but the weather wasn’t going to let that happen.\u00c2\u00a0 I did watch a few movies \/ play some games though… and I haven’t done that in awhile.\u00c2\u00a0 Unfortunately, nothing really stood out.<\/p>\nGone Baby Gone<\/em> – I’ll give Ben some credit for his first time directing he did pretty good.\u00c2\u00a0 Casey wasn’t too shabby in the lead here either.\u00c2\u00a0 It was a good story – when you thought you knew what was going on, it changed.\u00c2\u00a0 One of those movies that seems to have 3 or 4 endings.\u00c2\u00a0 Not bad, but not great.\u00c2\u00a0 Actually haven’t seen a good movie in a long time.\u00c2\u00a0 I had high hopes for No Country for Old Men<\/em> but was sorely disappointed.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ve been catching up on all the Harry Potter movies since they all just came out on Blu Ray.\u00c2\u00a0 I knew I’d never really get into the books, so I thought I’d at least watch the movies and see what all the hullabaloo was about.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re ok I guess… entertaining at least, but I never would have actually read through all the books.\u00c2\u00a0 In the past couple of months, the only movies in my rental history that have made it past 3.5 stars (out of 5) have been Run Lola, Run<\/em> and The Kingdom<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 They both squeaked out a 4 for either being different or for lots of explosions.<\/p>\n In more disappointing news, Assassins Creed<\/em> wasn’t nearly as cool as I was hoping.\u00c2\u00a0 The game play was innovative, the story seemed to be decent, and the controls were tight.\u00c2\u00a0 The whole thing just got repetitive really fast though.\u00c2\u00a0 And slow.\u00c2\u00a0 Entirely too much talking in the game, and you can’t skip it.\u00c2\u00a0 And what’s with the walking around in the future so much.\u00c2\u00a0 I have to walk (you can’t even run) to my ‘bedroom’ to make the storyline continue?!\u00c2\u00a0 Meh.\u00c2\u00a0 The missions are decent, there’s just not enough variety – save a citizen, pickpocket (which is impossible), climb up all the lookouts, and sit on a bench and eavesdrop.\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone once in awhile run and hide from the guards.\u00c2\u00a0 I just thought it was supposed to be this epic game… but I was bored with it inside 3 hours.<\/p>\n Oh well… that’s it for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The title really has nothing to do with the contents… just something to consider:\u00c2\u00a0 alternative fuels usually have alternative consequences.
