Dead Space 3?

A rumor has recently popped up about Dead Space 3. What is the rumor? Well, unfortunately, only of the game's existence. I really hope that this rumor proves to be true. I loved the first two games (and Dead Space: Extraction) and can't wait to see a third!

Note: I haven't actually played any of the games. I don't have enough co-ordination in my fingers to use any controller except the ones for the Wii and Kinect. I also haven't bought Dead Space: Extraction. However, I have watched Let's Plays and have kept up with the series.

Dream House (2011)

Title: Dream House

Director: Jim Sheridan

Starring: Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and Naomi Watts

Rated: PG-13

Released: 2011

Personal Rating: 4.5/5

Oscars: None

Basic Plot: Soon after moving into their seemingly idyllic new home, a family learns of a brutal crime committed against former residents of the dwelling.

The Trailers
One reason that people don't like Dream House is the fact that the trailer gave a lot away. The one or two trailers for this movie I saw did give a little away. Especially saying Will Atintin is Peter Ward. However, if you didn't watch a lot of trailers you should have a better enjoyment of the movie.

A Messy Script
I know what went on behind the scenes. How the making of this movie was a big mess. However, I like the final product. I'm sure it could've been better. But, as is, it's nothing to complain about.

MPD
I understand that the name of this mental disorder has changed, but I will always refer to it as MPD (aka Multiple Personality Disorder). I love movies about those who don't have a good grip on reality. Such as Secret Window, Total Recall, and Shutter Island among others. Will (Daniel Craig) suffered so much from killing his family that he creates a fantasy world in which they are still alive. However, I don't consider it a twist. This is because it's easy to see within five to ten minutes of the movie. But, to make up for that, there is a final twist revealed at the end.

Final Thoughts
I like this movie. Daniel Craig, horror movie, Rachel Weiz, and Naomi Watts in a film together! Plus the story unfolds at a good pace. Even when I guessed what was happening it still managed to send chills through my mind. The scene where Will/Peter goes back to his home to find out what happens rock. Because Will/Peter is actually questioning himself.

Prometheus Viral Video (David)

I can't wait until Prometheus comes to theaters. If you get in my way, be prepared for the consequences.

These viral videos for the movie aren't helping. I love evil robots and Prometheus has Michael Fassbender (aka Magneto) as one.

This viral video shows a robot that appears kind but there's something underneath. The fact that it can tell human emotions but can't feel them himself is revealing. How he reacts shows he can feel and you can tell that he lies at certain points.

All in all a great performance. In my opinion, robots aren't one sided nor can they be in any type of fiction. And a subtle performance like Fassbender is doing is the way to go.

CISPA aka The New SOPA

I am very glad that SOPA didn't pass. I am grateful for all the action that was taken to prevent it. Now there is CISPA that focuses more on the cyber threats. However, it could be just as deadly.

I understand that cyber threats are VERY real (I'm not new to the interwebs, after all), but the wording of the bill is vaguely worded.

Here are some videos discussing it:



NOTE: This is what I've seen so far today. So, if interested in the subject, research on your own. I might do another post on this with an expanded view of my opinions.

Camerah (In Real Life)

Series: Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Pairing: Sarah Connor and Cameron

Type: Non-Canon

Sub-Pairing: Sarah Connor and Derek Reese

Type: Semi-Canon

Plot: Sarah Connor is in love with Cameron, but the Machine doesn't share her feelings. Sarah thinks that she'll have to live without a lover. That all changes when Derek Reese comes along.

Battleship Review (Film Brain)

This is a review by Film Brain (real name Matthew Buck). When a movie comes out early in England (where he lives) he'll do a review. While he is a MUCH more harsh critic than me, I can still always take away something from his reviews.

From his review I can see that it'll be one I'm most likely going to see on DVD, most likely.

The reason: LIAM NEESON DOESN'T FIGHT THE ALIENS!

You're telling me you have a fucking badass and you don't use him! Then why have him there at all!

I admit the badness of the movie doesn't scare me off, as I will see a movie because it's bad.

Whether it's bad or not...I'll wait until I see it to give it my own review.
