They need to learn how to end a movie

Jason — Tue, 19 May 2009 11:57:05 +0000

I just got done watching Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and I will say I enjoyed it. Sure it could have been better, but one can’t complain about the story, we already knew the story if you’ve seen the first two Underworlds. I’ll never figure out what the joy of making the last part of a series is and then doing the start of it all, just go in order for once. The ending of the movie was rather anticlimatic for obvious reasons. In general all three movies have had horrible endings, which makes me wonder what they turned down. The Underworld crew stuck to their guns on using costumes and props for the lycans and werewolves when they could, and I give huge props for doing that sort of thing now a days. It’s a neat watch, but only a solid purchase if you really like the series or the idea of werewolves tearing apart vampires, such as me.

For anyone out there who still enjoys one of the most well known animes out there, you have the final releases of it’s remasted set coming out today as well. I personally plan on picking them up. Honestly I haven’t watched through all of them yet, but I plan on it now that most of the shows I watch have had or will have their season finales soon. What that means is I might have to go back and revisit some favorites.

Next on my table to watch is Taken, a great little movie that I watched back when it first came out and loved it, but then again I am a sucker for revenge movies. Seriously, if you have any revenge movie suggestions, let me know.

I started reading the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks here about a week ago and even though I’m only a few chapters into it I love it. I don’t know why, I have been spoiled by first person novels a bit and started to sneer at the standard third person narative, but this stuff gets my approval. Based on what I’ve read on his site, this is the only thing he’s written. Huh.

I was going to put something up about a web comic or two here but honestly, I’m really tired. I had no idea how long writing and linking a post could take if you wanted to toss in a lot of links. Either way though, I’m going to bed so I can get up and get the firmware on my phone updated… crap, I need to back up that stuff first.

Bah!
