King Kong (2005)

What's a guy gonna do after fucking up a good portion of the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Take a 1933 classic and give it a twist by having King Kong duke it out with T-Rex and the rest of the cast flee from a pack of velociraptors. The eye candy was excellent but I think Peter Jackson tried to humanize the king of the jungle a bit much with his relationship with the Naomi Watts character. Another mixed rating as the visual effects make it worth the $9 admission and with its three hours in length, make sure you bring the catheter & pee bag.

Activision - GUN™

Typically I don't write game reviews but this one I think warrantet it. Activision's "Gun" had a lot of potential and still does if they would give more of the free game play that Rockstar Games applied to the Grand Theft Auto series or
Max Payne. If this game had been released in 2001 and on Playstation I wouldn't bitch but come on.. You can almost tell that they cared more about the blood and gore factor to attract the kiddies rather than giving full game play to the buyer. You basically end up with two towns and a huge amount of empty space between the two. The storyline isn't bad but there is a certain degree of ridiculousness that they apply to make the game more difficult. I give the game a mixed thumb ranking but the scenes in the game where you get to use the cannon and howitzer are really awesome; hell even the secret gun you get once you complete all of the missions is fun although I really think they should beef up some of the side missions and expand the board with a town or two more. Maybe hide osme of the guns throughout the board so it doesn't take you forever to save up with your $10 wage to buy the really cool shit.

The Ringer

This movie almost looks too good to be true; Johnny Knoxville taking on retards in an athletic competition. Too bad this won't have the same ball smashing fun as Jack Ass or the CKY: Camp Kill Yourself videos. I'll post a review when I get around to seeing it... maybe..

My Daily Mantra

This will help anyone get through the day. Screw watching CNN or Fox News. This has more interesting commentary than anything that ever comes out of Lou Dobb's mouth.

And just in time for Christmas..

Looks like VMware is opening itself up this Christmas to provide a free tool to allow anyone to run VM session and share it across many people. Will need to investigate later (like I ever have time anymore)..
