OWN Iron Man tomorrow.. I’m gonna!

September 29th, 2008

Okay, so I didn’t have the time to write a review on Iron Man, but since it’s going to be released tomorrow I’m going to take the liberty to write one now.

If you’re a comic book fan.. or if you don’t know anything about comics at all, you’ll LOVE this movie. Quite frankly, I loved it. It’s got it all.. a snobby rich boy who sells weapons because he makes tonnes of money, gone soft after a life altering experience, throw in a little superhero and VOILA.. A fantabulous movie.

I have to admit that I was a little skeptical at first because I really don’t like Robert Downey Jr.  He always has that.. untrustworthy, slime ball look to him, but I have to admit…. he was PERFECT in this movie. I can usually think of someone better to play a part, but I can’t think of anyone better than him. I mean, he might not be the best superhero ever, but I think he’s the best actor to ever play a superhero.  Kudos RDJ!

The action is awesome and not too “all over the place”, the plot is great, the effects are very well done, the script has everything it needs and nothing more.. I could go on forever. I was completely engrossed for 2 hours and 5 minutes and the time went too fast.  Oh, and if you keep watching after the credits are done rolling.. you’ll get a suprise!

So, I gave it an 8 .. and I’m going to make George buy it tomorrow to add to my movie collection.

“Is it better to be feared or respected? I say, is it too much to ask for both?”

xbox 360 new dashboard release date, UPDATE

September 29th, 2008

Just a quick Update, the date has been given out see

xbox 360 new dashboard release date – Nov. 19th

Swing over to http://www.xbox.com/en-US/default.htm

Here you will see all of the flash ads are dedicated to all of the new features the new dashboard is to bring us, so if the update isn’t happening right now I would be extremely disappointed.

Looks like we won’t have to wait untill November for all of the nay sayers out there, XBOX 360 rules lol.

UPDATE

To much disappointment everything is stating not until November

“Don’t expect the New Xbox Experience to roll out for over a month. In an interview with Scott Austin, Director of Digitally Distributed Games for Microsoft, IGN was told that the New Xbox Experience will be pushed out to Xbox 360s in November. While talking about new ways that are coming to purchase Xbox Live Arcade games, Austin said, “One of the great things we have with the New Xbox Experience that we’re rolling out in November is that we now have web Marketplace available for our consumers.”

CBC Hockey Night In Canada Song

September 28th, 2008

Hey This is NHouseman telling you to Vote on your favorite song for CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada song. Voting starts October 4th. Starting Monday September 29th on the Hour w/ George Stoumboulopoulos he will be announcing one of the top five semi-finalists each show. Then as i said ocotber 4th you choose out of those 5 which will be CBC’s Hockey Night In Canada’s Theme song. I’ve browsed and listened to a few of the songs on http://anthemchallenge.cbc.ca/. it will be a tough choice to replace the infamous song which CTV owns now. on a side note CTV re-vamped that song, they could have ruined the essence of the song or they could have made it better, I say if it was already good why change it. so tune in to the hour listen to the top 5 and vote for your favorite song because we will have to be listening to that song every saturday night for this year at least maybe longer.

Saint John Westside Construction

September 24th, 2008

Well over the last year or so there has been a lot of development and more continuing. You will see the New Saint John Energy headquarters(completed and open), Shoppers Drug Mart (opening first of October) at Macallister mall, and Down the road you will see a building I think will be a home depot by Canadian tires for how the peak looks but i’m not 100% sure.

However in 2009 there will be new development completed to Zellers, I think it’s great that more and more stores are opening and renovating on the West Side of Saint John and not just because that is where I live.

xbox 360 new dashboard release date september?

September 24th, 2008

My xbox has warned me that Xbox live will be going offline for 24 hours on the 29th of September, could this be the New Xbox Dashboard that everyone is looking forward to??

With a message stating it could be down for up to 24 hours, to deliver a new experience it has all of the signs of the new Dash board everyone has been waiting for, I hope it is and it will be very cool to customize and use the new system.

If you call Microsoft’s support line they tell you it’s maintenance  only, but that does not make sense when all of the advertisements  talk about the new experience, also Microsoft has always been tight lipped if something really cool is coming.

We will see in just a few short days, or untill someone finds a press release that debunks this though all together.
