Catch-22 and George Clooney coming to Hulu?

Catch-22 has already been adapted several times over the years as a movie, play, and TV show pilot. It is now being adapted once again, but this time by Hulu with George Clooney set to direct and star in it. It will be interesting to see what George Clooney and Hulu do with Joseph Heller’s groundbreaking satirical […]

Destroy All Humans (PS4)

download

Destroy all humans is kind of like a Sci Fi movies from the 60’s or 70’s in video game form.  After a space ship accidentally gets a bit to close to missile launch and knocked out of the sky, our main character Crypto is sent to help save his race by taking over the human race in the name of the Furon Empire so they can extract DNA hidden deep inside humanity so they can save their own race.

The graphics have been updated nicely and the controls work well. The writing has aged well and is pretty funny in its own right, but do not go into this game expecting a serious experience. The very beginning for example sees Crypto attempting to speak with cows since he feels they may be the dominate species. Turns out not so much obviously, the game however is worth playing for many reasons, but I won’t spoil that on you. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Reboots and Remasters?

reboots

Are we finally hitting the point of too many reboots and remasters?  Recently it was announced that Animaniacs would be getting a season 2 on Hulu ( more info here ) And in the last few months we have gotten remasters of Final Fantasy 9 (PS4) a Star Ocean The Last Hope in HD and that is just off the top of my head and we aren’t even counting movies or games of the past few years. But when is this going to far? Believe it or not Peter Pan, The Grinch and even The Crow are supposedly getting reboots this year.

Now i’m not saying reboots or even remasters are bad, as you can see from my FF9 review I loved it, and when I get the time to finish up Star Ocean unless the 2nd half of the game falls apart that will be getting a pretty positive review as well. And I loved Star trek (reboot) but I would like to see some more original ideas tossed out there. Netflix has had some movies that while not perfect were pretty original for example The Babysitter (2017) or Little Evil

By the away sorry about all the links, I doubt anyone will actually read most of them. They are just kind of there in case you want a reference point. I am actually going to take an odd stance I have no seen many take. When it comes to movies, I am not a fan of the reboots coming so much, but in the games I love all these remasters. Many games are being lost to time and new generations simply don’t get to enjoy many of the classics. These remasters give a whole new class of gamers a chance to play them. That being said, remakes are not something I can get behind. As a huge Final Fantasy 7 fan I have very little faith the remake will be good for example. Anyways enough of my rambling, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Before I Wake (2016)

download (2)

Before I wake is one of those movies people will either love or hate, like most Netflix movies really. It tells the story of a husband and wife that choose to foster a child after the death of their son.They soon discover their new foster son has a weird power where his dreams become reality when he sleeps.

As he sleeps they see visions of beautiful butterflys and even their child that died in an accident happy. more than visions tho they can touch these things. Mom becomes slowly more obsessed with staying up to see them, not in a dangerous way but in an unhealthy way to be sure, which dad calls her out on.

The problem with all this, is his nightmares are also very real, and very dangerous. The first to fall victim to this is the school bully that learns sometimes it doesn’t pay to be a dick, and it pays even less to attempt an attack on a sleeping classmate. The movie is a lot of fun and has some great twist and turns to it, and while I al sure it isn’t for everyone I enjoyed it from beginning to end, tho it may be the saddest horror movie every created. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

License to Wed (2007)

download (1)

License to Wed is the sweet story of how a couple met, fell in love and decided to get married. Then a possibly deranged and crazy but possibly genius minister played by the late great Robin Williams. The story starts off much like any comedic love story, boy meets girl, boy falls in love, boy proposes. They then go to girls church she frequented growing up to get her favorite and most loved religious adviser not named Savior to unite them in holy matrimony.

This is around the time Mr. Williams as the minister turns out to be possibly bat shit crazy with a game show similar to Family Fued going on with the 10 commandments and children with plans to take them in the park the next day to learn about the sins of gambling. He then informs them all to bring a dollar and ask their parents what a trifecta is. For those that don’t gamble a trifecta is a term for when a gambler places a wager on their ability to pick the placement of the first 3 positions of a race for example.

Anyway that aside they decide between being wed in 3 weeks or 2 years, and the race is on to finish a multi month course in 3 weeks. This will include counseling sessions, both group and one on one, a random visit for the minister to talk about sex, them not being allowed to have sex and driving a car blindfolded. The movie is great and a lot of fun and any comedy fan should check it out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Hot Rod (2007)

download

Hot Rod is the story of a wannabe stunt man following the path of his father, a father that died during a tragic stunt. Rod Kimble lives at home with mom, step dad and half brother. His half brother his part of his team that helps him set up his stunts. His step dad beats him during sparing matches where Rod attempts to prove he really is a man, and his stunts are basically the joke of the town. But can he change all this when his step dad needs an expensive surgery to save his life, and so he can finally be a man that beats up his step dad?

Don’t go into this movie expecting some great movie with amazing special effects, or even great acting. The effects and music seem to come straight out of the 80’s, hell so does most of the acting. And what would you really expect from Andy Samburg and Danny McBride? The movie tho is amazing, its funny, its goofy and it actually has a pretty great story to it. The ending is also not what you would expect.

As always I won’t spoil much more for you, but the ending was pretty refreshing. Best wises and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Drawn Together

drawn together

There are some things that once seen, cannot be unseen: this is one of the few times it’s a compliment. Many don’t remember Drawn Together, but those that watched it remember it DAMN well. Not everyday you see a Veggie-Tale go postal, a superhero and a pig wash a homeless guys balls, or the most feared creature in our live action universe: live action squirrel with incredibly huge balls! That kind of crazy shit.

Drawn Together is a animated reality show about animated characters living in a house. Captain Hero, Foxy Luv, Toot, Spanky Ham, Xander, Waldor Sockbat, and Ling-ling are representations of characters we all grew up with which leads to some insanely outrageous moments during it’s three seasons. And I warn you now, if you aren’t into raunchy comedy, skip this like swimming in a pool of plague bodies. Over a decade after it aired, it holds up well but I do recommend watching it unedited. I highly recommend this show for it’s great premise, funny characters, and unforgettable moments. May the gaming gods bring you glory.

 

Rings (2017)

download (5)

Having never seen the other movies I really didn’t know what to expect to be honest. I did her some not so flattering things and I have to admit I really don’t see them. The acting is fine, the story itself is pretty solid. A college professor sees a take and figures out that if he gets other people to watch it nobody dies. Using this tactic to attempt to figure out if souls actually exist and to save lives however things are bound to go wrong.

Of course things do go wrong, and that is when people start dying and things go from . I bad to a hell of a lot worse. The movie is far from perfect, and I am open to the idea that the others were just so much better this one seems worse, I don’t want to spoil to much but I did enjoy this one and would suggest giving it a fair chance. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
