The last movie did a very good job bringing this Marvel comic book icon to the big screen. I think now that they have figured out a formula and did a good job at setting up the character in the previous film, the new one will be sure to bring on the action. This is also a nice introduction to War Machine. Under the metal, he is known as James Rhodes, who is Tony Stark’s close friend. In the comic, he takes over the hero role while Tony Stark falls to alcoholism. How will they introduce him in the movie? I guess time will only tell, but I have faith because the last movie was so well done and Robert Downey Jr. was perfect for the role of Tony Stark. Terrance Howard was cast as James Rhodes in the first film, but because of a contract dispute Don Cheadle was selected for the role in the sequel.

Super producers,Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, will be releasing a new N.E.R.D (No one Ever Really Dies) album in early 2010 called Instant Gratification. The same duo is also known as The Neptunes. They have produced many artist both mainstream and underground in the Pop, R&B, and Hip Hop genre. They are well known for their distinctive electro-funk style. I, personally, have grown to appreciate their side project, N.E.R.D, for the past several years plus it displays another side of their talent. I’m looking forward to the next album and hope its as good or better than the previous albums.

This is a big fight night here in Las Vegas as fans prepare to watch Manny Pacquiao go up against Miguel Cotto. I had a chance to witness how much support each of these fighters have at the weigh-ins yesterday. It was a day full of high spirit from both fans of Pacquiao and Cotto. I overheard that there were fans waiting in line for the weigh-ins since 5:00 am…yes thats right, a.m!! When I got there to work at around noon, the line was already ridiculous. After everyone was let in, there was an entire new crowd of people trying to get into the weigh-ins but unfortunately they had to be turned away because the free event had reached full capacity. People came up with all kinds of excuses to try and get in or get their friend or family member into the venue. I couldn’t help but to think to myself, “if the weigh-in is this chaotic, I can’t imagine how fight night is going to be.” I’m rooting for Pacquiao, but I believe this will be a huge challenge for Pacquiao. Pacquiao has speed and Cotto is a solid pound for pound fighter. Who will win this battle? We will soon find out!

Ok this will be my last post for a while about Modern Warfare 2, but this game is like a new drug that just hit the market. I can’t stop playing it. They’ve added so much to this game that it seems like I’ll never unlock everything and it keeps you wanting more. There’s already quite a few maps and I keep hearing that they will be releasing more maps within the next couple of months. Yesterday, I get home thinking I’m about to play some multiplayer action, and I find out that the servers crashed. Luckily, it happened earlier in the day and I didn’t have to wait too long after work until they were back up. Now they just need to fix the friend invite feature. I’m hoping that will be very soon cause its kinda annoying right now.

This is the movie trailer for Clash of the Titans, a remake of the classic 1981 film based on Greek mythology.
Although this doesn’t remind me of anything from the original, this still looks to be really good.

Well, the day is finally here. The release date for the next installment to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. I still can’t believe I actually went to the midnight pick-up at Gamestop, but oh well it was worth it. The line was huge. The line wrapped around the building and people were steady pulling up well after midnight. Luckily the wait wasn’t as long as I had anticipated. I was at the counter picking up my game at 12:45am and back home around 1am. They even had a guy dressed in army gear at the door letting people in. It’s amazing at how much more popular this game has become. It literally felt like I was waiting to pick up a new game console on launch date. I remember standing in line at EB Games with my roommate on the Dreamcast launch date. Anyways, I’m still learning some of the new features, but everything else plays like the previous one. The graphics are nice and crisp, the maps are much more detailed, more killstreaks, theres a ton of new weapons and attachments and different perks along with some old ones. One improvement I do like is the Host Migration for Multiplayer mode. Rather than ending the game due to a bad connection to the host, it’ll pause the game and look for a better host connection and then continue the game where you left off. It’ll only end the game if there is absolutely no connection. If you already haven’t picked up this game, I’d say its worth the price.
This is part of the line last night, but the line wrapped around the building while people where continuing to pull up in the parking lot.
