Oh well time to do a new journal and all,since been a while. So lets see whats new.



Well the title says it all. That is if this is a movie you like,lol. Its time again for some movie reviews from me. Have to say this is getting to be pretty regular, and actually fun. So I want you to know that I only review the ones I own, not rent. Also that I havnt been watching as many movies right now cause been running around Liberty City,lol. So this time I have two reviews for you.

So for the first one I watched the other night,Predator. Now if you are not familiar with this one. Then its your basic alien comes to earth to hunt humans. Humans end up being special forces that put up a fight, staring Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is also an interesting movie in that you have two governors in it, Arnold and Jesse Ventura former governor of Minnesota. For me I always enjoy this movie, which is the reason I spent money on it. Now dont get me wrong, the video is great for this movie and the audio as well. This Blu-ray is about the best this movie will look. Having said that if your not a fan just rent it, as it has no extra features at all other than the trailer. Most likely it will come out again some day as a special edition with an avc encode instead of the mpeg one it has now, as well as some bonus features. Until that day just rent this unless your fan of Arnold or the predator series. Understand this is not Casablanca level acting, its an action movie. Its got Arnold in it, former pro wrestler Jesse Ventura and former pro football player Carl Weathers. So if you like a movie with a bunch of big guys with big muscles and big guns, this is your movie. For me, my favorite scene is after Jesse gets killed in the movie. No its not because of his acting,but the reaction that ensues. I would have to say its the first time I ever saw a jungle be mowed with machine gun fire.

Next up we have last nights movie. This is the one that the title is about, its Twister. If you have never seen Twister you really should. I also know that most likely one goober here knew from the title what the review was about since its one of their favorites,lol. So this movie would go under the heading of disaster movie. Even though its not, its based around a natural event. If you cant tell by the name, Twister is about tornadoes. Actually its about some storm chasers trying to get a special scientific payload into one. Its a really good movie with nice a nice story going on in all the action. Where else do you get to see a cow fly by. I have to say the video looks amazing, and the audio just sounds amazing as well. They did a great job on the transfer for this Blu-ray and the lossless works so well with all the action. On a side note this was one of the first dvd releases. It also comes filled with some nice extra features. A history channel show on storm chasers as well as a few featuretes on the making of the movie and interviews with the cast. So I would have to give this one a recommend. I say that only because you have to be one that would enjoy a movie about tornadoes. If you are then this movie is worth the buy as the Blu-ray copy is just worth it.

So its starting to look like I only review movies now,lol. Well it is something I have always dreamed I might could do someday. Even just as a hobby on a blog really. So as I said earlier I have not been watching movies as much as normal. I have been playing Grand Theft Auto 4. Now some people might not like it for the violence and all, and some do. As for me I find it entertaining and a nice bit of fun really. I mean where else can you walk in for a job interview, stand up and shoot the guy in the head,lol. Or really just get a few blocks away and the cops stop chasing you. So now onto the personal stuff as always. Still on my diet(new eatting habit) and its going well. I find it amazing I am not hungry anymore and I am loosing weight, so far 26lbs. I do feel better that I made a change and am getting healthier. I mean I know that if I didnt then it wasnt going to be good later on. Besides I have to stay around for a long time cause I got someone I got to bug all the time *poke* they know who they are,lol. Well nothing else new right now,but hopefully maybe next week will have some new stuff to ramble on about. As always be sure to check my link below to see what new movies I have, or have on order.

*edit*
Well I was silly in not taking my own advice. Never turn off the computer. So I did turn it off to clean it today. Opened it up and used air to get some dust out. Tried to turn it on. Notice the word tried. I am typing from my work computer right now. My main one.......well I finally after checking all connections. Took the cpu fan off........when I did the cpu came with it. It was fused to it somehow. I dont get what was wrong, or what went wrong. Best I can figure is that the grease got to dry and the normal working heat turned it to glue or something. Needless to say that it must also have been bad or the computer would have turned on. So now I am down to my work one with the not so comfortable keyboard and set up. I can still communicate and all,but not as well. Since every personal thing was on that one, and where I kept emails and the like. I am lucky in that I had just backed the whole thing up the other night. So nothing important can be lost. Can always just get the stuff from the old hard drive as well and make it an external one really. Oh well things happen cause they are ment to be, must be for the best for some reason. Still this has not discouraged me from a new tv, just have to think some on what all I can manage now that I got to get a new computer. Since I am not going to build one again, or fix this one I had built. At best I might tinker with it some for the parts or try to make it a server or something,but thats it.
