This Week In Entertainment (1/21/08)

Today's Pick of the Week is Adventures of Lolo 2, for the Virtual Console. I love a good puzzle game when they have a goal to solve. This game is worth 500 Wii poins.


On DVD we have the fourth Saw movie. Get ready for more sadistic traps and non-linear story telling.

The only thing about The Game Plan that interests me is the fact that Disney released it. It's a movie about a star player who now has to take care of his out of wedlock child. Someday Zombie Walt will attack the people who took over his empire.

McCauley Culkin was huge when I was a kid, now he's starring in unknown movise about orgies. Wow. Also, I enjoyed this part of the amazon synopsis: "they soon find that true love and lasting relationships (at their core) are ultimately about more than sex and breakfast." GET OUT!!! NO WAY! That's deep, man.

On the Wii is No More Heroes. From what I've heard, this game was so violent that they had to replace the blood with coins, or something. There may not be too many M rated games on the Wii, so keep an eye on this.

Also out on the Wii is Endless Ocean. For some reason, I thought this was an rpg, but it's really a scuba diving game. Scuba diving isn't that exciting, but maybe the programmers know what they're doing.

On the DS is Sonic vs Mario in the Olympics, just in case it's any better than the Wii version. I haven't played either yet.


Edit: DUH! I forgot to see the movies coming out in theaters this week. And we got a number worth commenting on.


First up is Meet The Spartans, another nail in the coffin of spoof movies. Who makes the damn movies? I like the Leslie Neilson movies of the nineties. Does someone have a grudge against Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker?

Stallone returns in Rambo (4). Hopefully this movie includes an apology for helping the Taliban get into power at the end of the third movie.

“He hacked into my car’s computer.” Untraceable is about a master hacker who has a website which tortures people based on how many hits it gets. How can this movie not be a winner with the above quotes?

Lastly, what should have been the Pick of the Day. It's U2 3D, a 3d concert starring U2. I actually own four U2 albums, which is four more than most bands can boast.
