| Vertical Limit PG-13 I want to see a movie, so I went over to the dollar theater to see Vertical Limit. I wanted to get popcorn, but they freaks there, charge twice as much the tickets. I sat down watched the previews for future movie references, then watched the movie for at least two hours. It started with surprises and ended with even more of them. The plot was pretty simple. Girl climbs mountain, she gets stuck on the mountain, and then a search party kills themselves trying to get her. The movie is really not as blunt as it might sound. For example, you think everyone is going to die by falling off the mountain but really they die many different and creative deaths. I found my legs shaking through the tense scenes and resisted the urge to bite my fingernails. It�s also very educational, well, at least I learned some things. Like nitro is very delicate. The graphics were good except for an avalanche and a helicopter scene. Over all, it seemed very realistic or you don�t notice if it isn�t unless you mountain climb. It�s like Titanic, without the morons. |
| Escape from Monkey Island IV If you ever played first the first games you�ll know instantly this Monkey Island is the best one yet. The graphics are 3-D and the speed is fine if your computer is decent. For those of you who never played the first three let me explain how this works. You are a pirate who has Demon Ghost Zombie Pirate LeChuck desperately wanting to marry your wife. You solve impossible puzzles that you�ll most likely cheat so you don�t spend a whole week figuring them out and at the same time you�ll be bombarded with jokes that you probably won�t get unless you played at least the first game. Play this game. You will like it more than any other computer you have ever played before. |
| Jurassic Park 3 PG-13 First of all I want to say I�m sick of previews. They ruin movies so badly. In comedies they reveal half of the punchlines and in action movies, they show most of the stunts and junk. I�m just getting sick of seeing a movie for five bucks where nothing is exciting or funny. Okay, back to the review. The plot sucks (but so did the Lost World�s plot). There is only a small plane full of passengers that can get eaten. The Lost World killed off about half of a small city, and it worked. Another thing that ticked me off about JP3 was that the t-rex wasn�t the baddest dino out there. I mean what the heck. Oh well, this is still one kickin� movie(what am I saying). Check it out. Movie Tip: Watch out for the chicks outside the theaters. |
| Reality Shows Survivor was the best reality show ever, but it brought out so many other crappy shows that you really want to hate Survivor for its spawning of stupid shows. Big Brother came next teaching us that CBS can screw up, and when they do, they do it bad. Last summer we also had Temptation Island. That show was great if you don�t mind that it sucked. The Mole was actually cool. My friends got way into it though. Boot Camp, Big Brother 2, Fear Factor.�all stupid. Now we have Murder in Small Town X. Okay, has anyone actually watched this show�yeah I didn�t think so. Well I hope these TV networks learn a valuable lesson: Reality shows aren�t meant to be watched by humans. Maybe an ape, wait not even an ape. |
| Grand Theft Auto 3 Have you ever wanted to be a criminal? I know you all have had fantasies about that so I�ll just go on. You start the game out as a criminal fresh out of the slammer. You start out by going around the thriving city checking up on local gangs to see if they have any dirty jobs for you like: driving the getaway cars, rigging someone�s car, or taking out leaders in a gang war. If you�re looking for variety this is the right game. You can put out fires as fire engines, stop crime with a cop car, find some hidden packages, jump buildings with your fancy stolen sports cars, or you might even possibly (but not too likely, hehehe) take out some innocent peds with your fists, a bat, pistols, a shotgun, uzis, flamethrower, or grenades. You could also run them down with any of the vehicles in the game like: cars, trucks, semis, buses, way too many taxis, cop cars, ambulances, hummers, military(yeah that includes tanks), boats, and there is even a plane. The graphics are awesome and the sound is equally impressive with nine different radio stations that are very entertaining. This is the coolest game ever and its on PS2. If only it were made for the Atari. |
| Snow Day I�m pretty sure most of the people reading this have no idea what this movie is and for good reason. A. it�s like two years old and B. it was made by the same company who made Rugrats, yeah Nic. I�m not sure why so many people didn�t see this movie. I was watching it the other night when I realized that this movie was so much funnier then some so called comedies. Well enough blabber. Main point the little dude is funny. Other main point �Stupid Boy� gets together with �Bucky� instead of �Hottie.� I mean what the heck. Who in their right mind would take "Bucky" when you have you have a choice of the two. Oh yeah, friends are more important then hot girls. I don�t think so!!!!!!!!! |
| Black Hawk Down Hey it�s a war movie! Not sure what the war was called, but it�s deffinately a war movie. I�m not even sure what�s going on 90% of the time. I think some Army dudes go to take out two bad guys. Not sure about that, but anyways, uh, one of the choppers crashes in the city. Now for the rest of the movie the good guys send in more guys to rescue any of the crash survivors. Another crashes, some more guys get left behind, and a bunch die. It really was a good movie though. The problem was, I kept on thinking. I hate when I start thinking during a movie. I hate when I think, period. Ribbit. Oh yeah, I�m supposed to compare this to the Planet of the Apes. Black Hawk Down is a bizillion times better then PotA. Just for the fact that you aren�t going to question why you saw the movie after it�s over. |
