Don't Sleep Thru This Movie...


I went and saw Smokin' Aces this Saturday, and boy was it a good movie. Now i say that knowing that some people really didn't like the movie at all, but fuck them, setting aside the fact that it is molded from Lock Stock, and Layer Cake, and has "Boston" Ben Aflac... i mean Afleck, but it is still a decent movie. It has a HUGE all (well mostly) star cast including, Common, Jeremy Piven, Ryan Reynolds, Alicia Keys, Jason Bateman, Ben Affleck, Ray Liota, Andy Garcia, That guy from Lost that i don't know his name, some woman from Passion's. Well its a lot of people. Anyway, the movie is a RollerCoaster thru the entire thing. If you don't figure it out in the first 30mins the movie has a pretty good twist ending ("What a twist!!") I enoyed it my wife enjoyed it, i would recommend that any fan of the movies like Lock Stock or Snatch or Layer Cake go see this movie. Just remember that this is quickly becoming its own genre of movie and should be seen as such.

Wii is to Games as TP is to the Toilet.

Despite that horrible attempt to make a joke and try to show how essential the Wii has become in my household, I don't recommend that you attempt to wipe your ass with a Wii, or your friends Wii.

Since i got my Wii the day after Christmas i have been playing it all the time, and searching for another Wiimote with the same vigor and desperation. I finally found another Wiimote saturday but now can't find a nunchuk. Ohwell now i can at least play most of the Wii sports with/against my wife and friends.

Also i started playing Zelda Twilight Princess. It is a very sweet game. It looks great and is a lot of fun to play. Though i don't really see that it HAS to be a Wii game. Almost if not all of the elements of the game could be played on a regular GC controller. I can't really see where you absolutley have to have a Wii to play the game. Don't get me wrong it is a lot of fun to play with the Wii Controller, but if you can't find a Wii and still want to play the game or if you have a Wii and for some reason can't find the Wii version, just pick it up for the GC, it really is just as good.

Anyway i guess what i am trying to say is that the Wii is super great and i couldn't be happier that i have one. Not to metion the fact that my wife loves Ravin Rabbids and can't wait for the Mario Party 8 or Wario Smooth Moves. It really is fun for everyone, no matter your age or preferance in games.
