The Sims 3

The Sims 3

I have been a fan of the Sims games since it was first released in 2002 and spent much of my hard earned money on a good number of the expansion packs. When Sims 2 was released I wasn’t able to get it right away because my computer graphics card was still in the Stone Age, but eventually I upgraded just for this one game. I’m a not afraid to say that I am a Sims addict.

When I bought my Macbook last year I was saddened a bit that I would be unable to play my copy of Sims 2 and I really didn’t want to re-buy it all again for the Mac platform. I was going to wait patiently for the Sims 3 to be released so I could enjoy playing God once more. I would love to say that I bought it on Tuesday when it was released because that would make me really sound totally fanatical, but I actually didn’t realize it had been released until I saw a Twitter post about it on Wednesday. I did get it on Thursday though. (At the same time I also put in my pre-order for Batman: Arkham Asylum – surprise surprise)

Fanboys Poster

Fanboys Poster

Yesterday was the DVD release of the much anticipated Fanboys – at least much anticipated by this fangirl – so it’s only natural for me to tell you all about it.

I heard about this movie almost two years ago and unfortunately due to circumstances with production had to wait a very long time to finally see it. I’m just glad I managed to see this film during its brief run in theatres last month, especially since I only happened to know about its release by pure luck. The greatest pitfall was the lack of advertisement – even the movie posters never specified a release date. Sad really.

After more than a year of waiting patiently it’s all paid off in the end – this movie is the shit!

The audience follows the adventure of a group of 4 hardcore fanboys (Eric, Lucas, Hutch & Windows), and 1 fangirl (Zoe), as they trek across country in attempt to break into Lucas Ranch to (more…)

The Watchmen

The Watchmen

With the movie coming out in six months the buzz around Watchmen is getting loud – especially since the trailer is being run before The Dark Knight. In July and August combined the comic sold over 62,000 copies from comic specialty stores – this doesn’t include regular book stores like Chapters – and will most likely continue to fly off the shelf until March 2009.

Just like the other 62,000 people (and counting) I jumped on this bandwagon and picked myself up a copy of the book. Now, most true comic book fans will shun me for not having read “one of the greatest graphic novels ever written” until now, but I had my reasons. (more…)

Tropic Thunder

Tropic Thunder

After work today I decided to blow off my usual Monday afternoon responsibilities and head to the mall. After grabbing some cookies from Mrs. Fields I was walking back toward the Skytrain when the urge to watch a movie washed over me. Up I went to the theatre and it just happened that Tropic Thunder started in ten minutes.

Ticket in hand I moseyed into the theatre and sat in my favourite spot and proceeded to watch 10 minutes of cheesy commercials followed by 10 more minutes of not so cheesy, but still pretty bad commercials and then another 10 minutes of previews. (I actually love watching previews, sometimes I think its the best part of the whole movie.) Finally the movie begins, only to start with a hilarious parody of a commercial (Booty Sweat (more…)
