Scott Pilgrim vs. The World


I ended my Sunday night by watching Scott pilgrim vs. the world, and i have to say it was a good movie.. it was different and i will admit i didn't want to see it at all i went with my boyfriend, and i didn't hate it at all like i said it was different but it was entertaining.. funny and creative. Here's a movie review. go see for yourself.


After spending what seems like hours trying to come up with a clever way to sell “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,” there’s really only one way to do it — GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

It’s rare in today’s cinema that a movie exceeds expectations, but as I left theatre Friday night I could help but be a giddy over director Edgar Wright’s (Shaun of the Dead) latest creation.

“Scott Pilgrim” is the story of a slacker in his 20s watching life pass him by. Scott is played masterfully by Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Superbad). Scott is dating a high schooler, plays in a floundering rock band and lives with a super-cool gay roommate played by Kieran Culkin (Igby Goes Down).

Scott soon meets the girls of his dreams, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Live Free or Die Hard). Dating Ramona, however, comes with a price. In order to win — and keep — her affection, Scott must defeat her seven evil ex’s.

I first saw the trailer late last spring, and was hooked by the video game references and comic book-inspired visuals. As the trailers, exclusive clips and featurettes rolled in, my excitement for the movie only grew. But as any movie goer knows, heightened expectations almost always end in disappointment (see, The Hangover).

I’m ecstatic to say that “Scott Pilgrim” was a once-a-year movie that sticks with you days after seeing it. Loaded with subtle humor and nearly flawless comedic timing, I still smile while recalling certain scenes. Wright brings such a unique and original take to a familiar formula that I felt like I was watching something I had never seen before.

This movie is a film that deserves the public’s attention. No, it’s not “Inception” or “Toy Story 3″ but it’s a summer action flick with substance. A movie that makes you feel good inside, and reminds you why we go to the movies in the first place.

So do yourself a favor — GO SEE THIS MOVIE!

One month from release, Halo: Reach goes gold


Halo: Reach is a little more than a month away from its September 14 release and Bungie has announced that the Xbox 360 game has gone "gold" which means it is complete and they can begin printing disks.

Halo: Reach is shaping up to be one of the biggest game releases of the year as the game follows the actions of Noble Team on a distant planet named Reach that is being invaded by the Covenant just before the events in the original Halo game. Players jump in as the newest recruit to the team dubbed, Noble 6.

This is Bungie's final round of creating a game in the Halo universe as they and Microsoft have parted ways. They are going all out though as Reach not only includes a new engine that allows for a much larger single-player campaign and 4-player co-op but they've also greatly enhanced the multiplayer experience with an expanded and customizeable Firefight, new multiplayer options and mode, as well as Forge World. Forge World may be the greatest addition to the game as it provides a massive sandbox for creative gamers to create their own levels, maps and game types and share it with friends.

UK Video Game Chart: StarCraft II takes No.1


GfK ChartTrack reports that Blizzard's StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty has entered the All Formats All Prices UK video game chart at No.1, becoming the first PC exclusive to hit the No.1 spot this year.

The highly anticipated sequel sold more in its first week than the original game has in its lifetime (boxed product only).

There are no other new entries this week so it's all pretty much as we were, just shifted down a place.

The summer draught looks set to continue next week too, with only movie tie-in, The Last Airbender, likely to have any chance of a Top 20 place.
