I Am Legend


I Am Legend is a pretty good movie. Although the zombies appear really stupid looking if you see them too long (The very first one he sees is wearing golf pants) they manage to startle you when they jump out of a dark doorway making guinea pig sounds. The plot is very good all except for the ending *spoiler alert* where he sacrifices his life to safe some people that most of the movie goers won't care about, other than that it's all good (but the dog dies.)
Some of the coolest special effects don't even occur when Will Smith is fighting freaks who want to eat his flesh, the very best effects are the way New York City was aged. The weeds poking through the cement, the cars stopped in their places, and the buildings covered in quarantine plastic.
When Will Smith isn't fighting it definitely isn't boring due to lack of dialogue, even though 80% of the movie only has Robert Neville and has dog, the directors have filled the plot with flashbacks and interesting things for Will to say to his dog, such as,"Eat your vegetables, I'm not kidding now."
Most of the zombie stuff is only mildly scary and the blood is kept to a minimum. The part with probably the most violence in the whole movie is when he sets a trap for them and starts mowing 'em over in his SUV.
In conclusion if you're looking for a good movie to go see, this would be a good one to see, unless you have really small children.

Yesterday's Lunch


Yesterday I ate this really weird fruit called the Oroblanco
The fruit tasted alot like Grapefruit, but was a little sweeter. Also the peel was about one inch thick. The skin tasted gross but if you just ate the insides it was actually pretty good.

Short Horror Film

Today I was sitting at our computer desk in my home wondering what I should do. I wanted to make some stop motion with our new webcam. So I did. Here are the results of that boredom, I call it Pirate Horror

Stop-Motion

O.K. so this stop-motion is several months old, but I haven't had the chance to upload because the software I had was only a trial version, now that I have the full version (YAY FOR CHRISTMAS) I will probably be uploading more and more videos of stop-motion.

Alright this video is starring my little brother. I managed to get him to let me take about a hundred pictures of him standing really still. Other than him starring in it I shot it and made it work on the computer. I finished making it and posted it on 12-25-07.



So this video was completed on Christmas and I did all of the photography and the editing.

SimCity Societies

SIMCITY SOCIETIES

As many people have already said SimCity Societies isn't at all like any of the other SimCity games. In some ways good in some ways not so good.
First off you can't make your cities as big as you used to be able to, since the game has taken away the ability to zone land you have to place buildings individually. Also the buildings have more direct results and they require more than just money to run. You need to use values to run the buildings. You may need to place several different buildings just to put 1 other building in.
Other than than those things the game is great!!
The level of detail to the game is astounding!! You can zoom in so close you can make out facial expressions on your sims. You can even see their drunken staggering after going to the bar and what-not. There are so many different types of sims such as the police, the S.W.A.T. team, hippies, mimes, fire fighters, street preachers, and pickpockets.
The game hasn't gotten rid of every thing familiar to the game, you can still cause natural disasters (YAY!!!) also there is still a ticker-tape at the bottom of the screen telling you all of the important information (and sometimes weird things).
The game is much easier to access than SC4 or other installments.

To sum it up it's hard to build large cities but other than that it's really great game!
