Dead Island



(this is a video game - not a movie)

Writing Credits: Michal Madej, Rafal W. Orkan, Haris Orkin, Pawel Selinger

Orkan AND Orkin ... that's strange?

This game is a lot of fun. I am the chinese lady character because she is best with sharp weapons and slicing zombies heads clean off is my favorite thing to do.

The story line is kind of wack. The fact that you cannot play co-op unless it's via the internet (can NOT play split screen at home) IS WACK !!!

actually the only thing I like about this game is that it scares me sometimes (zombie games always do) and that you just wreck people with blunt objects and sharp shit.

I also DO like the way there are separate groups of people who each collectively have their own opinion on what is the best next move - now that there has been a zombie apocalypse.

I would like this game a LOT more (and probably wouldn't have the discipline to stop playing) if the story line was awesome... although maybe it's just not the story line I wish it was (which I will not say either online because the government is watching).

ANYHOW - this game is a lot of fun and probably worth the purchase.

Your Highness



Directed by David Gordon Green (he directed Pineapple Express too)

ehh...

This movie had its funny moments, and I did kind of like that they tried to do something different by making a period piece comedy, but 'Monty Python and The Holy Grail' was better.

I feel like these guys are going in the same direction of any crew of comedians - same shit, different costumes.

I think it might have actually been funny if everyone played 'true' to the character and time frame... At the end of the day I think I'm tryin to find a better way to say:

Danny McBride ruined this movie for me.

I was thinking about Will Ferrell and his crew, or Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Etc... and people always say "he's the same in every movie" - BUT I like a lot of Will Ferrell's movies because I think he's funny... even if it's the same act/different costume.

I think the real problem I had with Your Highness is - Danny McBride trying to be a new character (cuz he was different in Pineapple Express) and I think his character in Your Highness just sucked. He wasn't funny, and it was enough to kill the whole movie for me.

don't bother seeing it is my 2 cents.

The Kids Are All Right



Directed by Lisa Cholodenko

Saw this with the fam - a pretty good movie to watch with the fam.

I liked it - got nothin else really to say. Definitely a lot of funny scenes and interesting moments.

This movie was so interesting and awesome - very creative

It is a little boring at times - but what movie isn't?

I have seen a couple other movies too I think since now and the last post, but I have been out of town and not good about keeping track of things

see this - love it - open your mind
