My CPU pretty much stopped working and I have been trying to get it fixed for the last week and a half or so.

While most of the town was off watching the fireworks, my buddies and I took the time to see a movie. After weeks of seeing comedies and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Transformers</span> last week, we decided to change it up and see a historical drama/action film. Public Enemies is the movie based on the true story of one of America's most notorious criminals in the 30's John Dillinger. During the great depression, Dillinger and his associates pulled off many daring bank robberies, claiming they were only interested in taking the governments money. By traveling across state lines to commit these robberies, this led to the birth of the FBI. Before the police was helpless s their own <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">jurisdiction</span> ended at the state borders. Dillinger pulled off many stunts including talking openly to the media about the banks he hit to spending time in the Chicago police department while he was the most wanted man in America. Johnny <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Depp</span> proves in this move why he is one of Hollywood's top actors. He is joined by the seemingly always working Christian Bale and many other notable actors. While the running time hits up to about 2 and a half hours, for me the movie flew by, keeping me entertained through out. I give Public Enemies a score on the Heath-meter of 9 out of 10.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdo1geScSFvJRwkuncBuvRKZbOINeAmbvQRkGlWWO9sA4S0mRND7QxuxObgjFt7hHcEIh8pArzB4rfX-U8wZXUBEw7WA0eX0g1XxxWvyb3V_VQaonAc6kXPX0bRghecA6zYSkZAvRsnQ/s1600-h/the+score.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354888107518094226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIdo1geScSFvJRwkuncBuvRKZbOINeAmbvQRkGlWWO9sA4S0mRND7QxuxObgjFt7hHcEIh8pArzB4rfX-U8wZXUBEw7WA0eX0g1XxxWvyb3V_VQaonAc6kXPX0bRghecA6zYSkZAvRsnQ/s320/the+score.jpg" /></a>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-31574437384509237562009-07-05T03:52:00.002-04:002009-07-05T04:04:26.822-04:00Reading List: The Lord of the Silent Kingdom<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGxWk9p_NGirGmIZfaAR4IRhWB_LVBMXUvF1iSkq7hR3iMdzp4quemPzk5BNHB0c5tNJ0XKqvAP3z4gA9NvkIaoy3O5s9hMPYZiagAdh1_Ch_kQyx3wBRb1UXO8QkAshBYB1GtgLS7tO0/s1600-h/tt.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354881066752713218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGxWk9p_NGirGmIZfaAR4IRhWB_LVBMXUvF1iSkq7hR3iMdzp4quemPzk5BNHB0c5tNJ0XKqvAP3z4gA9NvkIaoy3O5s9hMPYZiagAdh1_Ch_kQyx3wBRb1UXO8QkAshBYB1GtgLS7tO0/s320/tt.jpg" /></a> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">This</span> is the second in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Instrumentalities</span> of the Night series by Glen Cook. I read the first one in the series a while back and was swayed over against my early misgivings. By the end of the first book, all the problems I was having had been eliminated. The amount of information you will have to retain is staggering to be able to keep up with this series. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">This</span> book delves without warning right back into the mix. Having just read the first one a week or so ago, I had no trouble but someone who might take some time between these 2 books could easily find themselves lost until they remember everything. A refresher of the first one might still be required. What made the first book in this series great continues in this one. All the political intrigue between the leading nations and war is back. More of the world is opened in this one as our hero, Else/Piper is ordered by the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">religious</span> leader in his country to take the army and begin a crusade. While in the midst of this campaign, our hero also has the task to survive as the creatures of the night and myth step up in their quest to destroy him. It is a lot of information to handle, but once you lose yourself in this story, it <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">doesn't</span> let go. I find myself now <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">desperately</span> waiting the next in this series. hopefully I wont have to wait very long. While Glen Cook's Black <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Company</span> series is among my very favorite fiction, this series could easily find itself along side it in my tier of favorite series.<br /><div></div>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-85913904111971644552009-07-05T03:49:00.003-04:002009-07-05T03:51:07.642-04:00Babe of the Week 7/05 - 7/11/09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpPrdjtY1lfk0Sv3M1HEotbFuCILxQqIrO7ypX2nqNFUl8Kxmln5_j16m-URuOMTLYXDg7irOK3vs45cgAAyBpRn7Mx1YY_ykDlmyyM5udwnR2IML6s5Qff02PLAcIiZvn00bE6zL2X_M/s1600-h/om.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354880056020099378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpPrdjtY1lfk0Sv3M1HEotbFuCILxQqIrO7ypX2nqNFUl8Kxmln5_j16m-URuOMTLYXDg7irOK3vs45cgAAyBpRn7Mx1YY_ykDlmyyM5udwnR2IML6s5Qff02PLAcIiZvn00bE6zL2X_M/s320/om.jpg" /></a> This weeks babe of the Week is former fitness model and 7 time WWE women's champion Trish Stratus.

I have always been a big street fighter fan going back to the days of the original Street Fighter 2 arcade. I have played and almost own every incarnation of Street Fighter there has been. Street Fighter Alpha 3 is still among my top favorite games of all time. Street Fighter has always had great characters, plots and has a deep and strong central story. For some reason, Hollywood can't get that across in a feature film. Japan did it with an animated movie, which is the best incarnation of Street Fighter outside of the games. Even the comics (mostly) have done a great job telling the story. Hollywood has taken two stabs at it and has failed miserably both times. Whats worse is that they didn't gain any ground with this latest one. Its actually worse than the Jean Claude Van Damme version that came out almost 2 decades ago. How do you make a movie 20 years after another one and make it worse? I don't think that has ever been done before. What kills me is that this movie is about fighting and it is extremely boring. I fell asleep while fast forwarding to a fight scene. This whole movie is one big piece of crap. There is nothing good to say about this film at all. The story is incoherent, none of the actors do anything credible and that's sad based on some of the actors in this film, and the fight scenes are just ridiculous. Chris Klein puts on a hell of a razzie worthy performance in what has to be the worst acting I have ever seen in anything. Robin Shou gives him a run for his money on bad acting too, and most of the rest of the cast aren't too far behind him. This movie is just god awful. I don't think I could think of a word bad enough to compare this movie to. This film ranks up there with the Star Wars Holiday Special on how bad it is and I finished that movie without fast forwarding or falling asleep. I give Street Fighter: The legend of Chun Li a score on the Heath-meter of 0 out of 10. I felt like I had to give it a 1, but no its not even good enough to deserve that, so it gets a big ugly 0.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjTUjke3iwLO_EKWTtXIz_jQHfuUUjDsRFnyJ8gljhrwSS0b4sI3TU0KfdtE4Q7lIM5A87Ze56h7vTp7UzM47i62_O4k617fVOduplLsL7Pr0ZnOhFwuifBUYqSTU1YLupMYeG5Wdzw04/s1600-h/tt.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354524450923585266" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjTUjke3iwLO_EKWTtXIz_jQHfuUUjDsRFnyJ8gljhrwSS0b4sI3TU0KfdtE4Q7lIM5A87Ze56h7vTp7UzM47i62_O4k617fVOduplLsL7Pr0ZnOhFwuifBUYqSTU1YLupMYeG5Wdzw04/s320/tt.jpg" /></a> </div>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-27343483719971645862009-06-28T04:28:00.003-04:002009-06-28T04:35:47.968-04:00Heath List: TransformersHere is yet another Heath list. This one lists my top 5 favorite <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Transformers</span>. Most of my knowledge comes from the movies, both the live action ones and the animated on that came out decades ago. I never really watched any of the cartoons, played with any of the toys or even read the comics. Let me know what you guys think.<br /><br />5) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Soundwave</span>, I know in the comic he was a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">boombox</span> that had cassette tapes that transformed into different robots, but in the new movies he becomes a satellite in space.<br /><br />4) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Optimus</span> Prime, he did always have a classic look, and his original voice actor is playing him still today in the new movies.<br /><br />3) Star Scream, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">mainly</span> because in the original cartoon, his voice was the same as Cobra Commander's<br /><br />2) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Galvatron</span>, in the animated movie, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Megatron</span> becomes <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Galvatron</span> who was bad ass. He also transformed into a cannon, which in my opinion is always better than the pistol that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Megatron</span> changed into.<br /><br />1) Ravage, he was originally a cassette tape that changed into a panther. In the new movie, he is a something that changes into a panther like robot, He is still cool and in the movie, he packs the firepower.Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-77533311075168196452009-06-28T04:21:00.002-04:002009-06-28T04:27:33.651-04:00Reading List: Heroes of the Space Marines<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPaGkAz-4kjSfz8wv4LaTp5lICfso2C2GYWm94xawXYTdiLUjxOwjpgRljcCtlPkeAZ9jJvmXgdFzK6M4CET_5EDFF5kufk1O5vWGfwQxwDN3wOM_yrQzcFtUIx6C2azCX6cPabLEsLaI/s1600-h/tt.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 195px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352292238085847618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPaGkAz-4kjSfz8wv4LaTp5lICfso2C2GYWm94xawXYTdiLUjxOwjpgRljcCtlPkeAZ9jJvmXgdFzK6M4CET_5EDFF5kufk1O5vWGfwQxwDN3wOM_yrQzcFtUIx6C2azCX6cPabLEsLaI/s320/tt.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Another book Ive read recently is a collection of short stories set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, Heroes of the Space Marines. This book collects 10 stories in total, all involving Space marines and/or their evil counterparts, the Chaos Space Marines. One thing I loved about this collection is the inclusion of a story involving the Death Watch. The Death Watch in Warhammer 40k is a specialised group of Space Marines chosen from different chapters to go on basically suicide missions that have them going up against incredibly insane odds. Most of the short story collections of Warhammer 40k include such a story. Also included in this collection is a prequel story to the Salamander series coming soon by author Nick Kyme. His story really showed promise and got me all excited about reading the series when it is finally available to buy. There were also a few stories included that failed to catch my attention and also a few that were at best decent. But there were several that were outstanding and that alone makes this worth buying for any Warhammer 40k fan.</div>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-2699500790321960742009-06-28T04:09:00.003-04:002009-06-28T04:20:18.102-04:00Reading List: Tyranny of the Night<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQ_SkN1glA4CAH5H2_Lj_Le-tvafG64O-W1MX5zbRtvWAuXevtyjbYm85JWYxaREXQ03GYfx3ggNhISmecHjXgAs1RyvLbUDoKcp6O2STqeHu2FOMpgk0UCrE-ri4BCQsYhG8Jubq1Y8/s1600-h/tt.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 210px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352290034371630946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwQ_SkN1glA4CAH5H2_Lj_Le-tvafG64O-W1MX5zbRtvWAuXevtyjbYm85JWYxaREXQ03GYfx3ggNhISmecHjXgAs1RyvLbUDoKcp6O2STqeHu2FOMpgk0UCrE-ri4BCQsYhG8Jubq1Y8/s320/tt.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Glen Cook is one of my favorite authors. He ranks up there right behind Scott Lynch as a matter of fact. Mr Cook brings a stark realism to even the most outlandish of fantasy stories. He does simply by making the story about the people and not the champions like every other fantasy novel does. Tyranny of the Night is no exception. He brings back the style that made him an international best seller with his Black Company series. Tyranny of the Night is about a soldier named Else <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tage</span>. He is sent by his Warlord to infiltrate and spy on the lands to the west so that his country can anticipate when the rulers of the western kingdoms will try to raise an army to purge his country from what the world believes to be the Holy Lands. Unbeknown to his leaders, Else is attacked by and actually kills a minor god, one of many that plague this world during the night. Not only does Else have to play the spy game and keep himself from being revealed to his new comrades and employers, but he also has to watch out for the wrath of the gods. It did take me a while to get into this book. Like most of his novels, Glen Cook really develops the characters and their homelands to great detail. One really has to pay attention when reading this book or you can easily become lost in the vast amount of details and actions of the many involved parties int he story. Once I got everyone down, where they were from and what their motivations were, this book become very enjoyable, that and the fact that the plot evolved from the intrigue to actual battles and so forth. It can be a little overwhelming but Tyranny of the Night is a very good read. </div>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-60073113634257275802009-06-28T03:50:00.004-04:002009-06-28T04:08:15.410-04:00Autobots!

After several weeks of comedies, I was ready for a big summer action movie. A movie where there is no real story beyond getting the characters from one location to another. A movie where everything you see gets exploded to hell and there are hot chicks running around. Transformers 2 delivers on all of those fronts with ease. I really liked the first Transformers movie, mainly because it ended up being way better than even the slightest amount of hope I had for it. With this one, I was ready for what awaited me and I think that's the main reason, I didn't like this one as much. This time around Sam and company are trying to find an energy source before the evil decepticons find it and use it to power a machine that would *gasp* destroy the sun and kill us all. Most of the robots are back from the first one and there are many more added to this movie, most notably Soundwave, the former boombox decepticon who in this film changes into a satellite orbiting the Earth. Also appearing in this film is the true Devastator who is made up of 6 separate decepticons and my all time favorite Transformer, Ravage, whose robot form resembles a panther. Most of the human cast return as well for this time around. Missing are the hot chick computer hacker and Anthony Anderson and Jon Voight. The cast performs admirably, Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson are all military, Shia is running around and Megan Fox just looks hot. It was a very enjoyable film. IT made me laugh, awed me with huge explosions, and truly gave me my money's worth. The final battle alone makes up for about 45 minutes of the films 2 hour film time. A great movie to see if you re wanting some good summer blockbuster fun. I give Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen a score on the Heath-meter of 8 out of 10.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhejQnblnXDSRG53x8WiyQ0UD4EFHNh_JW4npnm_mcQgSYGaumgBYHJpCGfC235n8mjkWjC6E9dguE8c_8gcPArrpF5HEER9c_lw3bVh2FEpOvB6tirEf7B5Ftw3O9vBHFmPzMNBj3MHt8/s1600-h/the+score.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 218px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352287094072481810" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhejQnblnXDSRG53x8WiyQ0UD4EFHNh_JW4npnm_mcQgSYGaumgBYHJpCGfC235n8mjkWjC6E9dguE8c_8gcPArrpF5HEER9c_lw3bVh2FEpOvB6tirEf7B5Ftw3O9vBHFmPzMNBj3MHt8/s320/the+score.jpg" /></a>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-44184073570662601162009-06-28T03:48:00.002-04:002009-06-28T03:50:27.287-04:00Babe of the Week 6/28 - 7/04/09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkqPZTR528LxNRa6w0xGuXFFDyq2xvLhOVQGjNvgXp9Rqu6vLOl98W2XyPiSrpnXKwMIrBoWNkjhYahoCavYz8irrv5Spvxxd9zrpR01PrJnQzfqBQQP9e9StOA6M-IoSCCgZk_opayXs/s1600-h/om.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 218px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352282445898798642" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkqPZTR528LxNRa6w0xGuXFFDyq2xvLhOVQGjNvgXp9Rqu6vLOl98W2XyPiSrpnXKwMIrBoWNkjhYahoCavYz8irrv5Spvxxd9zrpR01PrJnQzfqBQQP9e9StOA6M-IoSCCgZk_opayXs/s320/om.jpg" /></a> The gorgeous Isabel Lucas is the babe of the week for the first week of July.

I thought it would be funny but I could give or take seeing it. I expected to see something that would make me laugh in what was being called the movie about the world's first road trip. Well, I did laugh a few times, but those times were few and far between the moments where I cringed at the amount of time spent making fun of Christianity, Judaism and basic good taste. Now, I'm not a hardcore christian or even devoutly religious, i was however raised in church and I still have a very healthy respect for God. Ive watched other movies that people have said makes them uncomfortable such as Dogma and I saw no problem. This movie however made me feel like I was going to be struck by lightning for watching it. Instead of being the world's oldest road trip, this movie could basically be called The Bible: The gross out joke edition. It starts out in a village of primitive humans. Zed (jack Black) a hunter who is very inept gets kicked out of the village for eating the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. His friend Oh (Michale Cera) decides to leave with him. On their journey they meet Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve and their family including Seth who is nothing but a 5 minute fart joke. They also manage to meet Abraham and Isaac which leads to many unfunny jokes about circumcision and other basic Jewish tradition. They end up in Sodom which the movie tries to play out like Vegas, even though in the Bible, it was destroyed by fire from heaven for being such an evil place, which they also poke fun at in this movie. All together, I felt wrong for watching this film. Even if there was significantly less sacrilege, I would still not like it because its not really that funny. jack Black plays the same spazzed out character he plays in almost every movie he's ever been in. The only good thing about this entire movie is Olivia Wilde who is pretty hot. So if you re headed to the movies to see something funny, go see The Hangover or Land of the Lost, just forget Year One. I give Year One a score on the Heath-meter of 2 out of 10.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0CmuC7EkZeDKWEH0kbeKcsyI0eAuW1-s2AGrr9iZO3XjVZNB4qPLnfghRXJL8fWU94ONsiFlSY__hd34h_TrqSJQkt3RpKViUwF-Fj_TVbHP1Jdy1dk6R0zNNf9KkSDUZ6deGj8iMGM/s1600-h/the+score.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 237px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349828087293969346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje0CmuC7EkZeDKWEH0kbeKcsyI0eAuW1-s2AGrr9iZO3XjVZNB4qPLnfghRXJL8fWU94ONsiFlSY__hd34h_TrqSJQkt3RpKViUwF-Fj_TVbHP1Jdy1dk6R0zNNf9KkSDUZ6deGj8iMGM/s320/the+score.jpg" /></a>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-30422102008635649672009-06-21T12:37:00.003-04:002009-06-21T12:38:42.691-04:00Babe of the Week 6/21 - 6/27/09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRFj5kOaqDBIy3ICCPVxhE5UUVbAUWxlaxyQHNb069O1Skz9MXEVuWv3Td4IhpTALSF38lQMPiBQ_UtIFJ6FiD82cfq1R-au1zhXCZo6snGp9w_r6E3TxnCWMv5zuyr1J2byLofZ62v4/s1600-h/om.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 245px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349821002868896162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnRFj5kOaqDBIy3ICCPVxhE5UUVbAUWxlaxyQHNb069O1Skz9MXEVuWv3Td4IhpTALSF38lQMPiBQ_UtIFJ6FiD82cfq1R-au1zhXCZo6snGp9w_r6E3TxnCWMv5zuyr1J2byLofZ62v4/s320/om.jpg" /></a> This week's babe is the gorgeous Olivia Wilde.

Evey June, fans from all over the eastern Tennessee area and beyond gather at the Knoxville convention center to celebrate <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">everything</span> from comics, movies and more. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">This</span> year was the 4t<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">h</span> year that I have been able to attend. This year was also the best so far of all the times Ive went. Besides the many stalls set up <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">throughout</span> the convention floor selling comics, action figures, and other merchandise, they also have celebrity guests and comic artists. I spent quite a bit of money at the only DVD stand that was there this year. Most of the time there are several set up but unfortunately only one this year. Besides wasting my money on movies, I was able to meet and receive an autograph from the gorgeous <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Christy</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Hemme</span>, who was also the Babe of the Week last week.

I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">didn't</span> get to meet but I did get to see Lou <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Ferrigno</span>, Mick Foley and got to stand next to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Delorean</span> from Back to the Future.

A buddy and mine was in Knoxville for the day and decided to catch a movie before we came home. We had both heard some good things about this film so we decided this was the one to see. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">wasn't</span> hyped for this film at all. It did look funny in the trailer, but its just another Hollywood cliche movie. A bunch of guys party, cant remember what happened, they learn later how they accomplished all the crazy tasks that seem to have happened the night before and everyone goes home happy with lesson learned. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">The</span> best movie like this in my opinion is Dude, where's my car? That however is no longer the case. Hangover is downright hilarious from beginning to end. Even though they do give away a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">lil</span> too much in the trailer for the film, there are still many surprising moments throughout the film. Most of the questions of what happened get answered, some are left for open discussion. One thing I liked in particular is that even with all the stuff that you find out in the movie, its not til the end when you get to see just how crazy their night of partying was. All the actors in this film did great, the main guys have great chemistry together, and are actually <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">believable</span> as 4 friends having a wild night on the town. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">There</span> are a few too many scenes that feature male nudity of some sort.

I saw this book at my local used book store and decided to take a chance on it. Have you ever experienced a time when you bought something on a whim that really surprised you on how good it was? This was NOT one <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">of</span> those times. I hate this book so much I could scream. I wish I had done some research before buying this piece of crap and saved myself the anger and frustration that I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">experiencing</span> now. What's worse is that I was into this book all the way throughout the story <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">until</span> the very freaking end. First let me explain. Hyperion is about a group of 7 strangers brought together on the last <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">pilgrimage</span> to see the mysterious Shrike of the planet Hyperion. On the way to their destination, the pilgrims decide to each tell their tale, revealing what their goals are and their secrets. This hearkens many to compare this book the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Canterbury</span> Tales but set in space. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">This</span> format actually works very well. You get to learn about the characters and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">their</span> motives and more about Hyperion, its mysteries and the Shrike. Some of the stories I liked better than others but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">that's</span> to be expected. In a story featuring several characters, there are always at least a few that just grate on your nerves and this book is no exception. Each of the stories reads more like separate novellas. The Priests tale and The Scholars tale both stand out as excellent and the Colonel's tale and especially the Poet's tale are just garbage. Still not bad enough to take me out of the over all story. There are <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">also</span> many extreme examples of technology that I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">don't</span> think could have been imagined in any other tale. Worlds that feature rooms on different planets that are traveled to by <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">teleportation</span> and flying space trees are just two of such examples. Now here is my problem with this book. IT continually builds throughout the story. Always setting up the mysterious Shrike and the events surrounding it. Everything is leading up to this encounter. All the stories are told, almost all the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">wondering</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">secrets</span> of the characters are now all out in the open. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">They</span> are on the last leg of their journey merely walking <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">distance</span> of their final destination . Then they clasps arms and sing off to see the Wizard and then the end. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">That's</span> it, it ENDS <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">right</span> there. All that build up and it just DROPS. Apparently the sequel continues the story and all the fans say that its really one big book separated into two. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">That's</span> not good enough. Even if the story is to be continued, you have something accomplished. You just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">don't</span> END THE BOOK! This pissed me off so bad when I read this that I totally lost all interest in this story, these characters and whatever is going to happen. I will most certainly not buy the second book in this series and I will soon be taking this piece of garbage back to the used book store to hopefully get at least a percentage of the money I spent on it back. If <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">you re</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">considering</span> this book, please be informed that you will need to buy this one and the next as well. Maybe if I had known, I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">wouldn't</span> feel so betrayed.<br /><div></div>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-7186860329814954432009-06-07T04:46:00.004-04:002009-06-07T05:05:52.116-04:00Memories of my childhood are no longer lost.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAN7cvWDnULM6952pGIr20HQ-mB1j4rHuOQK5oTUT_tzZbkjk4KjA_-jBY_NDCHmZL_THcNAS-IpFtzPw3ZvFc7KjorVlkrC3XG319Ls-ZsW0FSETEy-4p-yLX0te4bFn1N8xWJ0QchzQ/s1600-h/tt.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344504754558171986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 216px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAN7cvWDnULM6952pGIr20HQ-mB1j4rHuOQK5oTUT_tzZbkjk4KjA_-jBY_NDCHmZL_THcNAS-IpFtzPw3ZvFc7KjorVlkrC3XG319Ls-ZsW0FSETEy-4p-yLX0te4bFn1N8xWJ0QchzQ/s320/tt.jpg" border="0" /></a> Will Ferrell stars in this remake of the 1970s <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">children's</span> show also titled The Land of the Lost. I loved watching the show when I was younger and even still more recently when <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SciFi</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">featured</span> a marathon of it all day, showing all 3 seasons. What was once fond memories of adventure and peril mixed with mind blowing visuals that no show could equal became a laughable surprisingly dark show with possibly the worst <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">special</span> effects to ever be utilized on television. Just as I became <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">reacquainted</span> with this show, I have now been treated to a movie adaptation. While there are scenes and dialogue thrown in for hard core fans of the original series, the movie take quite a few <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">liberties</span> with the story and the characters. Will and Holly, once the children of Dr Rick Marshall now are a redneck fireworks vendor and a lab assistant to the fumbling Dr Marshall. I wont go into any further detail about some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">of the</span> others because I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">don't</span> want to ruin any part of the movie for those of you who might go out and see this soon. Most of the characters do make an appearance at least once throughout the movie including <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Enik</span> the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Altrusion</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Cha</span>-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">ka</span>, and especially Grump the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Tyrannosaurus</span> Rex. Now for those of you who might unfamiliar with the story of either the show or this new movie, let me give a quick run <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">thru</span>. Dr Rick Marshall and now assistant and guide <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">inadvertently</span> open a time portal to another dimension which features elements of different time periods and mysterious artifacts. Home to the veritable land of the lost are dinosaurs, a lizard like humanoid race called the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Sleestak</span>, a hybrid human/chimp race and many other mysterious forms of life. Our lovable castaways must survive while exploring this strange new land while all the while trying to find a way back home. I highly recommend anyone to watch at least a few <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">episodes</span> of the old show just so that some of the stuff in the movie will <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">not</span> just fly over your head. Now as far as the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">movie</span> goes, Will Ferrell <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">basically</span> plays the same character he has played in almost every movie he has been in. he runs around sprouting catchphrases and random insanity while acting like a jackass. Playing Will is the seemingly omnipresent Danny McBride who plays the same character he plays in every movie he has been in. Joining the cast as the now grown up Holly as opposed to the young preteen of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">TV</span> show is the incredibly sexy Anna <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Friel</span>. Besides the name and basic story plot and scenarios, this is nothing like the show. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">The</span> show was aimed primarily at kids while this movie easily earns its PG-13 rating and barely escapes a R rating in my opinion. There is cussing, sexual language and Anna <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Friel</span> gets felt up by almost every other cast member. It definitely fits with the Will Ferrell established <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">fanbase</span>. I liked this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">movie</span> pretty well but I still enjoy the show more. I give Land of the Lost a score on the Heath-meter of 8 out of 10.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlgTCcwPw_JA_TL875qCUWXOJgUyZ4F4cl_htyaHeKVo7HhDl-rL4OfKONG1VZnSuQTJUq9N0sFw02rH4tqoX-50YEhXUo1x8b-FKsfltzrQJbVX333XpSDXLPsVlYlmAzVDl93MRz9Cg/s1600-h/the+score.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344508966980096962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 218px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlgTCcwPw_JA_TL875qCUWXOJgUyZ4F4cl_htyaHeKVo7HhDl-rL4OfKONG1VZnSuQTJUq9N0sFw02rH4tqoX-50YEhXUo1x8b-FKsfltzrQJbVX333XpSDXLPsVlYlmAzVDl93MRz9Cg/s320/the+score.jpg" border="0" /></a>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-83028179403835780672009-06-07T04:43:00.003-04:002009-06-07T04:45:26.008-04:00babe of the Week 6/07 - 6/13/09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzyDTxf64dkPZME_inT3vhQ7q-m8x85nfQUlTao3FEYgUtQWhV43E2QUSniEW25mOa6WDZwVn_9FlFVgEmWaDDR9-wvwmC3hRyaHv5Wxooq-6GTNst9W2MOiB-9UsiywxWnkqIj_RMdt4/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344503678432916354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 251px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzyDTxf64dkPZME_inT3vhQ7q-m8x85nfQUlTao3FEYgUtQWhV43E2QUSniEW25mOa6WDZwVn_9FlFVgEmWaDDR9-wvwmC3hRyaHv5Wxooq-6GTNst9W2MOiB-9UsiywxWnkqIj_RMdt4/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /></a> The gorgeous <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Christy</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Hemme</span> is the babe of the week for this week.

Ive been sick, been off work and generally have had a crappy time for the most part. Outside of a few instances where I got to go hang out with friends and such, the last few weeks I hope are easily forgotten. Anyways during this time, I have not really felt like "blogging" all that much even though most of my blogging centers around throwing my two cents around about movies and books and other such things. Mainly because my life is boring and there just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">isn't</span> that much to write about. So <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">that's</span> why today <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">I'm</span> posting TWO (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">woot</span> yea two) books that I have read during that time and here goes my review. The first one was the Grey Knights Omnibus by Ben Counter. This actually collects 3 books together in one volume. The Grey Knights centers on a group of highly trained <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">genetically</span> enhanced super soldiers called Space Marines that fight for the Emperor of Earth in the years around 40,000. It also belongs to a much greater franchise, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Warhammer</span> 40,000, which is a tabletop war game. The Grey Knights are the chosen daemon hunters of their time. They are trained from a young age to fight daemons and to have an amazing unwavering faith. This series of books focuses on one squad in particular and the trials that they must face. Its one of the better <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Warhammer</span> 40k <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">series</span> out there and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">doesn't</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">disappoint</span> at all. If <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">you re</span> a fan of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Warhammer</span> 40k or just like 9 feet tall armor clad super humans fighting the spawns of evil, then this series should be right up your alley.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbt__0neKi0e3S0SxJwUMFtkEWg5o9rkHv9YXF5Ce_kU9k0ZLUfJQQGwI_QhcTYntHUis8iclm6czgsR7l7ctIsjNllwsUITEa3motde_3shNPp0ks5H7GeyoeEluSI2YTdpI1ipFhG7w/s1600-h/tt.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344284329082135010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 215px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbt__0neKi0e3S0SxJwUMFtkEWg5o9rkHv9YXF5Ce_kU9k0ZLUfJQQGwI_QhcTYntHUis8iclm6czgsR7l7ctIsjNllwsUITEa3motde_3shNPp0ks5H7GeyoeEluSI2YTdpI1ipFhG7w/s320/tt.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />The second book I read over the last few weeks is the Forever War by Joe <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Haldeman</span>. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">This</span> is actually a quick read as I finished in it in about 2 hours or so. This book is great. The Forever War is bout a group of soldiers chosen in the late 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">th</span> century to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">fight</span> in Earth's first intergalactic war. Now the reason I say 20<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">th</span> century is because this book was written originally in the 70s and the technology jump was so much at the time that they thought space travel and crazy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">scifi</span> weapons were right around the corner. Plus the author said he <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">wanted</span> to use characters that could have fought in Vietnam which this story is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">basically</span> an allegory for. The story is told <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">through</span> the perspective of one William Mandela. A physics student who is drafted to be one of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">first</span> young soldiers to fly across space to fight the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Taurens</span>, mysterious aliens who happen to have been first spotted in the Taurus constellation. Using powerful laser weapons and engineered power suits, Humanity is pulling out all the stops to win this war. Another facet of book revolves around what the book calls <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Collapsers</span>. These are mid space phenomena which allows the travel of light years in literally nanoseconds. While one may travel hundreds of thousands of light years, to them its only a second but they are actually losing time as they are aging months, Earth is aging centuries. After their first encounter, Mandela and his unit are returned to Earth after being gone only a few short months to find that over 20 years have passed. Unable to deal with this future shock, Mandela decides to return to the military. What follows is more of the same, the books goes into great detail about missions and battles while at the same time always reminding him how much time he has lost as centuries start to fly by and Earth is continually changing. This book really makes you think. The future it paints for Earth is both eerie and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">different</span>, telling a future that most people probably <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">wouldn't</span> even imagine.

One of Pixar's best ever. You should definitely go see it. It has drama, comedy, action and even makes you cry. I give Up a score on the Heath-meter of 8 out of 10.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWspDh7NSVhtCg_PvR-XWsoKkgp_Q_mF0VIZtdDDfuZuY9SkGGctXlUp-RbAae9mhOokchRwxV0wJwsr_1UJv4XWoIGRnNyy2-av4hX8qCUxnODBuUvK_IK_Vmc98JCJgBY6K_4hU_HPk/s1600-h/balloons.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341910760962161282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 236px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWspDh7NSVhtCg_PvR-XWsoKkgp_Q_mF0VIZtdDDfuZuY9SkGGctXlUp-RbAae9mhOokchRwxV0wJwsr_1UJv4XWoIGRnNyy2-av4hX8qCUxnODBuUvK_IK_Vmc98JCJgBY6K_4hU_HPk/s320/balloons.bmp" border="0" /></a>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-33034532532805425842009-05-31T04:56:00.003-04:002009-05-31T04:57:45.628-04:00Babe of the Week 5/31 - 6/06/09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3GZMJ3l2haxIVedqvIUDRkptme1Cvur_yEh7RkI_I9qjomjmxy02rZcy02A4H23z9SwecNpzraNDaeztgLDLK-dwLpPXamd8KDu3ihM6PrrPRQ4vTiNurtytIZVdxFH-hdt1pnuk3jHw/s1600-h/om.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341909350892039202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 304px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3GZMJ3l2haxIVedqvIUDRkptme1Cvur_yEh7RkI_I9qjomjmxy02rZcy02A4H23z9SwecNpzraNDaeztgLDLK-dwLpPXamd8KDu3ihM6PrrPRQ4vTiNurtytIZVdxFH-hdt1pnuk3jHw/s320/om.jpg" border="0" /></a> Buffy month concludes with the original Buffy from the movie version, Kristy Swanson. <br /><div></div>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-52580434211282421822009-05-24T05:30:00.005-04:002009-05-24T05:55:25.530-04:00Number 4 and ready for more<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5nkEJLmpRrJr41RQPVrIvDfBU6TLUAr38i4dTVQtS41vfNKoaUbwBu92rgarGfbLn7AaI0biNwu_BMqqhVTdghmUYlBPlowcjrEnX8M_oWhXkC64HpxS3ljvrauxLyr6eQ9ZzNsQ0h9A/s1600-h/tt.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339320979482165858" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 207px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5nkEJLmpRrJr41RQPVrIvDfBU6TLUAr38i4dTVQtS41vfNKoaUbwBu92rgarGfbLn7AaI0biNwu_BMqqhVTdghmUYlBPlowcjrEnX8M_oWhXkC64HpxS3ljvrauxLyr6eQ9ZzNsQ0h9A/s320/tt.jpg" border="0" /></a>Terminator: Salvation is the 4th film in the storied franchise. This film acts as a prequel to the previous films as having taking place before the events of the first Terminator. I for one really liked it. Ive never been a huge Terminator fan but I did like the first one and of course T2. I still think T2 is one of the best films and easily among the very best movies that are sequels. The first one is still a classic and the third wasn't god awful so that's a win in the books for me as well.<br />This movie takes place in our future after Skynet has become aware and began its war on Humanity. While trying to help the resistance that has risen up against the machines and, John Conner using the knowledge of the future, comes across something even he didn't expect. This film is full of action, some throwbacks to the true fans such as the classic lines, "Come with me if you want to live" and of course "I'll be back". Christian Bale once again nails the performance of John Conner and Sam Worthington easily steals the movie as Marcus Wright. We also get to hear Christian Bale slip into his Batman voice several times and even an appearance by the Governator, even if it was mostly CGI. The one thing that this movie could have used was Summer Glau, the sexy female terminator from the TV show. I for one cant wait for the next one. I give Terminator: Salvation a score on the Heath-meter of 8 out of 10.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGP-9oU_CsXXklEREwQnSp26-im0joZXur44tVkdFgTu_JxJdSbPK4ttK7iEb0oGYzzGOs8OjKVbBiTJs4VPbyZJVEf_QQcKDQgXRAinXsmZcoGi3r498DTtJ_E5Y-klFDe-Y0lQiz3Lg/s1600-h/the+score.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339326795561693314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 297px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGP-9oU_CsXXklEREwQnSp26-im0joZXur44tVkdFgTu_JxJdSbPK4ttK7iEb0oGYzzGOs8OjKVbBiTJs4VPbyZJVEf_QQcKDQgXRAinXsmZcoGi3r498DTtJ_E5Y-klFDe-Y0lQiz3Lg/s320/the+score.jpg" border="0" /></a>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385020898616487045.post-91966732077556396502009-05-24T05:28:00.003-04:002009-05-24T05:30:34.890-04:00Babe of the Week 5/24 - 5/30/09<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhl8D0xORrcgjcS0w0D2APUYxjRdAIcm1KB95VoRRwK11PG5ARXtymO4kfcQHNiHfaFoVNK1HwxFRw7ejk7Ji6FeftnA-5dPrTy9LfszXAvvbF2DBzq8UDQL8-iy_dzF6wurIB_VzSmQ/s1600-h/om.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339320144979147346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 221px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfhl8D0xORrcgjcS0w0D2APUYxjRdAIcm1KB95VoRRwK11PG5ARXtymO4kfcQHNiHfaFoVNK1HwxFRw7ejk7Ji6FeftnA-5dPrTy9LfszXAvvbF2DBzq8UDQL8-iy_dzF6wurIB_VzSmQ/s320/om.jpg" border="0" /></a> Buffy month continues with the gorgeous Charisma Carpenter. She mostly appeared on the Buffy spin-off Angel, but ,to the best of my knowledge, has been on both shows. <br /><div></div>Heathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08909942219914511393noreply@blogger.com0
