This Canada Day, we decided that we weren’t going to do the traditional crap. It’s way too crowded. So, we went to the local bowling alley and arcaded it up, bowled a little, went out to lunch and to our local market for some Ice Cream. It was a fun day!
Congrats to Katie Houseman for winning more than 8 frikin’ tickets on one of the arcade games in the Bowlarama. As a matter of fact, she won 810! Good Job Katie.. you beat the system. Nick playing with the prizes that they cashed their tickets in for, and Amanda cheating at bowling!! It was a fun couple of hours.
So, after lunch, we decided to go to the “Pumpkin Patch” and get some ice cream. When we got there, they were doing a little Canada Day thing with a lobster on the sidewalk for advertising. So, we have NHouseman talking about the importance of keeping ice cream traditional and talking with the lobster!
So, I want to let you all know about 2 suprisingly good movies that you may have never heard of being released to video tomorrow.
First, is “12 Rounds”. Starring John Cena (professional wrestler), it’s suprisingly good. I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular, and I actually thought it was going to suck, so I wasn’t set up to be dissapointed if it blew. Basically, Danny (John Cena) is a cop, who accidentally gets a criminal’s girlfriend dead. One year later, the criminal wants revenge. So, he has 12 Rounds of challenges for Danny to pass, and if he does, he lives. whooooooo
The action is pretty good, script is pretty good, acting is pretty good. For a movie I hadn’t heard of, it was a pleasing suprise.
The second, is “The Betrayed”. It moslty stars Melissa George (Sadie from Grey’s Anatomy) as a woman who is kidnapped along with her son because her husband is suspected of stealing millions of dollars from a crime boss. The result is a woman who realizes that she doesn’t know who she married, and has to find clues to the money or she and her son die. It’s a psychological drama that will keep you wondering and suprise you atleast twice. It’s really not that bad of a movie.
Neither one of these movies got very good reviews, and if it’s because they were lower budget and didn’t have REAL Hollywood stars in them, then it wasn’t a very good reason. Both movies were not bad at all. I’ll give them both a 6. So, if you’re looking for a new movie this Tuesday, these 2 are good ones to get. They’re a little off the radar, but sometimes, the best discoveries are the ones you didn’t think you’d make.
Hey This is NHouseman Reviewing Ghostbusters the game. First off, I started up the game and thought it should be a multi-player game because it does have the capabilities, but it isn’t unless you go on-line, which is a downer if you and a friend want to play it. You’d have to tell your friend to go home, get his own game, and you’d play it that way instead of just picking up a controller and playing it right there.
The graphics in this game are good, I haven’t noticed a lot of glitches yet and the storyline is good. They (I presume ) got the cast of Ghostbusters to supply their voices for the game. They use their voices for the characters and there is a lot of talking and cinematic scenes. I’d say about half the time you are watching a clip play. The controls are user freindly and the health hud is built into the backpack which I thought was neat and I’m not sure if its been done before. I think this game is a good buy. p.s i wonder why they would suddenly put out a Ghostbusters game . . .. maybe a Ghostbusters III is in the future? Any way this is NHouseman saying “who you going to call ?”
TalkNB Season 2, Gamer Update, first game we’ll be looking at is WoW I know I’m a few years behind the band wagon. However it’s Mid Summer Festival in the World of Warcraft as I finish off the achievement list to get my title.
