I barely can recommend it
on September 26, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
The series could go either way on this one. This isn't a movie series that could go campy anytime soon, but it's also one that could end with this movie and no one would mind, including myself. To the best of my knowledge, all loose ends have been tied up and though there is a new Jigsaw, to not know who he goes after in the future isn't a big deal, you just know he's out there and that's enough. Saw V is coming out soon, but I don't think it'll return the series to what it used to be.
What's great about it: It continues the Saw franchise
What's not so great: Not a whole lot of substance left
I would recommend this to a friend!

Here's where it should've stopped
on September 26, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
This is where the series should've ended. It's not the best of the first three, but the ending leaves you satisfied and when you see how it ends, you just don't think they could make more in the way that still makes them relevent to the point of what made Jigsaw a unique villian. The acting from the female "hero" of the film feels wooden, but other than that, not bad. If you've seen the past movies, you pretty much know what you're in for with gore, but the movie gives a nice twist at the end that makes me enjoy it more.
What's great about it: Still involves the real Jigsaw
What's not so great: They continued the series

Last of the great seasons
on September 26, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
As stated before, this is the last of the truly great seasons, in my opinion. While the rest have good episodes, this is the the last one that I feel you can watch pretty much from start to finish and enjoy them all. It ties up some loose strings from past seasons, has some great comedic moments and even has Micheal J. Fox. :D (I'm an 80's kid, which makes him awesome).
What's great about it: more supporting cast involvement
What's not so great: Season 4 starts the downhill
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you like Clooney, go ahead
on September 25, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
I thought the movie would be good based on the commercials, but despite this movie being refered to as a comedy, it's not really that funny. Despite it having a decent plot, there just wasn't anything about the movie to keep you watching. Think of it as a conversation you're hearing a few people have. It may hold your attention for a bit, but when you walk away, it won't bother you not knowing how it ends.
What's great about it: The sets were cool and had some funny moments
What's not so great: Pretty much what you expect from a Clooney movie
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

360 Gold version is the best
on September 25, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
If you have a 360 or plan on getting one, go for the Gold version of that game. It have the most characters and a slightly different story because of that. But if you only have a PS2, then this is still a great purchase. It plays like Xmen Legends, but has much more options because of the huge cast. If you like dungeon crawler games, comic games or just RPG's, this is a must.
What's great about it: The widest array of Marvel heroes ever in one game
What's not so great: PS2's version has the worst graphics

I'm on the fence with this one
on September 25, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
I really should've read a synopsis of this movie before watching it. I thought it would be something more along the lines of Apocalypto or march of the Penguins. A mock documentary of what life was back then. I wasn't expecting it to be a love story taking a stone age man across the nation to fulfill a prophecy and take down some egyptian "god". Not confusing if you watch the movie, but to go from guys who use stone weapons taking on the guys who're making the pyramids, there's some serious problems. There are a lot of things I didn't care for in this movie, and a lot of them are my own fault for thinking it was about something else, but there was still a number of things that bugged me, regardless of what I was expecting. In the end, it comes down to what you like. I didn't like it.
What's great about it: Some very cool scenes
What's not so great: You really need to suspend disbelief
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best Saw film of the four
on September 22, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
Continuing the story of Jigsaw, this film is easily the best of the first four. The acting is the best, the plot and puzzles are the best. While I don't think the series should end yet, it certainly hasn't gotten better than this one.
What's great about it: its' a smart horror movie
What's not so great: Pass if you don't like gore.

Scrubs continues it's second season successfully. Little is changed in it's formula and the supporting cast get bigger parts in the stories, which is a huge plus.
What's great about it: More of the same
What's not so great: nothing to really complain about

John Dorian (Zach Braff) and a handful of other novice doctors deal with the often bizarrely comic but sometimes tragic events of life in an American hospital in this collection of episodes from the television series Scrubs. Scrubs: Season One is a four-DVD set which features all 24 episodes from the show's 2001-2002 season. All episodes have been transferred to disc in the full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Stereo. Bonus materials include episode commentary tracks featuring members of the cast and series creator, Bill Lawrence; profiles of the players; outtakes and deleted scenes; an interview with leading man Zach Braff; a look at the making of the show; a music video for Lazlo Bane's song "Superman" (the theme song for the series); and more.

Great show
on September 20, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
This is a breath of fresh air from all the medical dramas that are on TV. A sitcom is great when it can make you laugh and cry and never seem like it's pushing it. The first season does this and set it up for a great number of years to come. The episodes are extended from what was on TV too, so you'll see what had to be cut for time.
What's great about it: Funny, great cast
What's not so great: not much in the extras

New type of horror movie
on September 20, 2008
Posted by: Gorkous
from mankato, MN
This may be the first saw movie, but it's the second best in my opinion. The acting comes across as cheesy at times, but the plot will constantly keep you guessing till the end. If you like horror, suspense, or mystery movies, you can't miss out on this one.
What's great about it: It keeps you guessing
What's not so great: Not for the faint of heart

How can I buy the AC/DC Live rock band pack? It doesn't seem to be available on the PS Store.

Go to an actual, brick and mortor store and pick it up. It's that simple.

Does the Wii play DVD's?

Sadly, no. Kinda pointless though since most everyone at this point has a DVD player or a different system that will play them.

what is the difference between rockband and guitarhero which is better

Rock Band has multiple instuments (two guitars, drums, and a microphone) and has songs that have been programed to make use of all those instruments. With Guitar Hero, you use just that. A guitar and only a guitar. The songs weren't created with the other instruments in mind, but with Rock Band, you don't have to use all the instuments if you don't want to or don't have the people there at the moment.
