We All Need Mirrors To Remind Ourselves Who We Are

The weekend is over, and so is PAX East, which unfortunately did not result in many news items.

We had a busy movie weekend, and yesterday's "Battle: Los Angeles" did not disappoint. It is an excellent action movie, some weak attempts at jokes/puns not withstanding. We also watched Kitchen Nightmares, Hawaii Five-0, Bones, The Event, and the last episode of The Cape, which is only available online.

People Don't Want A Hero, They Want To Eat Cheeseburgers, Play The Lotto And Watch Television

We saw The Adjustment Bureau yesterday, and it was quite good. The chemistry between the two main actors (Matt Damon and Emily Blunt) was amazing. Comparisons to Inception are warranted, but only in terms of the type of movie, because Christopher Nolan's masterpiece is in a totally different league. Today we're heading out to the theater again to see Battle: L.A., which, according to box office predictions, is the #1 movie this weekend. Let's hope it lives up to expectations.

In case you had not yet noticed, we've been giving away download codes (PSN, XBLA, Steam) on our Twitter feed for various games, and I wanted to send congrats to the Beyond Good & Evil HD winners, especially this guy for being creative.
