Oscar Snubs–Harry Potter

So I watched the Oscars the other day and while it wasn’t as boring as I really expected considering I figured I’d seen a grand total of 3 movies that were nominated (Transformers 3, Rango and Potter), I do have to say this is crap.

Has there ever been a series that went 8 movies long? OK, Bond and Land Before Time, has there ever been a film series 8 movies long that told a complete story with the same cast sticking through w/o pulling any contract renegotiation bullshit and was you know, good?

Not that I can think of. And the wonderful people at How It Should Have Ended has answered the question of what Harry Potter and the gang are feeling….

Legos + Captain America = Makes The Punisher Look Tame

OMG, Lego Cap is hardcore.

Playstation VITA

I’d been planning on getting a VITA when it comes out in a few weeks, however those plans were put on hold last month when my center’s closure was announced and I’d be laid off. So I was a sad panda…

This past Monday however I had  a shiny new import VITA sitting on my porch along with Uncharted and an 8GB memory card. I’d won a raffle from cheapassgamer after a donation to the Child’s Play fundraiser awhile ago. Yay!

Movie Quickviews

I thought I’d make a few comments on some recent movies I’ve seen. Not reviews per se…

Super 8 – Boring, catch ET instead.

The Smurfs – Not as bad as you’d think.

Horrible Bosses – Pretty good though a bit darker than I expected. You go into these movies expecting wacky hijinks and life lessons to be learned, instead we get actual murder.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Stranger Tides – Yawn. I think we’re done here.

Bad Teacher – They accidently had a funny part when she’s grading papers. Otherwise movie is dull and boring. I’m also unsure if we’re supposing to be actually rooting for Diaz’s character. It’s not that she’s a teacher with a few vices, she’s a repugnant human being with no redeeming qualities at all.

Tucker & Dale vs Evil – Catch the red ban trailer, all the good parts are there.

I caught a few older movies as well recently:

The Hunt for Red October – Still awesome.

Air Force One – Another one that holds up quite well, logic leaps aside. Glenn Close really should’ve signed the paper.

I’m Still Here

Rants, depressed musings and reviews incoming. I swear.
