Pirates 3, better than 2, more epic in nature.


Pirates 3 comes roaring across the screen and just looks more suited for the summer multiplex than 2’s over hokey humor and hamster ball effects. The story actually holds up nicely considering there are times when you’ve got 50 actors all with speaking lines, and Johnny Depp gets plenty of time to act with himself. Pretty well done, nice atmosphere and its Pirates! A plus!

Hot Fuzz


Finally saw Hot Fuzz today and where it’s not quite as good as Shaun of the Dead it still provides plenty of humor. A very good sendup of the cop-hero genre and just altogether ridiculous at all the right times. The guys from Reno 911 could learn something here.

Super paper done. what now?

Just beat Super Paper Mario for the wii and it ends with a sweet if not corny way. Now the Wii will go dark until somebody releases something Im interested in playing for it. Of course Nintendo has things coming but the third party stuff is just kind of subpar so far don’t you think?

Picked up The Fountain and Pan’s Labrything on DVD today both of which I highly recommend.

Why i love my 360… LIVE ARCADE!


O.k. when I got my Wii I was so excited for the new way to play and Zelda was freaking fantastic. I broke down a while later and got a 360 for all the fancy graphics and larger style games. Guess what? I’ve only been playing the old games availble through the download service Live Arcade. And it is Awesome. Playing TMNT arcade again with four other people is great. Playing a bout of worms for world domination? Great. Playing UNO. Werid but great.
And this wenesday MS is giving us a free sidescrolling 2-d shooter Aegis Wing that up to four people can play at once. Im in love with a service and its LIve Arcade. It’s sad because as much promise as the Wii’s Virtual COnsole had/has the lack of online really is killing some of the multiplayer classics.
