This Week In Entertainment (9/14/09)

My Pick of the Week will revolutionize the video game industry! I hope. It's Scribblenauts for the Nintendo DS, and it allows you to solve puzzles by typing in a word and dropping an object into the puzzle. Supposedly you can solve a puzzle using hundreds of different combos. I'm crossing my fingers over this one.


In theaters is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It's a 3d animated film and that's all you need to know other than the fact that it's done by Sony instead of Pixar or Dreamworks.

X-Men: Origins was the first big blockbuster of this year. And it was a pretty unnecessary film as well. Not bad, just really poinless. It's sad to see the franchise reach mediocrity after the wonderful second movie.


Also on DVD is Star Wars: The Clone Wars Volume One. I just watched the movie this series is based on. I don't get the poin. So we need to retcon a sidekick for Anakin during the Clone Wars? The Clone Wars has yet to be interesting. I mean, if you meant this war to mean anything, than why did you make General Grievous an easily beaten end boss? Also, I still don't get the design of the characters. Lucas is richer than most people in the entire world together. Why couldn't the animation be a tiny bit better?

Nice generic boxart, generico brand fantasy movie.


On the Wii is NHL 2k10. On the cover is...aww, hell. They were a win away from possibly going to the Stanley Cup and now their best player is probably going to be Madden Cursed.


Finally on the Nintendo DS is Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. This game takes place inside Bowser's guts. You make up a more bizarre plot!
