It's The Same Train, But It's Different

by Rainier on April 18, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

Damn, this weekend flew by in a hurry!

Apart from going out for some tasty breakfast, we mainly watched movies. There was a Toy Story marathon on TV, so we watched the first two of the trilogy, some Bones, NCIS, Supernatural, and we went to the theater to see Source Code. If you haven't seen Jake Gyllenhaal's latest movie yet (also starring Russell Peters, Vera Farmiga and Michelle Monaghan), then I won't spoil give any spoilers, but the movie was quite good and the last minute is a head scratcher in a good and bad way. Also watched Just Wright with Queen Latifah and Common, and it was surprisingly good for a romantic comedy.

We suffered through Machete, and wow, for all the high-profile cameos (Robert De Niro, Don Johnson, Steven Seagal and Jessica Alba), I did NOT like it at ALL. What a waste of time.

No One Tells A Lie After He's Said He's Going To Tell One

by Rainier on April 16, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

This weekend, we're going to see either Source Code or Hanna. There's not really much else we're interested in seeing, although The Conspirator looks interesting but something we'd relegate to DVD.

Not quite sure how to feel about the Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie. Making a prequel to such a classic movie is a hard nut to crack, especially after the not-so-brilliant remake from a few years back. The first teaser trailer is all over the place, but the demeanor of the ape in the last scene is just plain creepy.

Been playing some more War Inc., and while there have been patches/tweaks and updates every day, the limited content (3 maps, 2 modes) in the closed beta at the moment is making it hard to stay interested. Hoping there will some new goodies soon, but what's there is pretty good ....
