far, far away….

Hahaha, it’s been 6 months since my last login? Wow. Let’s see. Well, Modern Warfare 2 has kept me locked up for 6 months. It’s nice to finally see daylight. The game is awesome. I would highly recommend it. Only for PS3 though. Don’t waste your time with a Microsoft product like XBox 360. Phenomenal game. Get it if you haven’t already. Haha, 6 months. Wow.

November 10, 2009 is gonna be a great day. Why? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Make sure to pre-order that game if you want it that day. Usually most stores just take pre-ordered customers only on the first day.

I’m sure if you are XBOX losers, I mean, users, there will be plenty for you, since no one cares about Microsoft and their stupid products. What? Yea, that’s right.

This game should only be played on Playstation 3 for three reasons:

1. True HDMI 1080p graphics with fiber optic sound.

2. Game controls.

3. Can XBOX say, “Blu-Ray?” Nope. PS3 can.

So make sure to pre-order this game if you haven’t already for PS3. It’ll go quick. I’ll have a full review of this game once I pick it up that day. Actually, I’ll try and have a review up. I might be too busy in the line of duty.

Probably one of the best games I’ve ever played. Great story, the actors returned to do the voices. It’s amazing. If you get a chance, pick it up. I would only recommend this for PS3 though since I’m against XBOX and the one for the Wii looks super cartoony. In fact, stay away from the Wii version all together. Don’t even waste your time with it or money.

Wish the story could go on longer though. It was a fairly short game. Maybe because I was playing it none stop for hours? Probably. Great game though.

On another note, picked up the Blu-ray version of the first Ghostbusters as well. Amazing, truly amazing. Outstanding quality, and the new short documentary on Ecto-1 was awesome. Crystal clear picture.

I gotta start keeping up with this blog. It’s been awhile.

It’s clear movies these days are all a matter of opinion. For whatever reason “movie critics” gave this movie a 22% boggles my mind. I’m a huge Michael Bay fan and for me, walking in this movie, I had high expectations. Did the movie deliver? Hell yeah it did! This one blew away the first one by a long mile, and the first one was even great.

I truly have had it with these so called “movie critics.” They don’t even make any sense. They are people, like you and me, who just have their own opinions, but they seem to try and get their stupid message across on whether or not a movie is worth seeing. Personally, I don’t give a rats ass what “movie critics” think. They are always wrong… Plain and simple, if you like Michael Bay movies and you like crap getting blown up, then see this movie. It’s amazing. Don’t listen to these ignorant arrogant morons. “Movie critics” give it a 22%… I give it 100%. Purely opinion there.

So what made this movie so great? Top 10 reasons (no specific order):

1. Action Packed – Non-stop action, everything being blown to bits. Awesome.
2. Sound – The most amazing sound I’ve ever heard in any movie, by far. Awesome.
3. CGI – Robots looked pretty real to me. Would be cool if this really did happen. Awesome.
4. Music – Steve Jablonsky is the man yet again. Just all the timing with the action. Awesome.
5. The Transformers – New characters, same characters, it’s all great. Soundwave? Awesome.
6. Acting – It’s pretty good. You laugh at the smart ass comments. So great. Awesome.
7. Story – I found it to be very interesting. Perfect length as well. Awesome.
8. Director – Michael Bay and his fantastic low angles and creative editing. Awesome.
9. Executive Producer – Steven Spielberg’s name attached to greatness. Awesome.
10. IMAX – Crystal clear picture, and throw all the above in and you got one hellava movie experience.

Awesome.

I just hope Bay takes on the third installment someday. Either way, I am happy with just the two. Thank you Michael Bay for one great movie, and thank you ILM for your superior work once again. GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Here’s the first TV Spot that came out to hype the movie…

“Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing.” -Optimus Prime

Yea, I know, it’s been a really long time since I last updated this thing. But since the last two posts had a Michael Bay resemblance to it, I think I will just continue with one last post on him before the big day next week.

First, I have my tickets to see the new Transformers at the IMAX. It’s a simple as this, if you don’t see it at the IMAX, you’re not that bright. What is it? A buck more? And you get what out of it? Incredible sound, incredible picture. All the action sequences were shot in the IMAX format. Who wouldn’t want to see that?

Second, I would agree with everyone that the first movie dragged a lot, somewhat good action, most spoiled in the trailers and online clips. Now that the setup is over, I’m pretty sure this next one will be hardcore action right off the bat. I’ve pretty much gone almost dark with this movie (no spoilers). So there should be a lot of surprises for me.

Third, I’m mostly excited for the rumored 60 robots in the movie. Also, excited that the Constructicons are finally making an appearance, as well as the Fallen. Those few Transformers alone are just screaming “blow shit up.” Devastator should be pretty bad ass.

Finally, you can trash Michael Bay all you want, he’s still a genius. If you loved all his other movies, you’ll definitely love this one. He’s 95% action as you all should know. It’s also clear at this point that this is the biggest movie of the year and will blow away every other movie that hits theaters this year.

Michael Bay, the legend on Directing movies. Alongside Bay comes two other talented producers of his movies, Steven Spielberg and Jerry Bruckheimer. Most of you are aware I’m sure of Bay’s movie path.

He demands things to be AWESOME! 100% Action in all of his movies. He loves to blow things up too, and not sure you know this, but there is at least one car chase scene in all of his movies. Once again, awesomeness.

Think of his line of work. You got: Bad Boys (1995), The Rock (1996), Armageddon (1998), Pearl Harbor (2001), Bad Boys II (2003), The Island (2005), Transformers (2007), and the most anticipated film of the year, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009).

Can anyone guess the similarity between all of these films? Besides the fact there is a ton of action and stuff blowing up? If any of you understand Bay’s work, you will notice a very familiar shot in every one of his movies. To me, I call it “The Michael Bay Shot.” Yeah, I guess that sounds kind of lame, but what are you gonna do?

It’s pretty much expected in all of his movies. As you can see below from the stills, it’s a shot where the camera is on the ground facing up at the actor rotating in slow motion. The most fantastic shot in all of his films. I mean, just look at the shots. Can someone say, “bad ass?” The man is a legend, and this summers blockbuster, Transformers 2, will prove that yet again.

If there’s something strange, in the neighborhood, honestly, who ya gonna call? Yea, that’s right, the Ghostbusters. This is by far one of my all time favorites and I’m sure yours too. Seriously, can’t complain about the cast, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. What’s sad is, incoming freshman to high school these days have no clue who those actors even are.

Why am I reviewing Ghostbusters? Well, like I said, great movie, but most important, to hype up the release of the movie in Blu-ray. I mean, come on, who wouldn’t want to see a crystal clear “Stay Puft Marshmallow Man” in 1080p? Oh, and not to mention, the new game coming out in June, which I will be purchasing and reviewing down the road. I’m sure it will be great, since the original cast are doing the voice overs.

I remember as a kid getting the toys for Christmas. Action figures, life size Proton Packs, the trap, the PKE Meter, oh and how can I forget, Ecto-1. All those toys were bad ass. I’m sure most of you can second that. What I would do, to get all those back… ebay. Nahhhh, as much as I would love too, I’ll pass. The movie on Blu-ray and the game for PS3 should do just fine for now, when they arrive.

Aight, back to the movie. So what makes this movie so good? For one, the awesome theme song by Ray Parker, Jr. Obviously everyone has that song stuck in their head. The effects are pretty good for its time. But most important, the acting and the hilarious lines that come with it…

Ray Stantz: “You know it just occurred to me, we’ve really haven’t had a completely successful test of this equipment.”

Peter Venkman: “Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on its back.”

So if you haven’t seen this movie, you should be ashamed of yourself. Seriously though, if you haven’t seen it, watch it for the first time on June 16, 2009 in high definition. I most certainly will be reliving the past that week.
