UFC 123 outcomes

So This is how I thought the fights would go down.
George Sotiropoulos will beat Joe Lauzon via Decision
Phil Davis will beat Tim Boetsch via TKO
Gerald Harris will beat Maiquel Falcão via KO
Matt Hughes will beat B.J. Penn via I am going with something crazy a SUB
Lyoto Machida will beat Quinton Jackson via Decision.
I am going with Lyoto Machida because I really think he will be to fast but I want Jackson to win badly. so if jackson doesn't win I will be happy because I got my pick right and if he win I will be happy because he KO'd Machida again.

And this is how they went down
George Sotiropoulos beat Joe Lauzon via Sub in the 2nd
Phil Davis beat Tim Boetsch via sub 2nd
Maiquel Falcão beat Maiquel Falcão via Decision
Bj Penn Ko'd Matt hughes in 27 SECONDS!
Quinton Jackson beat Lyoto Machida vis Split Decision.

Let me say that I have it 2 round to 1 in favor of jackson I thoung that jackson clearly won the first while in the 2nd it was pretty even but jackson did get a takedown so I gave him the 2nd aswell. and machida got the third. I don't know why machida was so shocked when he lost.

Here is the set fight card

George Sotiropoulos vs. Joe Lauzon
Phil Davis vs. Tim Boetsch
Gerald Harris vs. Maiquel Falcão
Matt Hughes vs. B.J. Penn
Quinton Jackson vs. Lyoto Machida

and here's how I think it will go down

Phil Davis will beat Tim Boetsch via TKO
Gerald Harris will beat Maiquel Falcão via KO
Matt Hughes will beat B.J. Penn via I am going with something crazy a SUB

I really wonder what Bj penn is going to do If he loses to Hughes. I think he should stay at lightweight.

UFC 121 Outcomes *The Night Of Decision*

UGH this was a horrible night when you pick fighters and none of them win and I mean NONE win it makes for a long night even more so when EVERY FUCKING FIGHT IS A decision... But I did go with some stupid picks I should have played it safe and went with the guys that I thought could grind out a win. On with the card

Now my thoughts going in was
1) Gabriel Gonzaga will Ko Brendan Schaub
2) Tito Ortiz will beat Matt Hamill via Decision
3) Paulo Thiago will beat Diego Sanchez via whatever hoprefully sub (two ppv and my 3 least favorite fighters!)
4) 85% chance Shields wins BUT I am going witha wrench having Martin Kampmann beat Jake Shield somehow.
5) Brock Lesnar will beat Cain Velasquez via tko. Cain can only win on his feat he might be able to pull off what carwin couldn't

and lets get this over with:
1) a Heavyweight fight that went the distence....Brendan Schaub beat Gabriel Gonzaga via Decision. At the end Schaub said that hes happy to beat a top 10 ranked fighter.....:| If hes top ten then the real top ten must be in the negatives. He was top ten before randy kicked his ass... how the fuck is Gonzaga even in the top 20 hell if he not already his next lose he will be cut...yup top 10 and this happened again!
2) Matt Hamill Beat Ortiz via Decision. And after the fight Hamill said that hes happy that he can beat a top 10 ranked fighter....who ortiz? really? hasn't won since 2008? top 10...on whose fucking list? I don't understand that it makes no sense he beat a guy with THREE FUCKING LOSES IN A ROW! machida, griffen, and HIM top 10 off of 3 loses really this just makes the sport look bad...
3) ugh Diego Sanchez Slugs his way into a win on Thiago via guess what ANOTHER Decision. And the worst thing is he thanked Jesus for the win... WTF DID JESUS COME DOWN AND BLIND HIM why the fuck do fighters or anything thank there god it had nothing to do with that. This is one of the reason I hate Diego he works his ass of and then throws away all his hard work by saying Jesus let him win...then why train why have people in your couching you!!!
4) Shields beats Kampmann somehow,,,IF..IF! shields gets GSP OFF OF THIS FIGHT....then UFC has hit rock bottom! He fucking gassed in round 2 and had a hard time taking him down. was in crazy amounts of sub attempts and got kneed in the face a few times. this didn't look that the "Amazing" fighter that was suppose to take the belt from gsp. before the fight I was worried that shields could beat gsp but after this fight I think hardy was a harder fight for gsp OHHH BURN!
5) and ya Cain TKO Brock. going in 0-4 I called that Cain was going to win my luck just wasn't there maybe had I picked Cain Brock would have won but ill never know. so I guess Brock can fight Kongo or Mir and big nog. I am thinking they will get the Mir Brock 3 fight now...watching this fight I felt like Brock was finally shown to be all hype it felt like he had no talent and his whole thing is just his size because Cain stopped his take downs and even took him down. I just saw something in Brock I don't know what but I knew he lost. ALSO if you watch any of his fights HE HATES BEING PUNCH IN THE FACE I saw this with randy when he punched Brock in the face Brock went for the take down which is a big problem anyway

This fight card I guess could have been great had you pick schaub,Hamill,Diego,shields, and Cain (which 4 of the 5 where favorites right?  Cain being the only non favorite.) you would might have had a blast?

UFC 120 outcomes

Fine ill do it apparently if I don't update this after a shitty card like ufc 120 ill end up going 0-5...ANY who lets get this over with.

I picked:
1) Claude Patrick will beat? James Wilks via sub. I know wilks but I don't know patrick.
2) Travis Browne will beat Cheick Kongo via KO
3) John Hathaway will beat Mike Pyle Via Decision
4) Carlos Condit will kill Dan Hardy via Sub (I hate hardy)
5) Yoshihiro Akiyama will beat Michael Bisping via KO. Note this match wont be a ground fight Bisping has good take down defense. (I hate bisping)

And this is how it went down if I remeber
1) Claude Patrick beat James Wilks via decisio
2) Draw dumb fight I still think Travis Browne won 2 rounds to 3 and also - point on kongo so 29-27
3)Mike Pyle won via decision
4) YAYAYAYAYA CONDIT KO'D DUMBASS HARDY VIA 1ST ROUND GOODNIGHT!
5) Bisping won

Over all this fight was just dumb I can not get into cards that are not live known that the world already knows who win just ruins the fun of it. I love jumping out of my set with the rest of the world that's watching the ppv. anyways after the dumb draw with lame ass I scared to do anything kongo I finally gave up and decide to do something that was more enjoyable so...I cleaned my room.

Strikeforce: San Jose out comes

1) Tyron Woodley vs. André Galvão I thought
André Galvão will beat Tyron Woodley via Decision and
Tyron Woodley defeated André Galvão via tko

3) Sarah Kaufman vs. Marloes Coenen I thought

Sarah Kaufman will beat Marloes Coenen via TKO and
Marloes Coenen beat Sarah Kaufman via sub. I never said Marloes was bad I just wished she was coming off a win not a lose. I knew she could win but just the fact that she was coming off a lose I couldn't pick her.

2) Josh Thomson vs. Gesias Cavalcante I thought
Josh Thomson will beat Gesias Cavalcante via Decision and
Josh Thomson beat Gesias Cavalcante via Decision. I thought it was one one and the first I gave to Cavalcante.

4) Nick Diaz vs. KJ Noons I thought
Nick Diaz will beat KJ Noons via KO and
Nick Diaz beat KJ Noons via Decision

went 2 for 2 I wish Sarah Kaufman won her fight

Something I will be getting

Image is from dvdaf.com I ordered this today which I should be getting before December which is Metropolis - Limited Edition - The Masters of Cinema Series (147 Minute Version) (Steel Book). It contains the DVD and bluray versions of the film along with a 56 page book all in a nice steel book. I have never seen the film before so I am looking forward to it. Also I have never seen a silent film all the way through so this will be either fun or painfully. I do find the trailers of the film to be wonderful. I really like the feeling that the trailer gives. So I plan on taking some pictures of it if I can once I get it.

UFC 120 thoughts

 I am really looking forward to this free ppv for one reason it has two of my least favorite fighters fighting guys that I think will kill them. Heres the card.
James Wilks vs. Claude Patrick
Cheick Kongo vs. Travis Browne
John Hathaway vs. Mike Pyle
Dan Hardy vs. Carlos Condit
Michael Bisping vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama

Here is how it will go down:

1) Claude Patrick will beat? James Wilks via sub. I know wilks but I don't know patrick.
2) Travis Browne will beat Cheick Kongo via KO
3) John Hathaway will beat Mike Pyle Via Decision
4) Carlos Condit will kill Dan Hardy via Sub (I hate hardy)
5) Yoshihiro Akiyama will beat Michael Bisping via KO. Note this match wont be a ground fight Bisping has good take down defense. (I hate bisping)

Strikeforce: San Jose Thoughts

So lets get into it heres the card:
Nick Diaz vs. KJ Noons
Sarah Kaufman vs. Marloes Coenen
Josh Thomson vs. Gesias Cavalcante
Tyron Woodley vs. André Galvão

And this is how it will go down:
1) André Galvão will beat Tyron Woodley via Decision
2) Josh Thomson will beat Gesias Cavalcante via Decision
3) Sarah Kaufman will beat Marloes Coenen via TKO. One thing... Why the Fuck! does Marloes Coenen get a title match she comes into strikeforce off of a lose and wins her first fight which the one fight win streak earns her a title match with Cristiane Santos. Which she got her ass kicked! after that she drops in weight and Once again OFF A LOSE gets a title shot for Sarah Kaufman title. Not saying she can't win or that shes bad but she hasn't proven herself to fight for the title. It makes the belt look bad. I really don't think women right now should have titles because there really isn't enough women in the sport to have titles. like who in the women's mma can beat Santos...no one shes going to have the title and defeat 10 other women and go down in history for most title defenses for women because there was no competition at the time. I am not saying they shouldn't get titles I am just say there need to be more women in the sport to warrant belts. This match shows that, they don't have anyone else that is good to fight Sarah and so they have to give it to Coenen who should have won at least 3 more fights in that weight class before being given a title shot. I just hate it when a fighter hasn't shown that they should be in a title fight. For example I don't think Cain Velasquez should get a title fight. I was wanting Cain Velasquez Vs Junior dos Santos for the number one contender BUT ufc wants it to be Cain Velasquez VS Brock and then winner of that will fight Junior dos Santos which then who after that rematches?

Bottom line NO one off a lose should get a title match! or even off of one win.

anyways here's the main event
4) Nick Diaz will beat KJ Noons via KO

UFC 119 outcomes

1) Melvin Guillard vs. Jeremy Stephens
Guillard will KO Stephens in the 2nd round (Can Guillard be getting a title shot soon?)
Guillard  won via SD

2) Sean Sherk vs. Evan Dunham
I am going to go with Dunham on this. I think he will get a sub or a Decision
Sherk wins via SD that's just bad Dunham should have won

Matt Serra vs. Chris Lytle
This is a hard fight both have KO power and Lytle has been amazing lately and has never been Ko'd tko's or subed (hes lost twice due to cut). So Lytle will beat Serra
Lytle wins via UD

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Ryan Bader
I hate this match up because Lil Nog will lose to Bader. But I am going to Nog I don't know how or even think so but I can hope can't I?
I find it funny how one point can piss me off Bader wins via UD 30-27 which it should have been 29-28

Frank Mir vs. Mirko Filipović
Mir's size will be to much for cro cop to handle I think. lets just hope he doesn't get nutted 4 times. (Cro cop vs Overeem) I think Mir will Tko cro cop in the 1st.
Mir KO's Cro Cop in the 3rd (Boring fight)

Dream 16 outcome

So lets get into it first off:
1) Yusuke Kawaguchi vs James Thompson
I have to go with Kawaguchi just because I don't know whats not working with Thompson

2) Mitsuhiro Ishida vs. Akiyo Nishiura
Ishida will win via decision
Ishida wins a SD

3) Kazuyuki Miyata vs. Takeshi Inoue
This one is hard because I don't know either of the fighters and so I will go with Inoue
Once I found out who Miyata was I knew I would lose so Miyata wins Via UD

4) Hideo Tokoro vs. Joachim Hansen
Tokoro will win Via sub
Hansen won Via sub

5) Michihiro Omigawa vs. Cole Escovedo via sub in the first
I really like Omigawa so I think he will beat Escovedo

10) Gegard Mousasi vs. Tatsuya Mizuno
Mousasi will win via tko
Mousasi wins via sub

The Red Shoes #44

Watched this film about a week ago and I have to say, a year ago I would have never bought a film called The Red Shoes and with that said I love this movie. Once I saw the little bit on Criterions site for it, I had to check this film out. The lead actress does a great job in the movie same with the two male actors. I loved the Red Shoes play that is in the film and would love to see it live. The music, makeup and costumes where all great.

I would say that everyone should own this blu ray the picture and sound are just out of this world. Criterion went out of their way to give use this amazing transfer and hopefully with this dvd release this film will live for ever. The only thing that makes me sad is that most kids now a days won't ever watch this film.

*Introductory restoration demonstration with filmmaker Martin Scorsese

Revanche #502

I watched Revanche about 3 weeks ago and I loved this film. It builds and builds all the way till the end when you get a really intense scene I really loved the ending I sat forward in my character with my elbow on my desk just waiting to see what was going to happen.. There is so little talking in this movie that it plays like a silent film and uses the characters and land to show the mood and feeling. The blue ray picture and sound was presented beautifully.

When watching the film I found myself hating the cop for what he had done but by the end of the movie I found myself on the cops side.  I loved the movie as a whole there was no part of it that I thought was boring or dragged. The forest sequences looked great on film.

Special Features are:
* Video interview with Spielmann
* The making of Revanche a half hour documentary shot on the set
* Foreign Land, Spielmann award-winning student short film, with introduction by the director
* U.S. Theatrical trailer

UFC 119 Thoughts

Okay so just a few things first before I get into the main card. Mark Hunt is fighting on the under card as the first fight of the night. Now I would love to see him on spike TV live or even on the main card! I am hoping he will win his fight. One more thing I hope that Joey Beltran knocks Matt Mitrione's ass the fuck out. I also hope Joe doerksen destroys CB. Anyways now that I got that out of the way on with the card!

Guillard will KO Stephens in the 2nd round (Can Guillard be getting a title shot soon?)

This is a hard fight both have KO power and Lytle has been amazing lately and has never been Ko'd tko's or subed (hes lost twice due to cut). So Lytle will beat Serra

I hate this match up because Lil Nog will lose to Bader. But I am going to Nog I don't know how or even think so but I can hope can't I?

Frank Mir vs. Mirko Filipović
Mir's size will be to much for cro cop to handle I think. lets just hope he doesn't get nutted 4 times. (Cro cop vs Overeem) I think Mir will Tko cro cop in the 1st.

Devil (2010)

I just wanted to quickly say what I think the ending might be! I don't like to say a movie is crap with out seeing it so I am not saying that. When I saw the last airbender trailer I said to myself and my brother that This trailer looks so good that this movie has to be crap and it was. I have yet to see it.

So my 1st guess is they are going to hell in a elevator.
my 2nd is that being in the tight space they go crazy
3rd and final THE ELEVATOR IS.....ALIVE DUH DUH DUUUUUH!!!!!!!

ya I really think its the 3rd one. Now after the wind being the killer can't you see a angry elevator that wants blood because I can. Now I have not gone to the movie theater since Friday the 13th remake and If it was a killer Elevator I think I would HAVE to go.

The thing that makes no sense if its not like this once was a solid wall that this one day a magical elevator appeared without anyone knowing and then some people get in and they die. So why the hell is this happening all of the sudden? shouldn't people be getting stuck in that elevator since it was? I just find it funny how these people piss Mr.Elevator off so much that hes wanting blood. I just have so many unanswered question that I am sure I will get half assed answers.

oh oh Maybe the Elevator sees dead people and so the people in the elevator are all ready dead....Spooky!!!

Assassin Creed

Now I have finished this game before but I had missed 3 achievements which are. All the Templar's, all the scene glitches and talking the Lucy. So I played it again. I forgot how much this game pisses me off. Its a great game but when I am trying to run away from the guards the game doesn't always do what I want it to do for example. I was being chased and so I went to on of the hide outs on the roofs so I jump on to the ledge to leap behind the sheet but all of a sudden I leap to the other side and now I am in red again so I jump down and start running again. I go to the ground turn yellow find a bench and I use it to jump over a fence I turn red again. This happened not often but when It did I yelled at my TV in anger. Now I don't know if its just me but that boat part where your jumping from boat to boat really shows how shitty the 360's joy stick is I think I am pointing it straight but nope I am NE direction so my character kills himself.

All of that aside this game is solid and really fun I have beaten it twice which I can't say I do often. I HATE the end it is the biggest piece of shit ever! Here's the ending THERE IS NO ENDING! ya that's right its the same crap that's a the start. you get out of the machine walk into you room look at the wall end!.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

I played Star Wars the force unleashed the other day and for what it is it wasn't bad. When you make a game where you can break pretty much everything it is really hard to have those broken objects not glitching. On the first level the part where you are using the wings as lifts to get up to the higher platform, I have seen the bridge here flipping upward kill everyone on it. Now I was listen to podcast at the time of playing this game so I had it muted which if you play this game muted it will make no sense what so ever. The powers are fun to use and most of the achievements are easy. All I have to do it the hardest difficulty and I can't I must really suck because I get killed in seconds. I ran through it collecting all the holo things and beat it in a afternoon. Its not bad its just nothing that stands out.

Fallout 3

So I played fallout 3 the other day because I have been in a mood to try and 100% achievements on my 360. Meaning that all of the achievements for this game are offline I am able to get them. Now I had played fallout early and never really liked it. I always thought it was stupid how the whole V.A.T.S thing worked. Its like they made it blood splattering so people forgot that it is auto aim. I actually played the whole game with out the vats just because I didn't like them. If I had used them I would have felt like I was taking the easy way out. I found the main story line to be really short and underwhelming for the "hype" this game has. I also had all the dlc so I played all that as well.

Out of all the DLC I found Mother ship to be the best. I loved how it looked and it felt like I was playing a 60's space movie. Moria's wasteland survival Guide quest line was the best part of the none dlc game. So as you can tell the characters that ended up being a little crazy (Moria and the little girl) really sold me on the game. With out those two characters this game to me would have been a chore. The sound effects are great and I like the way the world and characters looked.

Now for the bad this game is glitched as hell which is weird because my brother played the same disc and he said he never had any problems. As for me it froze every 2 hours which was really pissing me off towards the end. Also sometimes when I would look at the pit boy it was like someone was shining a light on it. There was one time when one the the bad guys walked through a wall. Just like mother ship was my favorite Broken Steel was my least followed closely by Point look out. The main story line was really lacking in any emotional feel for me. I didn't care what happened to the world of fallout, once your father dies there is no one else that you are connected to. I love that you can build weapons but 9! that's just stupid whats that point of putting in make able weapons when you are only going to put in 9.

I guess I will be playing new Vegas but I will not be buying it my brother has it pre ordered so when hes done with it I might check it out. I have heard that there is more weapons to be made in it and that the aiming system is apparently better as in FPS style but we will see. As of now I have 100% achievements for Fallout 3.

dvd run down

So there's some movies that I have gotten a while ago but for some reason haven't written anything about.

To start off I got Vanishing point a while ago, has to be over a month now. I found this movie to be rather enjoyable. It is a story about Kowalski who is transporting a car from Denver to San Francisco. He gets stoned from time to time and through most of the movie he is being chased by cops. shortly into the movie you get the feeling he really doesn't give a crap if he makes it or not. The music is great and Kowalski ends up talking to a magical guy through the radio. The radio DJ tell him the polices locations and where not to go. If you like just straight up joy rides check this movie out. For a 105min film I doubt Kowalski is even out of the car for more then 30mins during the film.

Now I watched this movie about 3 days ago. I was shocked to find this movie at future shop. They also have James Cameron's Piranha 2 but I didn't pick it up yet. I wanted to watch this movie because I think that you should always watch the original film before watching the remake. So with that you can tell that this film was made over 30 years ago. There are some plot holes and dumb scenes. When the piranhas attack it's pretty lack luster. Most of the attacks are what looks like a hunk of meat being attacked. My DVD is the Roger Corman version and has a wicked cover of a chick in a red swimsuit trying to reach the surface of the water while Piranhas try to eat her, It came with both covers. If you like old school horror films which I do check this movie out its rather enjoyable.

I also got the Ring on DVD which the film is not bad. But the main thing is that I found the sound effects like jump scare sounds are louder then them talking which I HATE! Reason is I turn it up to hear what the hell is going on and then they close a door and I jump 5 feet into the air screaming like a girl. Was the door scary no not really, which then makes all the other scares or jump scares meaningless. So I couldn't really enjoy the movie because of random sounds that kept exploding my sound system. The movie is about a women watching a tape and then getting a call telling her she will die in 7 days.

So when this movie came out I wanted to watch it because I thought the cover looked cool. A while latter I learned that this movie was dumb as hell also I watched a tiny bit of it on TV but something better came on so I never watched all of it. So I found it for really cheep I think $4 and wanted to see for myself and... ya this movie is crap. You end up not caring for anyone in this movie. There was only one person that I wanted to live and that was Thomas Jane because I liked him in punisher. I thought the part where all the animals are running to be cool not knowing what I was about to see. But when that worm thing showed up I thought okay this can be okay and then it just feel off a cliff...right when I saw the alien I thought really...that's it I was expecting a thing ripe off.

Back in the day horror films actually went for atmosphere rather then just having the sound that is so loud it makes you jump do all the work. I tend to look at films like TCM, Halloween, even Friday the 13th. Now I am not saying all jump scares are bad but a cat meowing shouldn't scare anyone or a dog barking. One thing that pissed me off about the new Friday the 13th remake was the dog scene. When the main character is standing at the door seeing if anyone is there all of a sudden a dog barks and attacks the door. So what the main character didn't hear the pissed of dog coming at him till he was already attacking the door?

I will say that everyone should check out Guillermo Del Toro don't be afraid of the dark movie it is looking really good (watch the trailer). Also make sure you keep tabs on Frankenstein which is another movie hes working on.

Chungking Express #453

So something last week I watched Chungking Express which is about two different stories around love and relationships. The tends to not give anyone a real name actually it seems they only gave the women names like May and Faye. The main characters are Cop 223 and may in story 1 and Cop 663 and Faye in story two.

The first story is about a cop called cop 223 and his girlfriend May who broke up with him on April 1st. Thinking at first it was a joke which he realizes it wasn't. He ends up buying a can of pineapple everyday with the expiration date on each can being May 1st his birthday. In the end he will either be rejoined with his love or that his relationship will have expired forever. While that is going on the story also follows a blond women that is trying to make her way in the drug world.

The second story which is my favorite and seems to be the main story. Follows Cop 663 who is also dealing with a breakup, this time with a flight attendant. On his lunch break he eats at a local snack bar where we met Faye who secretly falls for him. On cop 663's day off his Ex shows up at the snack bar wanting to give him a letter. Cop 663 not being there she gives the letter to the snack bar asking they give it to cop 663. Inside the letter Faye finds a set of keys to his apartment which leads to her breaking in to redecorate and "improve" his living situation.

When I went into watching this movie I forgot is was a Criterion film and was shocked for a split second that I had to read, missing the first few lines. I liked the first story even though I felt that it was there just to pad the movie out for the second story. making the movie 102mins long.

I really liked the second story though and would suggest watching this movie just for that story alone. Faye played by Faye Wong (I wonder if the same name is for a reason) who is just outstanding. You can't help but want them to get together. I found the parts where Faye is in cop 663's apartment to be outstanding. I found it so enjoyable seeing her try to make his life better. This music in this movie is great. I would actually buy the soundtrack to this movie and I tend to not like buying movie soundtracks. Faye Wong's cover of the song Dreams is just beautiful and addictive.

The special features are as follows:
*Commentary with Asian cinema critic Tony Rayns
*1996 episode of the British television series moving pictures featuring interviews with Wong and cinematographer Christopher Doyle
*U.S. theatrical trailer
*PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Amy Taubin. Which the book is 6 pages.

There I finally wrote this now it is time to watch... REVANCHE!

So this was the card:
Lightweight Championship Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn
MMA Vs Boxing Randy Couture vs. James Toney
Demian Maia vs. Mario Miranda
Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard
Nate Diaz vs. Marcus Davis

and this is what happened:
1) I thought Joe Lauzon will beat Gabe Ruediger via sub in the 2nd and
Lauzon defeated Ruediger via submission (armbar) at 2:01 of round 1.

2)I think Nate Diaz will beat Marcus Davis via sub in the 2nd and
Diaz defeated Davis via technical submission (guillotine choke) at 4:02 of round 3.

3Kenny Florian with beat Gray Maynard via tko ill go with the 1st and
Maynard defeated Florian via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).

4)Demian Maia will sub Mario Miranda in the 1st and
Maia defeated Miranda via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).

5) This one is hard because I really want to go with the long shot but I really think the Courture will be able to close the distance and take Toney down for a lame ass Tko finish do to James taking to many punches. If Toney  KO's Randy that will be devastating. I just want to watch Toneys post fight interview with Rogan. So I guess ill say Randy Courture will beat James Toney via tko in the 1st. and
Couture defeated Toney via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:19 of round 1.

6) I think Bj Penn will get his title back via sub in round 4. I like Edgar as well but I just think he will be getting a mad Penn. A Penn that feels like he needs to prove that Edgar shouldn't have won the 1st fight so we will see.and
Edgar defeated Penn via unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45).

I would like to note that I did not like this card. The Joe Lauson fight was great, Nate Diaz fight was great only thing is the ref sucked. The KFlo fight was crap and boring, and the Randy fight was stupid he even got his black belt for subing a guy with no skill on the ground good job subing a guy that didn't know how to even tap...and the Bj Penn fight was boring as hell when there is no drama in a fight it is boring and after the 1st round I knew Edgar was going to win and so the last 4 round ended up just being him peppering penn with punches. So ya this figh card looked good but the night was just lame.

If Toney  KO's Randy that will be devastating. I just want to watch Toneys post fight interview with Rogan. So I guess ill say Randy Courture will beat James Toney via tko in the 1st.
6) I think Bj Penn will get his title back via sub in round 4. I like Edgar as well but I just think he will be getting a mad Penn. A Penn that feels like he needs to prove that Edgar shouldn't have won the 1st fight so we will see.

Naked Lunch #220

So I watched Naked Lunch last night and wow I beat even if you heard things about this movie you could still not prepare yourself for it. I loved the bugs and special effects and the costumes. The music is rather nice to listen to which is weird for this movie. I thought that the music would try to make you uncomfortable but the film does that fine without needing to. I really like Peter Weller as the character Bill Lee. I found the story to be really hard to follow though. I loved the starting and the end but I got lost in the middle.Roy Scheider Is really entertaining in this film, loved every scene he was in.

I really like David Cronenberg as a Director and this movie is well made but and this is the reason why I don't know if I like this film or not but its really depressing. Nothing nice of joyful happens in this film and so its hard to watch. From what I know Peter Weller gets high off of second hand smoke from the bug powder. So he sees a bug and it tall him (FYI this is the talking ass part) that hes a secret agent and his mission is to kill his wife. From here the movie just starts to go he ends up tripping like crazy for the rest of the movie. He thinks that his typewriter is a bug at time and a early scene show him showing his friend what he thinks is a plane ticket but his friend just sees a tube of bug poison.

Disc one:
*Audio commentary featuring Cronenberg and actor Peter Weller
Disc two:
*Naked Making Lunch, a London Weekend Television documentary about the making of the film
*Illustrated essay about the special effect in Naked Lunch by Jody Duncan, editor of Cinefex magazine, featuring artifacts from Cronenberg's archive
*Film stills gallery
*A collection of original marketing materials
*William S. Burroughs audio recording of excerpts from Naked Lunch
*A collection of archival stills of William S. Burroughs from The Allen Ginsberg Trust
*32-page booklet featuring essays by film critic Janet Maslin, Chris Rodley, Gary Indiana, and a piece by William S. Burroughs

Walkabout #10

So last night I watched another one of the Criterion's I got. I enjoyed this film not one of my favorites though. I just didn't fully understand it. Going in I thought this was a kids adventure film which looking back on the film I feel stupid now. The movie starts off with the two kids (older sisters and a little boy) walking home then they are in a car driving into the middle of no where to have a picnic. When they stop the little boy gets out and runs around playing with his toys, the sister sets up the picnic. Out of no where you hear a shot fired camera shows you that its the father trying to kill his daughter and his son. The two kids fun and hide behind a rock and that father grabs a gas can lights the car on fire and shoots himself in the head. From there the two of them venture into the wilderness. Now I have no idea why the father tried to kill them and why they run off and not just stick to the road they came on?

Latter on they show a research team with a group of guys and one women and they are all swarming over the one women showing that they only have one thought on there mind. I am not sure what it is trying to show but I am sure it is showing what we think are "savages" are actually in fact not and the research team are the savages looking at the one women as a object.

It's hard to talk about this film I found because there isn't much talking in this film. it just shows there adventure and they really don't do much. Other then that I don't know what to say. Thinking back on the movie I am actually surprised by how little amount of stuff that actually goes on during the movie. truthfully I had to go to wikipedia to read the plot on a few parts like the starting because I thought I had missed something.

On Blu-Ray this film has a really clean picture, there are some really grainy shots like when the hunters shot the animals but other then that the long distance shots of the sand hills are really nice. On the back of the DVD they mention that silent films aren't dead and that this film proves that. So if that sounds interesting to you check this film out. I would actually say having not seen a silent film fully yet that this would be a good film to work your way into the silent film genre.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas #175

First off I have to say that this Criterion DVD has to be my favorite DVD cover/ slipcover design that I own so far in the collection. I also have to say the trailer for this movie is outstanding. It really shows that making a good trailer is huge for a movie. The trailer is what made me pick this movie over any other criterion. Now for the movie it's self, I love this movie and I had never seen it before last night. I really liked Johnny Depp in this movie and Benicio Del Toro who I also really like. I watched Brazil (another Terry Gilliam film) a while ago and didn't really care for it to much way to strange for me (I want to watch it over again). I was always worried this would be the same but Depp and Del Toro performances in this movie just makes you love this movie. The only thing I am mad about is that I never saw this movie earlier. It was put out in 1998 and its taken 12 years to watch it. This is going to be one of my favorite movies I have seen so far. It was just a blast to watch and I will be watching it again this week.

Watching this movie I keep thinking that there was going to be a drug over dose scene or something that would get really depressing but it never did to me. I never thought I would love this film as much as I do. I was scared that I wasn't going to like it. I actually like this film so much I might get the bluray version as well but only if the picture is worth it.

One thing I found which just made me love this movie even more is towards the end when Johnny Depp is in the hotel trying to figure what happened last night. He enters the bedroom with the hole in the bed and if you look at the door there is a black and white picture of Che Guevara which is a character  Benicio Del Toro played in the movie CHE which came out in 2008.

On the DVD you get
Disc one:
*Three commentary tracks by Terry Gilliam, Depp and Del Toro, producer Laila Nabulsi and author Hunter S. Thompson
*Deleted Scenes with commentary by Terry Gilliam
Disc two:
*Collection of storyboards and production designs
*Stills gallery
*A selection of Hunter S. Thompson correspondence, Read on camera by Johnny Depp
*Hunter Goes to Hollywood, a short documentary video by filmmaker Wayne Ewing
*A look at the controversy over the screenwriting credit
*Trailers
*Rare materials on Oscar Zeta Acosta, the inspiration for Dr. Gonzo
*Collection of original artwork by illustrator Ralph Steadman
*Excerpt from 1996 Fear and Loathing audio CD with Maury Chaykin, Jim Jarmusch, and Harry Deam Stanton
*Fear and loathing on the road to Hollywood: A 1978 BBC documentary with Thompson and Steadman
*Plus: A booklet Featuring an essay by critic J.Hoberman and two pieces by Thompson

If you are wanting to buy this movie get this DVD version of the film. It comes with a wicked DVD case, tons of special features (three commentary tracks) and its a criterion film. Plus the picture and audio is top notch.

WEC 50: Cruz vs. Benavidez 2 Thoughts

I would like to say that I don't watch WEC I don't really have a reason its just not my choice to mma shows to watch. So I don't know much about these fighters and so I am pretty much guessing who is going to win, even though its all ways guessing. But anyways this is from looking at there records and seeing how they have won and how they have lost. So with that let begin.

StrikeForce: Houston Thoughts

          VS






         King Mo Lawal                                                                  Rafael Cavalcante

The card is as follows
Muhammed Lawal (c) vs. Rafael Cavalcante (Light Heavyweight Championship)
Ronaldo Souza vs. Tim Kennedy (Middleweight Championship)
KJ Noons vs. Jorge Gurgel
Bobby Lashley vs. Chad Griggs

 Now I thought there was going to be a 8 man tournament for the Middleweight title but I guess not. Also I do not think I will be able to watch this show because I believe its on my Super channel which I do not have. But I will post the results even if I don't watch it. So who do I want to win?

1) I am a fan of Bobby Lashley I used to watch him on Raw and so with that I am picking Lashley with a Kimura or maybe a tko. I don't even know who Chad Griggs is so I could end up being surprised

2) I am picking KJ Noons to a 3 round decision over Jorge Gurgel.

3) So with both of them having most of there wins coming from submissions I would think it would be a tko or decision and with that I am picking Ronaldo Souza with a 5th Decision over Tim Kennedy.

4)I am going with Muhammed Lawal in this fight vs. Rafael Cavalcante and the outcome from looking at the pictures will be a ko of some kind. The thing to note is that Rafael Cavalcante has not been to a Decision yet and the one time he got to the 3rd round he got DQ for an Illegal kick.

I just looked at Strike Force 28 Oct 9th and apparently the Middleweight tournament is now for the number one contender because I guess having someone able to lose the title sells more? What ever its strike force they don't have to make sense have Fedor fight Overeem.

Saints Row 2 Review

Now to start things off I have played the first one and this is my second time playing the second one. I have to say that these games are not hard but they are fun to really get the feeling that you own this town which is the point of the game. The story in the first game is that you are a new gang member and you are trying to take of the town. In the second your gang has fallen apart and other gangs have taken over and the town has forgotten who the saints are. So your goal is to take back your town and make the city remember you. Before I even started the game I beat all the side missions and then started and ran through the game in under a day.  I liked using the duel pistols and smg's and mostly drove cars. I had a hard time flying the planes from time to time.

One thing I have to point out is this game glitches a lot and I don't mean like once a week I mean save every time you do something because it might feel like stopping. But I will say this time I played it, it wasn't so bad there was maybe 2-3 times it froze and then there was a time I got shot up into the sky and hit the invisible wall in the sky that made me fall back to earth. (it seems common in sand box games to have this glitch it happened to my brother in crackdown 2) While driving stuff that should stop you car from going do and something stop them to the point of them flipping. Sidewalks would sometimes crash my motorcycle while other times would be fine. Planes would hit buildings and bounce off while other times would stick to it like glue and then explode.  I remember in the first one when my car vanished while I was driving it making me have to restart the game.

Anyways I know that seems like this game is broken but trust me even if these do happen to you this game is still a blast and I would tell any sandbox fan to seriously check this game out its like a old school Grand Theft Auto.

Clash of the Titans (1981) Review

So I had never watched but heard a lot about this movie Clash of the Titans and so I wanted to finally watch it before watching the remake. For me I have to watch the original before even thinking of watching the remake. I was going to get it on Blu-Ray but it was more then I felt like spending so I picked up the new release of the standard DVD version for six dollars. I have to say it was a alright film. The big thing for me was the special effects done by the master himself Ray Harryhausen which are outstanding. The funny thing is I always thought this film was older then it really is. The Ray Harryhausen footage is really dated in that its really dark a scratched. I would love to see maybe a Ray Harryhausen Criterion Box set I think it would be amazing. I know if they did I would be buying it right away. For special features there is a cast thing where it shows the other movies they have been in. A Conversation with Ray Harryhausen, Map of Myths and Monsters and a Theatrical trailer. The audio was kinda annoying the talking was really hard to hear and so I would turn it up but the sound effects would end up being way to loud to the point where a women screaming scared the shit out of me. My favorite animation had to be the Kraken that thing was bad ass or the Medusa's snake hair. Either way for six dollars you can not go wrong with Clash of the Titans (1981) Now time to watch the remake.

The special feature of the actors and there other work even though it shows a list of people you can only click on Harry Hamlin (Perseus) Laurence Olivier (Zeus) and Ray Harryhausen (Special effects) which sucks I wanted to click on Ursula Andress (Aphrodite) or Judi Bowker (Andromeda) but I guess that is what IMDB is for.

The Conversation with Ray Harryhausen was a good extra but I would like to watch him making a scene. I heard there's something like that in Jason and the Argonauts.

The Map of Myths and Monsters is a two minute kinda like fun fact on each effects character.

I almost forgot the music in the movie is wonder full

The Wages of Fear Criterion #36

So last night I finally watched The Wages of Fear and It was a really good movie. The movie is about 4 guys driving two trucks filled with nitroglycerin that can explode at anytime for $2000 which at the time is a ton of money. It's presented in 1.33:1 aspect ratio which when I was going to watch it I didn't realize that. Also there is a lot of scratches and damage to the film so I don't know if the Blu-ray version is worth it. Other then that thought this film was really good. The DVD cover is kind of a spoiler because that is a picture of the end of the movie. I like the characters in the film and there relationships with each other. The humor in the film was really good . One thing that shocked me was how the "hero" treated that women like a object in the movie which I am not used to. My favorite part of the movie was the rock scene I thought that was very good.

Spoiler:
Now for the ending of the film I thought that him having the nitroglycerin in the truck he had to watch the road and ever bump in it to make sure he didn't die and so at the end he didn't pay attention to anything and it ended up costing him. I might be over thinking it but I think the ending means that even if there's nothing in front of you, you should all ways look where your going

UFC 117 Results

To start off Thiago Silva was hurt during his training camp and could not fight on the card.

1) I wanted Roy Nelson to win and Junior dos Santos won via 3rd round decision and he now gets to fight for the title after Cain fights Brock.

2) I guessed Matt Hughes would win and wow he won via wicked sub that was shocking. Matt won't die.

3) I picked Clay Guida to win and and he won via sub (broken jaw)

4) I picked Jon Fitch to win and Fitch won via 3rd round decision. Even tho everyone was booing at one point it was a good enjoyable fight. I wanted Fitch to win because I don't think thiago should get another title fight.

5) I knew Anderson Silva would win and the thing I am looking at is if it will be a boring fight because once again they are making him fight a guy that only wants to do one thing take him down. The outcome of the fight is Anderson Silva sub Chale in the 5th round. One thing I will say is that this was a hard fight to watch and its not the fact that I am a fan of his but watching a pound for pound fighter getting owned was hard. I have never yelled at the end of a fight and at the end of this I was on my feet screaming so outstanding. I thought it was going to be another decision. Hats off to Chale for a outstanding show I just didn't like the trash talk but he all most backed it up.

On a side note I am not sure but I think Anderson Silva walked out with Steven Seagal but not 100% on that. If it was thats wicked.

UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko results

Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Mark Muñoz vs. Yushin Okami
John Howard vs. Jake Ellenberger
Tyson Griffin vs. Takanori Gomi

1)  Now I wanted Takanori Gomi to win but I thought Griffin would win with wrestle but Takanori Gomi Knocked out Tyson Griffin in the frist. This started the night off great I really love that Gomi won and by KO at 1:04 in the frist. I was thinking he was going to be another one of the great fighters that couldn't make it in UFC but maybe he can. Could Gomi be the Lightweight Champion?

2) Now I went with a guess and picked Jake Ellenberger beating John Howard with a 3 round decision and it's not over yet but it's getting really close. Its Ellenberger 2 rounds and its going into the 3rd. Hopefully Ellenberger to win. It ended with a doctor stoppage. His eye was closed and couldn't see. So Jake Ellenberger win in the 3rd due to doctor stoppage. 2:21 in the 3rd when stopped.

3) Yushin Okami I thought would defeat Mark Muñoz with a 3 round decision. If Yushin Okami doesn't win the 3rd round decision I will be shocked. It should be 29-28 10-9 9-10 10-9 Yushin Okami. The winner is by split decision Yushin Okami thank god it was okami but you kidding me I am so fed up with this wrestling shit he had one fucking takedown in the frist won the 2nd and did nothing in the 3 how can that be a split I hate takedowns.

4) I wanted Vladimir Matyushenko to win but I thought that Jon Jones would tko him in the 2nd. Jon jones tko Vlad with a crucifix in the 1st

So with that I got the frist one wrong and that's all so I got 3/4. But I did want gomi to win so to me I got the outcomes I wanted. I really like Jon jones and can wait till he fights someone like Tito or randy or someone that's up there.

Dvds that are on there way.

Due to the 50% sale on Criterion dvds I had to pick up at least one so I finally had the money to order some dvds. The funny thing is my list at the start of this month was completely different then the list I ordered. I ended up getting the dvds I had kept taking off of my list in the past and then two that I had seen the trailers and thought they looked good. I am trying to get a bluray with each order and this time I got two.

Chungking Express Blu-ray Spine #453
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (this is the one I kept taking off the list) Spine #175
Naked Lunch (This is another I kept taking off as well) Spine #220
Walkabout Blu-ray Spine #10

I do not know anything about any of the films other than the trailers for each film and that Naked Lunch and Fear and Loathing are really strange. Side note I would have to say that the Naked Lunch trailer has to be one of my favorites.

UFC 117 Thoughts

To start off I want Thiago Silva to win his fight because I really don't want to see him get cut. Now for the card it is.
Anderson Silva vs Chael Sonnen
Jon Fitch vs. Thiago Alves
Clay Guida vs. Rafael dos Anjos
Matt Hughes vs. Ricardo Almeida
Roy Nelson vs. Junior dos Santos
and heres how I think things will go down. start from the frist fight of the night.

1) I am still not a fan of dos Santos just because they keep giving him no challenging fights. I wanted to see dos Santos Vs Cain Velasquez for the number one spot but nope instead he will fight Roy Nelson. So with that I am picking Roy Nelson by Kimbo Slice style meaning Roy will take him down and control the fight.
2) Now this fight for me is really hard to call so I will flip a coin. Matt Hughes by Decision
3) Now I am not a fan of Clay's but he can really fight a war and so with that I am going with him by a Decision
4) I see Fitch wining but by a Decision I don't think Alves can out wrestle Fitch and that's where this fight will be.
5) I would love for the middleweight division to be explained to me. With Maia coming off of a one fight win streak and now Chael is fighting him it makes no sense. I am not saying Chael can't pull off a Matt Serra fight but he doesn't deserve the title fight to begin with. Think of it this way Jon Fitch has a 4 fight win streak and has only lost once in the 13 fights he's had in the UFC and yet he doesn't get another title shot. Chael is coming off of a 3 fight win streak all due to a 3rd round Decision. I think all Chael can do is talk crap. I don't think we have even seen the Anderson that wants to kill yet. UFC really needs to stop putting Anderson up against guys that can only do one thing. Anderson will win either in the frist 2 rounds or welcome to another boring ass fight crowd prepare to BOO..

Side note I HATE it when the audience starts to fucking boo we are watching the fight as well and not only are we board as hell but now we have annoying assholes that wont shut the hell up. If you don't like a fight STFU and leave!

UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko Thoughts

So UFC Live airs live on Augs 1st and These are my thoughts on who will win.
Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Mark Muñoz vs. Yushin Okami
John Howard vs. Jake Ellenberger
Tyson Griffin vs. Takanori Gomi

I want Vladimir Matyushenko to win but I think Jon Jones will TKO him maybe the 2nd.
Yushin Okami will beat Mark Muñoz in a 3 round decision
I going to take a shoot and say Jake Ellenberger over John Howard Via 3 round decision
Now I really want Takanori Gomi to win but I know Tyson Griffin will win a 3 round decision or TKO.

Hunger Criterion #504

So on Wednesday I got Hunger in the mail. It was directed by Steve McQueen. In Northern Ireland's Maze prison in 1981, twenty-seven-year-old irish Republican Army member Bobby Sands went on a hunger strike to protest the British government's refusal to recognize him and his fellow IRA inmates as political prisoners. It premiered  in 2008 at the Cannes Film Festival wining Steve McQueen the prestigious Caméra d'Or award.

I bought the film on Blu-ray because I wanted to see the amount of detail that Steve McQueen put into his frist movie and It was outstanding. Other then the 18 minute still shoot there is maybe 5 minutes of talking. He uses the camera to show whats going on rather than explaining it. I really like how the prison looks on the inside.This movie is pretty brutal if you have a weak stomach or don't like violence, That's this whole story. Now this film set a record for the longest uncut still frame shot in a mainstream movie. The length is 18 minutes long which I didn't find boring but I found it hard to understand what they where talking about, they talked really fast I recommend subtitles for the scene.

Over all this film was really powerful. The 18 minute scene comes out of no where but the film is still great. The sound is powerful. There is a part where all the guards are banging their shields and then bringing the criminals out and beating them and just the sound in that scene really puts you in that hallway. For a criterion film there is no commentary track on the disc which is a huge let down. But there is an interview with McQueen and Michael Fassbender (who plays Bobby Sands). Also a BBC program on the prison and a short documentary on the making of Hunger + a booklet with a 5 page essay.

Crackdown 2 Review

My brother rented Crackdown 2 on sunday and so I got to play it and I really enjoyed it. I played the frist one which was a surprise hit for me because I only bought it to get the halo 3 beta on it. Actually when they showed it at E3 I thought it would be horrible the art style just looked bad to me at the time. Anyways Crackdown (the frist one) is my favorite sandbox game reason is because the collectables are rewarding, I want to get all the orbs where as in other games they are there just for padding. I always tend to run around and jump rather than drive I just find being "Hulk" is a lot more enjoyable than to drive.

Now for Crackdown 2 they added some new stuff like when you max out one of your stats you can get cool moves. For example if you get level 5 agility you get wings so that you can glide. Also for level 5 toughness you can jump up hold B and smash the ground with your fist. In my game I have all max stats and level 4 driving so I don't know if you get something wicked for level 5 driving. The gameplay is awesome pretty much the same as the frist. In this one you are fighting Cell and "zombies" they call them freaks. Now for the new modes of play there are Freak breaches which you can only do at night where you just have to close a hole by killing X amount of freaks. There are also Cell strong holds where you have to kill X amount of Cell troops to capture the location. There are secret orbs and agility orbs, stunts, flying "stunts", and audio diaries where you learn a little about cell, the freaks and a rouge agent.

Now for what I am not a huge fan of the story. In the frist one you are out there to kill a bunch of gang leaders to take back your city. In this one after a virus breaks out and disables agency tower your task is to activate all the beacons. Which means no cool boss character pictures or cool story on why you are killing them. You are really just running around clearing maybe 5 bad guys and standing on a pad, 30 seconds latter move to the next. It's really a huge let down. Towards the end of the game I actually thought that after I got agency tower working I would wipe out cell but no luck.

I have had some glitches happen and so has my brother. I got stuck under a floating device and to fix it the game spat me out side it which was nice. Now this was funny my brother was fighting some freaks at the very start of the game and I think maybe two freaks explode on both sides of him or something. Anyways all we saw was an explosion and then the agent shot up thousands of feet into the air way above any other building (it sky rocketed upward for about 15-20 seconds and then what goes up must come down luckily he could move himself into the water to live.

So that game is awesome but the story is really lacking it doesn't stand out from all the rest of the games missions. There are no little mini videos or any of that from the frist But there's a third one coming out so fingers crossed.

What I got in the mail 21\07\2010

Today I got my copies of The Wages of Fear Spine #36 on blu-ray and Hunger Spine # 504 on blu-ray. Now I have not seen either of these movies and no nothing other than they are apparently really great films so I can not wait to watch them. I will be watching Hunger tonight so I am looking forward to it.

Thinking back on Silent Hill Home coming

Thinking back on that game I found it really fun. I am really wanting to play the other ones. I am thinking right now I am liking the silent hill series more than resident evil. I did finish it in 3 days (10-12 hrs). I ended up running past the bad guys because they are just a waste of ammo. It was tense for me at parts when I had no life or ammo and had to fight some bad guys. I was not really in the mood to play it on day 3 but after an hour I really got sucked into it and wanted to finish it. The achievements for the 360 are really easy to the point where you just need to kill one of each bad guy. there is some more like collect all the drawings and other collectables (thank you to which ever game created those).

Movies I have seen In the part few days

So I watch Grown ups and Funny people and I actually liked Grown ups more than funny people but that is not saying much. They are pretty much just stand up with a storyline...well not so much for grown ups.

Grown ups:
This movies huge thing is "you look like blank". If you like those jokes then this movie is for you. The weird thing is I didn't find what they said to be funny. What I like was the bow and arrow part and the water park other than that it was barely a comedy. It really felt like they where roasting each other. So heres all the jokes.
Kevin James is fat BURN
Adam Sandler is rich BURN
Rob Schneider is ugly and has 2 hot daughters and an ugly one
Chris Rock's wife's mom hates him
David Spade is uh David Spade.
If I was to watch it again at least I can stare at Salma Hayek when she is on-screen.

Funny people:
This movie was just not funny. Having the trailer show that he lives ruined the point of this movie. Having him sick knowing he ends up being fine then its pointless. I didn't laugh during this movie and the storyline wasn't that good, what little there is ends up being ruined in the trailer. Had I not known he lived or died then maybe it would have been better. All the funniest parts are in the trailer so watch that instead.

I also watched Super Size me which was really good. I found it funny and entertaining. I also watch Morgan Spurlock's Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? which also was funny and entertaining. I like how he doesn't really seem to take a side on something. In Super Size Me he eats fast food for 30 days and shows you what it does however extreme it is. In Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? he isn't really looking for Bin Laden as much as he's trying to show you there's no point someone else will take his spot and use his capture as power to raise more people.

There are some more I have watched I just don't recall them at this time.

Dvd update 13/07/2010

So today I bought Who Framed Roger Rabbit Which I had seen when I was a kid most likely more than ten years ago so I am really looking forward to watching again. When I frist watch it I loved the film even tho the end bad guy scared the crap out of me he was so crazy and freaky.

I also order two more criterions. I ordered
Hunger (2008)(Blu-ray) Directed by Steve McQueen (no not that Steve McQueen).
Wages of Fear, The (1953)(Blu-ray) Directed by Henri-Georges Clouzot

And there is a Barnes & Noble sale right now for 50% off on criterion so I might be picking some more up shortly.

Games I got pt2

So I got a call yesterday (Friday) saying that a game I had put on my wish list had been traded in. So today I get time to go down and pick it up for $8. The game I got is Resident Evil for the PlayStation which is a wicked find. Over the phone I thought he said it was for the PlayStation 2 which made no sense what so ever. The Gamecube one didn't have the live action footage in it so I am glad I got this one instead of the gamecube one. I might still pick up the other one but now I kinda want to get 2 and 3 for the PlayStation aswell.

UFC 116 thoughts

Brock Lesnar (c) vs Shane Carwin (ic)
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Chris Leben
Chris Lytle vs. Matt Brown
Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Stephan Bonnar
George Sotiropoulos vs. Kurt Pellegrino

I am going to pick the fighters I think are going to win and how. Frist up is.
George Sotiropoulos I think will beat Kurt Pellegrino with a 3 round decision.
Krzysztof Soszynski I think will beat Stephan Bonnar with a TKO or 3 round decision
Matt Brown I think will beat Chris Lytle with a TKO
Yoshihiro Akiyama I think will beat Chris Leben with a Submission.
And I think Shane Carwin will Knock out Brock Lesnar in the frist round. I will say 2:56 in the frist. That would be so sweet if tomorrow Brock Lesnar ended up getting KO'd in the frist.

I just see what he did to Frank Mir happening all over again. Brock will not stand with him and so with that if Brock can't get him down he is screwed. I think Shane has a great chance at beating Brock. The only way I see Brock Beating Shane is by doing the same thing he did to Frank Mir. Think about it all Shane has to do is land a punch.

Silent Hill Homecoming Day 3 + Fianl thoughts

I follow the path that leads to the doctor who likes to cut himself. ugh boss fight with no life or healing item. I die which sucks. after two try's I kill it. I get a founders key. I go to town hall being chased by everything. I find where the key needs to go I open it and head inside. I make my way through the tunnel and get to the graveyard. From there I make my way back to my house and head in side. I find the attic key so I go up stairs open the door and go to the attic. Might I add I hate slider puzzles! I ended up using a walk through to finish the puzzle I hate those type. Went to the other world and have to do some fun puzzles. Now I am heading to Silent Hill with a map I got.

In Silent Hill trying to make my way to the prison but I need to shut off the power to the gate. I make my way through the town and get to the building with the power. I go inside and solve the puzzle. I head back over to the prison. Inside I meet the cop and he helps me getting around the prison. I find my mom and you get two choices kill her or not kill her. you then find your lady friends mom which she runs away. My cop friend I belive is now dead. I see my brother and I chase after him, he runs into the church. Another puzzle and I learn that I really suck at puzzles. finished and behind the door..my father..hey look its pyramid head. I work my way and save elle. I also find my cop friend and tell them both to leave that I have some stuff to finish.

I find another puzzle and after way to long I realise how to do it. It ends up being really easy. I also do the puzzle on the door in three seconds after the floor one. I then enter the big room boss fight. Now I have so many healing items I made two mistake using two of the serum's with bad analog movements and still killed the boss. I got ending one.

The story is great I really liked it. I could have seen it going a few ways. I thought a jacob's ladder type story would have been wicked but the one they went with was still really good. I really liked the characters in the game and the setting. The graphics look great in the game and I really like the graphics for the other world. The sound effects are really good and I love the music for the silent hill series really puts me in the mood. my main problem is the mouths in the game, they look really bad and take me out of the game some what. Some of the stuff looks like Playstation 2 graphics like hands and mouths also the radio in the truck. But other than that a really great game with great atmosphere.

Top 10 games I can't wait for + others

Too start things off with there are some games that I have never played before and would like to try them. Or they just couldn't get in the top ten list so there here.
Star Wars: The Old Republic:
I am interested on how they do the missions and characters. I am also wondering if there will be anything in space like combat.
Shogun 2: Total War:
Now I have never played Shogun before but one of the people I watch on the net made this game sound wicked and so I would like to try it,
Postal 3:
I have never played any of the other ones in this series but I have heard things about them and would like to give this one a try.
Huxley: The Dystopia:
I have actually been watching this game for years now and I would like to see how it plays.
Thief 4:
Never played one in the series but have heard great things about them and so I would love to try it.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution:
Once again have never played a Deus Ex game before and so this one sound interesting.
Call of Duty: Black Ops:
I have played all of the call of duty's (not modern warfare 2) and I don't think I will be buying this one but I do want to try it.
Dead Rising 2:
I never was able to get any where in the frist but I would like to try the 2nd. I still love the frist one I just can't handle restarting over and over again.
I Am Alive:
Have no idea what this is I have only seen the trailer.

Now for the top 10 But frist the one that didn't make the list
11)Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days:
My brother and I played co-op on the frist one and had a blast. It was a really enjoyable game and so we will be going to again.

10)Saints Row 3:
Now I bought the frist one and played the 2nd one(I think) and so I would like to see what they do with the 3rd one. I really enjoy the side mission in the game and how badass the main character is. The game makes you really feel like a pimp or gangster.
9)Silent Hill 8:
I haven't heard anything about this game but I am really looking forward to it. I am playing home-coming and to me that game is creepy as hell. I am really wanting to see if they are going to really try to take the game to the next level.
8)DOOM 4:
Now the big one DOOM 4 I played DOOM 3 and didn't find it as scary as people said it was. Sure you open the door the guy jumps out it and attacks but then it happens over and over again. There was one part with an item container which scared the shit out of me. Really want to see what they do with the story for this game.
7)Crackdown 2:
When I frist saw crackdown's trailer and heard halo 3 beta was going to come with the game I thought the game was going to be horrible. I was actually not going to buy it till the halo beta was put on it. I can not wait for crackdown 2 I really want to see the new gang leaders, weapons, city, and see what if any new power ups.
6)Halo: Reach:
I really didn't want to put halo on the list but damn I really want to play it because of the space battles they looked awesome. I want to see the new story and the new weapons.
5)Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier:
Now when I heard that the main character could turn invisible I was not going to touch this game but that E3 demo sold me. The game look outstanding. I loved Ghost reason advance warfare one and two and now I can not wait for Future soldier.
4)Bionic Commando Rearmed 2:
Yes an arcade game shocking. Now the funny thing is I have owned Bionic Commando Rearmed since it was released on the arcade and had tried to play it a bunch of times. Every time I would swing fall and die or land and get shot and die. But a few days ago I played it again and it was a ton of fun. Can not wait for this game.
3)Portal 2:
I thought Portal to be one of the best games of 2007. The dialog was funny and the characters all seemed alive in the game. The puzzles are really creative and enjoyable to solve.
2)Dead Space 2:
I thought Dead Space was one of the best games of 2008 And I want to see if you play a new character or not. I am really wanting to see the new story of the game. Also I can't wait to see the weapons

And number one

1)Half-Life 2: Episode Three
Yes that's right Half-Life 2: Episode Three I am a huge fan of the half-life series which is the main reason I love FPS games. They are flawless games to me. With the end of Episode two I can not wait for Episode three of corse is Valve who we all know loves realse dates so I will not be holding my breath.
