I got a little bored so I thought I would write a little more nonsense down, while I catch up on a few episodes of Fringe. Not much has happened with me recently work and well gym finally. I am getting back into it now. I actually like the gym and well I wanna get in a better shape before I go on holiday in July. Tone up a little. The gym isn’t too appealing when the weather outside is fucking stupidly hot. I mean nearly 30 degrees some days. Come on this is the UK.....wait why am I complaining. The weather has also put a halt on me going to watch Men in Black 3, who wants to go to the cinema when its boiling outside.

What Have I Been Watching?

Film wise nothing new. I did re watch my Fast 5 blu ray again. Man I like that film. For those of you who don’t know (not sure why you wouldn’t). Fast 5 is basically a heist movie centered around driving. As the title suggest there has been 4 films previous in the Fast and The Furious franchise to varying degrees of success (2 and 3 just suck ass). This film brings back all of the stars from the previous films for one big job.

In fast 5 the team who are already on the run from the police are attempting to rob a crime lord of all of his ill gotten drug money. On the run from the police and now being chased by the criminals will the team pull of the job in Rio and walk away will $11 million each? The plot is a little basic but the action along the way more than carries the film. Great car chases, shootouts and a great piece of misdirection that momentarily gets you thinking.

As for the cast it is just awesome, especially The Rock who plays the hard arsed cop who only cares about getting the job done. The Rocks fight with Vin Diesel's character is one of the best scenes in the film

Although the film is extremely simple, I think it is a great piece of popcorn cinema. Just zone out for a couple of hours and have fun. If you like action films definitely give it a try.

As for anything else I am watching I am a little ashamed to say I have gotten hooked on Jersey Shore, what got me into watching this TV show? The only answer is netflix. I put the show on to occupy my girlfriend for an hour and I suddenly got hooked. It just interests me on a psychological level. Watching the people. Wondering, What the fuck???? I have now watched all 5 seasons back to back in less than a week and I cannot wait for season 6. Sad I know but whatcha gonna do.

What Have I Been Playing?

I have played very few games recently. Most of my time has gone into Diablo 3. WOW!!! this game is great. Extremely simple but very deep at the same time. I have played up to act 3 so far and it is just starting to ramp up in difficulty. The errors and lag from before seems to be non existent, thank god. Blizzard sorted it out pretty quickly. I have also been playing Super Monday Night Combat. I actually put a little money into this game yesterday. I bought the Matador Veteran. I actually love this character. I have got his abilities down to a tee. Saying that I have only won a handful of matches. Either because of arseholes quitting or people just acting like this is any other shooter. I’m not saying I am good at the game but atleast I try to play it properly. I also just bought Ghost Recon: Future Soldier today. I have to say I am fucking loving this game so far. The multiplayer is nothing to shout about (from the 2 matches I have played). The single player is amazing me. I have only played the first two missions but I love the mix between action and stealth they have. It kinda gives the game a puzzle aspect. You actually have to contemplate how you are going to carry out your actions in the scenario in front of you. Who should you shoot (if anyone), in what order. Do you carry out a team kill (line up 4 people and order them all to be shot simultaneously). I love the fact that this game is not just run and gun.

Now What?

This week I really wanna get to see Men in Black 3, hopefully I will get a chance to check it out soon. I am also thinking about buying Max Payne 3 on the PC when it finally gets released. Maybe I will finally get around to playing some 3ds now the weather is pretty great, I can sit outside and play through a little Resident Evil or some Super Mario Bros.
