SCUBA FO' YOU!

Pineapple Express

I didn't laugh too much (I did, just not as much as I thought I was gonna). This seems to be just like the last comedies I have seen where I watch it the first time and don't seem to laugh much. Then the more and more I watch them, I do. Same story with Superbad and Borat. This particular film however has much more action and a lot of the funny parts were shown in the trailer and it was a remarkable trailer that did its job in making me want to see this film. In hindsight, I think maybe going to rent later when it came out on DVD would probably have been a better choice. The action was crazy and intense throughout and it also another strong point for the film.

Beyond Good & Evil

I played this a while back on the Xbox but never seemed to be able to finish the last boss fight. So I picked it up on the PS2 and finally finished it this month. I felt that it ended at the perfect moment, clocking in at about 10 hours of gameplay. The cutscenes were pretty cool and Disney-esque and the whole experience was certainly above average. I though collecting everything in the game kind of wasted my time and made me feel like the game was tricking me into doing all of the side quest stuff but the dungeons and actual storyline missions were the best part of this adventure (very reminiscent of Zelda!). I thought the side characters were cool such as Uncle Payj and Double H (everyone else was vauge and forgettable). I thought after the final boss there needed to be more closure afterwards but that was all taken away when I watched what happened after the credits! Yeow! Now I hear Ubisoft is making a sequel and I am greatly interested. I am glad I spent the time and money with this game and, though imperfect, I would definitely seek out the sequel for more fun.

On a grading scale I would rate it a solid B.

In The Lab...

...working on the Aluminum Hero of Habitat.

The Dark Knight

I really dont feel I have to tell you to go see this cause I know you either did or are going to. I also know i dont have to tell you that is one of the finest films ever made in the history of cinema. I just wont waste your time. Time that could be spent getting back in line and seeing it again.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army was the finest summer film of 2008 right after WALL-E. I really enjoyed it much more than the first one (bought the three disc DVDs too). Either way, it was a beautiful looking film and did everything right you are supposed to do in an action monster movie. Ron Perlman puts on another great Hellboy performance even though just about everything he says is throwaway. But such is the style of Mike Mignola's comic. Beat stuff up and say a cool line. 

Oh, and Abe Sapien is my favorite character now in the Hellboy universe.

WALL-E

Hey! I came back from the Chicago Comic-con this monday and have been tired ever since! If you wish to check out the photos, look em up at my facespace page!

Also today my famly, Lia and I went to see WALL-E. If I could go back in time and re-watch it for the first time I so would! Everything was so right about that movie and more. Definitely one of my top 10 favorite films of ALL TIME. Heck, even my top 5!

Taker easy and within the week i should have on some of the sketches i did at the con!
