Hrm, been a week, my bad on keeping this thing more up to date. I've got a few things to talk about. Let's start with the anime movie I just recently watched called Ghost In The Shell. Now I've been told that this is a renown film that was the first to make it on America's big screen. So I thought, hey, if it's that good, maybe it's worth watching. So I downloaded it (piracy forever!) and watched it last week. It's some pretty intense stuff. Action is pretty good, and it's got a pretty good plot line to go along with it. It goes into some deep and profound questions that could be related to humans today. Err I guess I should give some sort of summary. So it takes place in the future (sorry I forget the date) in Japan and revolves around this government group known as Public Peace Section 9. They're pretty much "special cops", in a way like SWAT, except way more attitude. OK, that sounds strange, but you will see it in the movie, b/c you will see the movie... >) They go and track down a hacker who is screwing around with people's minds, killing them, and causing a disturbance in society in general. The main character is a girl cyborg who's as badass as hell and can take out a tank with a P90 with special HV (high velocity) bullets. So now that I've gotten through that, I'll just leave it at recommending this movie for anyone who enjoy's anime and those who like deep questions amist intense action scenes. Think that's a tuff combination? This movie pulls it off very well. I'd rate this movie a 9 / 10 simply b/c it lacked humor. The soundtrack to this movie is also pretty good, could've used some better rock or techno for the action scenes IMO though. Almost naked and naked chicks running around with guns ablazing. Why not watch this movie? I would tell even those who don't usually watch anime to watch this movie. People who frequent this site would also know that I don't give out high ratings for movies very often either... I'll leave it at that.
Lets see what's next... So I went to a poker night on Thursday night at one of my friend's house. First time I've gambled with my own money, and let's just say I'm not a very happy camper about gambling with money. If you were to take a look at my tokens, I didn't lose very much. However, we played a different way where all the money was thrown into a pot that was divided among the top two players (people with most tokens). Since I didn't make much, I didn't win... but this was a "good learning experience". Trevor came out top and had a pretty good night, on getting good cards-wise. He had 3 full houses in the hour we played!!! >_< *cough* rigged *cough* 2nd went to Jackie, who made an amazing turnaround in the last hand, making all he lost and enough to take 2nd. While they left with money, the rest of us left with yet another reason to kick jackie's ass. j/k But just to have a little more point to what I write, I'll just say "Don't Gamble kids... You're better off giving your money to me."
Now to the finale of this entry... I went to Wild Waves today!!! XD!!!! Althought I know that it isn't really that great of an amusement park, it really felt good after working two 8 hour shifts on the weekend U_U;;; They have a new roller coaster called the TimberHawk that's made of wood. It was alrite, but wood roller coasters are obsolete. The can go up and down, but not round and round. The Wild Thing is still the best ride there... unfortunately. I only say that b/c I've been to Cali's Magic Mountain Six Flags Theme Park!!! XD!!! Sorry, but you haven't ridden on a coaster lest you've been to a Six Flags. The water slides were alrite, I didn't get to go on the intertube one though b/c time was running low and my parents wanted to get back earlier since my sister and cousin (Fred) had school tomorrow. Ha ha ha ha....... WA HA HA HA HA!!! O, luckily we didn't have to pay the regular price b/c my parents borrowed special cards from their friends to get massive discounts there so we only had to pay $10 a person! Which is all that it's worth... erp, but I wouldn't mind going again with my friends. < D Speaking of which... I think I may be able to procure tickets again later for September... hehehe.
Now for another random review of a chinese movie I just watched. Unfortunately, it's an older action movie, entitled Fulltime Killer staring Andy Lau and this other Japanese guy. (Cherrie Ying and Kelly Lin too =D!) Andy Lau stars as Tok, a new hot shot, flamboyant assassin who's out to make his name big. He aims at taking out the current #1 assassin (the japanese dude) who is codenamed O. They go about trying to exploit each other, eventually turning into somewhat of allies, and then enemies again. The movie is filled with action and an interesting plotline that seems to run and stumble a few times if you catch my drift. Andy Lau gives a good performance as usual, although for my taste, he overacts a tad. The girls are attractive, but play minor roles in the movie, which the guys roll off of. Oh ho ho ho.... j/k This is one of those movies that just didn't fit my taste really. I can tell that some people may like it, but for me it didn't really settle for me. For me... I'd rate this a 7 / 10, maybe b/c I was too tired to give it my full and impartial attention but it did have some good stuff. I would recommend this movie to anyone who's an Andy Lau fan or... yea, that's it. Not the best action movie. If you're looking for something to spend the rest of your summer time if you've got it, It's not a bad movie to check out. Just don't expect a classic. Now that's a log blog. Time to break out and get some Zzzz....
