Like most of the movies I've seen this season, I wasn't expecting How To Train Your Dragon 2 to be good nor would it live up to the success of it's predecessor. So going into this movie, I wasn't expecting TOO much, but ratings on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes have been telling me that it's stellar.

That can't be right, almost all Dream Works sequels are terrible!

Well, in the end, How To Train Your Dragon 2 ends up being one of this years best animated movies and even manages to be just as good, if not better, than the original.

Movie Review: 22 Jump Street Review

Definitely not a shitty sequel
(image from: http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTcwNzAxMDU1M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwNDE2NTU1MTE@._V1_.jpg)

I appreciate my comedy flicks. Without comedy movies, my movie viewing would be a lot less enjoyable in my opinion. You need some laughter to go along with all that drama and grit. It's nice to see that 22 Jump Street delivers on the laughs non-stop throughout the entirety of it's run time.

22 Jump Street came at a weird place. People are sick of sequels, especially comedy sequels. Who the hell wants to see idiots doing stupid shit another time? Surely 22 Jump Street wouldn't be funny. It could NEVER live up to it's predecessor, 21 Jump Street.

Well, the good news is that it does, and it even surpasses 21 Jump Street in terms of hilarity.

The Hate Corner: 300: Rise of an Empire sex scene

TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW!

This is the Hate Corner. Where I get to rant about whatever the fuck I want to rant about.

And this time in the hate corner is the sex scene from 300: Rise of an Empire, the sequel to 300.

So let me get this out of the way first. I thought this movie was alright. It wasn't overly special nor was it terrible. It was your typical action movie with little substance but badass visuals and sub-par acting.

You sir...are a fucking idiot

Now, the main thing that made me go 'What the hell were they thinking??' in this particular movie was the sex scene between main character Themistocles and main antagonist Artemisia.

Now, I liked Artemisia. Eva Green really made her into a strong villain who was portray well as an insane yet powerful military leader.

This chick is CRAZEH

I can't say the same for Themistocles though. He was probably one of the worst leaders I've seen on screen. I'm certain his historical counter part was just fine, but jesus christ, in Rise of an Empire, he's just got no idea what the hell he's doing.

Edge of Tomorrow and Video Games

I wrote a little review for Edge of Tomorrow, a excellent sci-fi film that surprised me by being not as bad as I was expecting it to be! In fact, it was incredible!

I had some more thinking time with the movie. While some thought that the movie wasn't great, I can understand the sentiment. I mean, it is an action sci-fi flick in the summer. A genre that's generally pretty 'meh' when it comes to big wig film lovers. Even I had my doubts.

So why did I like Edge of Tomorrow so much? Well, let me tell you...

Movie Review: The Edge of Tomorrow

Spoilers: Tom Cruise does indeed run in this movie.

When I first saw the trailer for The Edge of Tomorrow, I thought this was going to be a really bad attempt at sci fi and a half assed attempt as romance.

Oh look, it's Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, and they seem to have powers that let them relive a single day together. Sure there's action, but...eeeh.

SO I went and actually saw the movie because I'm a loser and have no job and I gotta say, this was a VERY pleasant surprise. The movie didn't suck at all!

The Most Hype Announcements: E3 Conferences

The major E3 conferences are over!

So I'm going to cover each conference in order and list the hypest shit that was announced.

So strap on your seat belts kiddos, it's gonna be a wild ride!

CHOO CHOO MOTHER FUCKERS!

Games to look out for in 2014

2013 was a BLAST!

We got games like The Last of Us, Super Mario 3D World, GTAV, Pokemon X/Y and so much more!

SO what's on the horizon for 2014?

Well, we're already a couple of months into 2014, but we haven't gotten to the meat of things yet. Sure we've had Titanfall, Infamous Second Son and Mario Kart 8, but what's next? What will keep me warm during the cold cold Canadian winters as I sit in front of my TV's friendly glow?

Well, here's a list of  games to look out for in 2014!

1. The Last of Us Remastered

Over 200 GOTY awards is...pretty good!

I know what you're thinking. Sure, this might not seem like a good option, but personally, it's something most PS4 owners should look out for.

The original Last of Us was, in short, AMAZING. Awesome graphics, gripping story, and tight tigh gameplay. Aw yiss.

So how do you make an amazing game even better? Well, first off, increase the resolution! Yes, The Last of Us Remastered is now in 1080p!

What else? INCREASE THAT FRAME RATE!  While The Last of Us looked great, some people might have issues with it's 30 FPS cap that could sometimes drop and feel sluggish. But don't fear! The remastered edition is at a buttery smooth 60 FPS.

The Worst of E3

Gamer Christmas can have its stockings full of coal too

So my last entry was all about the most important E3 moments for myself. Next up will be the absolute worst of the current Big Three of the console market.

Well, at least according to my memory. This list won't be in any particular order. Just sit back and enjoy the terrible events of the past.

Anyways, let's dive right into the shittiness that E3 has the potential to be...and in order to start it off, let's look at one of the most infamous press conferences of all time...

1. Giant Enemy Crabs, Second Jobs, and RIIIIIDGE RACEEEEER!

Oh...my...god. Sony is revealing a new console this year? E3 2006 is going to be one hell of a show! I heard this thing had some of the best graphics we'll ever see! I heard that this console was going to build on the successes of the PS2! I also heard that a ton of new games were going to be shown to get the fans hyped!

*about an hour and a half later*

E3's Most Important Moments (My choices)
