Wrath of the Ninja

In a word: HE-YAA

In 236 words:


This film falls into the Stupid pointless category, meaning "Everything you have done has only helped the other side!". It happened in 'The supernaturalist', It happened in 'Star wars', it happened in 'Collateral Damage', and it pissed me off!

Story line: Three ninjas have to unite to defeat evil in an age of war.

It's a bit fuzzy. Especially for those that don't go by the Tensho calendar. I had no idea why anything was happening or when, all I knew is that people where dying - 'Gantz' style! The fuzziness is due to the fact that this film is a sliced, diced anime, pasted onto VCR

The music gave away the time the film was made; the 80's. Everything from this film reeks the 80's (Believe me, I've seen 'The Terminator'): The style of drawing, the music, the hair. The hair. Forget That Shit!

If I could relate this film to some video games - wait. I can (and will). 'Mortal Combat', 'Onimusha', 'Ninja Gaiden and 'House of the Dead 2'. Why house of the dead you cry! The voice acting. Could you be any more like a monotonal stone?!

So once again the story Annoyed me and the characterisation really annoyed me. at least make the blue flame guy do a rap; 'cos that's what he sounded like he was going to do!

WHHBI: they were proper ninjas and if the drawing was sharper.

Review of game: World of Goo

http://2dboy.com/games.php?ref=demo1


In a word: addictive.

In 348 words:


I think I just played this game for an hour straight. I'm not actually sure because I was so immersed in the cute little Physics game that I didn't realize what was going on around me (not that anything did happen). WOAH! My computer clock just scared the hell out of me and moved the clock forward, so I thought I'd just sat there for an hour. Any way, this is an art-work game, but a game none-the-less. It's not as adventurous as Half-life or Command and Conquer but it has a charm, The kind of charm where you stay in all day playing it on a rainy afternoon just to see what kind of scaffold you will have to construct next.

Upon first seeing this I thought "what the hell?!" then I was shown what to do by a friend and I immediately fell in love. I'm a fan of almost any Physics game but this one stands out like a tree in a field of grass. The simple yet Beautiful Design of 'Goo' makes up completely to lack of explanation, but nowadays every little thing in a game is printed out in bold writing, so it's nice to have a break from all the seriousness.

The game play is fresh and simple. Connect the blobs. That's all. A certain level of ingenuity is needed but only a low level. I had an absolute blast while playing this and at the end of the demo I felt a massive sense of accomplishment and pride. There is a massive range of levels such as, lengthening a frog's tongue, building across cliffs and a "regurgitation" level - my favourite by far!

I would definitely recommend this game to any one who has a Wii or PC, whether young or not so young, you will have as much of a blast as me. I was also astonished when I found out this game was only made by two men and to them I say "well-bloody-done" and do you think you could give me a job when I graduate from Uni?

Requested Review: www.Hulu.com

In a word: All-American

In 202 words:

First impression is good, nice clean display, seemingly easy navigation and easy to read text.

I just want to state I am English, and to me it would appear that Hulu.com is only for American TV. So therefore it's marked down slightly as i don't really know of many American series apart from Diagnosis murder and Friends.

The search bar is well organized, meaning you wont get hot girls xxx if you search in Shaun of the dead.

You must have an Account to watch videos, TV or Movie, which I’m not obliged to make as I have the Nazi IP, Virgin. But I must to review it so…

Creating an account: this is the most hilarious account creation ever, you can select birth date from as far as 1870. Aside from the date of birth the account creation is practicly the same as every other website apart from that you need an American zip code which I’m not I’m position of... so no videos for me.

Well looks like I’m limited on this one, so ill stick with it's a very pretty site and i'm sure the videos are high quality.

It slightly reminds me of a greyer Veoh.com

To sum it up: I think I would have a lot more fun, should it go global.

First up.

My name is E_M_Y (obviously not my real name) I'm just gonna review some random stuff such as; films, T.V. programs, mugs, politics, music, games and other stuff like that.

So i thought I'd start off reviewing an old film. i mean old as in 1962.

'The brain that wouldn't die'

In a word: mishap.

In 261 words:

The Film starts off with a chilling, frail voice stating: "Let me die - let me die!"
then we fade into a slightly rigid surgery scene, in which a doctor tries an extremely unorthodox... brain heart massage thing. as you can imagine - the doctor states how amazing he is and flaunts off with his wife-to-be to his country house (yeah i thought he was a bit of a dick too) where there is apparent danger from the closet.

On the way to said house, speeding goes tits up and a limp, frail hand is visible then flops off screen. oh yeah, and she's pregnant I think... maybe she isn't it's hard to tell.

Smart-arse doctor runs to his country house with a small bundle and declares when he arrives: "there was a terrible accident, I've got to save her" in one of the most unconvincing voices ever.

So, after looking at some tubes for a while we are subjected to wifey's head rigged up to some sort of thing...

Any way, in fear of giving the story away I'll just settle with; it's slow moving, simple dialog and some parts don't really make sense or maybe that was just me not paying attention due to mates on msn...
The effects are surprisingly good for a film of the time. I like the idea of a "thing" in the cupboard. best thing about it i would have to say is: the title at the beginning (The Brain That Wouldn't Die) is different to the end title (The Head That Wouldn’t Die)
