Star Trek and More
Category: entertainment
So I went to see the new Star Trek Movie. I don't want to give anything away so I can't say to much. The one thing that did bother me a little bit was that I know one of the Main Characters as someone else from a TV show, it was hard to see him as Spock when you know him as this other guy who is nothing like him. Besides for that I found the movie was very good. I also want to mention the previews for The Transformers, GI Joe and the new Terminator movies all make them look amazing. I don't think they can be as good as the shows. It is a different media and so it can't be as good as animation can be.

So then On Monday I went to Monday Night Raw. But before I ate I checked out this place called Benchwarmers. It is near the arena. Here are some pictures from that and the AUD you might notice that the Canisius College Lacrosse sign is gone.

I also heard an ad for someplace else I want to try in that same building. Hope everyone has a good weekend, unless you are a Titans fan then I hope you have a bad weekend. I'm hoping to go see Star Trek either downtown or on Elmwood at sometime on Saturday.

Busy Week
Category: entertainment
So the week has been busy. It started out with dinning out for life. Yes there is a long wait everywhere and so you have to factor that in. I think it is a good cause. It gets people to go out and eat. Hey if the food is good they will come back. Then money goes to a good cause as well. We went to Boomerangs on Niagara St. The food was very good and I tried this chicken wing soup that was very tasty. I even got home in time to watch Fringe.

So On Thursday Night I went to go see "L Save the World". I will admit it wasn't the same as the 2 other movies. First of all with an event like that I now found it is better to go as a group. But I still had a good time and had food at applebee's before the movie. The movie was different there was no Kira and Yes it was a Death Note movie so there was one and a Shirigamie but that wasn't what the movie was about. It was L trying to stop a Biological attack. It was good just not what I thought it was. I get that people like to talk to the movie but the stuff that was being yelled just didn't seem to make sense. The movie started late do to some issue and because of that I got a pass for a free show, well everyone did. I used it to go see the new Wolverine movie it was very good. Lots of action and story and all that good stuff.

Last night was Jerry Seinfeld. I thought he was pretty funny and so was his opening act. I was a bit back but it didn't take away from anything. He talked back to hecklers that was funny. He answered some questions at the end. Before the show I checked out this place called Caberet and since I didn't have a reservation sat at the bar and ate. I thought the Roast Beef and drinks I had where pretty good. Plus the person who waited on me seemed to be running the place taking orders making multiple drinks at a time. She was blond and hot and really good at her Job. Plus the place wasn't to costly either.

Other then Lets Go Bandits I feel like I'm forgetting something.....

little cheesey to do this but here is a little update:Last Night I went to the Bandits game and we won a tough Game vs. Boston. I wish I could go to NYC and go watch them play the titans the winner is the East Champs. So that added to the busy week. Then On monday I go back to work and go to Monday Night Raw. That should be a fun time. So Hopefully I will start the picture process of up loading and downloading and posting then.

Stardust and Shooter
Category: movies
Well on Sunday I did get to see two movies that I wanted to. Often I don't know where the time goes. The third movie I wanted to see I couldn't stay awake for, "Super High Me" . Some comedian made a documentary where he doesn't smoke weed for 30 days and then he smokes weed for 30 days in a row. I thought it might have been interesting oh well, maybe that station will show it again.

I don't know how to even talk about stardust. It is an adventure movie with kings trying to kill each other over the thrown and then there is a love story, there is a unicorn and witches and stars and stardust. I thought it was pretty good and really enjoyed it.

Next I watched Shooter. Mark Walhberg plays a sniper in the army. The army leaves him for dead and then years later he is needed to stop an attempt to Kill the president. He winds up being set up and then there is a mystery and lots and lots of action. Hey I'm not a fan of his acting style but it was a pretty good movie is that is your kind of thing. I watched both movies through the Showtime on demand service.

I thought Stardust was great. They did a really nice job adapting one of my favorite books! I was surprised how well it turned out.
metalpeter - 04/28/09 17:34
Yes I should Have mentioned the Robert De Niro part, that was a great part of that movie, well all his scenes where the way he was one guy to the crew and he was this other guy really, what a great movie.

I have Stardust- loved it. Much better than my initial expectations. Robert De Niro played a fun character :)

Haven't seen the other one, Shooter.

You forgot "Robert De Niro playing an extremely effeminate pirate captain."

Go, Gaiman! Go!

The Wrestler Heckler
Category: movies
So for anyone who might be reading this a posted some stuff about news Stories today also, some of you might find the links pretty interesting. Last night I watched two movies. The Wrestler I kinda knew what it was about but didn't know all the details. With out giving anything away the ending is assumed. I have seen other movies that have shown Wrestlers who kinda live like this, but see they are documentaries so it is a little bit different . It isn't a happy story. It isn't about the fame and the glam. It is about a hard working guy with a tough life outside of the ring. I thought it was pretty good. Plus it had some good 80's style Rock but yet it is set in today. They did use real wrestlers I only new a few of them. People who follow the Independent scene I'm guessing would know a lot of them. I thought the movie was pretty good. The feature they had in was good also and showed a good amount about making the movie.

On indemand I watch a Movie called Heckler. It was a documentary made by Jamie Kennedy . It wasn't only him and it wasn't only about hecklers it was also about critics. I found it interesting and they did have some good footage. The one thing that I think it lacked is the fact that not everyone finds the same thing funny. You could take that a step further and say there are people out there that really do suck. There are some people that I think Heckle because the persons material isn't as good as some of their stuff in the past. But that was never mentioned. I think that not all bloggers are nasty just the nasty ones get noticed, of course the good ones wouldn't make it into the movie. That being said I still found it an interesting movie. Hopefully I'll get to watch a couple movies today as well.
