Wonder Showzen (2005)
A Treat for the Twisted
Almost a year ago a little snippet from an unaired Kid's Show aptly titled 'Kid's Show' was shown floating around the net contain a small portion from a deranged children's show like Seasame Street but definitely not like Seasame Street. The production quality wasn't anything special and most people who viewed it found it hilarious but very controversial. It wasn't until I was visiting family in Skopje, Macedonia when I caught the same video from the Web on Television. It was MTV Europe and the show was called Wonder Showzen. At first it seemed like a Raunchy European Parody of American Children Television from the 70s and 80s. When I got back to Canada, I did some research and was able to get access to the episodes and fell over in my chair on how the creator's of the show took 'children's television' and made it hilarious for adults. The skits will most definitely offend most but the way in which they are done are quite comical. From the Slaves Song to having Kid's innocently ask DayTrader's questions that even the most daring of adult wouldn't ask, this show pushes the envelope and does it well. It's good that this show will have a 2nd season. It is definitely a show that you either will love or hate, there is no middle ground. If you're new to the show or haven't seen an episode, head over to media sites like ebaumsworld.com, which has the original 14 minute promo. If you enjoyed it, then you need to find the other episodes.
The Getaway (2002)
Worth your attention
Let's start this off by me saying that you should not go into this game thinking it's GTA made by Sony and placed in a real city, rather look at it as a British Mob movie similar to the scenarios of Lock, Stock and Snatch. The game isn't as vast or as non-linear as GTA but it does have it's strong points. The sound is top-notch, with great voices and music for the game; graphics are top notch, with realistic looking locations of London and real-life European cars, many of which are not offered on this side of the Atlantic. Although the game is fairly linear, the story-line is rich enough to warrant a full play through. The only real downside is the controls that can be a bit of a pain at times, but it's something that is easily learned. The guys who made this game (Team SOHO) are already planning on releasing a sequel to the game, which would take place probably in New York, and seeing how well they recreated London, their next game will be even better.
Falling Down (1993)
Realism at it's finest
I watched this movie when I was only eleven years old and since watching it ten years ago, it's still one of the few movies I remember clearly watching. Like so many other gritty films made in the early 90s, this one was under-rated and unseen by many, but when you introduce this film to those who haven't seen it, you're certain they'll finish watching it and remember it for the rest of their lives. It's the perfect example of an everyday person who just has one messed up day, and yet you kind of feel sorry for the lead even though you can clearly tell he has problems...the only thing is that we all have similar problems.
The DVD version is a disappointment since it's pretty bare bones, but if Warner Brothers ever decides to re-release an updated version, I'm pretty certain it would sell well.
The Wave (1981)
Interesting Short
I just watched this in my Social Psychology class and I was impressed even though the film is a bit melo-dramatic. Great if you want to see how easy it is to influence young people, those without friends and to see how easy it was for German's to grow under the influence of Nazi Germany.
This kind of thing can happen at any time, and the movie shows just how easy it is.
Doing a study for psychology, then this is a good film to watch
Medal of Honor: Frontline (2002)
A True Experience
Being an Immigrant and knowing members of my family being involved in World War II it's something truly special when I get to re-live the events that changed the face of the war. Medal of Honor: Frontline is such an experience from the beginning when you're fighting in Normandy to the real world locations within France, Holland among others. You need to play this game not only because it's fun action but because it's also education and you'll learn stuff about WWII (which you may or may not have already known). The Medal of Honor Series is one of the best First-Person Shooting games around...you need to play it
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)
Don't Look at it as the Game.
You have to go into this movie realizing that it's not a 40-50 hour RPG but a nearly two hour film. Of course it's not gonna be as good as the game but on it own merit it is incredible. The state-of-the-art Graphics are quite impressive and should be shown to anyone who doubts the future of Animation. This is something you need to watch, even just once to see what Computers can do. Like Akira, this movie will be remembered for being a stepping-stone for 'realistic' animation.
Majestic (2001)
A weird Concept for Video-games
Have you ever wanted to play an truly interactive video-game? Well Majestic is the game for you. Receiving and making real phone calls, getting weird e-mails and communicating with real people is all part of this game that is a cross between a role-playing adventure game and a weird episode(s) of The X-Files. It might not be the best game around, but it has the potential of being remembered as one of the first, truly-interactive games.
Fainaru fantajî X (2001)
The future of games
2001 was such a great year for video-games and for Sony. Three of the best games game out for that system and showed the world what games can do. Grand Theft Auto III pushed the envelope with its graphic content and great story. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty showed us what console games are capable of doing graphically with stunning effects. Then you have Final Fantasy X, a great blend of both games. Yes, the voice acting hurts (due to the fact that the lips were modeled after Japanese and not English, unlike MGS2) but the great cast, incredible story-line and beautiful cut-scenes (CG and FMV) make this game a must own and true pleasure to play.
Chrono Cross (1999)
A reason for only a PlayStation
Although not as successful as Squaresoft's Final Fantasy series, the Chrono duo of games (Trigger and this one) show that Squaresoft isn't just a one game machine. Just look at the great graphics, the possiblity of having 45 playable character, not to mention great CG sequences and multiple endings and you'll see why this game is truly the last best game for the PlayStation...look for it now, it's really inexpensive and well worth the price.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (2001)
Gets better everytime
The third Tony Hawk game is by far the best one with awesome graphics, super-interactive environments and so-much to discover you will be hooked on this game for a long time. The PS2 version is excellent with Online Capabilities and its create-a-skater and create-a-park modes, you can have so much fun with this game. Although this game is over-shadowed by more popular games on the PS2 like Metal Gear Solid 2 and Final Fantasy X, you should really check out this incredible Action-Sports Game because you will love it.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)
Who needs Hollywood
If get the chance to play this game, I'm certain you will never need to play another game. This is the defining moment in Video Game History. You will be amazed at all the detail this game has and I'm certain you'll be playing it over and over again. Just make sure that NO-ONE tells you anything about this game beforehand or it might ruin the entire game...be prepared for non-stop action, suspense and video gaming, that would make most Hollywood Action Directors blush.
Metal Gear Solid (1998)
An experience unlike anything in this world
I began playing this game not know any of the previous story line or what to expect, but 13+ hours later I was in amazement with one man's vison and how well it was placed in a 2 Disc game. This game is unlike anything you will ever experience and there is always something to discover. I've played this game more than a dozen times and everytime I discover something new. If you own a PlayStation or a PlayStation 2 you MUST try this game, if you don't you'll be missing out on something that revolutionized gaming around the world. This game isn't considered the best PS game for nothing.
Powder Keg (2001)
Interesting Way to End it off
I began watching these The Hire Videos after my friend mentioned that Guy Richie Directed Star, and I was hooked. I've downloaded all the videos using BMW's Video Player and I've been able to watch them all the time. Powder Keg isn't my favorite one, but ends the Short Film nicely as we experience every type of emotion that the driver gets while he does his job. The ending is well-done
The only downside to this great series are the short Films between the movies. They make no sense and actually make you wonder why they even bothered to make them. If someone knows the true reason for their inclusion, please let me know
