Sinister

I found out earlier today that I'm going to be a father sometime next year. My wife and I are very excited.

If any of you plan on seeing Year One, don't. At least wait for it to come out on DVD or for it to be shown on TV. I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but it isn't exactly a good one either. It's the kind of movie you don't want to pay full price to see, and if you do see it you wouldn't want to see it again. It's mildly entertaining and mildly funny. But that's about it. Save your money.

I also saw Hangover, and must say that so far it is the funniest movie this year.

I saw Transformers 2 also. Which should really be called "The Adventures of Shia Lebauf and the Giant Robots From Outerspace." The humans had way too much screen time, and not enough Autobots and Decepticons. After all, that's who the movie is supposed to be, or should be about. There were times the movie dragged, like the big battle at the end. There were also times where the comedy seemed forced.

I guess I can put this in Randomness... I was listening to the radio and a familiar song came on which made me think back to 1998-1999. It conjured up memories of games (Rebellion), music, school, family, and friends (some of which I haven't spoke to in years). It brought back a thousand memories of good times. Life was simpler then. The world seemed new and exciting. Now I've graduated, got a career, and a ball n' chain attached to me leg. Does anyone else get these kind of blues? I miss yesterday...

I gave Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop a try, and I just could not get into it. It was for the Wii, and from what I understand it has some differences from its X-box predecessor. I think having to fight zombie Poodles and Parrots ruined the game for me. Anyway, looking forward to RE5 next week!

I saw The Wrestler last night, and it's one of my favorite movies this year. Great movie. Sad, but great. It does a good job of showing what some of the people in that business go through.

Just got back from seeing Mall Cop. Well, what can I say...blah. It had some funny moments. It was more cute than funny. Was it an ok movie? Yeah. Would I pay full price to watch it again? No. Would I buy it on DVD? No.

For Christmas I got the following on DVD: Batman Begins The Dark Knight Hellboy Hellboy 2: The Golden Army 300 The Incredible Hulk Hancock Reign Over Me Kindergarten Cop Resident Evil: Degeneration

For Christmas I got a couple of games... Left 4 Dead (PC) Prince of Persia (PS3) Okami (Wii) I also got some money which I put towards Resident Evil 5, which comes out this March.

Ok, I just had one of the creepiest, yet coolest dreams ever. I dreamed that the world was overrun by zombies. In the beginning, we were being informed on the news about some strange new disease. Next thing you know, everyone is bording up their homes as zombies start pouring into our neighborhood. In one part of the dream we all escaped to this fortified hotel where we were supposed to be safe, but somehow one of our fellow residents got infected and we had to evacuate. During the process I got separated from my wife, only to find out later that her and some of the other survivors made it to a fortified shopping mall (like Dawn of the Dead). Somehow I managed to find a working van, drove to the mall and while doing so plowed through undead hordes. When I got there, it was too late as the mall had been overrun and they had got my wife. Depressed and accepting defeat, I walked up to the top floor of the mall where one of the stores was some sort of disco dance floor. (What it's doing in a mall I don't know). Behind me I can hear the dead following me up. When I reach the room I take a seat and realize that across the room is zombie sitting in one of the chairs. It appears that it's just sitting there listening to the music too. It saw me but didn't make an immediate move to attack me. However, I can hear the groaning of the other zombies as they lumber up the stairs toward us. That was the end of the dream.

For all the Legend of Zelda fans...

Have you all seen the video for I Get It by Chevelle? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsyNNKb4wLg LOL, talk about getting back at your boss.

I watched the original Planet of the Apes movie the other day. This movie is an awesome classic, and I love the ending. It blows away that 2001 remake.

Did you all see the Gungan that was frozen in carbonite in the trophy room? Hehehe...
