blame me for this shitty movie." Metro :   Completely forgettable and bland.   It isn’t really a comedy, except the ads made it seem like a standard action comedy.  ...

Kuwait plays the Borat theme instead of the real Kazakhstan National Anthem From BBC , (( Footage of Thursday's original ceremony posted on YouTube shows gold medallist Maria Dmitrienko listening to the anthem without emotion and finally smiling as it ends. )) Yes, it rather amusing and funny, but people in Kazakhstan are pissed about it.   Think of it this way, you would be pissed too if they played “America F’ Yeah”.   Okay, maybe not, because that song is cool.   Anyway, can you even make a mishake like that?  

Mass Effect 3 vs. the fanboy s MC has a thoughtful and damning post on the foolishness from some of the Mass Effect fans about the disappointing ending. I am one of the first people that has been really pissed how certain shows were ended by the writers. I am in agreement with MC on this. Remember, I hated the ending to The Sopranos. If you want an ending that means nothing to anyone, watch that shitty ending. A blank screen? What about the shitty ending to Star Trek Enterprise? Braga let another producer run the fourth season up until the last episode and took over the ending because of his ego. The last episode is considered one of the worst endings on TV. That was the way you end the franchise, Braga? Again, that pissed me off to no end. What about that stupid Heaven ending to Lost? Really? This is hard for me because I am a critic of sorts and bitching about bad endings and complaining about writers is sort of my job. But, some of these fans are taking i...

The Money Pit Bathtub scene ( From Hollywood Babble-On) They talked about this being a horrible acted scene on the podcast, but I still laugh at it every time. I would have probably reacted the same exact way. I remember laughing at the scene when I was a kid and still laughing at it now. Hanks is great in this moment, and it is purely old school Hanks.   

Michael Jackson: Don't Stop Til You get enough...Sega Remix Wow, this is a good remix by DJ Yuzoboy. The original version of this song is often overlooked.

Another 48 Hrs.: Reggie Hammond is back. I’ve stated before that I liked this movie a lot. And, the ending is pretty funny. Eddie looks a little heavier, and he’s come out said so. Some say Eddie looks bored here, but I don’t see it. The bus attack is very well done, but the strange techno cowboy bar is a little strange. There are some good moments too. Plus, it was cool that they made the main villain one of the minor characters from the first movie. I think it is a good follow up to the first movie. ___________________________________________________________________________ Boomerang: I really enjoyed this one too. Halle Berry looks cute and Robin Givens is stunning. Murphy had a lot to do with the production. He has a story credit. The supporting cast is great too. Martin Lawrence and David Alan Grier are great as his friends. Grace Jones and Chris Rock are wonderful too. How about that crazy Grace Jones ad? _______________________________________________________________...

 Vince Offer...offers his Schtichy Yes, this actually is a real product by the Shamwow Guy. You can check out the site here . “Problem with that shedding pussy?” I can't believe he got away with that one. And, then he makes fun of his time in jail. We all know what happened there. Are we sure he isn't talking about his little Slap Chop in this ad? I haven't seen an new ad by this Shamwow guy in ages. If he's going to fight Scientology, he needs to make more ads. (honestly, check out the info about him and the Space Church) I am almost sure he made this ad so people could remix it and make it dirty.

The Donut Express:   Do I really need to make donuts at home? I kind of like that I have to go somewhere to get some donuts, and not have the ability to make them at home.  

  Tiger Woods:  "Your soul is mine!" Shaq Fu II?  Tiger Woods vs. Shaq Fu I liked this preview of sorts, but I had one thing on my mind the whole time.   Shaq-Fu.  Didn’t EA produce that game too?  Please tell me EA is aware of the unwanted fame Shaq Fu has received from gamers over the years.  Anyway, the ad is pretty amusing.  Please have a Shaq-Fu code, EA… Tiger Woods:  "We have both had some shitty years." Shaq:  "Hye! Divorce seems to be popular with both our clans." ________________________________________________________ Tiger Woods:  "I have come to stop you from making more movies.  I  have watched both Kazaam and Steel, you have dishonored me."  _________________________________________________________________ Tiger Woods:  "Hye, I learned this move from ducking swings from my ex-wife.  I call it Crouching Tiger, Hidden Sexting." __________________________...

Prometheus trailer 2 “Big Things have small beginnings.” That trailer kicked ass.   There is no doubt about it.   This Prometheus movie is clearly a prequel to Alien .   The “Space Jockey” is alive in this trailer.   You actually see him getting stripped into the seat.     Also, This movie looks totally badass.   While it isn’t a direct prequel, it clearly sets things up for the Alien franchise.   -We a shot of a space ship looming over a waterfall:   I believe this is a flashback to the beginning of our race being genetically changed, because there is a shot of a “human” with shit going through his veins.   -There is a really cool shot of the deep sleep beds from the Alien franchise.   - Film school rejects points out one huge foreshadowing bit ; Ridley Scott did say “ Alien   DNA” was in the film.   Notice the sticky stuff?   Hmm.   From Wiki , ((Scott released a statement: "While Alie...
