Movies - Salt

Title: Salt

Distributor: Columbia

People in it you might know:
Angelina Jolie - If you don't know her your possibly blind, deaf, and definitely not a potential adopted child
Liev Schrieber - He was in stuff, you'd know him if you see him. I think he was Sabertooth
The Review
Short Version: A decent action flick that has a pretty obvious twist but still gives it a go at keeping you confused on the hero's motives till the end. Good if you need a dose of face punching and stuff blowing up.

Where have I been?

Work, E3 following, movies, games, and...wait. None of your damn business!

Paul Robertson is awesome!

My thoughts on the potential for "Captain America: The First Avenger"

When the concept images for Captain American: The First Avenger first came out a month or two ago I was, some what dismayed. Most of the Marvel movies that have come out have started to veer towards Marvel's Ultimate Universe.

I don't know why, but seeing this Poster has calmed SOME of my worries, I mean this is NOT just a poster, this is a work of art (Click to see the full image):



That said, I have my reasons for worrying about this movie. Captain America is a VERY tricky character.

The Problem With Spider-man

So I was online yesterday looking at various message boards, blogs, and websites that had information on San Diego Comic Con 2010. One of the things I came across was The New Spider-man video game called Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions


One of the voice actors announced for one of the voices of Spider-man was Neil Patrick Harris. Despite my misgivings about the current state of the Spider-man Universe, the fact that Neil Patrick Harris will be voicing one of the versions of Spider-man is a definite plus, and an incentive for me to buy it.
