Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty 4 : Xbox 360 version
Call of Duty 4 is a robust FPS set in the modern time. Unlike its processors which was set in the World Wars. I’ve played a lot of FPS in my time; all the Halos, Turoks, Bonds, Unreals, and I must say COD4 is the best FPS game I’ve ever played. The graphics are great and the game play is very smooth.
There are pretty much two aspects of the game, multiplayer or story mode. I completed story mode and was pleased with the game play. However, the multiplayer game play is by far the best. There are numerous games available on xbox live: hardcore, free for all, domination, sabotage, the number of games you can play on line far out weighs single player mode.
(Single Player) You start out with a team or teammate and they set you with the equipment you will need to finish a level. The game sets goals and time limits to reach specific destinations. There is a plot but while playing the game I really didn’t care what it was.
(Multiplayer) Like all other FPS it’s yourself or you can team up against another person or team and battle to a predefine time or point limit. The game is military based so the teams are comprised of marines, terrorist, etc.
However, I will write further articles that cover different aspects of the game because one article will not cover it.
So overall, what makes this game so good:
- Graphics supported is up to 1080i (this is the mode I play in). Very little lag and no distortion at all. Beautiful soundings and in-depth visuals and graphics.
- You can shoot through walls and change up your environment. Set fires to cars that will blow up later.
- Massive online multiplayer system
- Realistic rag doll effects, shooting someone in the head will splatter blood on the wall, etc.
- Down loadable content available.
- You can custom build classes to suit you game play style. (Multiplayer only).
My next article will cover mostly the multiplayer aspect of the game. Since, that is by far my most favorite aspect.
Read MoreSTAY ALIVE
Well, first of all, I have to say I kind of liked this movie. I don’t know if people have noticed but there just aren’t a lot of good slasher films out there. Like every other typical red-blooded American male between the ages of 16-45, I like blood and carnage. The more the merrier. However, not since SCREAM has there been any GOOD twists in slasher flicks. Does STAY ALIVE qualify as a slasher flick? In my book it does. People die (teenagers) and the survivors discover it’s an evil force (sort of like Freddy, Jason, Myers, etc..). They must ban together and figure out a way to stop it. The twist in this movie is the actors are dying off like their virtual characters did in a video game… hence the name STAY ALIVE.
I will warn you though, if you are one of these people who like to pick apart movies and plot lines, then skip this movie. There is parts in this flick that really doesn’t make any sense. For instance, I’m playing a computer game, that when I die in the game, I will die like that in real life. Ok, hmmmm.. Once I figure that little piece of important information out, wouldn’t you think it’d be a wise move to SHUT THE FUCKING GAME OFF????
They also figure out that the killer can be temporary stopped by using a Red Rose. So they carry a few of them around. A FEW!? I’d be wearing a rose suit, necklace, and tie. I’d have them in my hair; I’d be taking a bath in the leaves, heck I’d even eat a few for good measure.
Over all, I liked it. It was just a little different.
Now a side note:
I know that everyone is talking about SAW III. The first SAW was a great concept. But the sequels offer nothing new. Ok, you take a bunch of stupid people and place them in situations you know they will lose at. Heck, you can do that forever. SAW is no different from the FRIDAY 13th movies. After the first movie you weren’t scared any more. You just watched the flicks to see how creatively that Jason could disembowel someone. SAW is the same way. They need to spice things up some. Maybe Jigsaw meets Jason! Now that would be a flick I’d want to go see. Oh man, I can see it now.
Scene:
Jason wakes up in a room with very little light. There is a female body bound and gagged with duct tape on the floor.
Jason looks around. He has a giant steel trap screwed into his head. He stands up and accidentally pulls a cord that starts a timer and turns on a TV.
JigSaw comes on the tv:+ “Jason, you lived a life wrought with death. You now have 60 seconds left to get the giant trap off your head before it flips and rips your lower jaw off“
Jason looks around dumbfounded.
JigSaw continues: “You have two choices, 1. let the device snap your jaw off or use the key that I hid behind the eye of the girl of the floor. Chose now.”
Jason looks around and then suddenly rips the trap off his head. Bone and meat along with blood goes flying in all directions..
“NO JASON.. THAT’S NOT HOW WE PLAY HERE!”, JigSaw screams out.
Jason then reaches down and grabs the girl up off the floor with both hands. Holding her a good 8 inches off the floor he squashes her head like an over ripe grape. Shooting the key out of her eye socket and across the floor.
“JASON!!”, JigSaw yells…..
Jason heads for the only door in the room. He busts through it like it was door like it was built by Koffman and Broad. In the next room he sees a person trying to open a safe. The floor is covered with a flammable liquid and a candle is lit on the safe. The person sees Jason coming toward him and cowers back against the wall. Jason picks up the safe and throws it toward the man.
The safe strikes the guy and smashes him through the wall like a car hitting a dog doing eighty miles an hour.
“JASON!! STOP!!!“… JigSaw yells in the back ground.

THE MARINE
This movie has all the ingredients for success, action, love-story, guns, and most importantly a hot leading woman and built leading man. Now, is it the best action movie I’ve seen… no. However, I have to give credit were its due, for first timers to the big screen, this movie isn’t half bad.
The premise is simple, a marine’s wife gets kidnapped and he goes a mission to save her. I’d save her too! 
However, if I was this guy, I’d just commit suicide and be done with it. First, he’s kicked out of the military. He’s fired from his first job. He get’s beat up, blown up, run down, and nearly drowned. I’d take that as sign that someone didn’t like me. I guess the marine motto is to never give up even if god hates you.
If you like the old time Arnold and Sly action movies, you’ll like this flick too.
What is funny is that the Marines must not teach a lot of stealth in armed services. Once you see the movie you’ll know what I’m talking about. Over all, it’s worth the watch.

FYI: this is an older post that was moved from my myspace.com account.
I can’t even begin to describe how horrible this movie was! 10 minutes into this movie I trying to find any excuse to get up and get out. If you go online and read the movie reviews you will see the critics loved this movie.
“Christian Bale was in his best role ever!“, “Christian Bale can act and be just about anyone!“
Is this enough to say a movie was good? As an actor, if you make a character in movie come to ‘life’ does that make the movie worth watching? Fuck no. Geeze… King Kong played his role well, however the movie was too lonnnnggg. No mater how much icing Bale puts on his character in the movie, it’s still a turd. It’s just now a turd with icing.
The premises of the movie… I’m not sure really what it was. It seems this ex-army ranger (Bale) makes one super fucking huge mistake after another. And he drags his friend along for the joy ride. Some of the reviews were stating “It’s about time that someone showed how life is in East L.A.”
So, what you’re telling me, that it’s common for a hottie (Eva Longiora) to spend all day at work earning a living while her husband is out bar hopping, going to Mexico, and selling stolen weapons all day? Hmm.. Sign me up!
I’ll try not to spoil the ending… Bale dies. Only issue with this, he should have been killed 20 minutes into the movie.
