Warcraft: A Movie Review  OR Another reason to IGNORE CRITICS So for awhile I've been reading review about the new "Warcraft" and I've yet to read a professional critics review that didn't loath the movie. I read how the story was impossible to follow, how the characters were shallow, and the only thing that was any good was the special effects. Well, I guess the critics had to get something right, the special effects were amazing. As for the the story being hard to follow, anybody that payed any attention to what was happening in the dialog new exactly what was happening. Everything was made perfectly clear, from names of characters to the names of the locations they were in. As for the characters, I actually liked them all, well except for those I was supposed to hate, but still, you get the point. It didn't matter if you've been playing in the Warcraft world from the beginning, just started, or have no clue about any of it, if you like fant...

I loved DeadPool! I laughed my way threw it. The action was great. While I haven't read very many of the comics the writers managed to capture the comics really well according to what I've been reading fans say. I had so much fun the entire way threw. As much as I loved it though, a warning. It got an R rating for a good reason. Adult humor, blood, gore, nudity, and sex runs a muck threw the entire movie. If you're easily offended by those things you aren't going to like this, and you probably don't want to take little kids to this movie. Go see it, it was well worth my time, money, and bladder control, damn soda.

I've been a ninja turtle fan for more years than I can remember. When I was little I would run around being that ninja fighting to foot, and eating pizza. Even as the years passed and the new cartoons would come on, or the amazing comics books were released, I would be there ready and waiting. That's why when I heard that this new movie was coming I was excited.... and slightly scared. I mean how where these new turtles going to stomp on something I loved so much growing up. So when I went to the theater I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not to sure what people were expecting from the Ninja Turtle movie, but this was a good PG, kids movie. Maybe that's what seemed to bug so many reviewers. It really is a kids, PG movie. If you go expecting some over the top movie aimed at older audiences then you're going to be disappointed. If you go and keep in mind that it really is a kids movie, you will have fun. Each of the turtles acted just as you would expect them to act....

Guardians of the Galaxy is Marvel comics latest romp into movies, and I loved every second of it. I'd never heard of the Guardians before the movie, never read a comic or anything else so, I went into the movie not knowing what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The Guardians consist of Peter Quill (Starlord), Gamora the beautiful assassin, Drax, Rocket Racoon, and Groot the giant tree person. All of them, rebel, loosers in their own right are brought together to save Xandar, the home of the Nova Corps from Kree Ronan and the Infinity Stone he has acquired. This movie was so much fun. Their was a great balance of drama, action, and tons of just funny. The entire theater laughed at the jokes, and it seemed everybody had a great time. The special effects were amazing, along with the voice acting of Rocket.  If you're looking for something to do, go watch this movie!

After seeing this movie you remember why Godzilla is king of the monsters.  The entire movie reminded me of the original Godzilla movies with super new graphics.  While you don't get the chance to see Godzilla until about half way threw the movie, you wont be disappointed with the two other monsters we get to see rain havoc across the world, and then... Oh man and then, the classic, epic fight between the monsters to the death. This movie is so much fun, it just flew by. I hope this brings more classic monster movies to the theater.  I can't wait to be able to pick it up on blu-ray.  Even with all the movies that are coming to the theater this one is a must see.

I think I had more fun watching this movie than I have had watching a movie in a theater in a long time.  The two hour sequel just flew by, leaving me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Before I knew it a bag of a popcorn and my drink were gone, the movie was over and all I could think was I have to go see that again. Captain America: The Winter Soldier had everything, stunts, action, explosions, spies, humor, and good plot twist. They managed to take everything that a comic book does and put it all into a movie, giving the entire audience that feeling comic fans get after reading a really good comic. If you're going to go see a movie this weekend this is the one to see.

So it's the opening weekend of the second of the Hobbit movies, The Desolation of Smaug. The first thing you should know is if you're going just to see the book  put to film you're going to be disappointing. It isn't and exact copy of the book, just like the first one, things have been added to fill out the story. Now that that's out of the way, this movie was amazing!  The entire movie I was on the edge of my seat with my mouth open. The Hobbit does what every movie is supposed to do and sucks you in and doesn't let you go for the entire time. The action will have you gasping as if you were there yourself, and the special effects will blow you away. Smaug the dragon has to be one of the coolest dragons in any movie in the history of movies and Benedict Cumberbatch was the perfect voice for Smaug. I had so much fun watching this movie I can't wait to see it again and can't tell you enough how great it was. Go see this movie!

Yesterday I went out and saw The Worlds End, the new Simon Pegg, Nick Frost comedy.  I was actually surprised, the movie wasn't in my local theater and I actually had to go for a bit of a drive to get a one that was playing and even there we were put in the very last  theater. You know the one, it's like  a quarter of the size of all the others, the one where movies that are almost done running are usually put. The theater was packed though. I guess the owners didn't expect many people to want to see the movie. Anyway back to the movie. The Worlds End is about Gary King and how he wants to relive better days by trying to go back to his home town and finish and epic pub-crawl that he and his group of friends had failed 20 years earlier.  Gary manages to convince his old group of friends to come back and attempt the pub-crawl, that would end at the worlds end, only to find out that something is pretty wrong with the town and becomes a struggle not only reconcile the ...

Well it's been awhile since we heard anything at all about id's first person shooter Rage came to us but they've finally decided to give us some new content.  It's going to include six new areas, The Scorchers (a new evil gang), new Mutant Bash TV, more mini-games and new gun, the Nailgun. It should be available for $5 or 400 microsoft points. Rage came out in the U.S. in October of 2011 to mediocre reviews. While I enjoyed the game as a whole the ending, which I'll try not to spoil, felt like it didn't actually conclude anything.  It almost felt like we were supposed to have a whole next section to the game. I always figured the first DLC would give us a better ending but not so much. This DLC does give me a bit of hope though, it shows us that they still are thinking about their game and who knows they might actually listen to their fans and finish it.  The DLC should be available next week.
