Mr. Seven

Check out Dalton now...

He looks like Brian "God" Cox!

Mindhunters starring Val Kilmer, Christian Slater, LL Cool J (add on "aka: James Todd Smith" according to the credits) and Jonny Lee Miller.

 

Not a bad film, just not a very good one. Basically the film is about 6 or 7 FBI profilers get sent to a remote island for a training excercise, but of course there is a killer among them and they start getting picked off one by one. So far, so D-Tox (horrible Stallone movie). It is better than the aforementioned Sly movie, though that wouldn't be hard.

 

The film has way too much potential, and doesn't capitalise on it enough. Don't get me wrong, it starts off very well, and there are some inventive deaths, but it falls apart a bit in a last act which features a fight scene so unrealistic it makes the WWE look like shootfighting. It's a whodunnit, and it's not hard to figure out just who done it, but it does keep you guessing and the performances are pretty good, although Jonny Lee Miller's accent (he plays a real Southern country boy) keeps slipping leading you to question why they just didn't make his character English, and maybe it's the fact that LL Cool J uses both his rap name and his "serious actor" name, but it seems to me he's trying too hard. He also has one of the most laughable one-liners in film history, but I won't spoil it for you.

 

So yeah, worth a watch, just don't expect anything groundbreaking.

Speaking of the Xbox, we got an Xbox 360 pod into work today, and I played a demo of Call Of Duty 2. The graphics are insanely good.

..and what fine company do you work for sir?I may have to pop into my local branch (of whatever), and promptly shoot my load over the carpet.

Xtravision over here, Blockbuster over your way.

Cabin Fever was an insult to the horror genre.

Care to list your reasons why rather than just making one single comment that means nothing.

I really and truly can't be bothered man.

Star Wars Battlefront II is all kinds of awesome.

I second this.

It is a tremendous game though, five stars.

Which port are you guys talking about? I was eyeing the PSP version.

PS2.

Xbox for me. Speaking of the Xbox, we got an Xbox 360 pod into work today, and I played a demo of Call Of Duty 2. The graphics are insanely good.

He did some on Byte This I think, I recall him mentioning that in one of his shoots. Fuck Heyman, Cornette is God.

Bumped, with added William Regal to Triple H in 2004:

Dear dear dear dear. Someone has lost their temper, haven't they? I hate to be the one to inform you, lad, but, Eugene isn't here this week. You honestly don't think that I would lead that lamb to slaughter, no no no no. What kind of a man do you think would let Eugene into the building last week? Rather perplexing question, isn't it? What kind of a diabolical villain do you think would tell Eugene to get involved in your match? It was me, sunshine! You see, me and you know each other very well indeed, don't we? Let me give you people a little history lesson. Eleven years ago, me and you were a tag team in WCW. In fact, I was your mentor, wasn't I? Yes indeed I was. What can I say? I mean, let's face facts - some people, people like us, we're just born naughty, we are. That's why we gravitated toward each other. And if you would have used and abused anyone else except for that poor, dear boy Eugene, I would have applauded your cunning. But for a clever man like yourself...it was very foolish to take advantage of a disadvantaged boy. Because now, you've made an enemy out of me! And if you want to fight, look no bloody further! Because I will quite gladly now, go and change into my ring attire, and I will join you back in that ring, and I will BATTLE YOU with EVERY OUNCE of VILE AND VENOM that RUNS THROUGH MY VEINS!

What is the significance of the ring wrapped around the neckband AJ Styles wears? Wedding ring? If so that's not a very clever idea...

I downloaded the music that plays out over the ending afterwards, after finally locating it. And it rules too.

Whats it called?

"Hello Zepp" by Charlie Clouser.

That whole deal kinda screamed "sequel" to me. Watched Saw last night. My mate hadn't seen it and he was peeking through his fingers. The girl. I downloaded the music that plays out over the ending afterwards, after finally locating it. And it rules too.

that aint the fear factory song is it?? if it is, its fucking awful.

No no, it's the score by Charlie Clouser.

The Warriors is good, but has yet to leave first gear for me. I'm only on chapter 4 or 5 though. It's a tad repetitive and the camera could be better, but I'm enjoying it.Star Wars Battlefront II is all kinds of awesome. Playing as Darth Vader and Darth Maul and Han Solo and Boba Fett and others is just brilliant.

Still playing MGS3 whenever I get the chance. Been tortured, escaped from cell, currently hiding under a truck.

Keep going mate, MGS 3 is an absolute classic, and the ending is brilliant.Bought The Warriors tonight (well traded in some games for it) and it's fun so far.

Wallace And Gromit - The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit

 

Not bad, but nothing special. Empire magazine gave this a full five stars, which I just cannot understand.

After completing Fahrenheit (good game just way too easy thanks to a pretty basic control system never getting any harder) I took it back and got myself Splinter Cell, Hitman: Contracts, Shadow of Memories and True Crime: Streets of LA. Anyone played them? Got any opinions?

Wasn't the third act of Fahrenheit just laughable?Hitman Contracts is repetitive but fun. I hate Splinter Cell, and True Crime was pretty poor.

Man On Fire

 

My second time seeing it, despite having bought it when it came out on dvd. I had seen it in the cinema but only watched it for the second time there. Very good story with some fine acting from the entire cast. Dakota Fanning is an incredible little actress and this for me is Denzel Washington's best performance.

 

Oh yeah, and I'm not too ashamed to say I got a wee bit emotional during it too.

 

Firstly, this isn't to be confused with any other film with the same name, or a similar name, ie: "The Aristocats". Right, with that out of the way, this is a documentary of sorts about the oldest joke in existence, the joke that starts with:

 

"A man walks into a talent office..."

 

And ends with "That's an interesting act, what do you call it??"

 

"The Aristocrats!"

 

Basically, the start and the end aren't important, but what's in between is. And what's in between is some of the most vile, filthy, offensive, taboo and downright fucked up stuff you will ever hear. A huge list of comedians ranging from Billy Connelly to Robin Williams to Andy Dick to Kevin Pollak to a whole lot more discuss the joke, it's origins, it's importance and a lot of them give their own version. Basically the whole idea is to pepper it as full of the most depraved, sick and twisted thoughts imaginable, thus making the punchline all the more silly and inappropriate.

 

Sounds boring right? A ton of comedians telling the same joke for an hour and a half? Well not only is it not boring, it really is laugh out loud hilarious. At one point I laughed so hard I cried.

 

This could be the funniest film I have ever seen. It's not for everyone, but you should see it at least once.

I got Taito Legends tonight, 29 games including Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Operation Wolf and a shitload more. All for

Lord Of War

 

Let's start off on a shocking note. I was wrong. Last week I proclaimed 'Four Brothers' as "easily the worst film of the year". And I was wrong.

 

Very wrong.

 

Lord Of War stars Nicholas Cage, Jared Leto, Ian Holm, Bridget Moynahan, Ethan Hawke and Oz's Eamonn Walker. It tells the story of Yuri Orlov (Cage), born in the Ukraine but raised in Brooklyn, he has yet to really carve out a nich

Shit I never knew that, and btw what Kennedy's finisher called?

Kennedy himself calls it the Lambaeu Leap which is the actual name for that move.

He should call it the Kennedy Assassination (copyright my housemate).

Interestingly enough one of the Smackdown recappers on either Insidepulse or 411mania calls it "The Magic Bullet". I've also seen it referred to as "The Lambeau Leap" and "The Slam Pact".

I thought Bully was better than Kids.

KidsSick film about kids doing things kids do in America, breaking virgins and smoking dope, apparently

'I have no legs, i have no legs, i have no legs'

If it's wrong to laugh at that I don't want to be right.

I'd love to see Takeshi Miike remake it (I don't know why).

In his version The Wicker Man itself would come to life and piss all over everyone while giving birth to a baby dog. Just because.

Four Brothers

 

Embarrassing revenge drama featuring unlikeable, boring and often dumb characters that you simply will not give a shit about. Some good action, but that's about it. This is little more than a tough guy vehicle for Mark Wahlberg. Avoid at all costs, it's one of the worst films of the year.
