I had myself a bit of a horror movie marathon last night. Ghost House Pictures put out an "Underground" lineup of independent and foreign films, so instead of watching American or Japanese horror this holiday season, I opted to see what Europe has to offer ( Read more... )

Whoa whoa whoa, it's been forever. I should post here more often. Not like anything terribly riveting has happened lately, but I might as well make use of this thing ( Read more... )

Yep, I imported the Japanese version of Siren: New Translation, because the American version is only going to be released as downlodable content or something stupid like that. I'm three chapters into it, and I'm really digging it so far ( Read more... )

[*REC] is a really good movie. It's about a television reporter and cameraman who follow a group of firefighters on a call to an apartment building. Once there, one of the residents attacks them. Immediately afterwards, the Spanish equivalent of the CDC quarantines the entire building, leaving the small group of survivors to contend with a deadly ( Read more... )

Ah, MGS4 released today and I have my copy. So far, it's weird, even for Metal Gear. I think one of the most common misconceptions people have about the series is that it's some first-person shooter Tom Clancy crap. Sure, it deals with war and there's plenty of shooting (if you're not into sneaking), but the feel is more... how do I put this? It ( Read more... )

Well, the arcade version of Street Fighter IV is essentially complete. Though I haven't played it myself, and probably won't get to for a while, I am a bit disappointed with the final result. Street Fighter IV has been described as an homage to Street Fighter II. All 12 of the original cast members are in there, plus four newcomers and a new final ( Read more... )

So I've been seeing television commercials and hearing radio spots trying to get people to visit http://creditfairy.org/, a website that teaches people how to raise their credit score. Judging by the number of websites and services that offer to tell you how good your credit is (for a fee), I ( Read more... )

Iron Man is a good movie, easily one of the best superhero flicks to come out in recent years. The origins story is great, and I like how they tied it into current events ( Read more... )

Playing "Grand Theft Auto IV" right now. It's a beautiful, beautiful game. I don't know how many times I've stopped just to admire all the detail put into the world. They're needless details for sure, but they make for one of the most visually impressive games I've ever seen. I mean, who cares if the interior of a garage has fully modeled tools and ( Read more... )

Scratch that, apparently a good portion of the new Siren cast is American. I guess Sony hasn't given up on America (evidenced by the fact that the voices are American English, not British English), which is a good thing. The only bad thing is, attempts to Americanize uniquely Japanese things tend to fail (lol, American nursing student in Tokyo). ( Read more... )
