Gaming Update

Oblivion: I have started playing Oblivion again due to the fun things that in the expansion after my friend came over and wanted to play and discovered. So I have put in another 10 hours into the game getting my character up another level and getting a ton of new items (Even though I did not need any because of the wicked things I already have)

Battlefield 2: I am now ranked Corporal meaning that I have gotten two new unlocks, I chose the G3 (Assault) and the L85A1 (Medic), and I am on my way to being a Sergeant 1,083 of 2,500 points that are required. Then I will get another unlock, in which I will be choosing the P95 (Sniper). I have almost completed getting all of the basic combat badges, with only the engineer and anti-tank left to get. I also got my first Gold Star, and my First-aid and Resupply badges. Although I have not been able to put in as many hours due to exams that are coming up I have been able to get a total of 09:20:23 time in. Once the exams are over I plan on putting in quite a bit more time and I expect that I will be getting my other things that I am shooting for.

Battlefield 2 Goals: Basic Engineer Badge, Basic Anti-Tank Badge, Veteran Medic Badge, Explosives Ordinance Badge, and get my rank up to Sergeant. Within the next 10 Hours of game play.

Dirty Work [1998]

Dirty Work is about two people Mitch Weaver and Sam McKenna (played by Norm MacDonald and Artie Lange) who do other peoples dirty work for a living so that they can get the money they need for their father's heart transplant.

It is a classic comedy movie with some more crude humor for its time. I remembered renting it when it first came out and saw it again recently and so I got it. I defiantly think it was worth it. The humor is well put together and can be shared by almost everyone, even though it is quite slapstick.

Rated PG-13 for crude sexual humor and language.

7.5/10

Shooter [2007]

A marksman (Wahlberg) living in exile is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he goes on the run to track the real killer and find out who exactly set him up, and why. - IMDB

Ex-Military Gunnery Sargent Bob Lee Swagger is summoned by an organization to stop a plot to kill the president. There is good convincing acting by all of the actors, and the effects are good. There were a few small errors that I saw in the movie but thats what happens in film making, if you are not supper keen on spotting things in a movie then the chances are you will not notice them.

So far this year has been fairly dry for action movies, and this along with Next are the best I have seen all year. Definatly one that you should go out and rent if you have time.

Rated R for strong graphic violence and some language.

9/10

Knocked Up [2006]

For fun loving party animal Ben Stone, the last thing he ever expected was for his one night stand to show up on his doorstep eight weeks later to tell him she's pregnant. - IMDB

Comedy / Drama / Romance

Seth Rogen plays Ben Stone, you might remember him from 40 Year Old Virgin. He is one of 5 room-mates that are trying to get a website started where they tell you which actors show their tits in which movie and at what time into it. Not much to support a child on considering that means that he makes nothing.

The movie had its funny points, but ends up being a love story as well. They touch base on a few things that I personally have never seen in a comedy such as funny stuff in the gynecologist's office.

If you enjoyed the crude humor of 40 Year Old Virgin then this will entertain you, do not expect to laugh the whole way through however, because it is after all a comedy/romance.

Rated R for sexual content, drug use and language.

7/10

Back to Battlefield 2

Now that I have the game running smoothly on my computer I do not mind playing it again, it is a really fun game. I also found a few servers that I really like. Well any servers that is playing 24/7 Karkan with Infantry Only and FF Off. If you are good and fast enough you can get 150-200 points a round, especially as support or medic.

I made a new account for the game because my old one was hard to judge my advancement aprx time. The accounts name is l-IcIrIs-l those are "L's" that are on the outside of the name if you are looking for me.

Next [2007]

A Las Vegas magician who can see into the future is pursued by FBI agents seeking to use his abilities to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack. - IMDB

The magician named Cris Johnson played by Nicholas Cage is able to see into the 2 minutes into the future, which makes him the perfect candidate for the job of tracking down a nuclear bomb that is located somewhere in the United States. He runs into problems that he solves with his strange ability.

There are some neat visual effects that accompany the being able to see into the future as well as a few make you think moments that made the movie worth wile watching. Most people know that I am not a big fan of Nicholas Cage, even thought he lands a lot of big rolls in big movies. Due to the fact that the movie was started as a Novel and then turned into a screenplay the storyline was well drawn out, and they left the ending open for a sequel.

Defiantly a good watch, even if you are a major Nicholas Cage hater. That was the only draw back to the movie.

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violent action, and some language.

8.5/10 (Lost 1 Point for Cage)
