Space Santa

Kinda crazy, though I wanna see him play it on expert.

Clash of the Titans. While I’m not a mega fan of the original, I liked it enough as a kid to watch it a lot and have a mild sweet spot in my heart for it. So I’m not really all that upset with the idea of this remake. I think it looks quite good to be honest. That is, until we finally see the Kraken. Why does this new version look like every other alien monster to come out recently? It looks a hell of lot like the Rancor (Star Wars), Cloverfield, Locust (Gears), Chimera (Resistance), at least in its face.

Medeia - Antichristmas. Love this band so much.

Picked up G.R.A.W. 2 again over the weekend to try and finish up the single-player campaign on elevated risk. Man I love this game.

The cast of Mass Effect 2. Man I cannot wait for this game.

War of the Worlds 2: The Next Wave. So take what I just said about the first War of the Worlds and throw it out the window. Terrible movie. While I can appreciate the story, this looks like it was just above college level. The CG effects are actually better than the first, but the acting is atrocious, and the shots of them inside the walker look like they just draped torn up cloth in a room.

H. G. Wells’ War of the Worlds (2005). This is the C. Thomas Howell movie, not the Tom Cruise version. The budget is low and the special effects are really bad, but if you look at it as a continuation of the B movie tradition of the 50s, it’s actually not too horrible. The story is much closer to the book I hear. I need to read it.
