Knowing / The Three Stooges

 Over the past few days I watched both of these movies. First up is The Three Stooges. Will Sasso, Sean Hayes and Chris Diamontopolous playing Curly, Larry and Moe respectively. They nailed their roles perfectly. The film had the classic sound effects and opening/ending music from the original series. Not sure why the cast of Jersey Shore was involved with the film but for what happens, I'm glad they joined.

This one stars Nicholas Cage and is all about numbers. 50 years before Cage shows up there's a girl who starts writing down a bunch of numbers before placing the paper inside a time capsule to later be discovered by Cage's son in the film. When Cage starts putting the numbers together, he realizes that they are dates in which disasters are revealed with date and number of casualties involved. With 3 dates left to occur before disaster strikes, it's up to Cage to try and figure everything out. I enjoyed both films(which of course you knew that because they got my seal of approval.

Abduction

So for today's hangout(last night) we watched Abduction on Netflix. I personally wasn't interested in this because I was judging the fact that a Twilight actor was in it. I was surprised though. The movie is watchable. There are some pretty good fight scenes in there.

TV

Haven't updated lately. I've been distracted with Okami HD. During yesterday's play-through, I caught up to the point I left off in the Wii version of the game. I'm very much enjoying this game. Other than that not much to say. The shows I watch on TV are returning. Once Upon A Time, Castle and American Horror Story have returned. Next week Supernatural will return. Not sure when Arrow starts again. I know Revolution comes back in March. TMNT and Green Lantern: TAS should be back soon. Supah Ninjas comes back February. Wow I watch too much stuff.

Okami HD

While it wasn't a "resolution" of mine, I am attempting to actually finish whatever game I start. I tend to leave it abandoned after a while either because I got stuck somewhere, or I started playing something else on the side that got my full attention. I'm currently playing Okami HD and WWE '13. This is easy to balance since I finished the campaign mode in WWE '13 and I just play though a few matches for fun. I'm really loving Okami HD. It was meant to be in high definition. I also own Okami on PS2 and Wii. When I got the PS2 version off of eBay, I had also bought some other game and I ended up playing that instead and didn't even start Okami. It's pretty much brand new minus the shrink wrap I took off to look inside. Since I never played it I decided to get the Wii version when that came out. I played that but eventually got stuck at some point and never went back for a good while. On a random day I picked it up again and managed to get myself unstuck but still didn't try to finish the game. So now this time around I need to get past the point I reached in the Wii version and finish it through. I'm sure I won't get 100% on it, but as long as I get to the ending I'll consider it a mission accomplished. The good thing is that since it's been so long since I last played, the game feels 95% new to me. I do remember things here and there, but overall it's pretty much starting over.

The Hobbit

Just got back from watching The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I enjoyed the film despite not following the LOTR series. I saw the first one but don't really remember it much. I think my favorite character in the film was Gandalf. He was pretty badass at times. The scenery and soundtrack was great too. I'm willing to watch the rest and go back to the LOTR series and finish those off too.

Looper - Premium Rush

Tonight was a Joseph Gordon-Levitt movie night for the hangout I had with my friends today(was Thursday). Rented both and enjoyed both. I wouldn't have been disappointed paying money at the theater to see either one. I personally felt everyone did good with their roles. With Looper, I really like the little kid playing Cid(Pierce Gagnon). He was great.

Premium Rush has Levitt playing the role of a bike messenger(delivery service) in NY.Gets into some issues because of contents he's suppose to deliver. Does the job because of the rush he gets off of it compared to some office job where he'd be stuck in a room for hours doing boring stuff.

Looper has Levitt as a guy working for the mafia that disposes of bodies when needed. Movie's set in Kansas 2044. The bodies come from the future through time travel from 2074. He's assigned a time and place to shoot on arrival. Gets his payday with each kill. Things get interesting when the next person he's suppose to kill is his future self.

I'd recommend both movies; and thus they earn my seal of approval. 

GetGlue

Not sure if I did it right but I have finally decided to request some of the stickers I've earned on GetGlue. Let's see how long it takes and what/how many they send.
