All this movie did was make me Yawn
Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 19 October 2008 04:18
(A review of Stay Alive)Stay Alive is about a video game which comes to life you play the game and you die the same way you were killed in the video game. The story to the movie is actually really good but the down fall to me is the acting and the death scenes could have seen far more interesting instead they do look a bit cheap. The video game is based in the 17th Century the women is known as The Blood Countess. The gamers who are playing the game no nothing about it as the game features no information on it what so ever. I am guessing the people in this are teens and all they want to do is just play the game which leads them to beating the game and finding a way to defeating The Blood Countess. A lot of people may have enjoyed this movie and found it interesting but to me it's nothing special at all and to be honest this movie could of been a whole lot better. As for the DVD I bought of it featured no DVD extras at all.  0 comments, Reply to this entry
The Night WWE goes Extreme
Posted : 1 year, 1 month ago on 7 October 2008 05:09
(A review of WWE - One Night Stand 2008)One Night Stand started off as an ECW event that WWE produced in 2005 which came back under the ECW banner in 2006 both were at the Hammerstein Ballroom, New York. In 2007 WWE put all three brands together on the Pay Per Views so now it would be WWE One Night Stand and hosted every year but not not the Hammerstein Ballroom. 2007 of One Night Stand was a weak show it never did beat the first 2 events from 2005 and 2006 due to it having weak matches but 2008 of One Night Stand did improve on by a lot. So let's now get into this review Falls Count Anywhere Match Jeff Hardy vs. Umaga The falls count anywhere match this was a great opener and what I did enjoy about this match is both Umaga and Jeff Hardy pull off some great moves. I haven't seen a match that has been outside of the arena in ages and this reminds me an Hardcore title match. The highlight of this match was Jeff Hardy sliding down the banister on the stairs then doing a cross body on Umaga anything could of gone wrong there and it was just exciting to watch. The swanton bomb from the top of the truck was quite awesome I just didn't think much of the camera angles. (What I find annoying is that Jeff shows great skill in matches but he gets WWE Championship shots and WWE screw him out of it and make him lose) Singapore Cane Match Big Show vs. John Morrison vs. Tommy Dreamer vs. Chavo Guerrero vs. CM Punk I didn't think I would enjoy this match but I thought it was fantastic for some odd reason Big Show did make me laugh. This is also the match where Big Show's face above his eye is cut by John Morrison knocking him and hitting his face on the corner of the steel steps. The part that I did enjoy was Big Show getting mad and just getting the Singapore Cage and just hitting Miz and Morrison over and over. A great part of the match was Morrison trying to dive at Big Show from the ring to the out side where Big Show just hits him with the cane. Very entertaining match indeed. "I Quit" Match Melina vs. Beth Phoenix All I can say about this match is it's just shocking the way Beth just bends Melina's body the thing is I never did hear her say she Quits though it would of been great for Melina to win. Stretcher Match Shawn Michaels vs. Batista I will checking out this match when I feel like it I never watched it as I am not that keen on Batista I couldn't care less about him and I think Shawn Michaels is pretty good. But the main reason is I am just not a fan of the stretcher match I find them quite boring to be honest. First Blood Match John Cena vs. JBL The first blood match is the worst match on the event the Divas match is even better. This match is to slow which to be honest it is worth a skip. Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Championship Triple H vs. Randy Orton Another injury appears on the event Big Show gets hurt now Randy Orton does. This is the very match were Orton breaks his collarbone due to a bad fall. The match is not as long of course the thing that annoys me is although Randy gets injured these people at the event boo him and don't cheer him. One guy tries talking hard you see Orton say something back then the ref just shoving the guy back it's quite funny actually. Check out the part where Orton tells the crowed to shut the f**k up (But WWE have edited it out on the DVD but it may be on youtube somewhere). Even though Orton breaks his collarbone Triple H still knocks him back down by the sledgehammer. The match is not bad but the people could of shown some support for Randy Orton. TLC Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Edge vs Undertaker This was one of the main reasons why I bought this event on DVD because I never buy the event I don't have Sky Sports so I have to wait at least 4 to 3 month to watch this as it takes ages to come on DVD. Edge and Undertaker without of a doubt is one of the best rivalry's of 2008 it will go in the history records for sure. This is Undertaker's first TLC match and he done pretty good but Edge brought out some of the best of the Undertaker. There is a lot of people going threw the tables Hawk and Ryder, Edge and Undertaker going threw 4 tables. This is also the match where if Undertaker loses he would leave WWE forever but we all knew he was just taking a break. This is a classic match and is the match of the night. DVD Extras: 4 Historical Undertaker Moments • Survivor Series 1990 • King of the Ring 1998 • Royal Rumble 2007 • WrestleMania 23 The DVD extras feature 4 highlights of Undertaker moments which are nothing interesting as I have seen these before and these last for about 1 minute or just under each. The DVD could of shown some footage of Big Show's eye, it should of shown Randy Orton getting attended to after breaking his collar bone. What about the great segments with Edge on SmackDown why won't WWE put some of them in or even interviews it's annoying a great event with bad DVD Extras. It always seems that WWE are lazy with the extras. I highly recommend this DVD as it does show some great wrestling action just the DVD Extras. The shocking thing though that the British Board of Film Classification give it a 15 rating I thought this would of at least got a an 18 due to some of the shocking stuff in the event and Big Show getting injured. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
TNA is getting better
Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago on 20 September 2008 06:17
(A review of "TNA Impact! Wrestling")Well I am starting at like TNA and to be honest I still think WWE is the best but I am getting sick of the toilet humor on WWE it is getting me annoyed (I am talking about Jesse and Festus and another boring tag team by the name of priceless WWE does need Edge back). I am starting to like TNA after playing the game well TNA does have fast pace wrestling and great talent on the show. My favorites on TNA AJ Styles, Kurt Angle, Christian Cage, Booker T and Awesome Kong as well as more. The TNA knockouts is something that is great because TNA's women are not all eye candy it is based on wrestling skill which TNA have some women with great skill ones like Awesome Kong, Roxxi, ODB. The show reminds me very much of WCW which I was a big fan of that show while that was airing. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
This is not a song contest it's political
Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago on 6 September 2008 06:50
(A review of The Eurovision Song Contest)The Eurovision Song Contest honestly this show is a waste of time not only does it have terrible music but it is also fixed. Something though I admit I did like Ukraine with Verka Serduchka - Danzing from 2007 that did make me laugh. The UK will never win due to political voting due to Europe hating us which I do hate the rest of Europe due to having a problem with my own country if they stop hating us then I would respect them. The truth is the UK song's have never been good you hear artist which have flopped before in the UK charts the thing is we never get anyone who is popular. Malta and Ireland are really the only 2 countries who vote for the UK. The thing is what is the point in the UK entering Eurovision it does not matter who it is or how good or how famous we still will lose the show. The countries of Europe tend to pick countries who they are neighbours with and not on the song. It has also been proven that Eurovision do block votes from other countries. Terry Wogan even admitted the truth in 2008 and said he may leave due to it been no longer a singing contest but political. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
The show is the same thing all the time
Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago on 5 September 2008 08:57
(A review of "Eggheads")Eggheads is one of the worst gameshows I have seen it features 5 quiz champions who have won many quiz shows like Mastermind, Who Want's to be a Millionaire, The Weakest Link etc. The 5 of them join up to take on a bunch of normal people and they have to beat the Eggheads and if they do lose the prize money goes up. I do hate this show due to the fact it is the same thing The Eggheads winning all the time just really makes the show boring I mean come on bring back 24 hour Quiz, Blockbusters, 100% or Catchphrase those were entertaining. Dermot Murnaghan presents the show and he is just dull BBC never seem to aire anything good lately that's why I find ITV and Channel 4 better. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Parodius
Posted : 1 year, 2 months ago on 2 September 2008 05:14
(A review of Gokujou parodius (It's Parodius! - From Myth to Laughter))I just found this classic gem about 2 month ago and I got to say this is a really enjoyable game and I don't really like Horizontal scrolling shooter games but this one is just fun. Parodius is a Parody of the Gradius series which was also developed by Konami. Konami also use the characters from there other such as Antarctic Adventure and Twinbee. In this game you play as Vic Viper who is in the Gradius series, Octopus, Twin Bee and Pentarou which is a penguin. There are many different bosses in the game such as a giant cat, some big girl who looks like a dancer from Las Vegas, a big bald American eagle and plenty more which are all made as a joke. This game has good graphics for it's time which it was about 1990 it was made. I really do recommend finding this game and giving it is funny and fun to play. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
"Dancing on Ice" review
Posted : 1 year, 3 months ago on 20 August 2008 02:32
(A review of "Dancing on Ice")Dancing on Ice is a show where Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean teach a bunch of so called Celebrity's to dance on Ice the problem is that they get called Celebrity's when most have never appeared on our TV's for ages. The show has the so called Celebrity's dancing along with Judges to rate there score after the viewers vote on who they want to stay. One of the Judges does act like Simon Cowell the judges name on this show is Jason. Once the votes are collected there are 2 left which the Judges say which one goes. My point with this show sometimes it is a scam and ITV and other channels have done it and there are to many types of programs like this really it just gets boring. BBC has Strictly come Dancing which is just another piece of trash on TV much like this so ITV have to that of a show they could compete with it. People may find it good to watch that they are dancing on Ice but once you have seen it once it's pretty much the same thing all the time and after that it gets boring. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
WWE Summerslam 2008 Review
Posted : 1 year, 3 months ago on 18 August 2008 09:08
(A review of WWE: Summerslam 2008)August 17, 2008 Summerslam took place at Indianapolis, Indiana and this event was good better then last years. The thing is though they advertise Rey Mysterio at the start of the show but yet he was not on the show at all. So anyway lets get into the event Montel Vontavious Porter VS Jeff Hardy This was a good match by both men and the ending just shocked me the match really did show how good MVP is but the ending I never wished happen with Shelton helping MVP to pick up the win. 6.5/10 Santino Marella and Beth Phoenix VS Kofi Kingston and Mickie James - Intercontinental Championship and Womens Championship on the line. I can hardly call this a good match Santino hardly does nothing he acts like a girl he was pathetic because Beth did most of the work during the match. Now the match with Beth doing The Glam Slam I think it is to Mickie James. Now I wanted Mickie and Kofi to win but Beth is a good wrestler and she did some pretty good moves in the match. Now Santino is a joke and should not of got the Intercontinental championship. 5/10 Mark Henry (with Tony Atlas) VS Matt Hardy - ECW Championship This match was crap only lasting 32 seconds all because Tony Atlas gets Mark Henry disqualified in order for Mark Henry to keep the ECW Championship. This was just Bull S*it and really why advertise this and why let it happen at a PPV its just pathetic. Though at the end the Jeff helps Matt so that was good. The match gets 1/10 while the part with the Hardys gets 4/10 I would of liked to have seen more of the Hardys. CM Punk VS John "Bradshaw" Layfield - World Heavyweight Championship I could not care less what happened I don't really care about CM Punk I don't mind him but this match for me was more like a sleeper. 2/10 Triple H VS The Great Khali - WWE Championship I knew this match was going to be horrible and it was Triple H was getting beat up most of the way threw the match all of a sudden Triple H does a pedigree and Khali was going it looked pathetic and even the people were shouting to Khali you can't wrestle. Good that Triple H kept the title cause Khali is pathetic. 3/10 John Cena VS Batista This match was made more of a fuss of then The Hell in A Cell who cares if it was the first game these 2 were VS each other. This match was quite good John Cena looked a bit pathetic with the STFU on Batista looked fake as hell. Though the highlight of that match was Cena jumping of the top rope and getting the Batista bomb. Batista beating John Cena was good great when John Cena loses I can't really stand him. 7/10 The Undertaker VS Edge - Hell in a Cell Now this was the match I was waiting to see Undertaker and Edge and to the feud was the best led up to this match was brilliant. The whole match was enjoyable and really best match of the year so far. The cage smashed at the side Edge done a spear to Undertaker through the Spanish announcers table. Edge gets chokeslammed through a table. I am going to skip to the end everything Edge done to Undertaker he did to Edge hitting him with a camera Edge getting a spear Edge been hit a One man con–chair–to. The end was just good Edge getting chokeslammed off the ladders and through the ring where fire came out at the end. Both men give a great match it was enjoyable and it was well worth staying up till 4am to watch it. 9.5/10 it is the best Hell in Cell match I have seen in a long time. Update: Now watching the DVD WWE have made editing to the crowd by trying to cut out the swearing. Another Edit takes place in the hell in a cell match the part where Edge gets thrown of the ladder it goes into a Undertaker video thing with little girls laughing a bit hard to explain but it wrecks the whole thing. The DVD extras are bad you get a boring ECW match the rematch with Mark Henry and Matt Hardy its a waste of time. a 45 second segment of WWE Summerfest and an awful segment with Shawn Michaels which is just lifeless. Hey WWE add something worth next where the hell in Edge's fantastic segments leading up to SummerSlam those needed to be added but anyway they should on on Edge's WWE DVD. WWE need to improve on there DVD extras because they just suck. As for Summerslam it's a great event 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York review
Posted : 1 year, 3 months ago on 16 August 2008 02:26
(A review of Home Alone 2: Lost in New York)Home Alone 2: Lost in New York a great movie a blockbuster then comes the game on Super Nintendo the first Home Alone game was horrible and so is this one. Home Alone 2 the game starts of at the hotel but in this game any thing can kill you hovers, the concierge will choke Kevin to death, the maids will wack Kevin with sort of things like umbrellas, briefcases coming out of a lift they can kill you. The game really is nothing like the movie and it really just some cheap cash in on a blockbuster hit movie trust me just AVOID THIS PILE OF TRASH. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
Emergency Mayhem review
Posted : 1 year, 3 months ago on 15 August 2008 10:21
(A review of Emergency Mayhem)Emergency Mayhem I could not wait for this game it really did just look like fun and a bit like Crazy Taxi but I was wrong. Emergency Mayhem has you playing as a police driver, ambulance and fire fighter which are mixed in with mini games. The game lets you drive around parts of the place called Crisis City after doing each mission it will unlock another part of the city. Emergency Mayhem has a different set of mini games such as trying to get the fire out which has you moving your wii remote up and down, it has you guiding penguins back in the sea which has you moving your Wii remote with them, saving people from the building you have a trampoline and you have to guide them to safety, it also has things such as going in peoples body's and getting a fly or even nail out why in the hell would you swallow a nail not a good idea to do this is very awkward you have to move your Wii remote and press A. There's 30 mini games and theres just to many to name also you have to catch monkeys, patiences and robbers this involves you running them over you can't get out the car and get them you run over then thats teaching people the wrong thing. The controls to the game are a little awkward you use your Wii remote to drive you press B and to reverse you press A the nunchuck you steer using the analog stick on it and Z lets you use the siren but only for a limited time. The game also has a major down fall as sometimes the arrow does not appear for some reason it seems after doing so many missions it just disappears and you have no clue where to go and sometimes it will come back. The worst thing that happened to me was you finish all the missions now you have to go back to HQ I did but nothing happened and I had to go and do all 19 missions again. As Codemasters released this game it should of been tested it just seems like third party games on Wii are never done well. The directional arrow in the sometimes is just not helpful as sometimes guides you in the wrong direction this is just annoying. I just want to go back to the mini games these can be annoying as sometimes the controls do feel unresponsive and fails to pick up the movement. The dialogue in the game does get annoying as it is the same all the time if you lose a mission the women is just nasty saying stuff like you suck talk about hurting a child's feelings. When the dialogue just could of been you failed please retry. You can also drive around on public pavements and even run them over no law enforcement will stop you so this game really does live in a fantasy land. The graphics do look like Nintendo 64 graphics I don't really care because they don't look that bad to me. The music sounds quite good and it really fits into the game very well. I really think this game could of been improved on to me it feels rushed and it is a bit stupid no wonder this game is hard to find only one store in my town had it. If you like these style games just stick with Crazy Taxi cause that game is good and avoid this one as it is very frustrating. This game was in plans in 2004 for Playstation 2 and XBOX by Acclaim since they went bankrupt they lost it. Four years later and Codemasters release it which this is there version as Acclaim's version looked a lot better and different to this. As I said it is quite boring and won't last long to enjoy kids may get bored of it easily there are far more better games on Wii to be spending your money on. This game cost me £20 pound and I feel ripped off I just of taking note of other reviews dam I wish I did. 0 comments, Reply to this entry
