Fate (PC)

Posted on by

Over the Christmas weekend, my brother introduced me to a old game called Fate. Somehow I have managed to miss this amazing game for all of these years. Oh well, that was during my WoW time, so I’m sure I missed a lot all together. ;) According to Wikipedia, Fate was originally released in May of 2005… so, if you are like me, we’ve overlooked this game for years! Good news, you can still pick it up and for about $20.00 online. Continue reading →

I Am Legend

Posted on by

Decided to go see I Am Legend today at the new IMAX Theater here in Knoxville. For those of you that don’t know, I Am Legend is based on a novel of the same name. There has also been two other movies baesed off the book. One with Vincent Price called “The Last Man on Earth” and the other with Charlton Heston called “The Omega Man“.

Personally I liked The Omega Man better than I Am Legend. I don’t know, the movie was good, but I just have a hard time with Will Smith playing anything other than some goofy character. I wish we had gotten more of the vampire/zombie killing scenes and less of scenes of him talking to the mannequins.

Live Free or Die Hard

Posted on by

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Live Free or Die Hard (aka Die Hard 4), and was very happy to see it available on Comcast OnDemand. For the fourth installment in the series, it rocked! I didn’t think Bruce had it left in him.

The only thing I didn’t like about the movie was the street jumper that they had playing the bad guy. I found him bouncing around all over the place to be a tad bit annoying, though I enjoyed his death! :p Could we have another Die Hard down the road? After watching this one, I think they could make it work. Though it does bring one question to mind, how many more bad days can John McClane have?

I was thinking about this during the movie. While I’ve never seen 24, I think it’d be cool to have a cross over Die Hard – 24 season. Have Jack and John trying to save the day. It could happen, Fox owns both.

Fantasy moment aside, I really liked Live Free or Die Hard. I think it is the best since the original.

The Simpsons Movie

Posted on by

Finally got around to watching The Simpsons Movie yesterday evening.

Now, I’ve never really been a huge fan of The Simpsons, in fact I didn’t start watching it until I got married, as it just happened she loves The Simpsons. Sure, they can be funny at times, but it is no Family Guy. So, what’d I think about the movie? It was ok, to me it felt a bit long and drawn out in places. The story was decent, but nothing spectacular.

It was basically everything that you’d expect from an episode of The Simpsons, except this ran for an hour longer. As for the “special features” on the DVD, I found them rather unexciting. Overall, I’d say the movie was a 3.5/5, I’m glad I didn’t go see it in the theater.
