NOBODY was as skeptical about this movie as I was

I liked the 1st MiB, but it wasn't anything to write home about, can barely even remember it and don't really care. But now I think I will have to go back and add it to my collection because of this movie. I was NOT planning on seeing this movie anytime soon, and it wasn't bothering me in the slightest, a friend demanded I watch it and insisted it was really good...I then recall a review I read on rotten tomatoes that seeing Josh Brolin impersonate a young Tommy Lee Jones was enough for the price of admission....and let me tell you, that is EXACTLY it, you will sit DUMBFOUNDED watching Josh speak EXACTLY like Tommy, guestures, facial expressions, it's really something, and Tommy is a friggin unique statuesque like guy...Will couldn't even impersonate his voice without adding too much of a western/country drawl.
long story short...too late...you HAVE to see it.
other points...LOVED the villian, VERY unique and intriguing but not TOO over the top...if that's possible in a 2013 made for 3D alien movie with 2 A-list actors. Do yourself a favor and replace the horrid memory of the stupidity of MiB2 with this gem, and have a great time. God Josh Brolin, you kinda made me fall in love...
Oh, and if your a fan of Mass Effect...there is a treat in there for you. 1 of many small treats and chuckle moments.
Definitely a winner, I'm returning this copy for the 3D version though, I want the full monty!
What's great about it: You'd expect it to be god-awful...but it's nowhere NEAR.
What's not so great: I sometimes think Will can be a bit too obnoxious..like Bad Boys obnoxious.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What does the American Dream mean today? For Niko Bellic, fresh off the boat from Europe, it is the hope he can escape his past. For his cousin, Roman, it is the vision that together they can find fortune in Liberty City, gateway to the land of opportunity.As they slip into debt and are dragged into a criminal underworld by a series of shysters, thieves and sociopaths, they discover that the reality is very different from the dream. In a city that worships money and status, life is heaven for those who prosper and a living nightmare for those who don't. Developed by the superstar designers at Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto IV continues the exciting legacy of the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Freeze!!!

WELL...you read all the other reviews...it's pretty much a great game, ALMOST TOO GOOD.
But my only gripe is that it you have the 60 or 80 gb ps3...it'll freeze up for sometimes up to 15-20 seconds...making you want to roll your eyes to the back of your skull at times.
Everything is OVERDONE, the city is HUGE, too huge, sooo many commands, soooo many actions, soooo much stuff to do...it's like the Sims meets the Matrix...i think...
What's great about it: Practically perfect in every way
What's not so great: if you're using a 60 or 80 gb ps3, it'll freeze up BAD
I would recommend this to a friend!

Instead of taking notes during lectures and meetings, let this digital voice recorder capture ideas and concepts for you. The large LCD indicates recording status, memory and battery usage for at-a-glance updates.

Got Class?

As far as voice recorders go, this gets the job done better than most. Its digital, so no tapes...which is GREAT. Its got lotsa room, 4 seperate folders and you can save...im not really sure how much time in each folder, but it differs based on the quality of voice recording you go for, of course i'd recommend the highest quality setting.
That's exactly how I did it, and I NEVER ran out of room. Of course, I only had two classes, in a Nursing Prgram that lasted 2 years. But the classes were sometimes 5 hours long. and sometimes, I'd record useless banter...so it has ample space for the average college student.
The BIG problem is when you're playing it back, the button wheel is quite small...and you have to tap it to skip to the next file...or recording session, and hold it to fast forward or rewind within the recording session to a specific part...
that's the BIG problem, with a 5 hour lecture...im holding the button trying to get to a specific point, and if I accidentally would release it and press it again, it would skip all the way to the beginning or end...and i'd have to do it all over again...or id be listening to it, and would try to rewind back a few seconds, and end up pressing it instead of holding it, and it would skip back to the beginning or end...VERY ANNOYING...alas, i put up with it...live with that, and your all good.
What's great about it: XHQ mode for recording, VERY clear and loud
What's not so great: needs a seperate rewind/fast forward button
I would recommend this to a friend!
