Obsessed

obsessed

There are times I watch things for the blog I love, sometimes laugh at, hate, or just once in a great while experiment with to fulfill a theory. I remembered the trailers for this movie a decade ago and thought meh; I heard reviews for this movie a decade ago that were basically meh. So one night, finding it on Netflix, I decided to see if its really meh or not…

A young, happy couple move into a new house with there newborn baby. Derrick is a successful business executive who meets a pretty temp girl named Lisa. She came prepared to be Derrick’s assistant and tries to get closer to him; Derrick is happily married to his wife Sharon and brushes off Lisa’s advances. Things don’t seem serious until the Christmas party when Lisa tries to seduce derrick after a few drinks, and that’s when he realizes she’ll destroy his marriage, his career, and his life to have him all to herself…

Basically the title says it all- this is pretty much a by the numbers stalker film. Because it’s PG-13, there is no crazy bat shit stuff like Fatal Attraction or Audition. Idris Elba and Beyonce are too good for this bland script and Ali Larter is fine as the crazy stalker but even she could have done better. It’s not terrible, just bland as hell with one really hilarious moment from Elba about halfway through. I can’t really recommend it, mostly because there are much better movies that did more with the premise. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Vin Diesel Reveals John Cena for Fast & Furious 9

For fans of the Fast & Furious serious that are upset that The Rock won’t be in the ninth movie in the franchise, Vin Diesel took to Instagram to reveal a new wrestler, John Cena. Screenrant has the actual video for those that want to see it, but for me this really comes off as a way to try to grab the fan base they lose by losing The Rock from the movie, tho that is just my opinion. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Sticks:A tool in Time

sticks

I’m dedicating this post to a good friend of mine, Billy, who coincidentally wrote the book which is the topic of today’s blog. Sticks: A tool in time is exactly what the cover and title suggest: a book about sticks. Yes, sticks. No metaphors, no mysticism just ordinary sticks you break off a tree every day. Now, I know what many of you are thinking: “Torsten, why in the fuck do I want to read a book about sticks when I can read about distant fantasy landscapes, millionaires with kinky fetishes, or secret agents?” Well my friend, I have 2 reasons why you should. The first being a response to your thoughts, yes those are fun subjects to dive into but there are so many books about the same thing, but how many are about sticks? Also, its absurdly hilarious. Savior laughed himself silly and honestly I had a good many laughs too; the book is written to be self aware and laughs are intended. I’m well aware the humor won’t catch on everyone but it’s a fun, small read you can find cheap on Amazon ( link listed below) and I wish my friend the best and can’t wait for the next installment. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Planet Zoo Announcement Trailer (PC)

Frontier Developments the makers of Elite Dangerous and Jurassic Park Evolution, two games we all know I am a fan of is releasing a new tycoon game in 2019. This one is called Planet Zoo where you will be building, you guessed it, a zoo. According to Frontier, each animal will explore the zoo you build and you can eventually even release animals to help rebuild their population and of course there will be research to do. So enjoy the trailer and wait for the PC release, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Alien: Harvest

Harvest is the last of the 6 and I have to say the most action oriented, actually in a way I felt there was some Alien: Isolation vibes here. While the Alien looks pretty convincing, the biggest flaw I see is I don’t like the weird flashy editing. Other than that, it’s a pretty good fan film. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

Velocipastor..Yup, That Is A Thing.

Yea you read that right, there is a movie called Velocipastor. And yes, it is about exactly what you think. A pastor that turns into a dinosaur and kills people. No joke, there is a trailer below. The movie is out, tho I have not gotten to see it yet. I plan on looking for it tho because how the hell do you not watch a horror movie about this. I was just messing around on youtube and bam, there it was. So enjoy the trailer and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Alien: Alone

I’m nearly positive that of all 6 Alien shorts, Alone may be my favorite of the 6. Trapped aboard a dying, abandoned vessel in the middle of space, an android deals with the prospects of dying alone, but when she finds a “friend” of sorts, how far will she go to help her friend survive? I love the twists the story takes, especially putting the Alien in a role I admit we haven’t really seen before. There is a great moment at the end where you see her and her friend united that was really cool to see. The pacing is slower but I liked the final product so I didn’t mind much. I definitely recommend it for the fans and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Endgame Beats Force Awakens’ Opening night Record

Force Awakens opened with a huge night back in 2015, $57 million to be exact. Now in 2019 that record has been beaten by another Disney movie in Endgame which opened at a monstrous $60 million.  If there was ever any doubt about people being excited about it, it is probably safe to put that one to rest. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
