Guess what? I just bought a PS3, the title sure did through you off eh? Well, yes I most certainly do have a PS3 sitting in myliving room. Waiting to be played, I actually haven't sunk even a moment of gameplay in; I've loaded a game and checked a bunch of the manual portions and tried figuring out the console. It's weird as with how you turn the console off, and I thought that 1, 2, 3, 4 bar was the battery controllerpower (then I found out it was the controller #). The only thing that really ponders with my mind is the internet connection, my family has a wired internet connection and my laptop has a wireless internet connection, so I'm unsure why the internet isn't working. I obviously got some games, 3 actually to kick off my console purchase:

-Dead Space

-GTA IV

-Killzone 2

And now for the games I'm going to get:

-Fallout 3 (maybe)

-Ninja Gaiden Sigma (maybe)

-Lost Planet -Extreme Condition (maybe)

-Heavenly Sword

-Uncharted: Drakes fortune

-Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction

-Bioshock

-Ratchet & Clank Future: Quest for Booty

-Resident Evil 5

Andmanyother games that haven't even come out yet, if you know why my PS3 isn't working with the internet, please comment, tomorrow I will continue coverage and delve into each game. OH! And don't forget to check back on soon for a special review.

Dear viewers, sorry I haven't been blogging for a little while but, I've had school to watch out for. Last time,I said that I was working on a special review, and I certainly am. Now its going to be a review but I'm going to try and make it a fair bit more entertaining, here are two thinks I'll tell you:

-It's the worst game I have on any console

-It will be told similar to how the AVGN reviews his terrible games

Meanwhile here's a quick feature to keep you interested,

-Movies that need new entries:-

In the recent year of Hollywood all that seems to come out are@$$ horror movies, by the book comedies, and completely uninspired remakes;there's some good movies, but for the most part, it's just a bucket of fish heads. So why not reinvigorate some of the good franchises that were really fun to watch and deserve, not a shameless remake but a new entry in the series (prequel, sequel, follow-up) here is a list of movies that should return one last time and reallyshine for us and fans:

# 5 - Happy Gilmore

When I saw Adam Sandler trying to knock Bob Barker to his grave, Richard Keil getting a nail in his head, and a ex-hockey player having one hell of an anger streak while playing golf, the word, "MEMORABLE" was all I could think of. Asimple plot, funny jokes and something that's funny for all ages. Please do another; I'd really like to see Sandler VS Barker - Round 2.

# 4 - Ghostbusters

Ah ghostbusters, Aykroyd, Murray, Weaver and more memorable faces, please come back to the big screen. Maybe your sequel was OK, but there is fantastic humor when the Ghostbusters Squad is together, and I was hoping for something that satisfied myself a bit more, and come on, if you can make a marshmallow man a super villain, it would be very interesting to see what other ideas you have.

# 3 - Duel

This is not a karate or martial arts movie, this is Spielberg's first movie, the terrific movie of Duel where a driver is attempted to be killed by a trucker. Never has highway traffic been so exciting, dangerous, and aggressive, this movie deserves a sequel, and the plotline would be so easy. I miss the car chase of the 70's 80's, and 90's lets see a pro show us how to make some exhilaration out of road rage again.

# 2 - Evil Dead

While a Evil Dead remake is being worked on, I would really like to see Bruce Campbell (ahem, sequel dammit!) break out the old chainsaw and boomstick for one last standoff against evil, Campbell is such a perfect character for Ash, you don't really need special effects cause our hero has always been a daring,semi cookoo that can get himself even out of the worst circumstances.

# 1 - Cloverfield

Never have I seen such a fun movie, a perspective that just keeps up with the action and is right in there as a buildings portions soar apart narrowly missing us or frantically running as a gigantic creature tries to slurp you up this movie was awesome. It's just like playing a FPS game but now, the camera movement is super frantic, raw, ungraceful - just like how you would run around watching the event. It is awesome, just too bad it ran so short, please make a sequel.

---

PS: I know that the list is short but I also wanted to put on The Thing, Forrest Gump, andNight Of The Living Dead on but IMDB says there are movies coming out for them.

Well, it's been a little while since my last posting so, I figured that this could go up, Ibeat 'R&C: Going Commando'again (for the3rd time) and now I'm beating the original. I'll havea suprise reviewcoming up soon enough for you folksbut until then, enjoy this quick movie review:

Superhero movies have a tendency of being difficult to adapt to the big screen because they have so many details from their comic side that they have to cut a bunch out to fit a sizable screening time, but they alsorarely take placein our world so it's sometimes difficult to associate onesort ofcause and effect from them with us.

Watchmen has that issue somewhat as well, there are some strange portions about it. But for a movie that has been in the planning for 20 years, its alright. In this envisioning of Earths' timeline, superheroes have been growing up with us for quite some time and they are now starting to lay themselves to rest, in the 1980's. Meanwhile, USA and USSR (remember, this is theold Russia) are verging onnuclear war. And so something must be done as the movie explores their pasts and attempts to get those that are left back into action.

The issues with watchmenare that there is a really lot of time spent with backgrounds, too much to be told and it runs 3 hours. There honestly should have been some portions cut out, there's no true villain which always sucks, and the musical queues that come along are a bit out of place and silly. As for the pro's, the backgrounds are good for a while, it has solid production valuations, captures the comic feel pretty well, has some really violent gore and excellent action sequences, and a little bit of dry humor for relief.

Overall, I'd rent it; it's a good compromise for a fan movie with enough approachability for general audiences though it isn't anything special.

7/10

Some people just don't have opinions. Like TWiSTEDmerc.
TWiSTEDmerc must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could TWiSTEDmerc possibly have for not rating a single film?
