Here’s the trailer for the new upcoming action flick starring Nicholas Cage, entitled Bangkok Dangerous. I just wanna know why he went with the Next hairstyle. I will probably end up waiting for DVD for this one.
This would be the third time a Dr. Seuss movie has been recreated into movie form, aside from How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Cat in the Hat. This is the first run in animated form, but I would recommend you stick with the Grinch. The movie follows Horton (Jim Carrey), a big elephant in the forest of Noel, that’s Noel, not no-el. He is traveling along one day with his friends when he hears a small voice coming from a speck of dust which just-so-happens to be the home of Whoville, a little community led by the Mayor (This time not Jeffrey Tambor, but Steve Carell). He then is determined to get the Whos back to a safe home. Here’s the thing, I was expecting this to be a smart, yet childish movie, mainly because of great voice actors like Steve Carell (Who makes the movie) and Amy Poehler, that and it comes from Blue Sky, who is behind the Ice Age series, a very smart animated series. However, the movie just kinda aimed it’s sights on kids, which kinda dissapointed me, only a few jokes I found really funny. Like I said earlier, Steve Carell really did well in this movie, he does great with voice acting, and so did Jaime Presley, Jim Carrey, and Seth Rogen. However, I’ve now discovered I don’t like Carol Burnett, who voices the kangaroo. The animation in this movie is also really really really good, probably one of the highlights for the movie. They also really captured the look of Dr. Seuss well. The movie’s really cute, kids will love it, but it just didn’t hit the mark for me. I expected it to be a little less kid-oriented. The movie has its moments, some of them being pretty funny (see below video) like some of Horton’s antics or the more out-there jokes, most coming from Steve Carell. Overall, this movie is solid for a view at the theaters, and would even make a solid rent, but if you’re looking for a smart package that both kids and young adults will enjoy, this may not be the thing for you. I actually liked it a lot more than the rest of my family did, my Mom came out of it saying “That was the worst movie EVER!!!”, but I thought it was entertaining.
Here are some of the saddest moments from Scrubs. I’m not obsessed with Scrubs, but they do produce some great videos.
The first, since DS put a trailer with Brendan Frasier in it, includes JD and Dr. Cox going to his funeral. If you only watch one of these, watch this one.
I was thinking today, and it’s partially related to James’ Athletes, Not Heroes post, but I was wondering why great games like Psychonauts receive great reviews, are so much fun to play, are an absolute blast, are ignored by the gaming public and thus have low sales numbers, yet big game franchises that get trashed by critics are cranking out sequels before you can finish the first one. Really, I would have stood on the street side and publicized Psychonauts if it meant Tim Schafer would receive the funds to make the sequel. Come on, Psychonauts was a strange game, a little outside the box, but that’s why it was fun, and why it was so clever and fun. While these other games use the same tried and failed formula to make all of their games. I loved Psychonauts, and recommed it to anyone looking for a long and fun gaming experience, and I also recommed that gamers out there research the games that they’re going to buy so we can maybe give the underdogs out there the recognition they deserve. Got a game you wanna see a sequel to that flew under the radar? Let me know.
Earlier I did a post about a rumored SOnic title releasing this November:
“Rumors are floating around the net that a new Sonic game, entitled Sonic Unleashed will be hitting stores this November. The blue hedgehog’s next installment has not been denied or confirmed yet, but there has been news reported by Game On, which may or may not be true. They say that Sonic will be once again trying to stop Eggman, but this time with an evil alternate-werewolf self. The name has been patented, and a screenshot (above) and videos have been found, however until Sega confirms it, it is only a rumor. But until then, I’ll just assume that Game On is rught and that Sonic Unleashed, as they are saying, will be released in November on the 360 and Wii.”
It is now confirmed by SEGA, Wikipedia, and a humorous caption by Halolz that the title will go ahead as planned onto it’s November release date. More about the story has been revealed, more importantly that Sonic will be traveling to Mabuz, to fight the dragon Immarius, who turns people to dangerous beasts. There are actually good-looking (graphically) screenshots of Sonic, and one of him and his werewolf counterpart. The game, according to Wikipedia will release this November on the Wii, 360, and PS3.
For those of you looking forward to the new superhero comedy Hancock starring Will Smith, here’s a fansite, entitled “Hancock was Here” I found posting updates to the movie. Click here to visit the site. And here’s a link to a page with some new screenshots of the movie.
This is actually a video compilation I made, compiled of videos mainly from Season 2, but some from Season 1, set to Nickelback’s If Everyone Cared. I made this, so please feel free to comment and let me know how it is. Did I mention that I made it?
Thanks to Colt, James, and Kodak, I am now able to share some of my best screenshots taken from my gameplay. Not only will you laugh, but you’ll also learn of my playing style, if there is one.
