BioShock was getting a 99% at Gamerankings until Gamespot (and maybe more reviewers) rated it a 90%, bringing it to 97.2% or something. BioShock isn't for everybody, but it sure is a must-play game, rental or buy.

Those who think that BioShock is overhyped, it is your loss, really. I've been pumped to get this game for a month since I set up a preorder for a LE/CE of my own.

BioShock or die. I'm getting the LE on wednesday. GOTY candidate for sure. The artbook is some sick stuff. (Digital format) http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/artbook.html 99% out of 100 so far at Gamerankings.com. If it keeps this up, it will be the higest rated game ever at that site...

Nice. Kidd's going to get some sick assists with all that talent around him.

I've been digging Gabrielle Anwar on the "Burn Notice" show on USA.

Fifty Pills 0/10 I rented this thinking it would be funny. It is funny, but only in the snese that it is laughably bad. NOT RECOMMENDED. Johnny Was 8/10 Directed by Mark Hammond, starring Vinnie Jones, Samantha Mumba, Lennox Lewis, Patrick Bergin, Roger Daltrey, and Eriq La Salle. I...

Fulltime Killer 9/10 Directed by Johnnie To, Ka-Fa Wai, starring Andy Lau, Takashi Sorimachi, and Kelly Lin. This is the kind of movie that makes me giddy and overjoyed that I am an foregin film fan. This movie is a gem of a action movie of chess moves between two contract killers...

The Last King Of Scotland 8/10 Forest Whitaker's Oscar-winning performance= 10/10 Directed by Kevin MacDonald, Starring Forest Whitaker, James McAvoy, Kerry Washington, and Gillian Anderson. This movie is excellent and if not for Forest Whitaker, I would have rated it lower than a 8/10. It...

ROFLMAO!!!! I played with a big oaf of a guy, and embarassed him. He was my own teammate, no less. He had set a pick for me, I veered to the right, and noticed both defenders following me, so I whip the ball over to the big oaf who is open, and hit him clean in the face, the ball bounces...

<div class="quote_poster">Brian Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Is this like the Oscars?</div> Bigger. (IMO) Cannes is the international one. I often regard Cannes winners higher than Oscar winners. Pulp Fiction won best film(am I right??)at Cannes and didn't get much notice at the Oscars.

Nevada Smith 7/10 Starring Steve McQueen. I believe this is one of McQueen's earlier films, and it is a western. McQueen plays a young boy whose parents are brutally murdered, and sets out for revenge. Along his path to revenge, he is taught and learns the way of the quick and ruthless wild...

The Jack Bull 8/10 Starring John Cusack, John C. McGinley, and John Goodman. A western about a man done wrong, and refusing to let it go until justice is served. Cusack plays Myrl Redding, a horse rancher who has 2 of his horses badly treated by a greedy landowner, and the movie is about...

Find Me Guilty 8/10 Directed by Sidney Lumet, starring Vin Diesel. This movie is one of my favorites to watch. It is based on actual court testimony from a HUGE trial where the US government prosecutes an entire criime family in Jersey. There are hilarous moments, and very candid moments...
