Kill Hitler

Tom Cruise's new movie about a Nazi officer in the Third Reich that does not agree with Hitler's principles is definitely worth watching. It is suspenseful, thought provoking, and based on a true story. Cruise delivers a convincing and powerful performance as Colonel Von Stauffenberg, and the supporting actors are great, such as Bill Nighy. The Colonel joins a group of high-ranking German officers who plan to overthrow Hitler's regime after being injured in battle. See this movie if you like war movies, suspense movies, mysteries, etc. 9/10 stars.

p.s. Merry belated Christmas, and Happy New Year's Eve! (Unless you're in China, then you'll have to wait a month or two.)

The Earth is still spinning...

Movies: I saw "The Day the Earth Stood Still", the remake of the 1951 movie, with Keanu Reeves. It was decent. Perhaps worth a DVD rental. There were some good special effects shots that were cool, but the story sucked. 

*spoilers*

Klaatu (Reeves) is an alien sent by a group of extraterrestrial civiliztions to save Earth. A scientist (Jennifer Connelly)  who is recruited by the U.S. govt. to help understand the alien's arrival is pleased to hear this, until she finds out he is only here to save planet Earth, not its sentient inhabitants. In fact, he is here to destroy us. He says "your planet is one of the few in the cosmos that is capable of sustaining complex life" yet he wants to destroy the most complex life this planet sustains. Fail. It is pretty much a propaganda bit for global warming, like "The Happening", except a little better. Never see "The Happening". They run from trees (which don't move) and in the end it is insinuated that the whole Earth dies because we chop down too many trees, or drive too many SUVs. Shyamalayan's worst, by far. That's the end of my review rant.

p.s. This movie looks awesome:

Recommendations

Today, I have some recommendations. First, games. If you have not played Halo 3, you obviously have been in a coma for the past 5 months. If you have not played Call of Duty 4, you have been seriously deprived, and if you haven't played Republic Commando, then you should requisition it at your nearest video entertainment dealing facility ASAP, soldier! Now, a good movie that you all have likely seen is I Am Legend. But, on the off chance that you haven't seen it, then do so. If you search youtube for mcdonald's rap, you will get a clever and funny video.* It is different than the one in my sidebar. Also, some good reading as far as recent books go, I am almost done with the Republic Commando series. It is a well-done book, but a more than common Star Wars knowledge is needed to understand it. At least see all 6 Star Wars movies and play Republic Commando through, that should do it. Anyway, see ya later. Happy surfing!

Hold on to your hats...

Well, the preview doesn't look disappointing. What preview? This one.

far cry, iron man

Another game and movie update. Farcry 2 is coming out later this year, which should be cool. I've never played the first one, but I heard that it's pretty good. Also, here is another iron man preview, if you didn't see the superbowl.

Press this button...

Warning! Do not press this button if you are on a diet. Hi! I have been experimenting with different backgrounds, and haven't found one yet. I will upload one of my own creation soon, and see how it looks. P.S. Correction: the Wolverine movie is next year, I believe. Also, the SSBB game is delayed AGAIN!, this time to March 9. Next time, it'll be 2012! P.P.S. Click the picture to enlarge. No bacon will be received.

I'm Back...

Hello, I know it's been a long time. School is keeping me really busy. But, I had to take time to share a couple of things with you. First, check out the first preview of Iron Man!!! Right here... . and see this cool photo from the North Pole...

See ya later!-K.K.

The Dark Knight

Christian Bale has done two movies this year, Rescue Dawn, and a western movie with Russell Crowe, 3:10 to Yuma. Russell Crowe is also doing two movies this year, that and American Gangster with Denzel Washington. I think his last movie was Cinderella man, before that Master and Commander. But the most looked forward to movie of Bale's is the Dark Knight. Here is the preview.

Heavy hitters

On August 7th, Barry Bonds made baseball history. Bonds broke Hank Aaron's record, with 756 home runs. Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record in '78 with 715 homers. Also, a new Hulk movie is coming out next year with a whole new cast including Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross. The film is directed by Louis Leterrier. The villains for those of you who know them, are Abomination and The Leader.
