Commodore 64 games on the Wii?

with 3 comments

Yes. It is true.

The only game I remember is Commando. My Dad installed it and I started to play. I forget how old I was. Really old school.

Movie Review: Miracle at St. Anna

without comments

 miracle-at-st-anna

I just watched this movie last night. It was a really well written story. Stop reading if you don’t want me to spoil it. The majority of the movie takes place during World War II in a small town in Italy where the a all-Black regiment of US military were pushing forward toward the enemy lines. Only a few were able to cross during the battle. The four of them were the main characters. They came upon a young Italian boy who was a survivor of pillaged village by the German forces.

One of the Black soldiers carries around a head of a statue that he thinks gives him good luck. Long story short. Entire village including three of the four soldiers die except for one of them and the young boy. After decades later they meet again.

It was a very religious movie in that in one scene they showed the Americans, the Italians and the Germans all saying the same prayer to God. I thought that was pretty ironic and interesting how they were all still fighting each other.

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe – Love this game!

with 3 comments

What a game!  I loved Mortal Kombat back in the day and now they have taken it to the next level.  I never thought Liu Kang could beat the crap out of Superman right in front of my eyes.

I’m kind of surprised Spiderman didn’t make the roster.

Slumdog Millionaire – Excellent Movie

without comments

So I just finished watching the movie, Slumdog Millionaire. I’m not going to spoil it for those who haven’t seen it, but I highly recommend it. It’s an excellent movie about a young poor orphan in India who grows up and suffers a lot and through his suffering helps him succeed when gets older.

Stop reading if you haven’t seen it.

One thing I didn’t like was the fact that Jamal’s brother said “God is great” before he died. It’s also depressing to see how the orphans lived and how they were abused and used.

Respect to Bill Gates

with one comment

“Malaria is spread by mosquitoes,” Gates said while opening a jar onstage at the Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference — a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.

“I brought some. Here I’ll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected.”

First reported on social networking site Twitter, Facebook’s Senior Platform Manager Dave Morin blogged, “Bill Gates just released mosquitos into the audience at TED.”

Gates then waited a minute or so before assuring the audience the freed insects were malaria-free.

Kobe Bryant owns the Knicks scoring 61 points

without comments

I’ve been a Knicks fan since I started to watch basketball. They are doing alright compared to previous seasons.  I have to give credit to Kobe Bryant.  A lot of people dislike him, but I’m a fan.  He’s definitely one of the best NBA players this league has seen.

Congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers

without comments

What a game.  The last quarter was the highlight.  I love games that come down to the last few minutes.  Harrison had a crazy 100 yard interception run.  Did you see him laying on the ground 5 minutes after?  He was so out of breath.

Anyways, NFL season is over.  On to the NBA.
