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)

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.

Special Features:
*Introductory restoration demonstration with filmmaker Martin Scorsese
*Audio commentary by film historian Ian Christie, Featuring interviews with stars Marius Goring and Moira Shearer, cinematographer Jack Cardiff,  composer Brian Easdale, and 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
* A booklet featuring an essay by critic Armond White

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.
