We finally got a trailer I’ve been waiting for, a debut for Deadpool’s rival: Cable. The hardass Time Messiah himself and just from the two minutes of his debut we got, Josh Brolin seems to be the perfect fit. I was pumped to watch him kick ass and cracked up having Wade intervene as always. I’m glad to say so far it’s looking to be a superior sequel. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

30 Days of Night: Return to Barrow
We come to the third book of the 30 days of night series and arguably my favorite of the series I’ve read so far. We pick up with the town of Barrow, Alaska three years after the vampires attacked. Brian Kitka comes to the town with his young son to become the new sheriff and discover why his brother’s family really died. He soon discovers the legends of what happened in Barrow was real, and the vampires never left. They want revenge for not only the death of there kin but also to finally erase the knowledge of there existence. But Barrow won’t go down without a fight. The story is a good blend of gory action and a good plot. You don’t necessarily have to read the first two books to get the gist but I would recommend it just because the end reveal ties the story together into a nice little trilogy.
Special shout out to a special friend “Violet”, it’s her birthday today; thank you for the support. Thank you all out there supporting us and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
Solo Trailer review
When I heard Han Solo was getting his own spin-off movie, my eyes rolled. More Star Wars. The seesaw of my love/ hate relationship with Star Wars tittered towards hate once again after pulled weighed towards love again by the The Force Awakens . Though the small teaser we got during this year’s Superbowl looked promising, and Star Wars wasn’t a cinematic powerhouse, my statement still stands. I always wondered a bit about Han Solo but I don’t think he really needs a full length movie. In the end, I will give it the benefit of the doubt. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
A Quiet Place Trailer
So how did everyone enjoy the Superbowl? While trailers were a plenty, of all I saw on YouTube, it was this trailer that caught my attention most of all: a horror movie that looks to try something a little different. A family that has to live in total silence or some force will come and kill them, I assume. Granted, while IT was great and It comes at night were innovative and tried, we also got plenty of bullshit like Wish Upon and other simple crap. The only thing that worries me is apparently Michael Bay is a producer, such as he was for many a failed horror remakes throughout last decade. Not saying his name is a death sentence but still…don’t judge til you watch one. I’m really excited for this movie and I can’t wait. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
30 Days of Night: Dark Days
Soon is my birthday and I feel kind of nostalgic, that being said one of my first reviews was for 30 days of night . I’m a huge fan of the graphic novel and I’m in love with the art and just the idea of isolation with these damn vampires.
The second book picks up with Stella, one of the last survivors of the massacre at Barrow. She wrote a novel of her account of the vampires, and that has made her a target. Stella has made it her life’s goal to out the vampires with a small group of experts. On the outside, she is a strong badass but she does mourn Eben after he sacrificed himself to kill the head vampire of the group in Barrow. Well, this sacrifice comes at a price because the head vampire’s main squeeze just so happens to be really feared vampire royalty…think Eclipse if it was gory, and actually awesome.
I have to say I enjoy Dark Days more than the first. It is longer and there is much more character development as well as a healthy dose of action. I didn’t see the movie for it but I can say if you liked the first, it’s worth checking out, and I have to say the end is really well done. May the gaming gods bring you glory and enjoy the sun.
Batman and Robin
I’m not going to tell you this movies is good in the traditional way. In fact, if you aren’t younger than seven or you don’t like crappy movies, than don’t watch this. If you are drunk, or you enjoy shitty movies than this a must see.
So Batman and Robin go up against Mr. Freeze, a mutated cryo expert that wants to hold Gotham ransom to fund the research to save his frozen wife from a disease. Batman and Robin are at odds with each other, because Robin is impulsive and Batman is a control freak. Well besides Freeze, new seductive villainess Poison Ivy comes out with mind controlled droid of a dude named Bane. And Alfred’s dying and his niece Barbara is out to be with him. And…oh boy…
As a huge Batman fan, this movie is absolute ass. I mean if you try to look at it as reminiscent of the Adam West stuff, that will help a bit but all the puns will make you want to dive into a bottle of booze. Seriously, don’t drink to the puns in this movie- you will die of alcohol poisoning. I can’t think of one character I felt was actually done right. I do believe Schwarzenegger could have done alright as Mr Freeze if given a better script, but I don’t know anyone else that would agree with me. My most hated part of this is Uma Thurman as Poison Ivy- OMG she comes off as a plant fetish call girl hooker. Bane is offensively bad. George Clooney is hilariously bland as Batman. There’s a lot of over the top action and the look of everything is really over the top. Seriously, this movie pisses me off as a Batman film but I love it as a shitty movie, so it’s up to you to decide. May the gaming gods bring you glory and protect you from the horrors of bat nipples.
Dundee trailer
Why, man? Why did Crocodile Dundee have to get resurrected in this day and age? Granted, after Alien: Covenant I grew a lot of respect for Danny McBride as a actor, I love the supporting cast, and I like the film is kinda reversing the premise of the classic. But I hate that it is connected to Crocodile Dundee. In the end, time will tell, but being connected to this franchise I feel hurts it. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
Batman Forever
Ok, I just have to say this, Batman Forever and Judge Dredd were the very first superhero movies I ever saw. I was four and I’m well aware neither film isn’t exactly regarded as a classic nor have aged particularly well but I still love the hell out of this thing.
So our third time around, this time with Val Kilmer as Batman, Batman faces off against his old friend Harvey Dent, now Two-Face. Aiding the police in the investigation is sexy Dr Chase Meridian who thinks Batman is super hot because he’s dark, mysterious, and he’s a buff dude in a black rubber suit. Bruce however starts courting chase when he goes to her for consultation on a creepy letter he was left by a disgruntled employee, Edward Nygma, who became the Riddler. So Riddler joins forces with Two-Face and has a plan to drain the brains of Gotham. On top of this, Bruce feels a huge sense of history repeating when young acrobat named Dick Grayson is left orphaned after Two-Face kills his family, much in the same way Joker killed Batman’s. To face the duo, Batman needs to team up with Robin and also rediscover why he chose to be Batman…
Ok, first I have to say the tone is definitely more vibrant and more family oriented than the Burton films. This is the first of two now by Joel Schulemacher- and yes tomorrow I’m talking about the infamous elephant in the room. Kilmer is alright as Batman and Bruce Wayne but I feel like he was trying to be more like Keaton. Nicole Kidman is pretty much eye candy as chase. Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face is what kills the movie; what would have been a great casting choice was a total crapshoot because it’s played for laughs. I’m going to say the best part of it, by far is Jim Carrey as Riddler. He is genuinely creepy but also funny. Chris O Donnell as Robin was my favorite as a kid. Despite some hokey ass moments, I think it’s a fun superhero flick. Nothing really special but by no means a shit storm. I’d say it is the second best of the four. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
5 Saddest Deaths in Gaming
The title says it all, this is just my personal list of 5 deaths that just for whatever reason seemed particular sad for me either because emotionally they sucked or because I just felt cheated and as usual, there is no particular order. Also there will obviously be spoilers for at least 5 games.
Thane, Mass effect 2. I know its technically possible to not have him die, but his death is still sad as hell. He is a great character and despite being an assassin you couldn’t really ask for a nicer teammate. He left us far too soon.
Lavitz Slambert The Legend Of Dragoon. Ok what the hell, this is one of the first guys to join your party, quickly becomes one of your characters best friends. You spend a ton of time getting him into fighting shape and BOOM son of a bitch gets killed pretty randomly early on to be replaced by a guy that will have all the same stuff. It is essentially pointless outside of the story, which honestly could have sent the king that joined you back to the castle and left the Lavitz with you and nothing would have changed.
Lee. Ok this dude got screwed. He saves a young girl he doesn’t know after pretty much going to jail on some bullshit he shouldn’t be going to jail for. Gets stuck in the zombie apocalypse and STILL manages to be a decent human being. Gets bit by a zombie while, rescues a little girl from a crazy guy and dies. This was sad on the grounds of him being a great character and it just being unfair.
Aerith Gainsborough. Look we all know she was going to be on the list, we also all know why. Lets just move on.
John Marston. This guy got the shaft. No lube. Forced to work for the government he essentially goes on a sanctioned killing spree across half of America and Mexico to kill his former gang just so the government can gun him down in the end anyway. John must have pissed off a lot of people to get that treatment.
Mute trailer
Being kinda late to the party on this kinda sucks, but I’m here and I am really excited for movie coming to NetFlix. First of all, I have to say this movie looks freaking beautiful so far. I’m not familiar with Duncan Jones but I know he’s made some good shit in recent years so I can’t wait to give his work a try. Plus I haven’t really seen a good sci-fi movie in awhile. May the gaming gods bring you glory.
