BJ Blazkowicz = John Cena?

Lots of random shit this week. Some Burnout Revenge, some Metro and even some Wolfenstein. Hell, I somehow got a Netfllix achievement also. Burnout isn't quite as great as I once remembered it to be but hey, it was 5$ and it's hard to feel bad about spending that much. I've paid more for worse meals that left a worse taste in my mouth. Metro is on and off. It can get really frustrating at some point and at others it's ok, it's never that great. Wolfenstein is the best of this weeks litter. Decent story for what it, graphics look great and the gameplay is fun. And as the title says, the main character looks like John Cena. Now enough talk, have to go shoot some Nazis.

Battlefield Earth

Today I finished Battlefield Bad Company 2. It was an ok game, but it's not something I would ever purchase. Good thing it was part of games with gold, lol. So below are the cheevos I've obtained in it. At least they were fairly generous with that. I just can't stand when games are stingy. Like when you've played 3 hours and still got nothing to show for it.

Fuck Mortal Kombat II

When you say very easy, it should be very easy. For reason Ed Boon didn't understand this back in 1993 because he's made Mortal Kombat II fucking impossible. I've gotten to Shang Tsung and he just cannot be beaten. He knows every move you're going to make and has a counter ready. Somehow he can throw from the other end of the world. I did what felt like a thousand matches and could not beat him. So frustrating, I do not know how I will finish. On the brightside there's Bad Company 2, while not great can be entertaining in small doses. Darksiders 2 just became available for free on Games with Gold, so i'll be playing that somewhere down the line.

I'm pretty late putting this up, but there's a good reason for it. I don't want Hellraiser on here anymore, and finally a few days ago I finished that damn series. The rest of the month is mostly going to be cleanup of things leftover and adding a few little things. My goal is to get things squared off by November, possibly start to review another film series then. In the meantime i'll punish myself by watching Asylum movies. So terrible...

August 3: Ghost Rider
August 10: Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
August 17: St-Elmo's Fire
August 24: Jerry Maguire
September 7: Pope of Greenwich Village
September 21: Trading Places
October 5: 3 count by Jimmy Korderas
October 12: Star Trek : The Next Generations Season 1
October 19: Asylum - Attila
October 26: Asylum - Sherlock Holmes

Movie Reviews #11 - Hellraiser: Revelations (2011)

Plot: (from imdb.com) In this ninth installment of the Hellraiser franchise, two friends discover a puzzle box in Mexico, which opens a gateway to Hell. Before long, dermatological nightmare Pinhead has returned to make the lives of everyone in his way miserable.

Review: They really did save the worst for last. This movie is so bad there isn’t much to say about it. I can’t believe I managed to make it through this entire series with my wits. These movies are bad, but this one is by far the worst. It looks like it was filmed at a producer’s home over a weekend. The plot is just terrible. A lot of the material is a rip-off of the first one. Just don’t bother. As much as you may want to complete the series, don’t. Hellworld, the previous installment, brought some sort of dignity to the series and it could have ended there. But no, they had to leave a sour taste in our mouth so that no one would ever want another Hellraiser movie again.

Score: 2/10

Movie Reviews #10 - Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)

Plot: (from imdb.com) Gamers playing a MMORPG based on the "Hellraiser" franchise find their lives endangered after being invited to a rave whose host intends to show them the truth behind the Cenobite mythos.

Review: Here we are at the 8^th Hellraiser movie I’ve reviewed so far. There have been some good times (very few) and some bad times (a lot of them). In part 8, they try to take advantage of the whole online gaming craze going on at the time. World of Warcraft had recently started up and there were all these reports of people staying locked in their rooms for days playing online. For some reason someone thought this related to Hellraiser. So does it work? In all honesty, it ended up kind of working out. This is one of the better Hellraiser movies and no one is more surprised than me.

                The story revolves around a group of friends obsessed with the Hellraiser MMORPG. One of them takes it too far and ends up dying. A couple of years later the other friends get invited to a Hellraiser related party where bad shit starts happening. Let’s get one thing out of the way, the Hellraiser “game” is not a game at all. It’s a flash animation with text that they try to pass off as a game. I don’t know why they couldn’t have made a little something that looked decent. It’s really lame and anyone who has ever played a videogame more than 3 seconds would call them on their bullshit. 

                Now on to the party. Lance Henriksen is the host and shows everybody around the house. Weird stuff starts happening afterwards and people are dying. At first it doesn’t make any sense. What does Pinhead have to with this? No one ever opened the box? As the movie goes along things start being explained. And to my great surprise, it was a good twist. It both a Hellraiser movie and not a Hellraiser movie. It is best not explain and to let you watch the movie should you be interested. Hellworld turns out to be one of the better entries in the series because in the end they made sense in the world they are in, which is a problem most Hellraiser movies have. If you wait to the end it will make sense.

Score: 6.5/10
