Transformers: Dark Of The Moon

Transformers: Dark Of The Moon 

 IMDB has a 7.0 rating for the movie. BUT FUCK THAT! That was a fucking 8.5
I was very weary and didnt have my hopes up too much. . . i mean after the "Revenge of the Fallen" who could blame me. But obviously i was gona go watch the bloody movie.
I was talking with my girlfriend last week and she said she wanted to go watch the movie which was even better for me cuz if it sucked i could always go bang her in the bathroom to realease the stress caused by the disappointment. Anyway i was driving on friday and i heard on the radio that Event Cinemas are having a midnight release of the movie and i was like...hey thats perfect. Obviously i decided to flex some mussle for my girl and got us the GoldClass tix :P 75$ but what the hell you watch a movie on a fucking bed...if it is really bad you could always sleep (rofl).
So we go there on Tuesday night and actually there were alot of people in the cinema. One thing i do love about the G.C is the fact that there like 30 people in the whole place. Aint nobody bumping into me or some 2 m. tall guy sitting infront of me to screw my view :D

So anywy the movie starts and...ITS FUCKING AAAAWESOME. I could  tell right from the bat. The way the movie started and that massive build up that it produced. And from there on it was just up-hill.
The Best Transformers movie so far!
There wasnt mindless acton in this movie and the mind blowing special effects this time were carefully scripted and didnt make you yawn (like in the Fallen) because they were too long.
The story was great and it was crafted very well. It connected all the dots and made alot of sense. There nice plot twists in the movie that will make you go "HUUUH?"
I loved how Megatron was shown as weaker and beat down robot due to his last movie`s  injuries. I guess it makes sense it would be hard for him to get repaired but . . . how do the other robots got themselfs fixed? Still it was interesting. However i do dislike how all decepticons are shown as mindless red eyed savages. They are quite intelligent in the Animated Series and have their own personalities. But i guess exploring 30 robots in detail would take too much time. And the movie is already  two and a half hours!
Btw did i mention we have fucking John Malkovich in the movie? Hell yeah baby and you can bet he delivered some very very awesome scenes! Also we had another cameo appearance from Hangover star Ken Jeong who had 1 "piss your pants" scene with Shia in the bathroom. But i wont go ahead and spoil things for you. But ....dont drink when you see the asian guy show up or you might spit on the person infront of you. :D

I loved the cars :D That new ferrari daaaaamn !!!  SPeaking of ferrari there was ALOT..... and i mean ALOT of brand advertising in this movie. I guess that joke that its not a Michael Bay movie because there not enough brand ads in it is true.
I mean we got the bossy CIA women suddenly putting on NIKE high tops wtf that...the shoes were great but really...thats how you promote NIKE? With CIA agents X_X Even NIKE`s rival Adidas had a go when Sam`s family showed up in a green kit. Then there was the Mercedes and phones and all kind of shits. I mean every sponsorship got literraly smacked in your face. I do think they could have done a better job and made the things a bit more fluid. Or im assuming...noone cared on the production crew. Or maybe Michael Bay likes this way of promoting.
But that was pretty much my only beef with the movie.
The ending was solid. I dont think we will see another transformers movie any time soon. I know  Shia LaBeouf is not going to make more of these. And honestly he shouldnt as an actor he needs some good story movies to make otherwise his current star might fade. And he is a damn good actor in my opinion too. Of the newcomers i think Shia is much better than Channing Tatum who is getting all sorts of hype. But on the other hand Channy got more diverse roles and the ladies love him. So yeah . . . go Shia show us what you got. But i digress. . . the ending was solid and kinda of making sure for now there wont be another Transformers movie why is that Jimmy you ask? Ill tell you why,...because alot of the main characters died :D Okay not that many...but when main characters start dying. . . . you know there aint gona be a 4thquel coming anytime soon.

Still the movie was GREAT! 8.5/10!
And pls go watch in the cinema those special effects and massive fights arent made for your small ass TV at home X_X

STEAM
Man how can you not love Valve. Those awesome jerks just released their summer promotion and it is OFF THE HOOK! I meant it. . .. massive slashes on prices. Like -75% of games. And a small competition where you can try to earn yourself some phat loot. I got myself Borderlands and its 4DLC for just 8$ and who knows how many games ill be tricked into buying. Damn you Gabe Newell!! X_X

Magic The Gathering
Finally i managed to beat all the archenemy missions. Damn Nicol Bolas the last boss was really fucking tough to beat. And his deck was fucking retarded. I honestly kept dying just because of the scheme cards. His deck in itself had no power at all. Also a trick for everybody out there who is struggling with handling the bosses. Use your favorite deck and put the AI team to go with the ELF deck. The massive amount of creatures they dish out will eat alot of the enemy`s removal. So you have more chances to use your kill combo creatures. Some games even i used the Elf deck. I mean imagine 3 elf decks and then dropping couple of Heedles One`s . . . now that is some big big fat creature right there and they have trample so the AI is forced to start blocking with more than 1 creature. All in all i think it was the 1st archenemy and the final boss that gave me any real trouble. The other decks just dont work that well with the schemes i guess.
The Ancient Depths deck is great i see the winning combos but it is too messed up to be competitive. Too easy to screw the plan with just couple of removals or counterspells. And even with all that massive mana gain it is still a very slow deck. I hope the next expansion brings more cards for it. Because right now that deck is like the lamest.

So thats about it for now. Oh and btw Darky i know you will see this:
GET YOUR LAZY ASS READY BECAUSE IM GOING TO NEED YOU IN D2N SEASON 3

X-Men: First Class

X-Men: First Class














Ah the 4th X-Men movie is upon us. It took me couple of days before i can go to the cinema to see it but even then the cinema was quite full and i had a pretty bad seat :(
Nevertheless the movie was great. I had some doubts after the first teasers and pictures coming out. But the movie turned out great. Id say the only X men movie that is better than it is X2.

The reset of the franchise did its job well. I have not red the First Class comic books so ive no idea if the story they used was any good. But still as a start up to the whole X universe it was great.
I have to say the whole cast did an amazing job. They had great chemistry especially James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as Xavier and Magneto respectively.
And for me personally Michael did such incredible job with his way of depicting the young Magneto. I really felt the sadness and strugles and that internal conflict he had with himself. We can really see the transformation from Erik to Magneto by the end of the movie. And his german and even that Argentinian performances also greatly enchanced my experiance. There were couple of moments that offered everybody in the audience a good laugh and the jokes didnt felt forced.
The BEST moment of the movie was Hugh Jackman`s cameo appearance as Wolverine. i swear everybody in the cinema skippeda bit when he showed up on the screen. It is a real shame he was not in the movie but i think it was a smart move to at least give him some kind of a spot in the movie in order to be able to add him to the next installment. Actually i wonder if Hugh`s own schedule was the reason Wolverine had such a minor role.
I must say i was pleasantly surprised by Kevin Bacon`s apperance as the main villain. And i also think he did a phenomenal job. I really loved to hate him in the movie. Also Kevin Bacon is one of my favorite actors. He is not a AAA lister and maybe alot of people nowadas have forgotten about him. But i hold him dear to my heart.

So bottom line the new X-Men movie is well worth the money. Its entertaining, its fun  it has alot of action and a pretty powerfull story (Marvel wise i mean) so it will make any X-men fan out there happy. But also people who are just looking for a good sci-fi flick will not leave the cinema dissapointed.
Not to mention that the movie`s imdb  score is pretty good.

UFC 130

UFC 130 RAMPAGE vs HAMILL


Okay this event happened on May 29 but i just had no time to talk about it until now.
So yeah it was a nice quite sunday morning here in good ol Oz i was home and had plans to lay in my bed and enjoy the show. Well things didnt workout that way at all.
All in all the fights were dissapointing. The main event didnt deliver and all the hype was wasted and just made the fans including myself upset. The co-main event was not bad. Roy Nelson showed some heart in there but lets face it. The dude IS FAT! He should get into better shape. It literally showed during the fight how out of breath he was. He could barely keep going. Altho Mir got kinda tired too and could not finish Nelson.
Out of the 6 fights i watched (i slept tru the first 4 prelims) the Toress vs Johnson fight was the one i enjoyed the most.
The 3 rounds went kind of the same. Johnson on top of Miguel and trying to make something happen. But Miguel had such an amazing jiu jutsu so left Mighty Mouse with nothing. He was attacking from the guard and sweeping and controling everything. But at the end of the fight he lost on points. And probably a huge factor in his loss was due to him being on the bottom. But as a BJJ practicioner myself i did appreciate the amazing techniques that Miguel showed.

Other than that tho. . . . the event was  disappointing.

Right now my car has passed the 135k mark and is having this blip everytime i start it that it needs a service check. But i did have a check couple of days before i hit the 135k so i dont understand why does it display that msg on my screen. And whats worst ive no bloody idea how to make it stop. And im too lazy to go to the mechanic and check X_X
Sigh. . . . .got to learn more about cars.

D2N

My town might finally die tonight. We have a quite big spike today and tommorow is just totally out of our reach. Still a good run. Day 24. I do not intend to camp and push it further altho i do agree couple of extra days and pts would be pretty cool on my soul. Maybe next time.
