Movie Monday: Logan

I heard a lot of good things about this movie so I couldn't just resist checking this movie out and I must admit that the movie didn't disappoint. But it wasn't just a darker Wolverine movie, it was also quite an emotional and tragic movie. It pretty much shows the other side or should I say what happens after the story is over, which isn't really that great. The movie on the other hand is pretty good, I absolutely enjoyed watching it!

Logan is old?

 One of the things you'll notice pretty quick is that Logan isn't really himself, he's old and in pain. Somehow his healing factor isn't really working that well anymore and it becomes more clear in the movie that fights aren't without consequences. Those same fights are also more brutal than ever, which is actually quite refreshing after seeing Wolverine pretty tame in the previous movies. I think this movie tries to show you that people get older and mutants as well, but when mutants get older it causes a lot more problems. Seeing Professor Xavier struggling with his illness is tough, but then when he loses control you realize how dangerous he really is! Then there's the little girl, Laura, that shows up out of nowhere and she has a lot in common with Logan.

Wolverine junior?

 It seems that way, because Laura has the same aggression and mutant abilities as Logan. You might think that this makes the movie lame but Laura is actually a fun and interesting addition to the movie. Don't think that Laura is the type of girl that is playing with dolls and runs away from danger. No she cuts off the head of someone that tries to grab her! It's also interesting how she doesn't say a thing for the first half of the movie, this kind of gives you the idea that she can't speak. The moments between Logan, Xavier and Laura are actually quite fun for some time, the roadtrip is actually showing that the movie isn't trying to be too serious. The trailers also barely showed you the villain(s) in the movie, which is also quite refreshing because that usually gets spoiled in trailers. It's only later in the movie you find out who they are and what they want.

Is it worth checking out this movie?

 Absolutely! Of all the Wolverine movies this is the one you should see, not that the other two are terrible but compared to Logan you could call them that. Just keep in mind that this isn't a real super hero movie, I mean there are no costumes or typical villain that the hero must fight. I don't think I would even call Logan a super hero, but he's trying to be a good guy and eventhough life seems to take a dump on him he somehow finds a way to move forward. I think Logan is a very good movie and I can definitely recommend it to you!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
