GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Aug 7, 2009

Ok so alot's happened in the past week, I know I said I'd be on around Wednesday and I wasn't so I decided to type this at 10 at night tonight (Friday). Ill get to everyone else's blogs over the weekend cause I have nothing to do this weekend. But I can tell you about my past week, or the parts of it I havent blocked out!

Last Friday I went to Mayhem Festival. Bands that were there were Slayer, Trivium, Killswitch Engage, God Forbid, and All That Remains, that I liked. Bullet for My Valentine had to miss a few days, so Mushroomhead filled in, rather have seen Bullet but the others were great. Have to say Killswitch and Trivium put on the best shows, and Im not just saying it because their awesome my favorites that were there. Triviums set list wasnt the best, but only because they only got a 30 minute set, but they still rocked. Killswitch had a fairly long one, and of course played My Curse and their cover of Holy Diver. Overall its the best concert I've been to, would have been even better if some of the bad bands were replace with Disturbed and Lamb of God, but it was still great.

Monday night I went with some friends and saw Funny People. First I have to say that the movie is very long, 10 mins shy of 2 1/2 hours, and of course I had to pee most of it, but I stayed. And I stayed because, like his other movies, it rocked. Im not going to list any major spoilers or anything, just give a rough description and my opinion about it.

It was easily the most dramatic of all Seth Rogens comedy films. I knew it was more dramatic than the others, but the amount was more than I thought. But dont get me wrong, drama films are good, and it still had alot of comedy and funny jokes. Plots basically simple, Seth Rogens character Ira is an unknown comedian who lives with Jonah Hills character Leo and Mark, played by Jason Schwartzman. Adam Sandler's character George is a very successful comedian/actor and learns he is dying. He discovers Ira and hires him to write jokes. With the help of Ira his life gets better and he starts to like life more. He starts to make contact with his ex-grilfriend Laura, played by the awesome director of most Seth Rogen movies (Judd Apatow) wife Leslie Mann, but she is married and has a family. George learns that he most likely will not die, so he has to decide how to use his second chance. While that all sounds dramatic, like I said there's plenty of comedy through the whole movie, starting with the old Adam Sandler prank calls to the last scene. It also doesnt end super happy like alot of movie do, with is good to see sometimes because its different. I dont really Adam Sandler movies very much, but I enjoyed it. The reviews for it are also pretty high by the way. Overall so I dont give much away, its great, but really long, so pee before you see it.

I also bought the fairly new game Prototype for the 360, kinda on a spur of the moment because I usually dont buy very many games. But this game is great and I'm enjoying it. I'm close to the end, I only have a few missions left but Im gonna wait until my next blog to fully review it. But the game is great. Just to briefly review it, your character is a shapeshifting monster bad***. The game style is similar to Assassian's Creed, where you can run up walls, and have a blade, plus your character wears a hood. But as you'll see in my proper review, this games better.

So as I'm typing this I watched the season premire of the final season of Monk. First I have to say, I only started watching Monk exactually two years ago with the Season 6 premire, now its on 8. So for me the show is still fresh and new so I'm not ready for it to end, but it will end, since it only has 15 episodes left with no breaks. So in a short time I'll simply be left with a show I think ended to early (though I know it didnt because it is old) and I'll have the repeats I've seen so much in the past two years. But the premire was pretty good, I think the episodes around Seasons 4-6 were the best, and I actually didn't really like Season 7 last year but during the marathon of it today I really enjoyed them so now I like it. But so far Season 8's off to a good start, I tried guessing the criminal and got it wrong, so I guess that means they still have good plotlines. But now Im off to watching Pscyh which is starting its 4th season, and like Monk I started two years ago with the premire of Season 2, so I'm also not ready for it to end, but I'd say it'll have another season or two at least.

Like I said, I'll get to everyone elses blogs this weekend, so I hope everyones doing well. Im just kinda sick right now, dont know whats wrong just had a headache all day and it wont go away, so Im just gonna watch Psych and go to sleep. Might see Orphan tomorrow but I dont know, prouble wont be very good.
