Well, my Movie Contest is over. For those of you who don't know, I was holding a contest on here and two other sites for suggestions of what movie would be the subject of my 200th movie review (again, I review movies on rottentomatoes.com). Last week I revealed the entries. Today, the winners!
3rd Place (my 198th review) is "The World's Fastest Indian" starring Anthony Hopkins.
2nd Place (my 199th review) is "Peaceful Warrior" starring Scott Mechlowicz, Nick Nolte, and Amy Smart.
And finally, my 1st Place winner and my 200th review is "Taxi Driver" starring Robert DeNiro and Jodie Foster.
"Indian" and "Warrior" are reviewed, and I'll be watching Taxi Driver tonight to celebrate this next bit of news.
Chapter 27 of "Aliens vs Marvel Universe" is FINALLY DONE!! About 5,500 words/ twelve pages long. I wanted to cut it in half as two chapter, but I wanted to keep the atmosphere. I hope I haven't lost any readers on here or fanfiction.net. I was originally going to take a break after Chapter 25, but 26 just came to me and thusly to you, but I decided to take a break for Thanksgiving. Hope everyone enjoyed. We're almost to the end of the story, and I can't wait to finish.
And now that that's over, I can move on to other things. I recently (FINALLY) colored up my sketch of Zero from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" into a real X-mas card. I know it's a bit early for the holidays, but I finished it and I just couldn't wait to post it. Speaking of the holidays, I've pretty much finished my 'wish list'. Just "The Nightmare Before Christmas" & "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"(why does everyone hate it?) on DVD, and just Lego Batman. I know so many people who would ask for so much more, but I like to live modestly. In comparison at least.
As for other examples of 'art' I have a few sketches left that I'd like to color up. And I've finished a new pair of Marvel Keyblades. I wanted to do a Black-Suit Spider-Man blade to go along with my original Spider-Man one, and that led to a Venom keyblade (which I am fascinated with now).
After beating Lego Indiana Jones for the third time over, I've decided to trade it in. I'm the kind of guy who needs to accomplish everything the first time through, and breaking all those lego blocks every time I go through a level just gets so tedious. Hopefully Lego Batman will offer a better experience.
But now I've turned my attention to my "The Incredible Hulk" game that I got quite a while ago. I'm honestly not impressed with it at all. Bad combat system, overly-complex upgrade system, a terribly short story with a rollercoaster of a difficulty curve, and overall just not a really fun experience. But the graphics are good, and the ability to destroy every single building in the game is pretty cool, and the bonus materials are okay, but still leave something to be desired. I'll play it a few more times, but it's going back to the store. I never should have traded in "Ultimate Destruction."
As for "Punisher/Blade: Blood Work" that little plot snag has become quite permanent. So I'll just have to find some way around it (see last entry). So I'm leaving the story be for a bit while the old brain gets to working again. I'm turning my attentions over to my book I intend to write entitle "Dead Hearts." It's basically my take on vampires the way they should be. What with all this nonsense going around, I thought it high time he have a return to form.
Well, I guess that's it. See you next weekend!
