Reviews, as promised...

Just thought I'd review some movies while I had nothing better to do. You may be asking yourself, "When did she promise reviews?", well my dear friends, I have no idea what blog I promised reviews in. I was going through all my posts last night and found like 6 drafts. And 5 of those 6 were duplicates. But this one was on its own. It just had the list of movies and no description. Of course, I added to it a bit. So, if you think you can handle it, sit back and enjoy.

Black Water

This was a pretty good little Australian alligator movie. Naturally, it had no big release. We just saw it at the movie store one day and realised that we had never seen it, so we got it. It's about 3 people who go out on a boat in the waters of Australia and find them selves stranded at the mercy of the alligators. All in all, it's pretty good if you have nothing to watch. But, I have to say it's no Rogue. I give this a 7.5/10.

Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem

Ok, I can't really give this one a full review, as I did not finish it. But what I did watch was ok. I'm sure that all you Alien and Predator fans will like it. Whit out a doubt, you've already seen it. Being that it came out some time ago. But, I didn't watch it all, so I give it a 5/10.

Hard Candy

I know this movie got a lot of hype for being so gut wrenching on this one particular part. After all, it was on the Top 13 Scariest Movies of All Time. I think for some reason, it may be a little scarier to the boys than the girls. But I have to say, that part of the movie made me cringe too. So, if you've never seen this and you're just dying to know what part I'm talking about, then go rent it. It's a really good movie that has a lot going on. I give it a 8/10

Resident Evil: Degeneration">

Being a 10+ year Resident Evil fan, I just knew this movie would be awesome. Well, it's ok, but far from awesome. I'm so used to the actual Resident Evil movies, I was expecting a little more. And every single time It would be coming up to a fight scene, I kept thinking I had to play at the end. All in all, it was ok. I give it a 6/10.

I Love You, Beth Cooper

I'm not much on chick flicks, but this one wasn't too bad. There were a few funny parts that really stood out. So, if you're into chick flicks, you'll probably love it. And guys, if you ever want to impress your gal pal, I suggest renting this for her. She'll love you long time, lol. I give it a 7.5/10.

Star Trek

I've never ever been a Trekkie, but after this movie, I may just change my mind. I've never actually watched an episode of Star Trek, just the occasional pass by when I'm trying to find something on TV, so I can't really compare. But this movie was good. It blew G.I. Joe out of the water... way out of the water. So, if you've never rented this because you're not a Trekkie, you may want to run down to the movie store and give it a go. I give this far out number a 8/10.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Ok, I'm such a huge Transformers fan, I don't think they'll ever make one I don't like. These movies are so good from beginning to end. And usually the sequels are bunk, but this one was just as good. I give it a 8.5/10.

Jennifer's Body

As I'm sure most of you know, people hated this movie. I didn't think it was too bad, but some if it could've better. The plot was over worked. They tried way too hard to make this movie hip by using lines such as, "You're so Jello", "He's extra salty", and words like, "Shutties", "Biffs", and "Tampoonig". There's way more, but I can't remember them all. So, use your own judgment on this one. I give it a 7/10.

Warriors of Terra

Oh man, I really wish we had our $5 back. This movie looked bad from the second it started to when we turned it off. Which was like 30 minutes into the movie. Again, I can't give it a full rating cause we didn't finish it. So I give what we seen a 1.5/10. Yeah, it was that bad.

Paranormal Activity

And to finish off the list, Paranormal Activity. For some reason, this movie terrifies people. No clue why, I thought it sucked. There was only like 2 parts that were remotely scary. And that's not including the very end either (which I think sucked). It's still showing previews of people in the theater supposedly watching this and freaking out. Personally, I think that they were watching something else to make this movie seem scary. Or the people in the theater are just trying to be cute. Ugh, I hate the actors in this movie too. If they wanted to make it believe able, they should've got people that can actually act scared. I could go on for hours about how much I dislike this movie, but I'm going to stop here. I give it a 2.5/10.

Well, I guess that's enough for now. Hopefully that gets you up to date on all the movies we've watched lately. Hope you enjoy! Peace...

Song of the day: God Gave Rock & Roll to You by Kiss

Don't forget to click the name of the movie for the trailer!

Of course this happened...

I don't think I've said anything about this since it's happened. I guess it's just too painful for me to bring up. For the past month or two, our Xbox has been giving us some trouble. It would work, but after so long, it would freeze. We thought that maybe it was because we had played Left 4 Dead too much, but it froze every game we have. So, with our warranty being out, we were faced with three choices:

A) Get a new one

B) Send it to Microsoft and have them fix it

C) Fix it ourselves

And which one of those lucky letters do you think we chose? That's right, we chose C. So, we got all of our stuff together and started tearing it apart. Which is no easy task. After we got it stripped down, we started cleaning it. There was so much dust, we thought that might be the problem. Then we cleaned the laser in the disc drive. After we were finished, we put it back together. Piece of cake right? Wrong! Guess what happened after that. It overheated. So, we then had to wait. We didn't touch it until the next day. Then we tried to turn it on again... still overheated. We both knew there was now way that it was overheated, so we took it apart again. While it was still stripped, we decided to turn it to see if it would work or not before we put everything back together. So, we did and it worked. We were like, "Hell yea!". So we put it back together, hooked it up, and turned it on. Can you guess what happened next? It said it was overheated again. At this time we were so pissed, we just wanted to play. So, we took everything back off of it and left it that way.

So now, we have a piss poor looking Xbox that still freezes. We've got an Xbox fund going, so hopefully we have a new one by the time Left 4 Dead 2 comes out. If not, we've both decided to prostitute ourselves out for the money.

Well, I think that's all for now. See you on the other side. Peace...

Song of the day: Detroit Rock City by Kiss

Here's what our poor Xbox looks like now. We sat it on its outer shell so that it wouldn't get too hot. Hopefully, there's a nice new Xbox sitting on our floor by the 17th.

Just got home...

I just got back from the store. I had to get a few necessities that we were pretty much out of. Like for example: soap, alcohol, detergent, cat litter, and the most important thing... Mountain Dew. All in all it was a pretty nice little experience.

I stopped by RedBox and picked up a few movies. We hadn't been there in a couple weeks, so there was a few new ones. I got The Uninvited, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Step Brothers. We haven't seen the first two, but come on, who hasn't seen Step Brothers? It's the best Will Ferrell movie I've seen in a long time. And not to mention, it has Seth Rogen in it. It's like an all around awesome movie. So expect some reviews in the next day or two.

While I was in Walmart I looked at some of the Digital Camcorders. We've been talking about getting a new one here lately. Ours is so old, we haven't even been using it. We use our camera for video anymore. They had some pretty nice ones for a fairly nice price. So, we have that to look forward to, lol.

I think that's about all for now. If anything new comes up, I'll let you know. So, peace out and rock hard.

Song of the day: New York Groove by Kiss

Back in the New York groove...

Well, here I sit, at a little black desk in front of a very reliable computer typing this late breaking news for all of our readers everywhere, while listening to Shambala by Three Dog Night. Great song by the way. If you’ve never listened to it, I demand you go download it know, cause you’re missing a great experience in music history. Just to let you all know. This blog has nothing what so ever to do with New York. I just thought it was a good blog title at the moment. And another fantastic song by the one and only Kiss. Lets see… Well, I just got back from a dark and dreary drive to the market for my grandma. Hmm, kind of sounds like a little a little something Mr. Edgar Allan Poe once wrote. Anyway, she wanted me to go get a chicken. Yeah, weird request at 9:00 at night. You’d think she’d want me to get some Taco Bell. Cause after all, it is the fourth meal. She’s so gnarly. But I think she’s having some kind of dinner tomorrow. Hmm, what else? Well we watched a couple movies, The Love Guru and Baby Mama. Well, The Love Guru was definitely out there. It is by far, the weirdest Mike Myers movie I have ever seen. Now don’t get me wrong, it was funny, just weird. It’ll give you lines to quote for years to come. So, if you like Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, extremely goofy lines, or have a fascination with India, well then this is the movie for you. I would give it a 7.5/10. Ok, Baby Mama… It was pretty good. But not what I expected. I figured it would be somewhere along the lines of an SNL type comedy, considering it stars two of SNL’s funniest girls: Tina Fay and Amy Poehler. But not so much. It was more serious than funny. If you’re looking for a laugh out loud comedy, then this isn’t the movie for. But if you looking for a mild comedy with just a hint of seriousness, then you’ll love it. I would give it a 6.5/10. Hmm, well no news on the kittens that are now 18 days old! But, who’s counting? There is no way we can get to them. We’ve tried every possibility. I guess we’ll just have to wait until they come staggering out. Well, I guess that’s about all for now. Tomorrow or the next day I’ll probably have a huge picture update. So we have that to look forward to, lol. But until then, peace out and rock hard! - Megan
