So my holidays were over 3 weeks or so ago. I spent most of it watching tv I got through
- Season 1-5 Two and a half men
- Season 3-4 the pretender
- Season 1-3 Seaquest
- Season 1-2 Weeds.
- Season 1ish of Batman the brave and the bold
I also saw X-men Origins: Wolverine and Star trek while on holidays both good movies.
X-men Origins: Wolverine is the story above Wolverines past and how he gets his adamantium skeleton, escapes looses his memory and all that. It was a good action flick with some great special effects and nice fight scenese. It lost some points with me because it wasn’t accurate to what I am aware of with wolverine and some of the supporting cast’s histories it gets 3.5/5 thumbs up.
star trek was great it was an excellent reboot and I think it will draw non trekkies to future star trek movies it was just well done all round. The cast did a good job of bringing traits from the original characters to the movie (especially bones) the special effects were good my only gripes are some of what they portrayed was stupidly insulting (atomspheric entry jump?) and that they had to use time travel yet again..however the purpose of the reboot was to also setup an alternate reality and time line so i guess it was needed. It gets 4.5/5 thumbs up.
I also played wolverine on the pc and beat it..twas a fun game with some ok graphics and some nice violence. I bought stalker in the last week of holidays for #10 but haven’t played it much…such a good deal thoug
I saw the hangover last Sunday it was pretty funny 3.2/5 thumbs up from me
Nana died a week ago tomorrow, I went to Sydney on Thursday and spent time with the family before attending the funeral on Friday. The service was short (30mins) and sans religious bullshit which was nice..after we went to pops for drinks and nibbles until later in the night.
I spent the next 2 days down in Sydney with family and visited other grandparents and went to nieces 1st bday party (dumb idea)
Umm yeah done.
So i have been playing much spore, several 2:30am bed times due to the game. I have in the past few days started playing The Witcher as well its an interesting RPG that uses the NWN2 engine and so far has been fun.
I finished watching S4 of b5 with Raina on monday that was good now we have S5 to watch (erk) and then I have to find something else.
I saw Wall-E on sunday it was amusing I would give it 3/5 thumbs up.
So I killed my previous PC and ordered a new one, after it frustratingly got sent to melbourne first it finally made it to me and I have put 64bit Vista on it. The Machine specs be Q9400 @ 2.66ghz, 4GB 1066mhz DDR3, Nvidia GTX260 896MB, Nice Case and 850watt power supply.
I been playing some spore on it as well as moving data around since it got here on monday. its so nice and fast. Below be my creatures.
In other me related news I have been watching b5 and playing around with linux more of late as well as watching muchos other TV especially wth new seasons starting up recently
I hate mondays and I miss the weekend.
I watched a bit of classic dr who this weekend, some sg-1 and shoot em up again it was pretty good..also played some hellgate london which is fun but shits me at times when it crashes in the middle of kicking some arse and i have to play through the same levels over and over again.
Firstly.. new blog software used to be MT now WP, congrats to the WP guys for making the import so easy.
Last night I went and saw Juno, Its a comedy about a teenage pregnancy it has good acting and great comic delivery and I really enjoyed it I give it a 4.2/5 thumbs up
I recently reinstalled my machine which allowed me to once more play games I have been playing BioShock and Hellgate London, the latter is made by the same people that made Diablo II and it is a similar kind of game with some similar things, skill tree’s normal, enhanced, rare, legendary and unique items, personal relocation devices (town portaly) the combat is more interactive and you have a few options with how to play the character there are also 6 classes. Bioshock is fun as well..
DO NOT watch the Break up..if you have already I’m sorry I too wish I could get that time of my life back..if you haven’t don’t watch it, it sucks.
In other news, I have mostly been working and gaming. I finished watching highlander the other day all 6 seasons watched..not too bad. I have been watching heroes each week as well as smallville, supernatural and eureka i have to say I hate the one episode a week thing but I LOVE not waiting until it airs in Australia three cheers for BT.
Recently bought games include Prey, GTA: Vice city, True crimes and I downloaded the SWG trial (4.4GB fun!). Prey is interesting and fun, you never really die you just goto a spirit realm where you can come back…well after a certain point in the game. GTA is well GTA its good fun with plenty of cars and violence, true crims is similar to gta. SWG is a Star Wars MMO and so far i have had fun tonnes o quests and I am a jedi…who has force lightning (all do) which is alwas good.
Oh I had 2 days of work this week sick..even though I was sick it was so nice not to goto work.
Umm thats it.
Well its been over a month since my last post soo..

Plan to write in here more frequently.
I haven’t been writing in here much lat…ever But I think i might start using it more maybe even using like a personal journal (shock horror) rather than a movie review dump.
Continue reading “I err..”
Well last week I got my new mother board and processor I now have a P4 3.2ghz the downside is the motherboard only has 2 ram slots so I have 256mb less ram than I did previously.
New machine is flying along and made bloodlines and horizons much faster.
Over the weekend I bought and watched dodgeball that movie is very funny and great for a laugh. I also went and saw elecktra at the movies it was much better than I expected with some nice choreogprahy in the fight scenes.
Umm thats about it not much else to report other than still working going out and playing games.
Well Christmas has been and gone (thankfully). I spent a week down south visited my folks over xmas and caught up with some mates while I was down there.
Back at work now unfortunately I haven’t been doing much mostly going out with mates, working and playing games (vampire the masquerade: bloodlines and the staple for the past year Horizons)
Movies..
Blade Trinity – The third in this series of movies spun off from the marvel comic book character. Its recieved mixed reviews (show me a movie that hasn’t) but I enjoyed it. Good action movie with some good fight scenese and some comedy. The guy from 2 guys and a girl (can’t remember his name) was a crack up. Wesley snipes kicked arse as he always does in the blade movies. I rate it 3/5 thumbs up.
The Incredibles – The latest pixar flick and in true pixar fashion it was well animated and full of laughs. I enjoyed this movie it had an amusing story line and was very funny. This one gets 3.5/5 thumbs up.
LOTR EE Marathon: I watched all three extended edition versions of lord of the rings 2 weeks ago. It was excellent truly amazing and by far superior to the theatrical version. Much more story is present in the extended edition than the release and it also adds more depth to the characters so Gimli appears to be more than just comic relief. 6/5 thumbs up for this one, I would recommend everyone see it.
There are others but I do not recall
