Absolutely Anything

Another Simon Pegg film I found on Netflix. This time aliens discover the probe launched from Earth back in the 1970’s and decide to test humanity. That test is to give 1 random human the power to do anything they want for 10 days to see if they use those powers for good or evil.

Well this can’t possibly go wrong can it? Well for starters they never actually told this average school teacher they randomly gave these powers to that he had these powers or that he was being tested. So he may or may not have used an alien spaceship to blow up and subsequently kill a classroom of his students. Don’t worry he has powers. He fixes that. After he may or may not have caused the dead to walk the Earth for a bit.

Ok so maybe things go a bit wrong at times. The powers seem to work like an old fashioned genie. He gets what he wants, but it is exactly what he asks for. For example he wants to be on the bus. And he literally ends up on top of the bus. He quickly says he meant in the bus and ends up in the engine. The movie is quite entertaining but may not be for everyone. Unlike his movies Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead this one really isn’t for everyone. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Cities Skylines PlayStation 4

Cities Skyline is a city creator for the PC, Xbox One and and PlayStation 4. While obviously not perfect, no game is, this one is particularly good. Sim games on console are usually pretty hit or miss. Heavy on the miss.

Cities Skylines however manages to have nice controls that function well on a controller. And while mod support is missing on console and the DLC hasn’t released yet (snowfall comes out this month) if like me you love city builders and sim games this one is absolutely a must own.

The sound isn’t bad tho like any game it can be a bit repetitive and at times annoying for some people, personally I didn’t mind it but be aware you might.

Graphically for this genre it looks great but there are on occasion some dips in frame rate. Nothing game breaking but they do exist and can be mildly annoying. Aside from that the game looks and plays amazing and watching your people come and go and drive around is great.

This game is worth buying, but only if you enjoy the type of game. Everyone else should probably pass however. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Hot Fuzz (2007)

Have you ever been so amazingly bad ass at your job the boss promotes you just to transfer you to some hick town? Yea can’t say it’s happened to me either. That is essentially the beginning of this movie tho.

Now I will admit I have a fondness for Simon Pegg movies and this is no different. The combination outrageous and dry humor just hits my funny bone.

With that being said Hot Fuzz does a great job of both making a small town seem perfect and somehow not right at the same time. The local police are oblivious but not incompetent. The movie is simply a hidden gem of writing that many people will simply overlook.

I highly recommend checking this one out if you have the time. Simon Pegg plays a cop just as well as he plays a guy in a zombie movie or an officer on a star ship and you owe it to yourself to see it. Best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

Brad’s Status (2017)

Life sucks. Then you get old. Then die. Yep. That’s about it. Brad Sloan (Ben Stiller) has a pretty nice life. A great wife (Jenna Fischer), who’s incredibly supportive of him, a cushy job, a quaint suburban house, a few friends, and a son, Troy (Austin Abrams), who’s something of a musical-prodigy and all ready […]

Scouts Guide to the Apocalypse (2015)

I’m not going to lie to you guys, I knew nothing about this movie. My daughter made me watch this and admittedly I was pleasantly surprised.

While some of the dialogue was a bit corny and many of the jokes have been made before the movie was fairly well done. It also had everything a horror comedy needs.

Cheap laughs? Got them. Good looking women? Got those as well. Zombie stripper? Yup. Zombie deer? Yup. Zombie singing Brittney Spears?…yea..that’s actually a thing too.

While the movie isn’t perfect and there are by far better movies out there I can’t think of a reason not to watch this one. By all means check it out, best wishes and may the gaming gods bring you glory.

The Last of Us 2

The Last of Us was one of those games people knew would be solid. But few knew it would be a must play game before it released. The story alone was great but it was also beautiful. There is also some debate as to of you are even the good guy. (Honestly I don’t think you are) Sure you save the girl, but at what cost? Anyway we have a knew trailer and part 2 and it is magnificent. Enjoy.

Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

Dan O.'s avatar Dan the Man's Movie Reviews

Who gave Kevin Feige acid?

The God of Thunder, also known as Thor (Chris Hemsworth), after finding out that he and his evil adopted-brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), have an evil older sister, Hela (Cate Blanchett) that they never knew a thing about, is sent away to an awful planet where all of the universe’s trash and undesirables are dropped off and sometimes, even sold. Thor becomes one of those items and is forced to face-off against an old pal of his, Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who, after leaving the rest of the Avengers to fend for themselves over two years ago, has been hulking out, beating the crap out of all sorts of foes. But Thor thinks that he can get through to Hulk and, hopefully, bring him back to Asgard, so that they can take down Hela, as powerful as she may be. Of course, though, Thor’s going to need…
