whats up

I'm now back at school. It's a bit depressing since I'm not a bum anymore. Oh well. Classes have been going well. I'm taking this intro to cognitive science class which is very, very interesting. The class is all about how the brain works in relation to the thought processes and how it still cannot be explained how things are.

I watched a couple of movies today: The Aviator and Blade Trinity. It's a good thing I watched the Aviator first because watching Blade Trinity was just horrible. The Aviator is a great movie showcasing the prime years of Howard Hughes. It's sad that he couldn't control his disorder even though he wanted to. Hope this film wins at least one Oscar.

Blade Trinity is another story folks. It doesn't half the dark feel of the first nor the fast paced action of the second. It literally takes a shit on both those films and tries to make it on its own. The fight sequences are laughable since they seem to have no cheoreography at all. The intro of Blade wasn't handled so well unlike the first two films. It was pretty much the same without adding anything exciting. Even the last battle between him and Dracula was boring. Triple H's death wasn't more than a rehash of a death in the movie The Rock. At a certain point in the film, they tried to include a bit of comedy such as the "No, I'm a lawyer" line from Blade II. Sadly, it fails to make me laugh. The action, the story, everything falls flat in this movie. It's disturbing to find out in that people get hyped up in the first two films, just to feel bored in the third movie.

I've been playing the Punisher for the past couple of days. Very entertaining game. The only thing I don't like about this game are the boss battles. It seemed like they weren't planned very well. Other than that minor flaw, I loved the mindless action and the interrogation scenes. This game at least deserves a rental.
